RIGGS TALKS
 ON ROAD AND
 C0VERN0RSHIP

If you'll tell me when we are going to get our money | will be able to tell you q great deal more about our future pans" said Thomas Riggs, Jr., yesterday, when inter viewed regarding railroad work. And continuing. he said "Our work tIrs summer is contingent on our getting our appropriation and the necessary equipment. We are greatly delayed as everything now stands, and will probably be more so by the delay in the matter of the appropriation and by reason of the fact that it takes long time to get equipment here from the Outside The late opening of the river also delayed us to a considerable extent"
 Mr Riggs is here from Nenona looking over the Tanana Valley rail road, recently purchased by the gov ernment. He says that the pur chase of the railroad was the first step in the matter of Secretary Lanes policy of developing the re sources of Interior Alaska. He further stated that the railroad will remain as it is, at least for the pres ent, although it is probable that d few repairs will be necessary.
 In speaking of the Tanana Valley Mr. Riggs referred to the standardi- zation of the road He said that he had been questioned number of times regarding whether or not it to those queries he now says that it will not; that it will be allowed to remain narrow gauge as at pres ent When standard gauge track is put in between Fairbanks and Happy station a third rail will be laid for the use of the narrow gauge rolling stock, and it will also be used on this end of the line, according to the railroad builders plans.
 Questioned regarding his probable appointment to the goyernorship of l Alaska, Mr Riggs had little to say, although he made a few noncom- initial remarks. He did say, when further questioned however, that if he leaves the interior to accept the governorship of Alaska, there will be no change here in regard to railroad work other than in the commission ership It will be prosecuted as rapidly as he is now pushing it, or even at greater speed he says.
 It is entirely probable that consid- erable work will be done on this end of the railroad this season, pro viding money is appropriated in time for work. In MT Riggs opinion there is no doubt that the confer ence report on the sundry civils bill, not yet passed by the house of representatives, but which has passed the senate, is regarding the appropria- ton of $7,50O,00O for railroad work in Alaska this year Including the l $3,000,000 already advanced. that amount would sum up the $l0F5OO 900 requested for the work by Sec retary Lane when congress convened last fall

SIGNAL CORPS
 BUNCH BALKS
 AT ANSWERING

Having been subpoenaed by Henry T. Ray to appear before him and answer questions regarding the last delegate election, all ot the mem bers of the detachment of signal corps men stationed here refused yesterday to do so. That is, they refused to answer the questions pro pounded and to be sworn after ap- bearing before MT Ray in answer 10 the subpoonas AS their authority for taking such action the signal corps men contended that Mir. Ray had not the proper authority 10 ques- ton them After all the men had taken the above described action Mr. Ray announced that the invesuga- ton would be adjourned until Thurs day afternoon at l o'clock, at which time those who had been subpoenaed would be expected to appear again.
 MT Ray is taking dispositions in the matter of the contest of last falls delegate election Instituted by Judge James Wickersham. He re gently returned from trip 10 Tan ana where he took ninety-two depo- sitions of soldiers and others It is in an effort to perform the duty that has been placed upon him that he is endeavoring to take the depo- sitions of the local signal corps de tachment. He says that he had no trouble whatever in securing all of the dispositions he requested at Panama.
 Attorneys John A. Clark and Cecil Ii. Clegg appeared yesterday before Mr. Ray in behalf of Delegate Sul- ger. MT. Ray failed to recognize rhem however, as attorneys for the delegate until Mr Clark had pro duced telegram authorizing them to act. They then filed the follow ing written objection to the pro ceedings:
 "On behalf of MT. Charles A. Sul- ger We object to the proceedings herein and to the taking of the tes- timony of the following witnesses, viz:
 Robert Loghry, James G. Coleman, Harry Shuts, John E. Pegues, Chas. Agnetti, Raphael Myerson, Frank R. Moore, Austin Foster, Thomas Grit fin, William Kirby. Durwood NJ. Hooker.
 That no sufficient, proper, or le- gal notice was given to MT Sulzer, as required by Section 10S of Chap ter s, Revised Statutes of the United States, in that the alleged notice oi the taking of these dispositions failed to state at what particular place within the town of Fairbanks said depositions would be taken. also be cause said alleged notice failed to state the name or names of the Wit nesses who were to give testimony in these proceedings, and did not state the name of any witness whose deposition was to be taken under said proceedings; also on the ground that the residence of the witnesses was not stated in said alleged notice, nor the residence of any witness.
 On the further ground that nc notice whatever, nor any legal notice has been given to MT. Sulzer as to the proof intended to be offered by Mir Wickersham, or as to the facts alleged by him as the basis for this contest, and that MT. Sulzer, the re turned member, has no information whatever as to the issues to be pre- sented by this contest, nor has any notice as to the issues in this con test been furnished or given in any

CORN M EAL

CORNME TEAL
 The high nutritious value of cora meal and the low price at which it sells makes it the cheapest available food.
 One pint of corn meal to quart of boiling salt water boiled 10 min utes and then cooked over slow fire Tor an hour or two will make a good mush, to be served with milk The meal should be added slowly while stirring.
 A good, old southern recipe for making corn bread calls tor pint sour milk, 1 teaspoontul butter, pint corn meal, l egg, haIl-tca spoonful blcarDonate of soda Dis solve soda i'll a tablespoonful ot warm water; add milk and stir a moment, add egg, well beaten; the butter, melted, and then the corn meal Beat quickly and turn into a shallow creased pan. Bake 30 to 10 minutes in a moderately heated oven. OATS
 Oats are rich in nitrogenous mat ter and mineral substances, of which it loses less in the preparation than many of the other grains One pound of oat meal will yield twice as much muscle building material as an equal quantity of bread Lett over cereals can be utilized as thick ening for soups or as additions to mullins.

CA r s
FANS AND PEAS

These vegeta bles are unsurpassed as flesh makers or muscle and tissue builders. They contain double the amount of nitrogen found in wheat, and should be used in place of meat, never with meat, except beans and lat pork or peas and bacon They are exceedingly valuable for those who live out of doors.
 To prepare baked, mashed dried peas, soak over night. Next morn ing drain and supply fresh cold Wa ter Cook about three hours, after adding a saltspoonful of bicarbonate of soda Drain through colander, savi1g water, and press the peas through the colander. Add a little salt and pepper and a quarter of a cupful of hot milk and beat until light. Turn into dish and bake one hour. Serve with boiled rice.
 Red and white dried beans may be eaten as a satisfactory substitute for meat Every housewife ought to know that they should be soaked over night, drained and boiled about two hours They may be baked and seasoned to taste.

 FROM NENANA
Special to The Citizen)

NENANA. June Arrangements for the big Red Cross and Belgian relief carnival, bazaar and dance are
 going on full blast, and it is now expected that there will be a large crowd of Fairbanks people in at tendance. In view of the fact that Fairbanks and Nenana are to play
 game of ball here on Sunday, it

 The committee in charge of ar rangements for the affair reports the
 receipt of all kinds of donations that will be put on sale in the antique shop and in the second hand store. And the culinary abilities Of some
 of the ladies who are in charge of the refreshment end of the affair are too well known in Nenana not
 to be an absolute guarantee that there will be something doing every
 minute in that line.

SOME INEXPENSIVE DISHES

flesh and tissues White fish Is more easily digested than pink or red meat fish Fish and rice might well replace meat and potatoes. FISH CHOWOER

Mold into any desired form and bake in moder- ate oven for hours, basting from time to time The whole should cost very little and should be sufficient for persons.
 PASTE DISHES
 Macaroni, spaghetti and mostocci- oli are moderate priced foods. They have about the same food value as common white bread They should take the place in the meal of pota- toes or rice These dishes, with cheese, constitute the bread and meat of Italian workmen and by some food experts are considered de ,irablo substitute for meat.
 Paste dishes should never be put in cold water Have the water at boil and sprinkle the macaroni in, Stir for a while and let it boil rap idly for 30 minutes.

The Housewives Economy Calendar
by Frances MARSHALL

your winter trunks in which clothes
are stored away, there are pieces of
material or old clothes that could
quite nicely be cut down for gar
ments for children. What is the
use of saving them? Surely they
will never be so valuable again as
they will De next winter, or as long
as war prices prevail. And there
will probably not be a time for
many years when such garments
will be of such good use as they
will be next winter.
This is what 1 am going TO do
with some nice pieces Of material
that / have had stored away for a
long time, and some garments that,
though out Of style. contain consid-
cradle good and attractive wooden
material. l am going to find cGt
the ages of the children at some
nearby children's home who will
most surely be in need next winter
and then 1 am going 70 get a paper
pattern of a dress and a coat for a
child Of that age and then with the
help Of the seamstress 1 am going
to make all the surplus material in
10 nice warm children's clothes that
will he a pleasure 20 make and that
will. I am sure. come as a blessing
20 some one next winter.

Katherine dream that the broad

Mrs. Greene was as patriotic as
