The Engineering Commission has
been the object of some criticism in
Fairbanks because of its alleged dila-
tory action in connecting the railroad
from the Neuana coal fields ON through
Nenaua to Fairbanks, old and estab-
community. Recently statements We're
made in Fairbanks to the effect that
there would be nothing but a narrow
guage road north of Nenana. Con-
corning this, Commissioner Riggs,
while i'm Fairbanks to meet Chairman
Edes, is credited by The Citizen with
making the following statement:
until the bridge across the Tan
ANA river at Neuana is completed, the
railroad between Fairbanks and Ne
mana may be narrow guage. eW are
building it that way i'm order equip
meut of light weight may cross ice
of the river during the winter and on
the ferries in the summer We are,
however. building the grade on this
end for standard guage track, and are
using standard guage ties everywhere
for construction work. Therefore,
when we get ready to change the track
from narrow to standard guage all We
will have to do is to move one rail-
which work, 1 think, can be accomp-
Hsbcd i'm four days time"
Asked by the reporter of The Citi-
zen. regarding the statements made by
himself, Chairman Edes and Mr..
Christensen, chief Of the land and in
dustral department Of the commits
sion, at the banquet rendered by the
Nenaua Commercial Club to Mr.. Edes,
Mr. Riggs said in part:
"The people of Fairbanks are too
quick to jump at conclusions. l have
been here but a few hours, yet I have
already heard remarks tending to
prove the jealousy of the business peo-
pie of Fairbanks in regard to Nena- /.
ma. They are not looking toward the
future good that the railroad will do .
Fairbanks and other points in the i'm.

Mike Lucey is known to every
man, woman and child in the Idita-
rod district. He is a typical Irish
man and proud of it. Mike was called
as a witness for Johnny Beaton, the
other night when he was being admit
ted to citizenship in the U. S. Judge
Pratt asked the customary questions.
Mike claimed citizenship in the U. S.
by naturalization. Then came, "What
is your native country" Mike was
astounded. He strongly suspected that
there was some fun going on at his
benefit. However, he threw back his
shoulders and said, "Omeland" Even
Judge Bunnel smiled.

terror; rather, are they kicking be-
cause Fairbanks is not the payroll
town.
"You can say that l said that Ne
mana will always be a distributing
point; you cannot get away from it.
1t is the most desirably located of any
town in the interior for that purpose.
All Of the lower river country will
be tributary to it and it will always
be good small town.
"The government is not spending
or will not spend any money in i'm
provements at Nenana The law pro-
vides that fifty per cent of the amount
received from the sale Of lots be put
in improvements for the townsite. All
money over and above half of the
amount realized from lot sales that
goes in improvements, will by petit
ton by the townspeople of Nenana
and the government, be reimbursed by
assessments. Therefore, all of the
money placed in improvements at Ne
mana is being furnished by people who
have located there and who are con-
tributing to the welfare of the place.
IF there is a man in Fairbanks who
is fool enough to think that the rail
road between Fairbanks and Nenana
is going to be narrow guage when
finally constructed let him go out to
Happy and see the crew of men build

pie OF Fairbanks I said that, too"

MIR. Kaestner Makes Suggestions
Hood River, Dec. l8, ]

Hood River, Dec. IL, 1917
Editor Glacier: Many OF US have
noticed the many vacant stores in our
city and that others are going out of
business, and we have wondered why
it is. Some of us have given it con-
siderable thought. We have come to
the conclusion that there must be
something radically wrong.
Personally, from experience, find
that all prosperous towns in the west
are made so principally through their
chambers of commerce. For instance.
Los Angeles, San Diego, Pasadena.
Santa Barbara. and many towns
throughout the middle west, south and
other parts of the country. Now, we
have a chamber of commerce in Hood
River. We have seen fit to dispense
with the secretary, who does all the
work, live wire. He has been done
away with.
Now | would suggest, in order to Sc
cure members for the chamber of COM
merce, that every producer of foods OF
any kind be made an honorary member
of the chamber of commerce, paying
in dues of at least 81 each and up, ac-
cording to their means, and as they
see fit to promote the prosperity Of the
community.
Now, the chamber of commerce Of
every other city | have ever been in
has display of selected product of
every nature grown in the county un-
der glass and in showcases, 80 that
visitors can see what is raised. Then
instead of having swell clubroom,
with carpeted floor and fancy furni-
ture for a few to lounge around on,
the visitors can walk around and ex-
anime what they are interested in and
desk is furnished, supplied with lit
erature, stating just what can be done
with intelligent management on the
farm, the orchard and the forest. A
ledger is also handy for the visitor
from out of town to register his name
in, so that additional literature can be
mailed to him upon inquiry.
The chamber of commerce club room
has done an unlimited amount of good
through its use by the members in
helping the national government
through its Red Cross, Liberty Bond
sales etc. for which it should be highly
commended.
Now | think column in your paper
devoted TO letters from the various in
terests in the valley stating their ex-
periences would help the newcomers
and also bring in many others.

BARS PACIFlSTS AT CHICAGO
Governor Lowden Orders Troops to
City When Mayor Thompson
Sanctions Meeting.

Chicago, Sept. Ex-Governor Lowden
and Attorney General Brundage con-
ferred in Chicago over the city's mayor.
At the conclusion of their meeting il
was announced that the pacifist stu
alton was well in hand. Chicago was
assured that there will be no further
happenings such as that of Sunday,
when the delegates of the Peoples
council held a meeting here under po-
lice protection.
The governors action in sending
troops to Chicago to enforce his Or
ders was conclusive as to whether he
expects his orders obeyed.
That the mailed fist will be used
on agitators and others who seek to
stir up riot and disorder during the
war period, even though their pro-Ger-
man demonstrations have the sanction
of the mayor, was made known
forcibly.
That the governor has full author
ity to take a firm hand in any situa-
ton which may arise in the city was
the advice given by Attorney General
Brundage.
The city council will meet in special
session to consider resolutions thank
ing Governor Lowden.

JOIN OVERSEAS DIVISION
Infantry Leave Camp Douglas
for Somewhere"

Camp Douglas -" Goodby and good
luck" rang through camp when Com
panies E, and G, the Second Wis
ccnsin infantry units now known as
the 150th machine gun battalion, left
for Somewhere" These companies
will join the overseas division in what
may be a brief period of intensive
training in the east and an early trip
to France.
All day Camp Douglas was on keen
edge, and the farewell setting was i'm
pressive. The soldiers marched
through a great avenue of olive drab,
nearly 10000 me nhaving been
brought into line for thrilling send
off.
Bands played, hats were thrown into
the air, and the old Wisconsin yell
turned into mighty roar as the boys
boarded their trains. See you in
France" was the favorite parting.
The bravest soldiers in the surging
crowd of khaki were the mothers who
came to say goodby.
Guardsmen who left and those who
remained behind realized that this was
a very genuine war farewell. Their
next meeting will be in mo Mans
land" Here and there serious face
peered over khaki uniform, but for
the most part the soldiers were gay,
glad to be on their way for the in
evitable meeting with Hans and Fritz.
Cardinal pennants and American
flags fluttered from many car win
dows. Bands were playing ION Wis
consin" when the troop trains disap-
peared around the bend. The men
travelled in tourist cars, with colored
porters clad in snow white suits to
look after their wants.
Both trains were generously provi-
stoned and carried enough Camp Doug
las water for the trip. From now on
there will be steady departure of
troops. 1t is understood the two bri-
gade headquarters will be the next to
leave.

ALL BACK PRESIDENT
WAR AIMS OF THE ALLIES MADE
CLEAR BY WILSON.
Washington officialdom Regards Note
as Sounding the Doom of
HohenzoIIernism.

Washington, Aug 81. - President
Wilson's rejecting the pope's peace
proposals was regarded here as finally
settling the question of dealing with
present German rulers, unconquered or
uncurbed at home. The president
makes it clear that lasting and dur
able peace can be negotiated only on
complete understanding with the Ger
man people, and not alone on unstable
guarantees of the existing government.
kilograms from all parts of the
country began to pour into the White
House approving President wilson's
reply to Pope Benedict's peace propos-
ais.
Upon motion of Senator Brady, who
characterized it as a last farewell to
the autocracy Of the world, President
Wilson's reply to the pope's peace pro-
posals was ordered printed in the Con-
greSSional Record.
while it rejects the pope's propos-
ais said he, ''it points the way for
the other nations to reach peace In
a fair and honorable manner"
President Wilson's reply met with
appreciation at the Russian embassy.
''The reply Of the United States to
the pOpe's peace note," it was said at
the embassy, seems to us Russians to
be an act Of highest political wisdom
and closely corresponds to the prin-
ciples and aims Of the Russian people
as formulated in the declarations of
the Russian provisional government.
'"The inspiring expressions of this
document have once more outlined the
fundamental aims pursued in this war
by the league of democratic nations.
1.-THE statement President Wilson
made is to facilitate to the German
people their entrance in the path of
democratic revival and gives thrill
ing anticipation of the final triumph
of democracy and justice throughout
the world.
"Militarism and the imperialistic
aims Of the German ruler have thus
received a new and powerful blow"

RUSS EVACUATE RIGA
BALTIC PORT ABANDONED WITH
OUT FIGHT-CAPiTAL NOW
IN PERIL.
FOE TO MARCH ON PETRoGRAD
War Office Announces That Sea Gate
to City Is Now openedso Germans
Seat of Government VIII Be
Moved to Moscow.

London, Sept. 5.-Riga, Russia's
principal Baltic port, has been aban-
doned to the Germans under the threat
of an offensive by land and sea in
which the deciding stroke on the land
side was delivered by the Germans last
Saturday.
The fate of Riga was virtually sealed
when German troops, powerfully mi
tiating their offensive, forced cross
ing of the Dvina southeast of the city
and began to push forward after max
ing good their foothold on the right
bank of the stream.
Menaced also by the attack of the
column of Teutonic forces moving from
Mitau, southwest of Riga, and by the
German naval forces recently reported
lowering in the vicinity of the Gulf
of Riga, the Russian military authori-
ties evidently considered the city no
longer tenable and deciSed to evacu-
ate it.
The instability of the Russian troops,
1T is indicated by the official state
ment, had an important influence upon
the decision to order the evacuation
of the Riga district so quickly after
the winning by the Germans of their
first success. AS had been the case
in Galicia and Roumania, some Of the
Russian units left their trenches with
out r1 king a fight.
Petrograd, Sept 5.-The war of
fee reports the abandonment Of Riga
by the army under orders for a re-
treat. Some Russian detachments, it
is stated, voluntarily left their posi-
lions and are retiring toward the north.

WILSON TO NATIONAL ARMY
President Sends Godspeed to the Men
Observation-Disclosures War Makes Us
Comrades and Brothers.

Washington, Sept. 5.-President Will
son, addressing final word to the
men drafted for Americas first great
National army, said:
ITO the Soldiers of the National
Army:
you are undertaking a great duty.
The heart of the whole country is with
you. Everything you do will be watched
with deepest solicitude not only by
those near and dear to you, but by the
whole nation.
For this great war draws us all to-
gether, makes us all comrades and
brothers, as all true Americans felt
themselves to be when we first made
good our national independence.
"The eyes of the world will be upon
you, because you are in some special
sense the soldiers of freedom.
"Let it be your pride, therefore. to
show all men not only what good SOL
diers you are, but also what good men
you are, keeping yourselves fit and
straight in everything and pure and
clean through and through.
'Let us set for ourselves a standard
so high it will be glory to live up to
it and add new laurel to the crown
of America.
"My affectionate confidence goes
with you in every battle and every
test.
God keep and guide you.''

INCOME TAX SHOWS
MARKED INCREASE
ASSESSMENT FOR WISCONSIN
WILL REACH ABOVE s7,ooo,oo
FOR THIS YEAR.
ST 500, 900 ABOVE LAST YEAR
present Law May Be Modified at Spe
cial Session to Meet War Emer.
gency Taxes - Corpora
tons to Pay More.

Madison-The income tax assessed
in Wisconsin this year Will reach
about 100000 1t may be more than
this amount. This is the opinion of
Nils ?. Haugen, chairman of the state
tax commission, who has been exam
ming income tax data for the present
assessment. This would be an increase
OF more than S1,500,0OO over last year.
The taxes on individuals will be much
larger than previously. Because Wis
consn allows personal property as an
offset, it is probable that only about
one-half of this amount will be col.
lected in actual cash.
Last year the income tax assessment
aggregated 1894 ,393.51. OF this
amount $3,745,1SO.16 was assessed
against corporations and the balance
Sl,601,213 against individuals. This
was the record since the income tax
law went into effect In 1912 the total
income tax amounted to S3,S42,145.6 Sc;
in 913 to $4,084,497.7 in 1916 the as
sessment was $4,145, 676.48, and for the
= 0N~~ AOAOS hl1Cn vas considered DOOR.
the assessment was $3,S37,317.O4.
1t was predicted last year that the
income tax to be paid by individuals
this year would be larger, but the pres
ent prospects of the amount to be as
sessed goes beyond anticipations. The
large returns coming in under the in
come tax law, has given rise to the
rumor that this law may be modified
to meet war emergency taxes. The
Bray bill for the repeal of the personal
offset is again talked of, and
the matter may come up before the
special session of the legislature
which is to be convened here in No
vember
The corporation tax will show an
enormous increase, much of it due to
the fact that war munitions are manu-
featured in Wisconsin.
