The Nenana news., 1917-01-13

Dispatches received from the national capital during the week indicate that there is a disposition on the part of congress to dispose of the liquor question in Alaska once and for all during the present session. A bill has been intro duced and is now before the house committee on territories, which, if passed, will make the territory 'bone dry," and it is the opinion of Chairman Houston that the con- mittee will render a favorable re- port on the measure within a few days. That means quick passage by the house, at least, for it can- not be argued now, by those op- posing the measure, that Alaskans do not want prohibition.
 The vote on the wet and dry question which was taken through out the Territory in November doubtless will be regarded by con- gress as a true expression of sen- timent among Alaskans, regardless of the question which has been raised regarding the right of the territorial legislature to issue a call for a referendum.
 And it is worthy of note, in this connection. that the introduction of the prohibition bill has been re- ceived in the North with less show of resentment than was evidenced when an earlier attempt was made by the national lawmakers to put the territory in the dry list. It is as if Alaskans had spoken their minds on the question and cared little how soon Prohibition came or by what route.

lot of prospecting is in progress and the work is being done by men who understand the prospecting game thoroughly. They may not succeed in finding the pay this winter; there are not enough men in the hills to complete the work in a single season; but the gold is there and it will require consider able dodeing to avoid discovery before the warm weather of spring drives the prospectors from their work.
 Shippers of Interior Alaska will welcome the advent of the new transportation company which has been organized by the people of Fairbanks. It is a step that they should have taken years ago, but sufficient time will elapse before the completion of the railroad to enable those behind the enterprise to realize handsomely on their in- vestment, providing the affairs of the concern are handled properly and no mishaps occur on the river. The saving on freightage charges alone each season will amount to $50,000, and there should be, in addition, a substantial profit on the investment. If it has the fa- cilities to handle all the freight offered, the new company should receive the support of every inde- pendent shipper in the Interior, for it is certain that rates will not be lowered until there is a rival company on the river.

If there is any truth to the re- port that John w. Troy is a candi- date for the governorship of Alaska the Nenana News will welcome the opportunity to assist him to land the place. As editor of the Juneau Empire, MT. Troy has done as much for the Democratic party in Alaska as any other one man, and the splendid showing made by the Democratic candidate at the late election, was due, in part at least, to the consistent cam paign carried on through the edit ial columns of the Juneau news paper.

quartermaster department ut
American lake to give him infor-
nation as TO how much labor they
can supply and the amount of
work they can handle in connec-
tion with the construction OF the
buildings for the new army city
at American lake.
The contractors had asked for
the conference. which was arrang-
ed by Secretary Kemmer of the
Commercial club. They had fig
ures to show that the entire work
of housing the 10000 men could
be handled by Tacoma firms.
Stone said he was anxious to
get all the data possible from Ta-
coma builders before the con-
tracts are let, but would not say
that he has authority to say what
firms or group of firms will be
awarded the contract.
Just who will have this author
Iity, Secretary Kemmer was unable
to learn Thursday.
What We need is to get quick
faction, If the work of construc-
ton is to go to Tacoma firms, and
lit was for this reason that | ar
ranged for the conference today"
he said.
That the contract for the work
will be awarded before the end
of the week was the information
received from Washington. d. C.
Capt. Stone declared he was
waiting for instructions from
Washington. and that no steps
could be taken until these instruc-
tons should arrive.
