ed one of the largest retreats they have
as yet endeavored to negotiate. The dis

Nenana, Alaska, March 3, 1917.

The finding of new pay in the
Tolovana district is of importance
to Nenana. In fact, every claim
added to the producing list hence
forth, in that and other nearby
camps, means additional business
for local concerns, for another
winter will find Nenana prepared
to enter the QUILTING field on a
large scale, and able to cope sue
cessfully with those towns which
heretofore have enjoyed a monop-
oily.
The Tolovana is large con-
sumner of provisions, and annually
requires a considerable amount of
mining machinery and other sup
plies, large part of which are
shipped into the district over a
winter trail which passes close to
the doors of local merchants. Ne
mana, in fact, is the natural sup
ply point, winter or summer, and
doubtless much of the Tolovana
business can be induced to come
this way when local stocks have
been replenished and prices ad-
justed to a competing basis.
The Tolovana, however, is only
one of several adjacent districts
which should be supplied by local
business houses. The geograph-
ical position of Nenana is such as
to insure a large volume of out-of-
town trade providing serious effort
is made to attract new business.
1t will require lots of effort. high
grade goods and a reasonable mar
gin of profit.

west, are warned to do their buy
ing now, but prices have already
advanced to such an extent as the
result of large orders from the
Allied governments that home con-
sumption has dwindled materially.
Only last month the British gov
eminent placed an order with one
Portland firm for twelve million
feet ofspruce for knock-down hous-
es and aeroplane stock.
There is one thing about the
Prohibition movement which is
just now sweeping the United
States. In their enthusiasm to
suppress the liquor traffic the re-
formers have quite lost sight of
the cigarette evil, which was the
big noise a decade or so ago.
Bryan must have had his ear to
the ground when he decided to
retire to the hill overlooking the
national capital. The present is
certainly not the time for expound-
ing that grape-juicet theory of peace
at any cost.
1t would be interesting to know
exactly how many of our Interior
Alaskan farmers have benefited
by the rise in the price of potatoes
this winter. The majority of them,
it is safe to say, did not receive
much more than enough to pay
them for harvesting their crops.
Those supporters of Delegate
Wickersham who, at the COM
Of the counting. we're
to look askance upon the
work of the Territorial canvassing
board because of the political COM
plexion of that body, must admit,
now that the decision is rendered,
that the delegate was treated with
utmost fairness. There was no
evidence of partisanship through
out the proceedings, unless it was
on the side of Wickersham. In
fact, had the board been composed
entirely of Wickershamites, instead
of Democrats, they could not have
done more to insure the re-elec-
ton of the present delegate.
There are two ways of viewing
the election irregularities which
we're brought to light by the can
vassing board. Considering them
from a strictly legal standpoint,
many of the votes admitted by the
boardundoubtedly should bethrown
out. That is the opinion of many

the election irregularities which
were brought to light by the can
vassing board. Considering them
from a strictly legal standpoint,
many of the votes admitted by the
boardundoubtedlys should bethrown
out. That is the opinion of many
of the coast attorneys. But there
does not seem to be any evidence
of corruption. The votes, seem
ingly, were cast in good faith, but
without due regard for the require
ments of the election law, partly
the result of carelessness on the
part of election officials and partly
the result of unfamiliarity with the
regulations. These are the ques-
tons which the court will be called
upon to decide, and whichever way
the decision goes there is much
that can be said in support of the
ruling.

GUS HILL HAS ANOTHER SENSA-
TIONAL SUCCESS IN HANS AND
FRITZ.

1t is known and commented upon
throughout the entire theatrical
world, that no cartoon musical show
has ever been a genuine and lasting
success, that has not been under the
managerial banner of Gus Hill.
There is no question about the ability
of Mr.. Hill to select the sort of musi-
cal show best suited to the tastes of
the great mass OF theatregoers and
patrons of the popular form of amuse
ment. His life's effort has been to
amuse the masses and not the classes
Cartoon plays appealed to him as q
Snowman because the children like
the funny page, to select the cartoon
by the kiddies, has ever been his
guide. McFadden's Flats, Happy
Hooligan, Mutt and Jeff, Bringing Up
Father, have all been made famous
by their various conceptors. All four
of which were selected by Mr.. Hill
as containing the greater merit of the
numerous Funny Picture series, then
in vogue. The success of each one
of which has been without precedent
in theatredom. All four have created
new and unapproachable box office
records throughout the country.
Therefore, when r. Dirks, the orig
inator of The Katzenjammer Kids,
desired his Brain Folks, to become
actors, it was quite natural for him, to
seek out Gus Hill. The production
coming to the Majestic next Tuesday
will be a positive revelation in num-

struction from the United States to the
Warning Nations of Europe Should be
Prohibited by Law" Those on the

held the negative part. After a seven
minute talk by each of the speakers,
in which r. Kleinhans starred, the
judges, Professor Glenworth Sturgis
and the Misses Roessler and Emmons,
decided that the negative side had
won.
Miss Womelsdorf told the life of
Thomas Edison. Miss Biondi read an
article concerning diamonds This
article gave simple methods of test
ing whether a stone was q real dia-
mond or only paste.
