CABINS WANTED.

Among the urgent needs of Nena- na at the present time is more cabins. There has been a lot of building in the residence district during the past two months and many pretty homes have taken the place of the unsightly stumps which were much in evidence at the begin ming of the present season. But building has not kept pace with the demand for homes, and it will be found that this demand will increase steadily during the remainder of the summer. We must have more cabins Or be prepared to see Our population dwindle rapidly at the close of the working season.
 There is a demand-a constant insistent demand, for cabins of all kinds, from the cheap, one-room af- fairs, to the more pretentious home of several rooms. And owners of property will find that the investment of money in that kind of buildings will yield the biggest kind of re- turns. The income from suc' a source is not only above the average. It is immediate, certain and lasting. Every Alaska town has demonstrat- ed the wisdom of building houses for rent, and in that respect, at least, Nenana will be like all the rest. @ .:~.

DELEGATE SULZER GUARDS
 INTERESTS OF ALASKA

Washington, D. C.: Had not Del egate Chas. A. Sulzer, of Alaska, discovered an omission in the cir cular issued by the War depart ment early in June, announcing the second series of training camps for officers, the territory of Alaska would have been denied the privi- lege of having any of her sons wear shoulder straps in Uncle sam's new armies. The circular in question made apportionments for all of the states in the union, on the basis of population. Michi- gon got 4S2; Washington got 240; Oregon got 130; Arizona 40 and so on. But Alaska was left out.
 Delegate Sulzer took up the mat ter Immediately with the Adjutant General. He was informed that the Commanding General of the Western department had the matter in hand. The Commanding Gen eral of the Western department re- piled to MT. Sulzer's telegraphic in quiries that a special order from the Adjutant General would be neces- sary. MT. Sulzer again called on the Adjutant General and pleaded Alaska's cause. He pointed out thae the Alaskan patriot would make a better officer and soldier than his Eastern brother and cited as an instance the case of Captain Dan Pullen, of Skagway, who went to West Point from Alaska and graduated at the head of a class of men picked from all parts of the United States.
 The Adjutant General was con- vinced by the time MT. Sulzer left and on June 19 the formal order was issued allotting twenty places to Alaskans in the second officers reserve training camp at The Pre- sidio. Nevada, with a greater pop ulation than Alaska, was allotted but sixteen men.

S. O. S.

In view of the fact that Nenana is without a bank, it occurs to the News that a good substitute might be found in the local signal corps station. By that we mean that it might be advisable to appeal to the military authorities to so enlarge the scope of the local station that residents of Nenana would have the privilege of wiring funds to the Out side Or to any town of importance in Alaska. Under the present condi- tions local merchants are put to con siderable expense because of the ne cessity of sending their money else where to have it forwarded for them, in cases requiring quick action. They are required to pay double tolls and usually the delay in getting action means additional expense.
 This is matter which might be handled by the Commercial club with very gratifying results.

Good streets are an asset to any town. They stimulate civic pride, quicken the pulse of business and create favorable impressions On the minds of visitors. They are useful, ornamental and inspiring; splendid advertisement and a pleasure to those who use them.
 Nenana has one good street and the promise of several more just like it. If any doubt existed as to the advisability of carrying out the plan of improvement originally outlined that doubt has surely disappeared, for everyone must admit now that the A street investment was good One. Without it, in such weather as we have been having during the past two weeks, the business of the town would have been paralyzed and visitors, instead of lingering among us, glad to get away from the mud of their home towns, would quit us in haste, without venturing beyond the waterfront.
 One good street is big help, but we need more than one More streets more sidewalks and more improve ments on private property. We must cultivate the Nenana spirit and work it overtime. We must get busy.
