SUGAR SHOWED
our BACKBONE
American Willingness to Give Up
Luxury Demonstrated Ma
tons War Conscience.
STAND WITH THE ALLIES.
BY Reducing Consumption People Of
the United States Averted a
Famine at Home in Spite
Of Low Supplies

The fact that the people OF the
more than one-half million tons their
July, August, September and October
consumption Of sugar proves conclu-
sively that their war conscience was
thoroughly awakened and that the
country as whole stood ready to fol-
low the injunctions of the Government.
Our normal consumption of sugar in
the four-month period beginning with
July has been 100000 tons per month,
a total of 100000 for the quarter
year.
In July, when our sugar stringency
began to reach its height, consumption
was reduced to 100000 TONS In Au-
gust only $4,000 tons went into dis.
tribution and In September only 219,-
600 tons. In October the distribution
fell to 100000 tons.
II the general public had failed to
observe the injunctions of the Food
Administration this country would
have Mem In the throes of sugar
famine before the end of August Our
visible supplies were SO low as to bring
great anxiety to those familiar with
the sugar situation. They feared that
It would be absolutely impossible to
reduce consumption to a point where
sugar would no longer be a mere lux
ury In the American diet.
Few accomplishments of the Food
Administration will stand forth so pre-
dominantly as this reduced consump-
tion OF sugar. BY II we have been able
to bridge over the period of stringency
until the new beet and Louisiana cane
sugar crops wire In sight. IS
Now the nation Is in position so
that II we choose we may return to
our normal home use of sugar, and
Europe, with the release of ships to go
far afield, can maintain its recent re-
stricted rations. If, however, those
nations are to increase their use Of
sugar very considerably 1t must be by
our continued sharing with them
through limiting our own consump-
ton. e4

Paris.--(By Mail)-A sugar-coated
American Expeditionary Force is the
ideal now being striven for in the
mark-time period of the armistice and
rehabilitation, with fighting gone and
the American fighting men suddenly
turned into uniformed tourist-seeing
France. Peace, as has been quoted
often, has Victories, and one of them
is to be the victory over the evil in
fuences which besiege an idle army
In this campaign the Y. NJ. @. A
has planned the drive and the sol
diers are executing 1t. Incidentally,
the Y. NJ. O. A. has gone into compe-
tition with the wine-shop, as this story
will relate.
During the period Of rehabilitation,
the Y. M. @. A. will have an even
greater responsibility than 1t has had
while the war was on. The soldiers
then had the inspiration of being in
the fight-or backing up the fighters
to spur them on. They also were ex-
tremely busy and their time for recre-
alton and for spending money was
limited. But there has been a let
down since the armistice was signed,
and the men in olive drab are walt
ing for transportation home

TIMELY ACTION

The alien stacker bill, which is now before congress, and which provides for the deportation of" aliens who are unwilling to assist the Allied cause, seems like a good measure. For, why should we continue to har- bor foreigners in this country after they have shown by their actions, or lack. of action, that they do not think enough of the United States to render assistance in time of need. Such men cannot become good citi- zens and their continued presence in America has a bad influence upon those who come in contact with them. In the course of time, they will become dangerous agitators. They never will become patriots.
 If such men will not fight, they certainly are not to be trusted in our work shops. And if their de- portation should threaten the crea- tion of shortage of labor, we be- live the best interests of the country would be better served by importing Chinamen to take the places of the slackefs. Chinamen are good work CTS and they are not agitators, two excellent qualities not common to numerous of the other nationalities which we have received within our boundaries with open arms.
 We hope the time will not soon come when it will be necessary to ask Orientals to help us, for we realize that their standards of wages are such as to threaten standards of living among American working men, But we prefer the Chinks to men of other countries who will not fight. ....

7, TIME FOR A CHANGE

If. it can be shown that Governor Strong encouraged Mine Inspector William Maloney to enter the terri torialy. primaries in opposition to Delegate Sulzer, the people of Alaska will be justified in demanding of President Wilson that new man be sent to Juneau to take charge of our territorial affairs. We have only the word of Democrats a. Jun eau that the governor was mixed up in the affair, but there has been no denial, and until there is the governor will stand convicted of try ing to undermine the party to which he is indebted for his present posi- The excuse of Maloney's packers that they. are trying to dislodge the Democratic machine in Alaska, is not an explanation which will be accepted by. the regular Democrats of the territory. It is easier. to be- -lieve that Maloney and his followers are trying to- insure, the election of Wic4sersham by. defeating Sulzer in the primaries. Had the self-styled anti-machine Democrats been act ated by a real desire to rid the terri tory of so-called machine rule, they would have selected a real Demo crat to oppose Sulzer-a man in whom the people have confidence and one with sufficient strength among the voters to insure his cleo tion should he be. chosen as the reg ular nominee of. the party.
 The. affair looks suspicious and we are sorry to hear, that our governor has had a hand in it. He has enough to answer for without attempting, by such methods, to to defeat his own party.

MISSING AN OPPORTUNITY


 A glance over the record of things accomplished for. Alaska by the Alaska bureau of the Seattle Com mercial club does not show that any thing has ever been done by that organization to secure a reduction of freight and passenger rates be- tween Alaska and Puget Sound. And we have not been advised that any action is being taken at the present time, by that organization, to pre- vent the steamship companies from exacting additional tribute from Northerners, If this matter has not been taken up by the Alaska bureau, our friends in the Spirit City are missing an opportunity to render valuable ser vice to the territory. Any advance in rates that the steamship compan- ies may compel Alaskans to pay, however slight the advance, renders more difficult the development of the Northland. The, transportation charges already are excessive. The

TIED HANDS

Nenana finds itself in a peculiar position with regard to the dog situ- ation. No provision is made in the townsite regulations for abating the dog nuisance otherwise than by the establishment of pound, and eX- perience already has demonstrated that impounding the canines is not profitable business-not profitable enough, at least, to keep a pound man on the job. And the council of defense, which was created to as- sist the government in putting the nation on a solid war footing by conserving the resources and en- couraging cooperation in all mat ters pertaining to the war, is equal ly powerless to rid the community of worthless and dangerous dogs, which are a menace to life and which consume daily a large amount of food which should be conserved for human consumption. The local food administrator is also without au- thority to act, beyond seeing to it that dealers do not supply dog own CTS with food which should be sold to families.
 The situation is serious one. There are far more dogs in town than can be fed by the scraps from restaurants and private homes; and there is not enough other dog feed in the town to supply the demand The result is that many dogs are eating food which may be hard to replace during the coming buying season; they are feeding on sheep and other game animals which may not be killed for human consumption at this season of the year; and they continue to menace the lives of the children of Nenana.

GUS HAHN ARRIVES
 FROM THE KANTISHNA

Gus Hahn, formerly in partnership in Nenana Tuesday night from the Kantishna gold fields, where he has been working on No. IA above Gla- cier creek. MT. Hahn says that the creeks are glaciered to such an extent that unless there is a large rain early in the spring, there will be very short mining season there next summer. On Eureka creek alone, there is over forty feet of glacier on the creek bottom and more forming every day.
 Van Orsdel and Hahn sunk two holes on No. II but the prospects were so poor that they have discon- tinued mining. They were using a large boiler, with the nearest wood three miles away, some of it being a six mile haul with dog team. Mr. Hahn says that the country, while it is a very good hard rock proposition, it does not pay for the miner to attempt to make any more than grubstake by working with the pick and shovel as the ground is too low grade proposition. How ever, he belives that with better facilities for getting the grub in there, the cost could be reduced very much. There is plenty of gold, galena ore and antimony in there, but no facilities for handling it.
 Mir and Mrs Van Orsdel plan on coming to Nenana for good, early in , the spring or as soon as the river opens.
 MT. Quigley is still working on the same ground and has over six hun dred feet of tunnel run on his prop erty. Andy Ness and John Lee are still working on the ground sublet from Van Orsdel. Ness is now on No. 12 above Glacier and is getting ready to ground sluice. Joe Dalton Is on Eureka creek, about seven miles from Glacier, and is preparing for the summers work. MT. Hahn met Mrs. White with her outfit about eight miles from Dia- mond and she was using one horse, relaying the outfit each trip. He says that at the rate they are going it will be two weeks before they get to the ground they intend prospect ing.

cost of travelling on Alaska steam ships is such; that many people are prevented. from making the Nor thern voyage; the cost of shipping supplies has resulted in the tempor- ary abandonment of moderately pro- ductive mining ground in all sections of the Interior country. and all but stripped the richer properties of profit.

IN HOTEL
 BUSINESS ON COAST

In a letter recently received by Harry Davis, from Curly Benson. formerly one of the partners in the Tavern Cafe here, Curly tells of things as they are on the coast, and of the doings of the boys who left here this winter. Mir. Benson has purchased the Stewart Hotel, house containing one hundred and one rooms, and is catering to the working class. He says that Frank Schumacher and Alex Capewell are both doing well. Nick Gulliford is now the proud owner of Ford bug, and is making up for lost time. He also states that Nenanaites don't know the meaning of high prices. as they should get a taste of Seattle. In speaking of the cafes, he says: you pay for everything you order and then when it's all on the table you haven't got anything to speak of. The present influx of laborers and ship builders, says Mr Benson, has made business very good in Seattle and unless there is sulmp in things generally, he looks for the good times to continue

MRS. CASWELL WRITES;
 SAYS HEALTH IS BAD

In a letter addressed to Mrs. Henry Baatz, of this city, Mrs. Phil Caswell writes that she is still 'hang- ing on" but holds out little hope of ultimate recovery. She is at pres ent with her folks at Lake George, New York, where she is under the care of two doctors who, thus far, apparently have been unable to agree on 8 diagnosis of the case. Mrs. Caswell left for the Outside early in the winter, accompanied by her husband, and at the time of her departure from Nenana, it was fear ed that she would not live until she could reach her home in the East. The letter is as follows:
 My Dear Friend Just a few lines while I am able to write. The doctor has just given me some nor phine so that l would be able to write a few letters. am confined to my bed now all the time. Have had two doctors and they don't agree. One is the best surgeon in this part of the state. He says, after l get stronger, 1 will have to go to the hospital for X-Ray treat ments. My journey was too much for me. The doctor will not let me sit up. I wish you could run in and see me. You are so cheery, always.
 Everyone has been so good to me here. wish you could see the flow CTS I have, they are in pots. I have had so much company, but I am allowed to see only a very few. Oh, it is such a terrible winter so much snow. But the sun shines beautifully now. 1 love to watch it. My girlies were so glad to see me- Lorine now lacks only two inches of being as tall as I.
 "This war business is terribly grim. All we see is soldier boys, and food is so scarce and people here freezing to death for the want of coal. Mother has enough to keep us nice and warm and most of her friends bring their knitting and spend the afternoon so they can keep warm.
 Phil has had to stay rJ Int with me. My boy has been so good to me. never could have made the trip without him. We had a terrible trip from Seattle-got stalled all along and the cars were so cold.

ARCHIE BYRNE WRITES
 FROM SPIRIT CITY

That there are over fifteen thous- men working in the Seattle ship yards is the information recently received in a letter from Archie Byrne, formerly Of Nenana. MT. Byrne left here last December, and reports hard trip over the trail. The party he was travelling with were fifteen days on the way to An chorage Archie was in Anchorage about a week and says that things are very dull there, business being about at standstill. Times are a little better in Seward, and it ap- pears to be the best town of the two, in his opinion.
 Archie made an attempt to enter the army, but was disqualified on account of his teeth, as was his partner, for the same reason. He states that the recruiting officers are still very strict and very few get by unless physically perfect. Joe Robbins, who went out with Byrne, remained in Anchorage, to work in a pool room. Harry Lewis remained at Seward, where he is also working. Jack Wilbur is work ing at the government shipyards in Seattle. McCauley is with the Nor thern Pacific railroad in the coast yards. Jack Savoy is working at the Dosey Ship yards mess house. Archie says that he has met several of the boys who went out from Ne nanan, and that they are we'll situ- ated, either in Seattle or Tacoma and seem to be doing well. ..
