COMBING WON'T RID
HAIR OF DANDRUFF

The only sure way to get rid
Of dandruff is to dissolve It, then
you destroy it entirely. To do
this, get about four ounces of Or

night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub 1t
in gently with the finger tips.
Do this tonight, and by morn
ing most, IL not all, of your dan
druff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will COM
pletely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace
Of IL, no matter how much dan
druff you may have.
You will find, too, that all
itching and digging Of the scalp
will stop at once. and your hair
will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy,
silky and soft, and look and feel
q hundred times better.
You can get liquid arvon at
any drug store. IL is inexpensive
and never fails to do the work.

you about our trip so far.
We left San Francisco Thurs
day evening, Jan. "a, after load

freight. There were 500 sailors,
200 soldiers and about $50 Ger
man prisoners, who were taken
from the Philippine islands and
are being taken to some port on
the eastern coast.
The Germans are kept i'm a sep
arate part Of the ship and are
guarded at all times by the SOL

cisco We had over 1000 on board,
SO you see it was pretty crowded.
We went to the Panama canal
from Frisco and made the run in
a little less than seven days, ar
irving in the afternoon of Jan. 81.
We stayed in Balboa, which is
just at the western entrance OF
the canal, until Saturday morning.
While in Balboa we got six hours
liberty and went to Panama City,
which lis about a mile and a half
from Balboa.
1t is in the republic Of Panama
and has about $4,000 people.

not be booster, don't be knocker" said MT. Browne, whose whole-heart- ed support in any project with the development of the country's re- sources as the object in view, can always be counted on.
 It is the intention of the govern ment, MT. Browne said, to control public utilities for the public well fare, and the way they have ad- ministered the affairs of such public utilities in the States, as the rail roads, telegraph, cable and radio service, etc., has demonstrated the fact that the public who are af- fected by these utilities are much better served and derive more bene- fit from them. A government owned or government controlled smelter would be the proper thing ioi lhe iileiloI He Sdlu, anu d square deal in the matter of rates can then be calculated on. The present administration is very friendly to Alaska and the country has no greater friend that Secretary of the Interior Lane, who is ever ready to listen to any reasonable proposition that would benefit the Northland.
 Coal, lime, silica, iron and the other materials that are needed for the successful operation of shelter can be obtained in abundance ;n this district and in the nearby min ing districts, and it is up to the progressive spirits here to dig up the evidence of this and lay them before the proper authorities at Washington, with request for a shelter, and good is bound to result.
 Powerful opposition from the big interests will be encountered, he said, and the effort put forth by Nenanaites must be steady and per sistent. Temporary set-backs, fail ures and disappointments should not be allowed to interfere with the efforts put forth. These things may be disheartening, but they are not insurmountable and, he thought that the Commercial club with an united Nenana to back its efforts, should be able eventually to secure gov ernment shelter, the establishing of which will herald the dawn of big things for Interior Alaska in gen eral, and Nenana in particular.
The Nenana daily news., 1918-11-26
SHELTER
 FEASIBLE PROJECT

In his address delivered at the Commercial club smoker Saturday night, Frederick D Brown, engineer in charge of the Fairbanks division of the A. E. C., made mention of the possibilities in the Nenana district for the establishing of a large smelter to serve the needs of very large section of Interior Alaska. Fuel in abundance, as well as the other necessary material for the sue cessful operation of a smelter is readily obtainable in the Nenana and adjacent mining districts, and he thought that steps should be taken immediately to bring the matter to the attention of the proper au- thorities at Washington and early action urged. Nenana, Mir. Browne thought, was the proper place for the establishment of the shelter
 The advantages to be gained for Nenana and the whole of the In- terior mining districts by securing the smelter are incalculable, he said, and would be sure and certain means of the rapid development of the mineral resources of Interior Alaska on scale hitherto undreamed of. Coincident with the building of the smelter here, the building of branch railroad lines to the ore pro- ducing districts will be a necessity, giving employment to great many men, who will later become per manent residents and help in the development of Alaska. Mir. Browne has kept in close touch with the mining situation and said that full advantage should be taken of the fact that Nenana is the divisional headquarters for the government railroad and is also situated in the heart of highly mineralized belt, embracing the Kantishna, Totat- lanika, Hot Springs, Panama, Kus- kokwim and other districts, and that full advantage should be taken of this also to boost for the smelter With the establishment of the smelter, other important industries of a permanent character are bound to spring up, insuring Nenana's future greatness. Concerted action was the keynote of MT. Browne's remarks, and action, he said, should not be delayed moment Nenana s opportunity is at hand. ''If you can

Fox farmers in the Prince William

Fox farmers in the Prince William Sound district report a prosperous season, owing to the extreme dry summer, and expect to reap a har- vest this coming winter. A large number of pups were born and are doing well, the losses being reported exceptionally small as compared to those of previous years. The fur farming industry is becoming one of the large businesses in this sec tion, and is rapidly increasing n volume from year to year. Wagner & Liljgren are the pioneers in the business in this district, having a large ranch on Nakel Islands. Ross & Hoyt, J. D. Jefferson and dozens of others also have extensive ranches.

OUR SCENIC ASSETS

Alaska has wealth of beautiful scenery, varied in character and un- equalled in grandeur, which some day will prove to be one of the terri tory's chief attractions. That these scenic wonders are not now a great CT source of benefit is due to the fact that they, like our mineral and other numerous resources, have not been sufficiently developed"
 During the seasons before the war a few tourists braved the dangers of Alaska's uncharted waters to get a glimpse of our remarkable glaciers, smoking volcanoes, tower ing and jagged coast line and thousand and one other equally in- teresting sights to be seen along the Western edge of Alaska. Some even have invaded the Interior coun- try, in search of additional attrac- tions, and those who have come have been well repaid, for there is no country in the world just like our Alaska. That we have not had more of these scenic-searching visitors is the result of failure on our part to make the attractiveness of the Northland sufficiently we'll known 1; and the failure of our transporta- tion companies to provide inviting travelling accommodations.
 The completion of the govern ment railroad will very largely solve the tourist transportation problem for the Interior country, and will, in addition, open up new wonder land in the way of scenic attrac- tions, chief among which is Mt. Mckinley. With such an attraction, in addition to the many others which are numbered among the territory's scenic assets, it will not require a great deal of persuasion to induce sight-seers in steadily increasing numbers, to come our way. With the war over, Americans are ready to begin travelling again, and we of the North should be prepared to in- terest them in our country. Tour ists, it is true, are not as needful as investors and homeseekers, but their coming will contribute very materially to the upbuilding of the country.
 Make, a commercial value of you, scenery" advised Chairman F., O. : Mccormick, of the federal commis sion, in an address delivered recently at Seward. Your lakes ~4e prettiel than those of Italy; your mountains surpass those of the Alps, and there is more ice in one glacier on Kena Peninsula than there is in Switzer land.
