Practically all contractors engaged in getting out ties and logs for the Alaskan Engineering commission, have been compelled to stop work, the heavy snowfall of the past sev- eral weeks having covered the ground 10 such q depth that it is next to impossible to move about in the woods.
 And that i; not the worst of it. Thouzands Of ties and many logs are scattered about the woods, where they were cut. and cannot be moved until the snow disappears. Even if it were possible to find the tirnbers beneath the snow, it would not be an easy task to yard them just now.

REGRETFUL DELAY

It is matter of regret to the people of Nenana that a fight has been started against the confirma- ton of MT. Riggs as governor of Alaska. There are two reasons for regret. First, because of the under hand tactics which are being used by those opposing the appointment, and second, because of the delay in reaching decision in the matter.
 Insofar as we have been able to learn, those opposing MT. Riggs have not put forward any real ob- lection to his appointment. It must be admitted, even by the supporters of Governor Strong, that MT. Riggs can fill the office at Juneau as cap ably as it is being filled at present. And they must admit, aiso, that Mir. Riggs is a better Democrat than the governor has proven himself to be. As for the charge that Mir. Riggs is not a friend of labor, the people of Nenana know well that nothing has occurred here to warrant such a charge h fact, 1t Is doubtful if many men could be found, in charge of work of such magnitude as the
