is going back lighter than he came down, for the reason that several of his flair freight" have remained with us, one of whom turned the visit into honeymoon. If Bob can do as well by us on each trip-that is, to leave a couple of very accept able young ladies in or town-we will welcome him every week.
 Jimmie Barrack and Jack Levick have decided that the reports cir culated in Fairbanks about Nenana being a slow town are all wrong, as, besides the succession of hap penings last week, Jimmie was near ly run over by Ford and Jack was held up on the corner of A and First street for fifteen minutes, while a traffic cop got the traffic strengthened out, which all goes to show that Fairbanks has nothing on us.
 Last week things were kept nov ing all the time, starting with the entertainment and dance at Union hall saturday evening. On Sunday evening, MT. and Mrs. Herman An derson held open house for the visi- tors and about thirty of their friends. An orchestra was engaged and sinoing, dancing and games took up the evening. Monday night Mrs. Cleveland got busy and, with the rest of the bunch, managed to se- cure the Coliseum, and big dance was held, lasting until early morn ing. Tuesday was the night of the box party, and Wednesday another dance, at the Engineering commis- sion office building; while the the atre party on Thursday night wound up the week of festivities.
 Bobby Sheldon says that it is his intention to make several more trips like this one in the hope of estab- fishing more intimate social relations : between the two towns, and that he will bring down Ford-full of chick ems every once in while. That sounds all right, and coming from Bobby, we might believe it, if we hadn't heard that persistent rumor about one R. Sheldon being some little mixer, master of ceremonies, etc., and especially being under sal ary from matrimonial agency. However, come again Bob, and bring the Tin Lizzie and the chickens" we're with you and for you.

Four men were recently arrested in Petersburg, following a near riot. According to a letter from a Jun: au resident who viewed the trouble, the matter seemed to have started over man tampering with the Red Cross fund box. He was arrested and led away under the eyes of his friends, and when the marshal enter ed the door a few minutes after, about twenty men jumped him. He succeeded in protecting himself un- til help arrived. According to the

SAYS
 DOSE MADE BO1CH
 QF SUMMIT TRAIL

The Commercial club has been urged to take immediate action with view to improving the trail over Broad Pass. MT. Dickson, who has spent considerable portion of the winter prospecting in the hills south of Nenana, appeared before the club last Sunday for the purpose of in- forming the members of conditions as he found them out the trail. and to register the complaint of road house men in that district, who claim that travel over the Broad Pass route will cease entirely unless trail conditions are materially inn proved
 Objection is made to the trail re- gently marked by Engineer Dose, of the Alaskan Engineering commission who was dispatched from Anchorage early in the winter with a party of helpers to pick out suitable and short route over the summit. MT. Dickson informed the club that the trail selected by the Dose party passes through an open, exposed country and cannot possibly be kept open, no matter how much travel may develop. The wind blows con- stantly, and the lakes and streams which the trail crosses render trav- cling unsafe during the fall and spring. The markings are distinct enough, according to Dickson, but the tripods are too far apart to af- ford protection to mushers in stormy weather.
 The club was informed that much better trail could be cut through the timber, by way of Jack river, materially shortening the dis tance and avoiding both wind and streams, thus making it a passable summer trail as well as a protected and easily followed winter trail.
 The statements of MT. Dickson were substantiated by MT. LeGault, owner of a roadhouse on the summit. He expressed the belief that new trail through the timber could be cut for comparatively small sum of money and suggested that inn mediate action be taken in order that travel from the Anchorage end might be stimulated It was stated that at least one party of mushers, headed for the Interior, had aband- oned the trip before reaching the summit, when they learned of the ! bad trail conditions.
 Woodbury Abbey was appointed to confer with MT. Dickson for the purpose of preparing map of the district for submission to the club at the next meeting, when definate action probably will be taken. The only other matter of interest before the club was telegram from Delegate Sulzer, requesting informa- tion regarding the Tolovana log jam and the opinion of the club relative to the importance of removing the obstruction. Messrs. Cooney, Slip perm and Secretary Joseph were ap- pointed to inquire into the matter, and they probably will have report to submit at the next meeting, which will be held at the usual place to- morrow afternoon.

COAL LAND UNITS READY FOR LEASE
 IN NEAR FUTURE

Secretary Lane, of the interior de- partment, has made formal an nouncement of the completion of the work of surveying and dividing into leasing units the more access sible part of the Nenana coal field, and states that as soon as the data is printed the lands that have been divided into leasing blocks will be offered for lease under the pro- visions of the Alaska coal land leas- ing law, act of October 20, 1914 (3S Stat, 74D. Announcement of the offer for lease is promised in the near future when full publicity of the leasing offer will be given through the press and the leading coal trade journals.
 The area to be offered comprises approximately 19,000 acres of land divided into 23 blocks or tracts, ranging from 160 to 1,664 acres, each block being in such form as is belived to permit the most econo- mical mining. A lease under the lay cannot exceed 2,56O acres, and may include one or more contiguous leasing blocks.
 The lands to be offered for leas- ing constitute the more accessible and immediate minable part of the sur veyed lands of the Nenana coal field, and are in T. II S., Rs. 5, 6 and 2, and T. 12 S., R. w., Fairbanks Meridian. They lie in the valley of Lignite creek, a tributary of the Nenana river, extending up the creek from its mouth for about 12 miles. The mouth of the creek is on the approved surveyed route of the government railroad from Sew ard to Fairbanks, at a point about 364 miles from the coastal terminus at Seward, and about 1O6 miles from the inland terminus of the rail- road at Fairbanks. While it is not possible to state when the railroad between Fairbanks and Seward will be finished, it is believed that the summer of 1918 will see the portion of the road completed from the coal field to the Tanana river, thus mak- ing this coal available for barge ship ment to Fairbanks and other river towns.
 The geologists who have examined this field report that the coal oc- CUTS in many beds of various thick nesses up to 30 or 35 feet, there being at least 12 beds of workable thickness, of which probably at least 6 are over 20 feet thick The coal bearing rocks are only gently folded and no intrusive rocks. are known to cut them.
 The coal of this field is Ignite of fair grade. While it is not suitable for export, it will furnish valuable and much needed fuel in portions of Interior Alaska that are now de- pendent on scanty and expensive supply of wood. The uses of Ne mana coal will probably be as loco motive fuel on the government rail- road, for power and thawing at the mines in the Panama valley, as do- mestic fuel in the Panama valley, and as river boat fuel on local Tan ana river boats and possibly on some of the Yukon steamers. It is desir- able that Nenana coal should, if pos sible, be used on the greater part of the railroad, rather than the higher grade Matanuska coal, be- cause the heavy freight traffic will be northbound, leaving southbound empties available for hauling coal. The Nenana coal field is nearer the summit of the Alaska range than any known coal south of the divide.
 Four men were recently arrested
