PICNIC
 MUCH ENJOYED

AS guests of M. D. Snodgrass, mana ger of the government experimental farm, several auto loads of members of the Methodist church left Fair banks yesterday for that place to pass the day in picnicking. Conspicu- ous among the load were the lunch baskets and boxes, denoting that the day would be long one and no one would go hungry.
 Arriving at the farm, the visitors were shown around the premises and the different varieties of plants and agricultural specimens were pointed out and discoursed upon. Af- ter an inspection of the grounds many of the picnickers spent the re- maining hours in gathering a supply of blueberries. The return home was made during the evening and, while tht day was cool and somewhat chilly, none of the party felt dis comforted, agreeing that it was a profitable day.

MORE MATERIAL
 IS BROUGHT UP

The steamer Shusana arrived at Cinema yesterday noon with 110 tons of construction material for the rail road at this end. The shipment con sisted of rails, bolts, fish plates and spikes. After unloading this ship ment the boat will return immediate ly to Nenana for another load
 The A. E. c. is sending all ma terial possible to this end in order that an ample supply may be on hand when the actual tracklayins takes place. Although there may be some track laid this fall, the real work will not commence until sui ficient grade has been constructed to permit the working of a large crew Next fall should see Nenana and Fairbanks connected by rail
 At the Nenana end preparations are being made for some construc, tion work toward Fairbanks this winter. As soon as the freeZeup takes place one of the new narrow gauge engines which arrived lately from the Outside will be taken across the river and put to use in hauling supplies northward on that end.

COMMITTEE ON
 PRICES MEETS

Last evening in the office of the war board the committee appointed to investigate the prices on com modities in Fairbanks held another meeting at which all the members were present. In response to the re quest made to some of the leading dealers of the town to submit prices on certain listed articles, several lists were submitted to the commit. tee for consideration.
 While no definite statement will be made as to the findings of the committee at this date, complete announcement will be made at some future date when the figures have been compiled that will show wheth- CT excess prices prevail or not. Much statistical work is yet to be done before the percentage rate of charg- es will be determined.

The debate on the subject may be long and earnest, for it is matter of vital i'm portance to the nation. It is when called upon to decide these questions that congress is wise in taking plenty of time to consider every phase of the matter. Every condition that has any bearing on the situation should be thoroughly investigated, and thoughtfully considered
 Our legislative bodies at Washington are thoroughly alive to their responsibility, and will do all in their power to decide in such a way that the greatest good of all the nation will be obtained. It is up to them.

FOR
 WINTERS WORK

The terminal yards in Fairbanks are very active these days, judging from the amount of work that is being done there. Recently the tracks were gone over, new ties placed, new rails put where needed and the switches trued up.
 The latest move is the fixing up of two bunk cars and mess house for the use of the bridge crew. The bunk houses will have capacity of five men each, with ample space for sitting and working room during the time the men are not working, and will be well heated during the win ter. The mess car is well fitted up to accommodate the crew and has ample room for the purpose.
 With the fitting up of the car the bridge crew will be independent of any camps and will be close to the work at all times. the cals being moved along as tie steel is laid. With these preparations made this end will be ready when the spring rush comes.

ORGANIZATIONS
 ARE NOT SAME

Much annoyance has been caused in the past by the similarity of the organizations. Alaskan Engineering commission and Alaska Road commits sion, being confused by the public While the initials are somewhat sim liar, A. E. c. and A. R. C., there is no connection whatever between the two organizations.
 The Alaskan Engineering commis- sion is purely for the construction of the railroad, and anyone having business along the railroad line should consult with the officers of that commission. The Alaska Road commission has to do with the con- struction of trails and roads in AL aska, and to them should be directed inquiries concerning this phase of work.
 In the past it has been the prac- tice of those wishing to get in touch with Captain Zug or MT. Morrison to call at the headquarters of the A. E. c. on Garden Island, much to the annoyance of the employees there. AS a matter of fact the A. R. c. headquarters are in Valdez, although temporary office is main tained in Fairbanks in the old WA. bank building. Those having busi- ness with the respective commissions should bear in mind the distinction and the location of the two organiza- tions and apply to the proper place when seeking information or trans acting business.

Smith of Nenana turned in a sweater at Seattle headquarters which is de- scribed as "very fine sweater" by the superintendent of garments there.

MINE REPORTS
 SHOW DECREASE
 FOR LAST YEAR

In the report of the territorial mine inspector for the year 1917 a considerable decrease is noted in the production of gold in the Fairbanks district. Compared with the output of 1916 the decrease amounted to over $500,0O. The totals for the year were shown as follows:
 Placer ..................$1,2 ,219, ,096.36 Quartz ................ 43,773.23 Total output ..........$1 ,262, $685.
 The number of men employed in mining during the year 1917 was about 700, divided as follows: Placer, $50; lode mining, 150.
 The high cost of supplies is at tributed as the main cause of the decrease, many plants shutting down early in the season owing to that condition.
 The report showed that the total gold production of the Fairbanks dis trict for the past fifteen years was placed at $69,OOO,O0O, of which $6S,- 100000 was from placer mining alone The balance of the amount was de. rived from lode mining, which be- gan in 1910.
 The tabulated production from the various creeks for 1917 is as follows Cleary, Chatham, Wolfe. .$222, ,0S0. .26 Goldstream, Gilmore, En- gineer and Pedro ...... 3O0,259.71 Dome 139, ,1O4. .02 Little Eldorado ........... 33,999 OO Fairbanks ............... 146, 6,6O6O4 Vault and Treasure ....... 63,4O3.1 Big Eldorado, Smallwood
