cent initials ~. S. with identifying
numbers. That will be visible proof
that our railroads, for the present
at least, have been really national
lied. These ~. S. locomotives
will not be owned by the govern
ment, however, but by all the rail
roads jointly.
Another significant thing, perhaps
the most important of all, is that
they mark the beginning OF stand
ardization. The locomotives order
ed are said to consist OF six newly
developed standard types, intended
ultimately to replace many times
that number of types. Heretofore,
every big railroad has had 4 pen
chant for designing its own engines.
Standardization, of course, will
mean a great saving in manufacture
and repairing.
The administration is introducing
the same principle into the produc-
ton Of freight cars, OF which lOOOO0
have recently been ordered, and eX-
poets to make big gain in sim
plicity and efficiency in all kinds OF
rolling stock.

Rumania are equivalent TO an IN

opinion of the German eXprrts, so
Dir. Won kuehlmann, the German
foreign secretary, told the Berlin
chamber of commerce in his recent
speeches. in which he discussed the
Rumanian treaty before that body
the German wireless report OF the
address shows.
Germany's control OF the coming
Rumanian harvests caused the 1000
question to be looked forward TO
with a certain amount OF con1i-
dence,' DR.. Won Kuehlmann de-
clared. German trade privileges
also were most important and these
included the lease to German
company for 90 years OF the Bucha-
rest -Czernavoda- Constanza railway
line, thus giving ready access to the
petroleum fields and grain centers.
Referring to the geographical SIT
uation which eliminated the ques-
ton of territorial acquisitions, Dr.
Won Huehlmann said therefore II

PRISONERS PAY.

War prisoners nowadays are SUP
posed to be paid wages which IS
ia;r enough seeing that they are
generally forced to work ior their
captors. Germany and the United
States are now engaged in a con
trover,v a, to how much their
respective prisoner, shall receive.
Germany proposes to pay her
american prisoner, the same wages
she paws her own soldiers. That IN
t,elf might seem fair enough But
Germany also demands that We pay
our German prisoners the same
wages We pay our own soldiers. And
inasmuch as our private soldier, get
about a dollar a day while Ger
many, get ten cents a day. the
one-sidedness Of Germany propos-
al is obvious.
If accepted. it would mean that
our men. when captured and put 10
work bv the enemy, would receive
only one-tenth a, much pay As they
are accustomed TO. while the TIER
mans captured by our troops would
receive ten times a. mach a. they
are accustomed to. and the food
and lodging provided Tor prisoners
in this country are OF course mucl'
superior TO Germany.

PRINCELY CONDUCT.

A recent dispatch from Geneva,
Switzerland, conveyed the informa-
ton that the German crown prince
himself had fired several shots from
the big gun which is bombarding
Paris from the Gobain forest.
simultaneously a dispatch from
Paris announced that in the morn
ing's bombardments three women
were injured.
When these two news items have
been put together, any comment IS
superfluous. The facts speak Tor
themselves. The achievement is not
exactly a "princely' one, as we un-
derstand the term in America. But
it is about what we have come TO
expect from the German crown
prince.

Dublin, May 23,-(Thursday).--
Michael Lennon, who was arrested

the Sim Feiners' little weekly pa

participation in the rebellion OF l9lo
and since his release under amnesty
has been imprisoned charged with
making seditious speeches.
Lennon was one OF the men eX-

Saturday. His arrest indicates that
the government is familiar not only
with the Sim Fein leaders, but also
w.h their substitutes, and will take
precautions accordingly. Five more

COAST MINES ARE
READY TO PRODUCE

According to word received in
Seward, two Alaska coal mines at
least will be adding fuel to the
worlds supply during 1918. The
mines now being extended by the
government in the Matanuska dis
trict during the coming summer will,
it is expected, not only produce coal
sufficient for the use of the rail
road but will become a shipper to
other section of Alaska and even 10
the States.
1t is also expected that one or
more mines will be operating in the
Chickaloon district, where the gov
eminent work is under the direc-
ton of Sumner E. Smith, an engin-
eer of the bureau of mines. The
Moose creek mine in the same dis
trict is producing fifty tons per
day and further development work
is under way by the government.
The Katalla Anthracite Coal COM
pany has opened mine in the Ber-
ing river fields, and has reached a
stage where shipments of 200 tons
day can be made as soon as the
railroad from the mines to tide
water is completed. The railroad,
which is twenty miles long, is nearly
completed, as are the docks and
bunkers located on Controller Bay.
The coal, which has been tested by
the government, has been declared
to be equal to that of the Pennsyl-
vania fields.
Every effort will be put forth by
the government and private owners
of coal mines already opened up to
produce tonnage as rapidly as pos
sible to relieve any coal shortage
that may occur on the Pacific coast
during the war.

morning on the bank of the Skagit
river. The mans throat was cut
and in one of the hand was gripped
keen-edged knife, indicating to
the satisfaction of the local authori-
ties that Laubner committed suicide.
Investigation shows that the man
lost three hundred dollars recently
gambling, following which he began
drinking heavily. He was interested

Gals of the company admit the re-

that the big liner was able to make

whether or not there was loss of
life.

WALTER LOVE ENLISTS
IN u. S. COAST ARTILLERY

In letter recently received from

ment in the United States army.
Mr.. Love writes that he has joined
Battery No. 8, of the Coast Artillery
and expects to leave Immediately
for several months work in the

sent to France.
Walter Love was registered in

the branch of the service he pre-
ferred to work with, and was sue
cessful at Fort Mcdowell, California.
where he has been stationed, pre-

FOUR-MINUTE MAN
MAKES STRONG TALK

The speech made at the Coliseum
theatere last evening by Four
Minute Man E. L. Laughlin, was we'll
received by the large audience.
Mr.. Laughlin very forcibly brought
out the point that the statements
made by the authorities in the United
States at the beginning of the war,
that we were at war with Germany,
but not at war with the German
people, were all wrong. His con-
tention was that the German people
were backing up the war party in
Germany and that the nation of Ger
many was the German people and
nothing else. For that reason, Mr..
Laughlin stated, we were at war
with the Germans singularly as we'll
as collectively.

NEW PRESIDENT
FOR LABOR UNION
Frank Murphy Chosen AS President
of the Local Organization
Saturday Night.

With nearly one hundred members
in attendance, the Nenana Labor
union held a record meeting last
Saturday night for the purpose of
electing a new head of the organi-
cation.
Two candidates were nominated
for the office of president, Ben
Estby and Frank Murphy, but Mr..
Estby declined to run and withdrew
his nomination in favor of his OPP
ponent, Mr.. Frank Murphy, who was
elected unanimously.
Mr.. Murphy is on the electrical
staff of the Alaskan Engineering
commission and will undoubtedly
fill the position of president in an
able manner.
The matter of affiliation with the
American Federation of Labor was
taken up by the members and the
communication from Samuel Com
pers was read. Mr.. Gompers wrote
that the Nenana Labor union could
affiliate with the American Fedora
ton of labor and is sending the in
structions and charter for that pur-
pose. The instructions should ar
rive in few weeks time, and as
soon after they arrive as is possible,
the local union will affiliate.
A very gratifying report was re-
ceived on the hall, which has been
in use for some purpose nearly
every evening.
The next meeting of the union
will be held on Saturday evening,
at the usual hour.

APPROPRIATIONS OF
LAST CONGRESS

The last United States congress
appropriated twenty-one billion dol
lars. One can better appreciate
what twenty-one billion dollars is if
one pauses to think that the total
of expenditures of this government
from the year 1871 to January /,
1917, covering period of one hun
dred and twenty-six years ,includ-
ing the cost of our past wars and
every other item of government ex-
pense, was only a little more than
twenty-six billion dollars-but five
billions more than was appropriated
by the last congress alone.

CAP GRIFFITH RETURNS
FROM PROSPECTING TRIP

Cap Griffith, well known pioneer
and prospector, arrived last evening
from an extended trip to the out
lying mining districts, near Mount
Mckinley and the summit region.
He was accompanied by Fred
Zachow.
In speaking of the prospects
around the various creeks in the
region, he states that there has been
nothing found by anyone of the
boys out there to warrant any strike
or excitment.
The weather experienced was so
stormy that for the greater part of
the trip they were unable to put
up tent and were forced to siwash
it as best they could and let the
dogs take care of themselves.
There has been much travel over
the Broad Pass trail this winter, and
Cap. Griffiths says that several of
the parties were held up for several
days at time in the various camps
and roadhouses on account of the
storms, it being absolutely impos-
sible to mush in such weather.
The body of the man who left
Nenana last winter has not been
found yet. The authorities at An
chorage have heard nothing about
him and it is conceded that he has
persisted on the trail somewhere near
the Summit roadhous, as he has not
been seen or heard from since his de-
parture from Sullivans.
Another man was found near the
Williams roadhouse and was taken
to the Indian river station for treat
ment. He was partially demented
and most of his dogs were missing.
Judge A. F. Stowe, in charge of the
station, took care of him, but he
had been so long without food and
in weakened condition, that when
he forced himself to eat much more
food than was good for him, he was
taken seriously i'll. He survived
only three weeks after his arrival
at the post, when he died His body
was buried at the Kalteetna GENET
cry. 1t is understood that the au-
thorities have been in communica-
ton with his folk, who reside in the
East. Cap Griffith could not learn
the mans name.
Mr.. Griffith met many oldtimers
on the trip, and all seem to be doing
we'll.
Jim Sherlock, formerly of Fair
banks, has left the Kalteetna dis
trict for the Good News Bay strike.
Jack Ferguson, another Fairbanks
man, is working in the Kalteetna
region.
Electric Light" Williams, for
merly in the power business in Daw-
son, and later around Tanana, is
running the Williams roadhouse at
Indian river, and has done we'll this
winter.
