GOOD PROSPECT
 IN NEW CREEK

Writing to Wm. Casey from the Kantishna, J. c. Van Orsdel, who located there last summer, says tie Fairbanks Citizen, is very op- tImistic regarding the outlook .'or the camps future. In part ne says:
 "We have been out here now al most six months, and, while we have not gotten a great deal cone, We feel nightly encouraged. We have great campaign mapped out for this summer, and We feel sure that we will have a full report in what We have here before the freezeup next fail. This is certainly a very rich country, and We feel that 1t will surely come into it's own very shortly. Of course, 1t is impossible to operate and work this ground successfully until We get provisions and supplies in at g. cheaper figure. The cost of bringing in supplies by the river is out Of reason, and we must work to get a wagon road Ifrom the railroad, a distance of some sixty miles. We hope you people there in Nenana are all ag!tating the matter. We have had word from Washington that they had established a post office here and appointed me as postmaster but as yet we have no carrier ser vice. and of course that is really the most important part of all. The post office means nothing with out service, and when they com mence getting bids for carrying the mail-I am sure the government will never stand for it, under the present conditions. So the only thing for Us to do is to work and work hard for the wagon road iron Lignite, then by fall We may hope for a mail route.
 "We feel that our chance to put big thing through is in this Kan tishna country, and We expect to stay with this proposition until the last. We are sure there is a for tune in this country for us, and we are working to that end.
 "A. l.. and J. c. VAN ORSDEL."

HbLF FARE. ASKED FUR ALL FARM
 LABORERS

Washington, May 21.-The De pertinent of Labor, after consulta' tion with the Department of Agri' culture, has asked the Director General of Railroads to grant hali fares to agricultural workers mo- bilized for 'distibution by the United States Employment Service, with the cooperation ofsthe latter de partment's field force. Only thru cheaper transportation, 1t is be- lieved, can the farmers of the country be supplied with the maxi mum labor available for agriculture
 It is estimated that while the proposed fare reduction might cost the railroads about $1,600,- 900, or 10 times that sum, through the freight returns on the addi- tional fOOdstuftS produced Uy these extra farm workers.
 At least 80 per cent of the stu Geints in the mems colleges and universities of the country will engage in farm or other war pro duction work duing the coming summer vacation period. This is tndicster in the replies being re- ceived by the Department to it's plan for placing college students on farms. At Dartmouth, for instance only 8 out of 800 students queried stated that they would not be in some productive service this sum mer.
