The foregoing telegram tells the
biggest story that has come to the
west coast for a long time. It is the
victorious ending of a long fight to
get a square deal for this section of
Florida. 1t means great things for
the west coast and its winter tourist
travel. 1t will be big thing this
winter, since Mr.. Winchell announces
that the through trains will be put on
December Is, in time to handle our
big season travel.
That st. Petersburg will give Mr..
Winchell the cooperation asked for in
making this routing a success goes
without saying. Secretary Whitney,
of the board of trade. is alreadu. ar
pie down the west coast by trains to
st. Petersburg, without the long rout-
ing and delays incident to the Jack
sonville route. 1t is up to us to make
good, and Mr.. Winchell may rest as
sured that we will do it.
The big credit for this Wonderful
achievement is due Mr.. E. M. Backus,
who originated the movement and has
pushed it unfalteringly without re-
gard to expense to himself. st. Pc

In commenting upon the securing
Of the west coast route, the Tampa
Tribune this morning makes the fol-
lowing remarks:
1.-THE granting of the through pass
enger car service gives distinct VIC
tory to this section, which has long
been contending against the previous
roundabout way via Jacksonville,
causing great loss of time and extra
expense in making trips between
Tampa and the north and west. The
new route is almost a straight line be-
tween Tampa and Atlanta and will be
2 great convenience to travellers from
Ohio. Indiana, Michigan. and other
states of that group which furnish the
principal portion of the tourist throng
visiting this section.
"The fight for this short line service
has been waged consistently for sew
eral years, but was without success as
a,a-e- ssvyxzp4-
ment took over the railways hope be-
gan to be felt that the public conven-
ience and the needs of the nation
would be consulted and that less at
tention would be paid to selfish inter-
ests. The fight was renewed and the
results are seen for themselves.
Freight service has been operated
via the western short line for some
months because of the congested con-
dition of the Jacksonville terminols."
The evening leader., 1918-11-27

tersburg owes him a great debt of
gratitude.
The next man locally to whom credit
is due is Secretary Whitney, who has
worked with Mr.. Backus unfaltering-
ly for many months. He has Travelled
all over the state from here to the
northern line many times and has
never slept on the job.
The west coast routing has been op-
posed by the railroad men almost
without exception, and by the Jack.
sonville people strongly. But the
movement originated in st. Peters
burg and growing to represent two
thirds of the people of Florida, has
won out. Hence we rejoice!

ton. Mr.. Gross told how at the last
legislature the threshers had succeed
ed in getting a bill through that re-
uuired bridges to be constructed

TOWN IS GIVEN
 TIME EXTENSION
 FOR WORK DONE
Chairman Edes Authorizes Extension of Payments Over Period of
 Three Years.

At the earnest solicitation of the
 Nenana Commercial club, Chairman
 Edes, of the Alaskan Engineering commission, and Andrew Christen- sen, manager of the Land and In- dustrial department, have granted the owners of property in Nenana an extension of time for the pay ment of sidewalk and grading work. This welcome news came to Town site Manager Fred S. Ryus in a telegram received from Manager Christensen late yesterday, the wire informing the mayor that favorable action had been taken on the letter forwarded by the Commercial club under date of April IT, after a con- ference with Chairman Edes. The payments on sidewalk and grading work, MT. Christensen says, may be extended over a period of three years, payable in three equal annual payments.
 The regulations, which the club sought to have modified, provide that assessments for sidewalks be made in two installments within a period of one year and that the cost of grading be paid by property own CTS in one payment. The club asked to have the payments for these and other items of townsite expense ex- tended over a period of four years, but three years evidently is the limit to which the Commission will go. That will bring all the pay ments in at about the time the town is turned over to the people by the Commission.
 No action was taken on the other requests of the club, but that these othere matters have not been fin ally disposed of by Chairman Edes is indicated by the fact that Mir. Christensen asked for certain addi- tional information regarding Ne nana's water and sewer system.
 These matters were presented to Manager Christensen by the Com mercial club in an able manner, the letter having been published in full in the columns of the News at the time the letter was forwarded to Anchorage. And to the club should be given full credit for tightening the burden of property owners. The letter was drafted by Secretary H. B. Joseph. The action of the club received the endorsemnt of Town si Manager Ryus and the appeal received the strong support of Mir Christensen, who took the matter up with Chairman Edes.

TUBERCULOSIS FIGHTERS
Join WITH RED CROSS

Fifteen hundred anti-tuberculosis
associations in every state in the
Union have set aside their ordinary
work and are giving their time and
attention during the next month 10
the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call.
according to an announcement from
the headquarters Of the National Tu-
berculosis Association.
Instead OF the usual sale OF Red
Cross Seals which has been conducted
for the last ten years jointly by the
National tuberculosis Association and
the American Red Cross, this coming
year the tuberculosis movement will
be supported by direct appropriation
of S2500.0O0 from the Red Cross, and
in turn all of the machinery OF the
tuberculosis campaign will be turned
into helping swell the membership OF
the American Red Cross in an effort
TO enroll every man and woman in the
country.
In every state there is a we'll or
ganized state organization and under
II there are strong local branches.
These trained workers will cooperate
with the Red Cross chapters in their
community and will endeavor to or
gasize their districts so that no one
can escape solicitation. Universal
membership in tho Pod Crosc will ha
the aim.
