(From Fairbanks News Miner) Just to remind him that we are still his friend, earnestly seeking after in- formation about the things that be or seem to be in connection with rail road threats or promises, the News Miner is opening up one-sided cor respondence with Commissioner Mears of the Alaska Railroad at Anchorage. We send him every story regarding his railroad, write him personal letters and do our part although we have as yet received no answers. Yesterday we sent him the following wire, and are awaiting the answer:
 Fairbanks, Dec. 7, 1919. Commissioner Mears, Anchorage.
 Your Railroad Record says we have rail connection Nenana and coal. You promised us this. Woodmen took it as threat and now we have no coal and are short of wood. We're told the rail will not be laid across ice without guarantee to pay and we don't even know that Nenana has coal or that it will burn although we want to be- lieve and would buy if coal is good. So far your promise has been a detri- ment to us and now becomes threat 'o our welfare. Whats the answer? Freight here to Nenana town fifty miles, now about forty-seven dollars ton. Seems high enough.

DEER MOLESTRICHLAND FARMS
So Numerous That They Eat and
Trample Field Products

Many farmers of Richland county
are wondering what is going to be
done about the deer, which are becom-
ing so numerous that they are a real
nuisance, says the Richland Democrat
In the south part of the county their
visits to fields are so frequent that
farmers must take daily care of their
crops in order to avoid damaging de-
predations. Within the past ten days
one farmer of Orion husked out four
teen shocks of corn and as he com
pleted his task late in the evening,
he of necessity left the corn in piles
in the field. In the morning he found
that the herd of deer had either eaten
or trampled into the ground the entire
savings of those fourteen shocks And
like many others he wonders what is
to be-done about il. Will the conser-
walton commission of the state send
out or delegate one or two persons to
shoot a few of these animals and take
the carcasses to Madison or Milwau-
kee and sell the meat for the benefit
Of those who have the money and can
pay fancy price? Or viii these pro-
tected nuisances be allowed to CON
tinue their depredations until in sheer
desperation every farmer in the fire.
quented district becomes a law-break-
er in self defense.

SUPPLIES HELD UP,
GOETHALS DECLARES
Lack of Unity and oo-ordina-
ton Attacked by Former
Army officer

! Washington, July 2.--Major Genera
George W. Goethals, formerly chief OF
the War Department Bureau of Pur
chase. Storage and Traffic, told the spe
cial House war investigating committee
yesterday that lack of unity and coop
Grafton between departmental bureaus
resulted in unnecessary expense and de
lay in obtaining supplies needed for the
prosecution of the war.
General Goethals said that when he
was placed in charge of the quarter
master corps in December, 1917, he rec
olnmended to the secretary of War that
a minister of munitions be appointed to
control all purchases. but the secre-
tary disapproved the plan.
General Goethals said he then recon-
mended consolidation of purchasing
through the creation of a central bureau
but that other bureau chiefs opposed
the plan because II would rob them of
authority. 1t was put in operation
however, when General March became
chief of staff.
General Goethals expressed vigorous
onposition to the cost plus" contract
system and also to the policy of allow
ing men interested in an industry to
fix prices at which contracts were made.
