MUCH TOBACCO PLANNED
FOR IN THIS COUNTY

A few days ago in the Cincinnati
Enquirer there appeared an interview
with a prominent Bracken county to-
bacco man in which he claimed to have
said that the tobacco crop in the Bur-
ley belt this year would be short This
tobacco dealer evidently had not made
much investigation in this section of
the belt for there are probably more
tobacco beds prepared in this county
this spring than ever before.

associates hoped to be able to open
up a new mine which will produce
coal in greater quantity and of bet
ter quality.
Robert Joseph Diven was next on
the list, and, as usual, created 4
very favorable impression with his
remarks. He said he was glad the
visitors had come to Alaska, and
felt sure they had been impressed
by the problems confronting the In
terror country-how to get fuel and
how to distribute it, and overcome
the many other handicaps under
which the territory is laboring at
present
/ The big needs of the country, he
pointed out, include education and
homes, and he expressed the hope
that the time would soon arrive
when the territory would be in a
position to invite settlers and to
offer them something substantial for
coming.
Attention was called to the fact
j that Nenana has one of the best
schools in the territory. and the
only self-supporting Anglican church
in the North.
| President Mcdonald called atten-
ton to the great need of roads
Throughout the country, feeders for
! the railroad, and good wagon roads
to tap districts now without ade-
ouate means of transportation. He
cited several instances of road build
ing in the Interior to show the value
of such work as means of re-
ducing the cost of mining opera
tions.
| Attention also was called to the
fact that Alaska's principal crop
gold. with a fixed value-has been
hard hit by the high cost of pro-
visions and mining supplies of all
kinds. The cost of production, he
pointed out, is now almost prohib-
tive, even in the more favored
! localities, and he suggested that the
only relief, substantial relief, lay
in a revision of the gold standard
or the granting of a bonus to gold
miners.

Leave for Fairbanks.

Colonel Mears and his travelling
companions left for Fairbanks this
morning, by way of the railroad.
They were taken to the end of
steel by train, where a wagon await
ed them to take them to the end
of steel on the Fairbanks end. They
expect to reach the upper town
tonight.
After a brief stay there. Mr..
Hallowell and DR.. Brooks will re-
turn TO the coast by way of the
Richardson trail, and Colonel Mears
will return to Nenana and go back
TO Anchorage by way of Broad Pass.

seas, and it was pointed out that
the foundation for the success in
France was laid here in Alaska,
while Colonel Mears was a member
of the Alaskan Engineering COM
mission, under Colonel Edes.
Referring to the third member of
the party, Mr.. Hallowell said that
Alfred Brooks loved Alaska and
Alaskans loved him. He had found
that out since the party had started
on the long journey to the North
land.
He spoke in glowing terms OF
Secretary Lane and lamented the
fact that the secretary had been
born in Canada instead of in the
United States. Otherwise, he said,
/ he might be a candidate for the
presidency at the next election, and
most acceptable and worthy one.
The secretary, Mr.. Hallowell con-
tinued, breaches Americanism and
faith and team work. He wants
team work in Alaska, and it was
fer that reason that he had pre-
vailed upon the speaker to make
the trip North, to see the country
over which the interior department
has much jurisdiction, and to learn
frst-hand the aids most needed to
put the territory on permanent,
prosperous footing.
| Mr.. Hallowell said that it was
impossible for one at the national
capital to realize conditions in Alas
ka. He had been inspired by what
he had seen, and was glad to be
identified with the solution of the
many problems confronting the
North.
He spoke in terms of enthusiasm
of the proposal, put forward by
President Mcdonald, to organize q
central chamber of commerce, rep
resentative Of the various sections
of the territory 1t is a good idea.
he said, and ought to be good for
all kinds of development plans. And
he expressed the hope that Nenana
would push the idea so as TO insure
adequate backing for all undertak-
ings in the future.
{ Secretary Lane, he said, had
asked him to express his regret at
not being able TO visit the terri
tory. The speaker promised, how
ever, TO do the best he could for
Alaska upon his return to Washing
ton. He would try to make the
/ United States appreciate all that
Alaska has done, in the way o.
contributing to the nations wealth
and to the various war funds.
! The war helped Alaska tremeni-
ously, he said, in the way Of si~ing
the territory desirable publicity, but
he admitted that he had eneoun-
tered many with slight knowledge
regarding the country. The ;gnor-
ance, ne said, is almost supreme.
! Ii was pointed out by Mr.. Halo
well that the territory, which had
cost the United States about two
cents an acre in 1867, had pro-
duced since that time over a billion
and a quarter, ninety millions hav-
/ ing been added to the wealth of
! the nation during the past year.
Mr.. Hallowell said that he had
brought a message of greeting from
Governor Riggs to the people of
Interior Alaska. The governor met
the party at juneau and accom-
panied them as far as Anchorage.
He wanted to come over the trail,
but the death of Surveyor-General
Davidson had left matters in a con-
fused state at Juneau and he could
not absent himself from the capital
i longer.

fore the lawmakers. and which we
expect to have passed during the
coming winter"
( Questioned as to his policy re-
garding construction - whether he
would favor continuing the work
from both ends. as has been done
heretofore, or combining construction
activities to the coast end, working
toward the Interior, Colonel Mears
said that he could not answer the
question, for the reason that he had
not vet conferred with Mr.. Browne.
Several things would have to be
taken into consideration, he ex-
planned. before definite plans could
be outlined.
He did commit himself. however,
on the proposition of extending the
track toward the south, so as TO
make possible the development of
promising coal lodges several miles
beyond the present end of steel,
south Of Nenana. He said it would
be the policy of the commission to
do everything possible to help de-
velop the country, and if an ex-
tension of track toward the south
should be found necessary to insure
an adequate fuel supply for In
terror Alaska during the coming win
ter, ne would give his endorsement
to the plan.
1t was pointed out that, in the
past, it had been the practice of the
commission TO exceed the annual ap-
%popriation, always with the assur-
ance that Congress would provide
additional funds to carry On the
work the following year. That was
a safe enough practice, said the
chairman, so long as the commits
sion did not exceed the s35,000,000
limit But now that the full amount
has been appropriated, it will not
be possible for the commission TO
overstep the mark. Obligations may
no. be incurred for single penny
beyond the limited fixed by the
original railroad bill, unless provi-
b sion for the completion of the road
should be made before the present
funds are exhausted
Colonel Mears said that he had
come TO Nenana TO check up on the
work so as to make sure that ex-
penditures and obligations are kept
within bounds.
Regarding the progress Of coal
mining in the Matanuska field, Col
onel Mears said that ne had found
the outlook much more encouraging
upon his return to Alaska than
when he left Anchorage 10 Join the
army. The Eska mine, which is
being developed for the commission

Smith, is showing up better now.
with a large body Of coal blocked
out and indications that considerable
more will be encountered.
The chairman evidenced much in
terest in local fuel needs and ap-
peared disposed to assist in hasten
ing development of coal Lodges in
the Ignite field, inrimating that
when the coal fields and Fairbanks
had been joined by rail, the com
mission would have removed one
of the chief obstacles in the way of

Or" Alfred Brooks.
When the presiding officer at
tempted to introduce the next speak
er as Colonel" Brooks, that old
Isourdough objected strenuously. He
said that he had left his war title
behind him when he had discarded
his uniform, after returning to the
United States from Europe. And
besides. he explained, he preferred
the title of Dr." bestowed upon
him during his first voyage up the
Tanana river, and rightfully, too,
he averred, because of the fact
that he was the first pacticing ply
lsician to visit Interior Alaska By
way of explanation, he said that
he had come to Alaska in the early
days, like the thousands of STAN
ipeders who rushed TO Dawson,
equipped with one of those little
medicine boxes" which the Out
side statesmen insisted upon attach
ing to every outfit sold to gold
seekes. If was of no use until
!, the geologist reached the Tanana
valley. where he found the natives
much in need of medicine And
he proceeded TO treat them as best
he could with his available and
assorted supply of medicines, there
by winning the title of Dr." which
has chung to him throughout all the
years he has spent in the North.
| He spoke Of the growth of Ne
mana since his first visit to the
town. Then, as now, he recalled,
ne was greeted and entertained by
the commercial club, but in the p
years that have interviewed, the GEM
plexion of the members has changed
somewhat, and the manner of en-
itertainment.
DR.. Brooks spoke in terms Of
confidence of the return of Colonel
/ Mears to Alaska, and of his ability
to complete the project in the
shortest time possible.
He said that he had formulated
no plans for the future, beyond
spending as much Of his time as
possible in Alaska, and he hoped

affairs. The question was presented
/ in a forceful, concise manner, and
at the conclusion of the meeting

well gave the assurance that they
would give the matters complained

r. G. Southworth, of The News,
urged the early completion Of the

railroad to the coast as the only
adequate means Of relieving existing
conditions in Interior Alaska. Tap
ping the coal fields, he pointed out,
would not cut transportation costs
/ between Interior points and the
coast, the great burden under which
Alaskans have long struggled.
Attention also was called to the
need of a central power plant as a
means of cutting mining costs
through the introduction of cheap
power.
In conclusion, Mr.. Southworth
asked Colonel Mears to make clear
his position as regards future con-

The guests of the club were as

John ". Hallowell, assistant sec

Alaska as the special representa-

next speaker. He said that Colonel

the purpose of completing the rail-
road, and he believed that his ex-
perience in France, at the head Of

be of much value to him and to
