MINERS MUST FILE
 DECLARATION SOON

The attention of The News has been called to the fact that the claim owners of the Nenana mining and recording district do not ap- pear to be aware of the necessity of filing claims for exemption from annual labor before the end of thc year. Commissioner R. s. McDon- aid is authority for the statement that very few declarations have been filed with him thus far, and he de- sires owners of claims to be warned that unless they comply with the law suspending annual labor, they will run the risk of losing their ground. Those who have not done the assessmen work ordinarily re- quirtd, and who desire to retain title to their holdings, must make the fact known in writing, properly filed. before December 31. Failure to do so constitutes a forfeiture of the ground so neglected.

WASHINGTON, D.

IL is claimed that a number of the opposition senators have accepted the new reservation plan that has been formulated, and 1t is confidently believed that the changes now suggested will be ap- proved by sufficient number to in sure ratification.

CHILD TRAINING
 IS HOOVER CURE
 FOR RAD|CAl|SM

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 29.-In an address delivered in this city yesterday, Herbert Hoover, former food administrator, expressed the be- lief that the whole problem of Am ericanization can be met in twenty years if the nation can begin now to grapple systematically with the child problem.
 The big needs, in Hoover's opin- ion, are proper conditions of birth education, and nutrition. The pres ent generation, he said. must begin now to prepare and train the com ing generation for the problems which now seem to threaten the na- ton. It is easier to train children properly. he argued, than to reform grown-ups, and therein lies the SC cret of future security for America.
 The problem is one. Hoover be- lieyes, that must be handled and solved by each community

DUTCH STEAMER COMES ID GRIEF
 0N EAST COAST

HALIFAX, N. S.. Dec. 29.-The Dutch steamship Anton Van Driel was wrecked yesterday west of Cape Race, with a loss of fully twenty lives. The disaster occurred when a heavy sea was running, preventing the rescue of the crew and leopard izing the lives of those who sought safety in the ships boats. Several of the boats which were launched never reached shore.
 Several vessels rushed to the aid of the Van Driel, but were unable to render assistance. They stood by, at a safe distance, and saw a number of members of the crew perish, after they had remained on the bridge for some time calling vainly for help. Several bodies have been washed ashore near St. Johns.

COAST PAPER CONFUSED;
 STORY KNOCKS RAILROAD

The following, taken from one of the coast papers, explains, possibly. why Outsiders are mis;nformed re- garding conditions in Alaska:
 Last week saw the completion of the railway between Fairbanks and Nenana, with the exception of d large steel bridge to be built to the latter city. The trains will cross on the ice this winter. About twenty five persons took advantage of the occasion to go to Fairbanks on the first coach. The fare to North Ne mana from Fairbanks has been fixed by the Commission at $43.75, in cluding war tax The trip consumed six hours and twenty minutes, ow- ing to the roughness of the road bed"
 As readers of The News are well aware, the fare between Nenana and Fairbanks is only S375, the trains do not cross on the ice, and the roadbed is smooth enough to enable trains to maintain regular sched- ule of four hours and a half, each way.
