PLAN REGULAR
 BOAT SERVICE FOR TAKU RIVER

Regular boat service between Ju- be an established fact within the
 next two or three weeks, when Capt.
 William A. Strong and A. II. Hum
 pheries expect to have their new
 river launch Nakina in service. The
 Nakina is now out of the hands of
 her builders, the Alaska Drydock and
 Manufacturing Company, and will be
 towned at once by the Inklin to Taku
 Harbor, where her engine will be in
 stalled. The 60horsepower gasoline
 engine of the steamer Cassiar will be
 used, as the Cassiar is out of service on account of it's extreme draft. The Nakina will draw only eight inches
 of water, and is fitted with universal joints for raising the propeller in shallow water
 The Nakina is fifty feet long and of thirteen-feet beam and will have accommodations for a dozen passen gers and eight tons of freight. Cap Strong and NIT. Humpheries say they expect to have their boat in com
 mission the early part of July. Cash Cole is the local agent for the new transportation company.
 The establishment of direct boat service to the Taku is the entering wedge in the development of trade
 relations between Juneau and the Taku River country The fact is be- coming more generally recognized that the Taku is the natural gateway to the AEin and Teslin districts in the interior of British Columbia, and Juneau is the natural outfitting point for the prospectors, miners and trap pers that go into that section. Naki na, the head of navigation on the Taku, is only 8 miles from Atlin and the topography of the country permits of easy wagon road construc tion.
 The interior is a workable big game paradise, and moose, bear and deer are plentiful. Chas. Goldstein, who expects to be a passenger on the firs | voyage of the Nakina, says he knows l of at least dozen hunters from tho I States who. plan to go into the Takl this fall. They will outfit in Juneau | Considerable prospecting will alst
 be done in that district this season

American army surgeons have ana

only 1,156 calories daily. A man doing
no work needs 770. and soldiers
should receive at least $500 calories

Senator Writes
Constituents That L. S.
Would Have to Join All
Conflicts i'm the Future

WASHINGTON, March u. The
Commercial Club, of Vancouver, Wash,
having adopted resolutions favoring
the league OF nations, condemning Sen
ator PoindcXter for opposing the league
and notifying hlm that unless he
changes his attitude he need not count
on any further support from that com
munity the Senator yesterday an
swcred with sharp letter in which,
after questioning whether the resolu-
tions represent the sentiment OF. the
community or even the majority of the
clubs own members, he says:
THE question, however, before the
Senate and the country at this time is
not league Of nations, but league
of nations for which the specific CON
stitution is an elaborate series of arti-
ccs which has been so ostentatiously
brought back BY the Presdcut
Il notice you refer to the winning of
the war by the united forces of ma
tons This union of free nations
which won the war against Germany
still exists, although. strange to say,
the President has down to the present
time refused to join the alliance, call
ing the United States mere associate
What ! desire to suggest, however,
is that this alliance and coalition
which have done so much to win the
war for the world will undoubtedly be
able to meet any demands to be made
upon it in the future in the way of
enforcing peace, as it is not at all
probable that in our time or in the
time Of our children any such attack
upon the peace of the world will be
made with such powerful force as that
recently made by Germany.
Would Be War League
u am also unable to understand,
since you take the liberty of express
ing your own views so aggressively.
and no doubt will consequently permit
me to have the liberty of expressing
mine in view of tl.e fact that the war
has been won and we are assured Of
peace Which NlCLtlY ULluEo ana winch
can be perpetuated by the entente of
the great free nations if we will only
Join t-why you propose to obligate
the United States to keep armies in
Europe Asia, Africa, as will be nee
essary under the proposed constltu-
ton of fanciful super government of
the world.
DO not call it peace league. It is
war league, piedging the United
States to participate in every war orig
mating in every part of the world. It
is void and Incapable of being given
effect.
DO not imagine tnat it will bring
peace Our people have fought for
Independence several times heretofore
and undoubtedly will do so again
should this contemplate world mill
tary despotism which you are advo-
eating be set up over US.
Senator Is Jubilant
Senator Poindexter also issued
statement tonight asserting that the
most refreshing news for the suffer
ing millions Of the world is the an
nouncement that definite preliminary
terms OF peace have been agreed upon
