WOMAN MUSTER AND MINER IS ON
 WAY TO OUTSIDE

Miss Nellie Cashman, who has been in Alaska for the past 34 years, and is well known among the old-timers, went South on the Alas kG last week.
 Miss Cashman has been identified with most of the stampedes in Alas ka and Yukon Territory, but is at present located in the Koyukuk where she has extensive mining holdings, At her home camp, Wise man, or Nolan, she is held in high esteem, being called "the mother of the camp" a title conferred upon Aer for her ministrations to those who are i'll and for kindly deeds she has done for those in distress.
 When Miss Cashman learned that the United States was engaged in the world war she made up her mind that as soon as she could ar range her business affairs she would leave for the States to offer her services to the Red Gross as a nurse. She started with dog team, and took five Swedes with her, whom she induced to enlist. Upon arrival at Tanana they learned that the war was over, and she turned her companions loose. but decided to continue her journey to the States for enjoyment's sake, and will re- turn to the North in the Spring.

ALASKA FISH AND GAME CLUB WILL
 GET 50,000 EGGS

Acting Commissioner of Fisheries N. r. Moore has directed that 50.000 Colorado trout eggs be forwarded to Juneau. This is the information con tained in a letter of December IA from the Acting Commissioner to Delegate Charles A. Sulzer. The let ter follows:
 Washington, Dec. 10 1918. Hon. Chas. A. Sulzer,
 House of Representatives
 Washington, D. c. Dear Sir:
 'In reply to your letter of Decem- Der 12, requesting that consign- ment of 100000 Colorado brook trout eggs be forwarded to the Alaska Fish and Game Club, of Juneau, Alaska, you are advised that the Bureaus s collection of brook trout eggs in the West this season have been less than half the numbers usually se- cured. This has compelled it to pur- chase large numbers of eggs from commercial dealers, and eyen with the purchased eggs the Bureau will not be able to fill all of it's applica- tions for brook trout fry and finger lings
 Flower, the Bureau recognizes the value of the efforts being made by the Alaska Fish and Game Club to improve fishing conditions in that re zion, and in view of this it will lend it's assistance to the extent of furnishing a consignment of 50,000 wild eggs from it's Colorado hatchery The matter has today been placed in the hands of the Superintendent of that hatchery who< will cores pond with Mr Sprague and arrange for the shipment at the proper time. "Very truly yours,
 (Signed) ''H F. MOORE,
 Acting Commissioner.

SCHOOL WORK TO
 BE IN SWING BY ] END OF THE WEEK
Intensive Work Will Be Done Wherever Possible
 to Recover the Lost Ground.

The Juneau Public Schools are again in session, after the enforced vacation during the influenza ban Absences throughout the school were not numerous Monday, although few children are still not strong enough to be in attendance. It IS expected that by the end of the week all pupils will be able to resume work, and that everything will go forward as usual.
 At an assembly in the Junior and Senior High Schools yesterday morn ing announcements were made re garding school work for the remain der of the year. No attempt will be made to lengthen the term of the school day, inasmuch as the time lost is greater than could be made up without interfering with the prompt opening of school in Septem ber Intensive work will be done wherever possible, in an effort to recover as much lost ground as may be. The same plan will be lollOWeu next year, anu uHtH dli requirements are covered.
 Higher institutions of learning are being consulted with regard to their policy toward this years High School graduates. It is presumed that, since High School graduates all over the United States will this year fall short of the usual stand ards. universities and colleges will be compelled to modify their require ments to meet the unusual situation. In the Junior High School this week, Mrs. IT. I. Lucas is substi- tuting for Miss Duncan, who will re- sume her work next week as Mrs. John D. Helps.

DENIES DEFICIT
IN US. RAILWAYS
Director General Hines
Claims Story of $780,
100000 Loss is False.

Director General Hines yesterday
branded as malicious propaganda re-
ports that the Federal Administration
of Railroads faces a $3.50. 900 900 deficit
in 1919 and that the government il
considering general freisht-rate in
creases.
He said:
There is no foundation for the re-
port that the Railroad Administration
has given or is giving any considera-
tion to any increase in the present
basis of rates.
THE results of operations for the
year will be largely dependent upon
the volume of traffic. If the volume
of traffic should be as large as last
year. it is believed the operating in
come would be sufficient to pay the
rental. AS soon as any reasonably
satisfactory conclusion as to the prob
able volume Of traffic can be formed
the public and Congress will be given
the best possible estimate Of the pros
poets for 1919"
Administration officials were unan-
imous i'm declaring that the railroad
situation in the United States, be-
cause of Federal control, was never
better than at the present time. This
conclusion is reached through the tab
ulation of various figures showing
costs OF operation and the extent OF
income before Federal control and
during periods when the railroads
were administered by Mr.. McAdoo.
These figures are SAID to be conclu-
sive evidence that no Judgment of
lasting value can be made upon the
question OF the value of Federal
ownership until the roads have been
conducted by the government for at
least FIVE years.
Efforts to estimate the earnings
and expenditures of the nations rail-
ways at this time is a task which
even our own experts cannot pretend
to do with accuracy. Certainly no
one can attempt to Justify many
statements which have been made
recently
The mystery at this time is the
identity of the group OF interests
or persons who are seeking TO arouse
distrust among the public of what a
conscientious bureau of government
employees is trying to accomplish.
This Is no time for efforts to stir
up distrust and unrest because OF
the efforts which the governmental
agencies are making toward stable
construction in this country"
The Washington herald., 1919-01-21
URGES WORKERS
TO ORGANIZE
Representative Nolan Says
Low Wages Result from
Lack of Action.

Declaring that lack of interest on
the part Of the Federal employees
themselves Is one Of the causes of the
Present low scale of wages, Repre-
Sentative John r. Nolan. speaking be-
fore the Monday Evening Club at the
Y. NJ. c. A last night, said If the
Federal employees will organize they
would command the respect of Con-
Eress and get what they want, name
ly, a living wage"
They are not sufficiently interested
in their own welfare" he said. 1T
is due mainly to the efforts of fellow
employees that the minimum wage bill
providing for an increase of $40, has
passed the House"
Mr.. Nolan said that there is not
much use in raising wages unless at
the same time something is done to
stabilize the cost OF living. He said
the S3-a-day minimum wage is not a
scientific method of-Combatting the
low-wage evil. He said that the bill
was proposed so that the man at the
bottom could get a living wage. He
cited the cases OF men in the govern
ment employ who were working for
$50 a month.
Stephen T. Cramer said that peo-
PIE SnOulQ DdCh up lne nice lnlnSs
they said about the teachers of the
District schools by doing something.
The following resolution was unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved. that the Monday Even
ing Club. an organization composed
OF nearly 200 social workers and per-
sons interested in social reform work.
only a few of whom are in government
employ, endorse the Johnson Nolan
Minimum Wage Bill and urge the
United States Senate to pass it not
only as an act of social justice to the
employees of the government. but also
because Of the influence such legisla-
tion would have in securing proper
Standards OF living in private employ
mCnts.
Resolved. that the Monday Even
ing Club offer its assistance in seCur-
ing the Passage of this Legislation
through committee representations at
hearings and in other appropriate
ways"
