INVESTIGATION

Talk of congressional investigation,
in connection with the government
railroad, should not worry Alaskans.
When congress is convened in extra
session during the spring or early
summer. the Republicans will be in
control of both branches of the law
making body and Investigations,
probably will be the order of the
day. The session will afford the
Republicans an opportunity to air
some of the blunders made by the
Democrats during the progress Of
the war, and we may be sure the
party in power will make the most
OF it. Il will be the chance Of a
life time. The information gathered
will be used in an effort to con-
vince the American pubic that the
Democrats are not competent to
manage the affairs of the nation.
and as an argument in favor of
further strengthening the Republ-
can majority and electing a Repub-
lican president next year
But Alaskans should not worry.
The amount involved in the con-
struction of the government railroad
in this territory is a paltry sum by
comparison with sums expended On
war enterprises and the evidence
of alleged extravaganza in Alaska
is not sufficiently voluminous to at
tract especial attention. And there
is no evidence whatever of graft
in connection with the railroad
Therefore it reasonably may be
expected that the Republicans will
be too busy investigating the big
leaks of the nation to interfere with
our railroad, which already has been
subjected to several departmental
probes and special inquiries and to
at least one court investigation. The
money already expended in this
manner would easily suffice to carry
on the real work in this division
for another year, and any additional
sums voted by congress for invest
cation will be that much money
expended needlessly
In no case, however, would an
investigation be hurtful to Alaska.
There will be in congress. when the
lawmakers are called together again,
many new members unacquainted
with Alaska, and, if it would be
possible to induce a delegation of
them to make the trip to the territory
to see what has been done in the
way of railroad building. they would
return to Washington possessed of
information which doubtless would
enable them to legislate intelligently
on Alaskan questions. They would
learn, during their stay in the North
land, that federal aid. generously
extended at this time. would be re-
paid many times by the territory
within a short span of years. Il
would not be difficult to convince
them not only that the early COM
pletion of the railroad is necessary
to insure the development of In
terror resources. brt also that
branches and wagon roads are need
ed to open up districts tributary to
the main line.
1t would be a lot easier to con-
vince congressman of these needs
by showing them-by escorting them

FIRST SOLDIER
FROM CAMP DODGE
BACK IN NEANNA

Dong He Young, the first soldier
from the Nenana contingent who
had been at Camp Dodge, Iowa, to
return to Nenana arrived on the
train last night, having made the
journey from Seattle to Seward on
the Alameda, and from thence on
the trains Of the A E. c. and over
the Broad Pass trail. He expressed
himself as being tickled to death
to be back in Alaska once more.
Dong sports a silver stripe with
star also red stripe on his military
blouse; the former emblem indicat-
ing voluntary enlistment, and the
latter honorable discharge.
Dong, better known as Harry, was
at Camp Dodge with the rest of the
Alaskan contingent when the flu
was at its height He served three
months at this camp during which
time he was on hospital detail He
says that nurses at the rate of
about 500 a day kept coming into
the camp, until there were several
thousand of them there, many of
whom succumbed to the disease.
The nurses were pupils of three
different classes, army, Red Cross
and volunteer, and he is loud in his
praises of the noble work done by
them during the height of the cpl
demic. Harry did not get the flu,
and he attributes his immunity to
the fact that he was not a bit
scared of it. His comrades were dy-
ing daily, some of them almost
while he was ministering to them,
yet he felt no fear, he says. The
description given of the disease. of
the fatal type follows: the patient
first gets a fever, the temperature
rising to about 103 degrees or more,
when it subsidies pneumonia sets in
and the patient seems to suffer
greatly and get quite delirious;
shortly before death supervenes.
the patients lips, eyelids and
gums turn quite black, he says.
After serving three months at
Camp Dodge, he was transferred
to Camp Gr1nt, H.. where he OBJ
tanned most of his military training.
He speaks very well of army life.
but is glad to be out of the service
He was discharged February 9Th.
and Immediately left for the North
with the army travelling allowance of
SIS cents per mile. The command
ing officer told him that discharged
soldiers are entitled to special
rate on all steamship lines. and after
an eight-day stay in Seattle, on ap-
plication at the office of the Alaska
Steamship Co.. he was told that the
government rate to Seward would
be s34, but that it did not include
board and berth. The board. he
says, would have come to. about $50
and the berth at 81 a day would
have brought up the government
rate to somewhere in the neighbor-
hood of 500. The regular first class
civilian rate being only s54. includ-
ing berth and meals, he bought an
Ordinary first class ticket to Seward.
Everybody, he says, was talking
Alaska, and he predicts that the
population of the Northland will in
crease by about 10000 during the
coming season. He thinks that the
Alaskan merchants owe a deep debt
of gratitude to the soldiers. who

HOROSCOPE.
Thursday, January 2, 1919.

This is not an important day in
planetary government, according to
astrology. Neptune Is slightly ad-
verse, but the sway is not especially
significant
There is a sign read as indicating.
In the upheaval OF the world mind. a
period Of extreme uncertainty and
many contradictions in public opinion.
Criticism of ones fellow men, an
inclination TO question motives and
widespread jealousy are to be watched
for and carefully avoided during the
next few weeks.
Ambition Is one of the characteristics
that will be most strongly revealed
in the new year. 1t will affect both
men and women and may thwart some
great national movement
Labor comes under a rule of the
stars that foreshadows supreme op-
portunities for recognition and de-
yelopment Science applied to indus
try is to play an important part in
reconstruction.
During this sway there may be sin
lister influences at work to undermine
public confidence, but the seers de-
clare that 1919 will be a year of su-
preme activity in business and in all
llHtS Oh constructive human enuedNOT.
Danger on the sea has been foretold
for part of this month. Heavy storms
are prognosticated.
Women come under a government of
the stars that seems to forecast dis
content. disappointment and anxiety
in wage-earning matters.
Again religious difficulties and agita-
ton of questions that arouse i'll feeling
are presaged by the stars Prejudice
and Observation-Disclosures may be dis
seminated through some organized
movement against which serious warn
ing is given by the prophets of the

This should be rather a favorable
day for theatrical performances. The
week should be more profitable than
