eminent with moderation and con-
seryatism and that it will not be his

A COUNTRY EDITOR NOMINATED
FOR PRESIDENT

We have had as occupants of the
White House all classes and cond1-
tions of American citizens:
Farmers, surveyors, soldiers. preach
ers, rail splitters, tailors, tanners. law
yers, and school teachers. and now an
all-round country printer and news
paper.editor has received the nomf
nation of one of the great parties to
become the head of the nation.
On the 10th ballot Hon. Warren G.
Harding received the nomination for
president of the United States by the
republican convention sitting at Chi.
cago.
Senator Harding was Dorn in Bloom
ing Grove, Marrow county, Ohio,
November 2, 1865. He was twice
elected to the general assembly of
Ohio; was once elected a member Of
the state senate; he was lieutenant
governor of the state in 1904-5 but
was defeated for governor by Judson
Harmon. democrat. by 100000 major
ity
He was elected to the United States
senate November 3, 1914.
In his youth, Warren Harding lived
the life of farmer boy, attending the
village school until Ia years of age,
when he entered Ohio Central college
of Iberia, from which he was gradual

stance of the senate from 242 to 1872.
Forty-four new members were add
ed after the 1910 census, making the
present membership 435. The in
crease in population indicated by the
census returns thus far computed, it
is estimated, will require the add
ton of SO members from SO states if
the present figures of 211.43O resi-
dents for each congressional district
ere retained. This increase would
bring the total membership of the
House up to 504.
1t can be taken for granted that
the decision will be in favor of an
enlarged membership; revolutions do
not go backward. you know.
And yet-and yet it is a fact that
the business of the House OF repre-
sentatives could be carried on just as
efficiently, and perhaps more so, with
one-half the number.
This thing of enlarging the govern
mental establishment seems to be in
herent in democracy the same as in
sn autocracy, and it bodies no good
for the liberties of the people.
Florida has four representatives in
the lower house of congress at Wash
ington while two could do the work
just as well and the same is true of
all the states.
When body is too large it becomes
unwieldly.
Then our state courts could be- re-
duced nearly if not quite one half
without interfering with the speedy
administration of justice especially as
prohibition is such a valuabIo aid
One can well remember that it was
claimed that we could do away with
the courts if prohibition prevailed.
We think it high time that the con
gress and the legislatures of the states
should legislate in favor of the tax
payers.

WINTER MEAT IS VERY PLENTIFUL
 IN UPPER TOWN

The unprecedented run of caribou in the vicinity of the creeks ad- jacent to Fairbanks is still on. From accounts of recent arrivals from the upper town, hunters are leaving town in autos, wagons, and afoot daily, invariably returning with the limit bag. Almost every home in Fairbanks is now said to be well stocked with fresh meat for use during the coming winter.
 Thousands of the animals are moving along in a very leisurely manner, affording an easy chance for even the poorest shot to get all the meat he may need. The run covers large territory extending from near Fox to the south bank of the Chatanika river. Besides the hunters of the town, those who are interested only in viewing this rare sight are out in force, and Fair banks presents a deserted appear ance of Sunday morning, the con- gregations at the morning services in the various churches being said to be composed of. just handful of worshipers.
 No accurate estimate of the num- Der of animals in the run" can, of course, be made, but even to the most casual observer it must be ap- parent that it is composed of a great many thousand caribou. Half a million animals, it is thought by some, would be a conservative esti- mate.
 Many visitors from Nenana and other places have been attracted by the fame of the run" and have had an opportunity to see groups of the animals at various points along the railroad.
 Mondays train to Chatanika had to stop for while to let band of caribou get across the track a short distance beyond Gilmore, and some of the passengers bagged five of them ere they could away to the safety of the timber above the track

YOUNG ENGINEER WEDS
 QUIETLY IN FAIRBANKS

L. F. Nash, acting resident en- gineer with the A. E. C., stationed at Fairbanks, was married there on September 12 to Mrs. Anna McCar- ty. The ceremony was performed by U. s. Commissioner Reed Heilig, the witnesses being H. c. Hansen ! and George Nielsen.
 The wedding was a quiet affair and was kept quiet for some time, but when the news leaked out the young couple were the recipients of the felicitations of their many friends. and also of many beautiful
 and useful gifts.
 MT. Nash was sent out to this
 division from the Anchorage divi- sion as transitman, and arrived here
 early last spring. He worked with Resident Engineer George s. Ab-
 bolt, and on the transfer of the lat 1 ter to Jack river, acted as resident
 engineer, which position he still
 holds.
 On final completion of the work
 on the Fairbanks-Happy line, Mir
 Nash probably will go to the Jack
 river residency, where he will be ' joined later by Mrs. Nash.

COMMISSION HAS MANY MEN STRUNG
 ALONG COAST END

According to figures secured from the office of the chairman and chief engineer of the Alaskan Engineer ing commission, more men are now on the payroll of the Government railroad than at any time since the boom days of 1917, when men were plentiful, says a recent issue of the Anchorage Times. The peak, in June of 1917, saw 6,2OO men em- ployed by the commission, of whom some 4,400 were employed in the Southern division, principally near Anchorage.
 The present forces, while not equaling the 1917 record by about two thousand men, represent all available help, the commission fnd- ing it impossible to secure the num- Der of men desired. The number of employees on the payroll last week totaled 3,831, of which 966 are en- ployed on the Northern division, and the balance scattered along the Southern division from Broad Pass to Seward.
 Considerable work is being done in the district south of Turnagain arm. Commencing at Tunnel and ending at about Mile 46, about 250 men are employed on bridge con- struction, tunnel enlargement and snowshed work. Much permanent work is being done, and this district has been the scene of much activity all summer. It is expected the Anchorage-Seward line will be in first-class condition for heavy traffic before the snow flies. No trouble with snowslides is expected this win ter.
 Between Anchorage and Nenana the most work is being done above Talkeetna, around Hurricane gulch and points north. Upwards of fif- teen hundred men are employed in this section of the work, and con- struction is progressing rapidly.
 An interesting comparison might be made between the disbursements of 1917 and 1920. Due to the in- creased cost of construction, espe- cially in the wages paid, the payroll for last month almost equaled that of the peak in 1917, when many more men were employed. The Au- gust payroll totaled over $400,000 gross. ....@ .:.-.
 September 3 was good day for  tracklaying on the Government rail road, and as a result the line was advanced 5000 feet, or nearly one mile, farther toward the goal, and Labor day found the end of steel at Mile 261A. This is only 2A miles from the bridge site on the Susitna. A cut and some other grading in- tervene, however, and week or more must elapse before track can be pushed on to Gold creek, where the big steel bridge is to be thrown across the Susitna.
