Once the streets paved it would be foolishly

pavement torn up; hence the streets should not be

great and growing need that they should be paved within

WASHINGTON, January 12.-This
afternoon a load of loose hay was seen
passing slowly along Pennsylvania
Avenue, by the south front of the
White House, attracting much atten-
tion from passers by, who remarked
upon the unusual sight. Their mild
curiosity was turned into astonishment
when secret service men stopped the
outfit; and produced from the hay
several concealed men with cameras
(much as a magician, would produce
rabbits. from a hat). The cameras
were equipped with telescope lenses.
Photographers said they had hoped
to snap President Wilson as he sat in
a wheel chair, near the south portico
Of the building.

American Senate to ratify the treaty.
the action provided in the Covenant
of the League that the President of
the United States should call the first
meeting Of it's council.
From London there comes infor-
nation that the British press seem
very greatly put out by the failure
of the United States to ratify thee
peace treaty; and some of their edi-
torials carry very mournful tone.
The London Telegraph is quoted
as being particularly lachrymose in
it's expressions. The following quo
tation from the Telegraph was cab
led today.
"The omission of Americas sig
nature to the ratifying document is
for the disappointment Of hope that
glowed with promise for humanity
a year ago. 1t is true the League Of
Nations exists by the terms of the
treaty; but the world knows that un-
til the United States adheres to the
league not tithe of the usefulness
and moral authority it should pos
sess will belong to it."
Other London newspapers are
equally as sorrowful. And some Of
them say right out. that there is no
guaranty of peace in present con-
ditions; and doubts are expressed Of
a possibility Of a world peace until
conditions are changed in Russia.

COMPANY PLANS
 LARGE BUNKERS FOR LOCAL USE

According to an announcement made by Dr. J. R. Bowen at the meeting of the Nenana Commercial club on Friday evening, it is the intention of the Healy River Coal corporation, with which he has be- come identified, to erect large coal bunkers in Nenana, provided satis- factory arrangements can be made with the Alaskan Engineering com mission. And that such arrange ments can be made was indicated by Engineer in Charge Fred'k D. Browne, who stated. when the mat ter was brought up, that bunker room on the railroad reserve prob ably could be used by the company fer the purpose desired, at a place convenient to the elevated track ana to the waterfront.
 It was the company's plan to erect bunkers on the waterfront near the foot of A street, so as to facili- tate the delivery of coal to local consumers, but Mir. Browne ex- pressed the belief that there would be objection to the bunkers at such Ia location, directly in front of the town, and suggested that an equally Iconvenient location could be found on the reserve.
 Dr. Bowen explained that the use of bunkers would mean a considera- ble saving to coal users by making it possible to load delivery wagons by gravity instead of shoveling as | is done at present.
 The company expects to sell a considerable quantity of coal during the coming summer to Fairbanks
 and other points along the river, and
 the bunkers will make it possible tc
 load the fuel on barges without costly handling.

PHONE SERVICE
 WILL CONTINUE
 AS Al PRESENT

Announcement was made by En- gireer in Charge Fred'k D. Browne, at the meeting of the commercial club on Friday night, that there would be no curtailment in the Ne mana telephone service as previous ly contemplated by the commission as means of cutting down oper- ating expenses.
 Members of the club made wig orous protest against the proposed cut, showing Mr. Browne that a discontinuance of the night service would expose the town and the pub lie to grave danger and serious in- convenience. It was pointed out that phone service in Alaskan towns offers protection against fire that is obtainable in no other way.
 
 alarm system, and that the discon- tinuance of the night service prob ably would result in the cancella- tion of much of the insurance now carried
 After the question had been dis cussed at considerable length, Mir Browne announced that the cut would not be made, and informed the members that their protest and arguments had been responsible for the decision to continue the service as it is at present.
 The curtailment plan included the reduction of the office force to two operators and the closing of the board between the hours of eleven and seven o'clock. Such a curtail- ment would save the Government about S100 a month.
 Mr. Browne explained the tele- phone service is not now on a pay ing basis, and that it is the policy of the commission to eliminate such losses from side issues wherever pos s;ble '-:

FAIRBANKS HAS
 LARGE BALANCE MONEY IN BANK

According to a statement made
 by City Treasurer George Hutchin- son, the financial condition of Fair
 banks is better now than it has been lat any time during the past ten years. There is at present in the treasury, he says, the sum of S13,- 1000, with outstanding obligations az igregating approximately S2,000 leaving a net balance on hand of S11, 1000. In addition to the money now on hand, Hutchinson reports, taxes stil due the city and which will be paid
 in within short time will add $3,, 1000 or s4,000.
 The showing is considered re. markable, in view of the large de. crease in revenues incident to the closing of saloons, and is due to the very careful management of town affairs by the council

WASHINGTON, April Nationwide !
reports from federal reserve banks Of |
ficials just made public disclosed their
opinion that the postwar era OF extra
vagance and reckless buying by the
public IS nearing its end "A hesitation,
ii not an actual recession" of prices is
noted and the federal reserve boards
statement summarizes its advices as in
dcating a generally more hopeful view of
the country's business condition than for
several months.
While the price changes were shown
by the board not to be universal, they
were nevertheless regarded as positive and
important as a basis for reckoning what
the immediate future holds
Relief from the high prices for the CON
sumner will not be completely obtained
until present stocks are absorbed in prac-
| tically all lines, according to the boards
view. Manufacturers everywhere lhow
ever, are shown to hold the view that the
| peak Of high prices has been reached and
| to expect a gradual recession.
| In the clothing trade particularly, the
| board said there was marked tendency
of the public to make old supplies last
| longer and to refuse to pay exorbitant
| prices. This phase can mean only that
the awakening has come, the statement
said, and that many people have arrived
at the conclusion thGt they are themselves
responsible for a continuing high range of
| prices.
Wholesalers in the dry goods trade to
! l..
| tory attitude" and are advising their
customers not to place heavy fall orders
This has served to slac1en demand and
create feeling that lower prices will
follow
The reports do not give encouragement
concerning Il price reduction in shoes.
There was, however a wide divergence Of
opinion as to what shoe and leather prices
will do
The opening OF the spring season has
of activity and is rendering the farmers
problem for the coming season consid
elably more definite than heretofore II
the southern states cold weather ha'
somewhat retarded the preparation fol
the new crop season.
In the Middle West soil conditions arr
very promising for the reason that tn,
winter, although cold, showed less fuc
tuation in temperature than usual.
The wheat crop, however, has suffered
deterioration
The federal board finds that the rol
and steel industry has shown a continu
alton Of its great prosperity, being bookc
up far ahead The demand for pig iro
is very strong and prices have advanced
hut great difficulty in securing adequat
transportation Is reported. The outloo
q for the spring season, both iEdustrlaly an
G agriculturally, is excellent, the chief mod
o flying factors in the situation being il
adequacy of labor supply and shortage {
