 However, there are no such obsta- cles where the soldiers are concern ed, and their status should be clear ly and speedily determined by some ruling of law which will leave no doubt as to their voting eligibility when they appear at the polls

LOCAL MUSICIANS
 ORGANIZING BAND

There is movement on foot among local musicians to form a musical organization - band, if possible, and if not, then com bination orchestra which will include all kinds of musical instruments. A start has already been made, but there is shortage of instru- ments and canvass of the town is being made in an effort to round up such music-makers as there may be i in the camp. There are several musicians available if they can be provided with instruments.
 | Walter Miller, who made his first
 appearance before a Nenana audi ence last night, is one of the active
 members of the embryo organization,
 which has its headquarters for the
 present at Eddie Miller's place at | A and Third streets. Prof. Ernst l Berggren also is interested in the
 movement Dick Morris is a pros- ] pective member and there are sev-
 eral others, it is believed, who are
 available. ...~. ! A general invitation is extended , to all Nenanaites who can play an
 instrument of any kind to affiliate
 with the organization, and those who have instruments that are not in use are urged to make the fact known.
 A bass horn and trombone can be
 used immediately.

NEW MEXICO HAS GROUND TIED UP
 BY O|L BOOMERS

New Mexico is about to have an oil boom, according to Ben Estby, former well-known oldtimer of h. terior Alaska, who has been in the South during the past couple ot years. In a letter addressed to Frank Rourke, the former Alaskan tells of having just returned to Iowa Park, Texas, from a siX-weeks' trip through New Mexico with C. Nelson and P. Nicholson.
 "They are commencing to boom that state for oil now," the letter says, land the biggest part of it has been taken up on. lease by the big companies. The Standard Oil con- pany has had scouts in that country for the past two or three years and they have secured about three million acres on lease. Other big companies also have been busy. Most of their leases are what are known as ten-year commercial leases and the average price paid was around ten cents an acre per year. And it is optional with the compa- nies whether they want to drill or pay the rental. Up to date there has been very little prospecting done for the amount of land tied up they are just stalling around, wait ing for the other fellow to com mence.
 "We bought a Jew Packard commonly called a Portland took in most of the Eastern part of the state. Went down the Pecos valley clear down into Texas. From Pecos we went to Fl Paso and stayed there for about a week That is, I stayed there while my two partners went across the Rio Grande to Juarez the day after the rebels took the town.

 Their uniforms were the most striking of the whole outfit. Some of the soldiers wore a cross between "a khaki and blue overall, and the starboard side of the trousers was patched with piece of buckskin. On the port side the hole was either left open for ventilation or the big gest part of it closed with big red handkerchief. You know they delight in decorating themselves with bright colors. Some of them had shoe with the whole toe cut off for
 the purpose of giving more room for their cornless, toes, I suppose, while its running mate appeared the

PLAIN DECISIONS NEEDED.

The recurrent controversies cen tering around the voting qualitica- tions of soldiers and atives dis closes an imperative need for clear ly defined legislative enactments or judicial rulings covering the status of both. believes the Nome Nugget. The voting qualifications required of soldiers and natives are so i'll de- fined that constant squabbles such as marked the recent municipal cleo tion, the past and present delegate contests, and many others, are bound 10 go on interminably unless some thing is done to set forth clearly what qualifications resident soldiers and natives must have to make their votes acceptable.
 The present law covering the eligi- bility of natives, says the Nome paper, is an absurdty. If it achieves any purpose whatsoever it is to make the question of native voting rights obscure. Instead of making clear the status of the natives applying for the franchise, it merely pins the question of voting eligibility onto an even more obscure question, namely whether or not the native has severed his tribal relations. A definiting of this character, if t may be termed a definition at all, is altogether too hay and uncer- tain to be characterized as solu- ton of the native voting problem.
 Inso far as the local natives are concerned, we doubt if there is one in a thousand who ever actually sewers his tribal relations. He may appear to do so for time and there may be some instances in which natives have actually done so. But we feel safe in assuming that such cases are exceedingly rare. Cir cumstances, customs, environment and physical traits are all against the native who attempts it, and probably will continue to be against it until the native has assimilated more knowledge of the views and methods of the whites
 The native who seeks to break away from his tribal relationships will inevitably find himself prac- tically forced back to them by his limited understanding of the white mans ways and the instinctive re- fusal of the whites to admit him to any degree of equality with them selves. Unless he is willing to make of himself a sort of pariah. self Isolated from his own people and summed and scorned by the whites he is certain to retain his associa' tion with his own race. As long as he maintains this association, SC long will there be question as tc his voting status because of the manifest impossibility of deciding definitely whether he has actuall. severed his tribal affiliations.
 As in the case of the soldier, wha is needed is a clear definition o+ some character by which the eligi bility of the native may be readil! determined when he presents himsel at the polls. It is clearly difficui matter to fix such a standard, bu we can at least improve upon tn ill-defned definition of eligibility es tablished by the present law. Re sort to educational standards as
 basis for judgment of native quail fications appears about the onl means by which a clear rule migh
