VACHON STORE BURNED;
 LANDMARK ON PANAMA

The Vachon store and other build- ings composing the oldtime trading post at the mouth of the Tolovana river, below Nenana, were destroyed by fire late last week, according to information received in Fairbanks Saturday afternoon. The origin of the fire and other details have not been ascertained but it is under stood that all the buildings were burned, together with their con- tents, representing a very consider able loss.
 Mrs. John Vachon, who resided at Tolovana for many years. came up river only recently and is at the present time in Fairbanks, to which place the news of the fire was wired to her. A wire also was sent to Peter Vachon, at Panama. and he is now awaiting an opportunity to get uT. river to survey the loss. It is not known here whether or not the post was insured.
 A fire several years ago at the same place caused the death of two of the Vachon children.

 F Farmers  Tourists
 The Nenana district offers oppor-
 >tunities for prospecting, farming, and
 trapping that are unequaled in any
 other section of Alaska.
 Gold placers of known value, close to Nenana, are producing annually sub- stantial amounts, and there are scores of streams within the district on which
 little or no prospecting has been done.
 These streams, until a short time ago
 almost inaccessible, are now easily reached by means of the new Govern ment Railroad, and undoubtedly soon will be the scene of much mining ac- Il tivity. Il Farming in the Nenana district has II the advantage of growing season fully ten days longer than that of any other ] section of Interior Alaska. There is much desirable land in the district open to homesteaders, and marketing possi- bilities are being expanded steadily. |I Fur-bearing animals of the Nenana and adjacent districts are noted for the fine quality of their fur, and trappers annually bring large numbers of belts to Nenana and receive for them higher Il prices than are obtained for the average Il furs of other districts Game of all kinds abounds in the Nenana district, there are scores of trout streams easy of access, and the scenic wonders of the district are un- surpassed. The district is the natural gateway to Mt. Mckinley National Park, and close to Nenana may be viewed the largest coal ledges in the
 world.

 resources and possibilities of the Ne
 mana district may be obtained from the

Chicago, Apr. SITS going to be a
soft life for the men in 1920. This
was the prediction today OF women
who have invaded the field of fl
nance and business, based on bank
deposits by the feminine sex in the
last four years.
According to Mrs. H. c. Klein
sorger, in charge of the women's
department of the Continental and
Commercial bank here, the evolu-
tion Of woman from a clinging vine
to financial giantess is progressing
rapidly and within a few genera
tions woman will take her stand
with the men financiers. That
women's evolution will mean her
supplanting the man and his rele-
cation to being a house husband is
not entirely improbable, women
said.
Save More Than Men.
Banking deposits. according to
reports today. showed women pro-
portionately saving more money
than men.
In the last four years the num-
ber of women depositors as well as
the amount of savings has doubled,
they showed.
So rapid is the increase Of wom-
ems activities in the business world

SENATE GETS
MANDATEPLAN
OVER Armenia
Must Be Agreement With Britain,
France, Germany. Russia,
Harbord Report Advises.

Washington, April 3.-President
Wilson transmitted to the senate
today the report of the American
commission, headed by Major Cen
eral Harbord, which investigated
conditions in Armenia. The report
had twice been asked for by the
senate, first last November. and
then under resolution adopted
several weeks ago.
The commission made no recon-
mendations as to the United States
assuming a mandatory over Turkey
and Armenia, but its report con-
tanned extensive arguments for and
against such action.
Urges Agreement.
No mandate should be taken, the
commission said, without formal
agreement with France and Great
Britain and also definite approval"
of Germany and Russia. The in
habitants, the mission stated, desire

with Great Britain, the second
choice.
The principal arguments ad-
vanced in favor of the United States
accepting a mandate were that the
influence of the United States would
tend to avert wars; that the in
habitants wanted American protec-
ton, and that this would give the
United States an opportunity to a
great humanitarian work.
Held Menace TO Doctrine.
Reasons advanced against a man
date were that it would weaken
our position relative to the Mon
roe Doctrine" that Humanitarian
ism begins at home" and that the
first years cost would be $275, 5,000.-
900, including $S8,500,000 for the
army and navy.

Scores of banks in the middle
west have opened women's depart

| Twice as many women are saw
ing money today as before the war;
said Miss Nina Y. Carter, in charge
Of the woman's department Of a

This is caused by the fact that
there are more women who have

that more have been thrown on

IRISH WOMEN
CALL PICKETS
FROM CAPITAL

Washington, April 3.-Picketing
of the British embassy by women
favorable to an Irish republic, was
called off today by the leaders of
the movement
Mrs. Thomas Corliss OF New
York, one OF the leaders Of the
movement, said the state depart
ment was not responsible; that the
department had not communicated
with the women.
I'VE picket the embassy on Good
Friday" she said, TO remind
Great Britain and the state depart
ntent of the crucifixtion of Christ,
and to call attention that Ireland
was being crucified."
Mrs. Corliss said the leaders OF
the movement had no statement to
make as to their plans. but that it
did not necessarily follow that be-
cause the pickets did not visit the
embassy today, that the picketing
had ended.
At the state department it was
said that there were no develop
ments in the situation.

PALMER CALLS
CLOSE TAB ON
COAL GOUCERS
Federal Agents Warned
to Watch for
Profteers.

Washington, April Federal
district attorneys were instructed
today by Attorney General Palmer
to receive and consider complaints
Of pro6teering in bituminous coal
which may arise in your district
under the Lever act"
Mr.. Palmer's telegram was pre-
pared after some bituminous coal
operators had said publicly that the
new wage scale agreement under
the terms of the award by the coal
strike settlement commission would
result in an increase of from 60
cents to $1.25 a ton on coal.
Pointing out that the total in
crease in wages had been estimated
at approximately 100000, 900 a
year, Mr.. Palmer said that if this
entire amount were added by the
operators to the price, it would
make only an increase of 40 cents
a ton"
''If, however, the operators alb
sorb the IA per cent increase which
became effective in December, !"
said the attorney general, there
will be left only $96,O0O,O0 to be
passed on to the consumer. In this
event the increase-in the price Of
coal at the mine should about to
20 cents ton.
Estimate Exaggerated.
II understand that an exaggerat-
ed estimate of the demand for ex-
port coal is affecting the market
price. particularly from Illinois
sat. this demand having been esti-
mated at as much as 100000, 900
tons. But l am advised that our
port facilities are only adequate for
the export of 90,000,OOO tons per
year: that is to say, only per cent
Of our total production. This
should not be made an excuse for
raising the price for normal con-
sumption. 1t is probable that nor
NAL conditions will be shortly re-
stored and fair prices will follow.
In the meantime, please receive and
consider complaints of profiteering
which may arise in your district
under the Lever act"

Hoover Urges Against
"Other Party" FAVOR;
Stands on His Record

New York, April 3.-Herbert
Hoover, who has announced he is
ready to accep. the Republican
presidential nomination il it is de-
manded Of him, issued a statement
today in which he requested he be
not further embarrassed by sugges-
tions of some independents that his
name be placed before any other
party, as "a primary sense OF team
work in any party organization
would preclude such a possibility" /"
Mr.. Hoover said in his statement
he had no great record of partisan
activity and admitted" that his po-
litical activity was confined to
membership in prominent Repub-
lican club, and allegiance to the
party over a period OF years. He
added that, because Of his profess
sion Of mining engineer, contin-
ual shift of residence had prevent
ed him from exercising as much as
he desired the privilege Of every
citizen at the polls.
Asserting that his administra-
tive duties in various relief organ
izations would prevent him from
making a personal canvass for the
nomination, Mr.. Hoover said he
expected Hoover organizations
throughout the country would have
to expend certain amounts for
printing and other expenses, but
that he hoped they would confine
themselves to minor subscriptions
and expenditures and would be
prepared to open their books to
public inspection.
Against Criticism.
Mr.. Hoover requested that men
and women advocating his nomin-
alton bear in mind that personal
criticism of the other names be-
fore the party is chiefly of service
to the opposition"

triotic, honorable Americans. They
