TRUSTEES FIND
 FIRE SITUATION
 GRAVE PROBLEM

Reluctant to impose additional burdens upon the taxpayers of the town, the board of trustees arrived at the conclusion, at special meeting held last night, that the only way out of the firehall mud dle IS to insist upon the employ ment of an additional member of the town fire department, to insure efficient handling of the fire ap- paratus. The muddle referred to has resulted from the transfer of Townsite Manager Schmidt from the townsite building to the tele- phone exchange. leaving Fire Chief Nash alone in the firehall and un- able to leave the building to test hydrants and inspect stovepipes, an inspection that is regarded as chiefly responsible for the fact that few fires have occurred in Nenana.
 The committee consisting of Trus- tees Waechtcr. Rosburg, and Smith. appointed to consult with Engineer in Charge Browne regarding the firehall situation reported that their meeting had not been productive of results satisfactory to them
 Mir. Browne, they said, had of fered several suggestions as a way out of the difficulty, and these were presented to the board. One of them was that an attempt be made to induce someone to move into the townsite office, possibly a real estate agent or business of that kind. For the use of the office, and sleeping quarters, the occupant would be willing, Mr. Browne thought, to serve as a volunteer fireman, taking care of the place during the absence of the fire chief and assisting with the apparatus in rase of fire
 MT. Browne also suggested the of a volunteer depart nent, expressing the belief that the board would have little difficulty in filing up the department in that way.
 MT. Browne told the committee hat the commission is losing money )n all of its townsites and is op- posed to additional expenditures that will be further drain on commis- sion funds. He said that, under the circumstances, he could not consent 0 the employment of another man for the frehall. One man, in his opinion, ought to be able to run the place.
 After the report of the commit zee had been discussed at length md the various suggestions rejected IS unavoidable and undesirable, the Jerk was instructed to write let CT to MT. Browne. insisting upon he appointment of an assistant to he fire chief, with such additional luties as might be imposed upon Jim from time to time. There is l considerable part of the year, it vas pointed out, when more than me man is needed on the town pay oil, and the added cost of making uch employment steady, the year seemed to the board to be justified, under the circumstances, o provide the town with efficient ire protection.

TESTING THREE WELLS

Stephens. Sept. 19.-The Louisiana
Oil Refining Corporation is baling
out it's we'll near Hunter No. l at g.
165 feet, Standard No. is drilling in
2,091 feet and Hunter No. l is drill
ing in at 2,207 feet, buut up to this
time there has been no showing of oil
in any of them.
Much interest is manifested in
these operations because all three
Wells are near Hunter No. l, which is
producing The Standard Oil Com
pany's we'll is 1,100 feet northeast,
Louisiana No. is 1000 feet west, and
Hunter No 2 is about a mile away.
Casing was set some time ago on all
three wells and preparations made
for test.
1t is expected that if no we'll is

Prices Are Higher, But
Living is About the Same

Little Rock, Sept 21.-(SpeciaD -
People who travel these days are
forcibly reminded of the increased
cost of transportation, in common with
everything else that enters into human
existence. The day of the 10 cent
shave, the $500 shoe, the 20 pounds of
sugar for 81 90, the 10 cent soup bone,
and the SO cents a day and board labor
has gone into the dim and misty past,
probably never to return. Those were
the good old days, but it is remembered
that while commodities cost little, the
average person had little to buy them
with and the man on 500 salary was
considered among the most fortunate
and he supported family and contri-
buted to his church and his lodge on
this meager amount.
But, referring again to the item OF
railroad transportation, the railroad
employees insisted they were not being
paid an adequate salary and demanded
an increase, which was granted, aggre-
eating a few billion dollars. OF course
the people who must travel must pay
the bill. Until the first of September,
a person might travel from Little Rock
to New York and returun for Sl04l6,
including Pullman fare. Now it costs
S13O.OS The fare to Chicago was
$5O54 for round trip; now it is S63,42.
The fare from Little Rock to st. Louis
was formerly $2S.5S, but now it is $3S.
Of course everybody now makes more
money than formerly and there are
certain commodities which the average
person is unable to secure since the
adoption of the Eighteenth amend
ment, so he has more money to spend
on railroad transportation.

Government Makes Report
on the Fuel Supply

Little Rock, Sept 21.-(SpeciaD -
ment printing office final report of
the Federal Fuel Administration for
Arkansas. 1t contains much interest
ing material of a historical nature
about distribution of fuel in year of
1918 which was born in a blizzard
and Graded in a snow storm. Tne
winter of 1918-19, particlarly January
and February was one of the most
severe in the history or the state and
alone saved the greater part of the
population from great suffering. The
campaign for fuel conservation which
was carried on during the time of the
Fuel Administration is having its eff
feet now. Conservation has been a
matter of educating the public in the
most efficient and economic use OF
fuel and the suggestive methods which
have been put forth by the government
years to come, Owing to the fact that
Arkansas has many coal mines located
within its borders, a considerable por-
tion of which were closed down at var
los intervals during the war period
on account of lack OF, orders, there has
not existed in Arkansas at any time
such an acute situation as was preva-
lent in some other states where the
severest economy in the use of fuel
was demanded. The problem in Ark
ansas has not been so much the lack
of fuel, as the question of transporta-
ton. A number of the larger cities of
the state are served with natural gas
and an immense saving was accom-
plished in the use of this class of fuel
by the educational campaign that was
carried ON by the Fuel administration.
