 AS INTERIOR AID

In response to a telegram re- Iceived this week from J. I. Me- Pherson, manager of the Alaska l bureau of the Seattle Chamber of i Commerce and special representa- tive of the interior department at 1 Washington, requesting information relative to the more urgent needs 1 of the Nenana district, the Nenana Commercial club last night named a special committee consisting of Sec retary Robert Joseph Diven, J. H. Scott, William Coutts, and w. H. Gilcher to prepare the desired data, with instructions to call particular attention to the need of a good wagon road in the Kantishna dis trict. The club wire will enumerate
 the several development aids al-
 ready urged in letters to MT. Me
 Pherson, and will be followed by a
 letter going into the road question
 thoroughly, the members of the club
 being fully convinced that a Kan
 tishna road is one of the greatest
 present needs of the Interior coun-
 try.
 Attention was called to the fact
 that the Federal Road commission
 has allotted the sum of $67,000 for
 road work in the new Hyder dis
 trict, while no attention whatever
 has been paid to the crying needs
 of the Kantishna, where far more
 money has been produced and where
 there is now under development d
 silver mine which has every indica
 tion of being as good as if not
 better than the much-advertised Pre-
 mier mine near Hyder.
 The club also decided to make
 preparations for meeting with
 Chairman Mears when that gentle man arrives from the coast, which possibly will be in the very near r future. \ committee was named to put the club business with the , chairman in presentable form and to arrange for the meeting. The ; wage question will be one of the
 principal matters discussed with the
 chairman. :-...~...
 As evidence of the clubs appreci-
 ation of the interest displayed in Alaskan affairs by John Barton Payne, new secretary of the interi- or, Secretary Diven was instructed to write brief note to MT. Payne, l thanking him for his very prompt action in matters brought to his at tention since he assumed his new duties.
 Secretary Diven read letter re- ceived by him relative to the fish situation in Interior Alaska, and the reply prepared by him. The two letters, which are of much in- terest and importance to Interior Alaskans, will be printed in full in Mondays issue of The News. J. A. Slippern, who presided over . the meeting in the absence of Presl- : dent Bowen, and who is one of the : retiring members of the school : board, called attention to the fact ! that no candidates have filed for the approaching school election, and he urged the members to make an effort to induce citizens of the town to display greater interest in school affairs. All of the members present promised to assist in find- ing suitable candidates, but none would consent to the use of their own names.
