of our generals, for they had very little to gain and gave their all for their country. And I feel, as the father of one of them, that 1t is our duty to see that their ideals are carried out.
 In the early days, when our large transcontinental roads were being built, thousands of Chinamen were smuggled into the United States from Canada to work on the rail roads under contract. and a great many Chinese made fortunes out of the deal. and for years many of our poorer citizens had to work with this opposition. So wages for that class of work have always been low. But times have changed and we have over 115,0O0,OO0 people in the United States now, and we have enough American citizens to do all our own work. Our splendid school system has educated the children these last 15 years so that We have a different class of people to do manual labor now. And there is no reason why our citizens should stand aside and pay high taxes and war expenses for the upkeep of the
 country. and then be denied the
 wages this part of the country is
 entitled to- The laboring class is
 coming into it's own.
 .' The United States has shown i'
 can feed the world if necessary. Ii the war has done no more good, Il
 has at least opened the eyes of the
 people and taken them out of { rut they have been travelling in fol cepturies past.
 . My suggestion is this: That al
 men boarding at the messhouss should be charged for the board S2.25 per day, which it costs th'
 Government, and then have thei
 wages raised sl per day, to offSe , the increase in the price of board , This would put all men, whetne
 boarding at the mess or buy ng a F the store, on an equal footing l There has been no raise in wage !. for the last year and half, whll commodities have gone up 70 pc; . cent; therefore, all men sh"u'i hay

We'll, what do you know about that? Somebody is getting anxious to know if anybody will be here after the railroad is finished. Oh. if this commission would only tell the truth about what they have done to build up the Interior population, it would fill book (nit). But there is a ray of hope left us yet. The good people at Washington who voted the money to build this road still have us in mind and are look ing to our welfare. They no doubt can see castles in the air and thriv- ing little communities on that S35,- 100000 which has already been spent.
 1 But what has this commission done to build up the population that the congressman think it has been doing? It has done nothing but tear it down and discourage every citizen who has tried to build a home here, and every business man who has tried to build up the com, munity.
 The townsite and lot question has been retold many times; but i won't hurt to tell some of it again as our congressman are asking now what the commission is doing t build up the population. When MT Christiansen, to use his own words "put this town on the map,' h' gave the people thoroughly to un derstand the large payroll, publi buildings, etc., that would be here And he also caused notices to b. posted in conspicuous places to tn effect that any persons gatherini together for the purpose of keepin iprices down on lots would be sub fleet to a fine and also jail sen tence So with all these restric !tions lots went high. But that all over We paid the price in goo faith. and are going through at ou own expense. But what right ha any employe of this Government t tell that the Government did nc ask us to come here? The congres: men are asking now what they ar doing to keep us here.
 There is only one thing that
 have seen which I highly recon ,ment, and that is: they put goo quarantine on, which probably kel the "fu" out of the Interior a lit over a year ago. To offset tha the married men of the Interit who had to depend on the railroa
 work for living have nearly star
 ed to death and most of them ha, gone out and taken a chance wit the "au." ::..~ .... AL

a raise of 10 percent of the cost of living at s2.25 per day, or si which would make the $4.90 man receive S6.90 and pay board at s2.25, which would leave him S4.65 per day and board. The lowest wage paid by private concerns is S5 per day and board. or SS and board yourself.

Nenana, March g, 1920. Editor News-Sir:
 "The senate adopts a resolution calling upon the secretary of the interior to submit a report inform ing the lawmakers what steps, if any, have been taken by the de- partment and the Alaskan Engineer ing commission to develop traffic and population along the Govern ment railroad in the Territory"
The Nenana daily news., 1920-03-11

at Seattle, and he made it distinctly understood at his information office the conditions under which this railroad was to be built. Here is his statement to me personally:
 'This railroad will be built as an experiment by the Government. No large outside firm of any kind will get contracts on this road. The work will be given to Alaskans en- tirely, if possible, and the ordinary working people are ito do all the work and make what money there is in it." These were the instructions from Washington. So the people of Alas ka certainly had the good will of Washington with them
 MT. Dole also told me the rail- road would be built from both ends from Seward and Anchorage, and would start at deep water on the Panama river at Nenana, from the Interior end. So anyone can see that the heads at Washington were
 in for a square deal to AlaskanS.
 We all know what has happened since then.
 The lowest possible wage anyone
 could be induced to work for was
 paid. And hundreds of hardy, able
 bodied men who were interested in
 the country and could have built
 the railroad in short order. could
 not exist on the low wages offered,
 and most of them have left for the
 States, and Alaska and the Govern ment are both losers thereby. There are no better or more pa triotic citizens than Interior Alas kans, and 95 percent of them are American citizens of the highest , type. They believe in law and or r der, and on the other hand, Ii tn.
 railroad got tied up in strike | would leave every married man witt , family in a critical condition. a'
 there is no ether means of suppor . here; and none of them would hav' 9 enough money to reach the States : for it is impossible for them t :. save any money from the wage paid, and it is very eXpensiF' e journey from the Interior to tn a States. Under these conditions, th !, hest men have continually been leav 2 ing.
