TANANA VALLEY ITEMS WAITED FROM INTERIOR


 md" Whether the worthy editor de cided he handn't enough space in the .olumns of his paper to roast Nenana or whether he couln't stand to see he towns of the coast all publishing a good daily and the Interior Metrop- oplis in the weekly class we dare .os say but here is his reason for the change:
 "We are compelled to tell you to- night that we will not be able to pub .ish a tri-weekly newspaper in oui own no more no time. Those who of the daily subscribers quit the paper because it ceased to become a daily will testify that it has been good tri- .yeekly a better issue than any single .ssue the daily ever was or could be. Ihe only thing that we gained in drop ping from daily to tri-weekly was ! much needed rest. And that rest and the time for reflection which was ours and the one-thing and another which resulted in the conviction that we. cannot continue to issue a tri- weekly in "Our Town"
 "Along with large part and par eel of the community we grew to be- lieve that it was up to us to retrench. As a matter of fact it was the other fellow that inflicted that belief upon us and it "took." You can't travel from store to store in Our Town and have pessimism handed to you in every place you go without some of it stick ing to you. We printed a good tri- weekly during the month of December We have done more business and had ] more profit than we ever did with the daily. = And that's why we say we cannot longer print a tri-weekly in Fairbanks. Neither our civic pride nor our conscience will allow us to. From now on until the end the News Miner will be a daily paper and the best we can make it."
 At the home of Mrs. Florence Mo Quilken recently Mrs. Nina M. Ker- Ter and Mir. Jack O'Gara were united in marriage. The ceremony was per pormed by commissioner Hellig and only few of the many friends of the bride and groom were present. Hot words are flying between the citizens of Fairbanks and the citizens ,f Nenana. The News-Miner claims
 hat Nenana took their mail route, stage route, a lot of the population, the buildings and worst of all-their young women, and now that the com mission is moving away from Nenana :hey complain that the citizens of Ne lana expect to come back and live off the Fairbanks people.
