CANYON NOTES
= NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

H. J. Rush, who was formerly at
tached to the Kestly party, near
Healy, returned to Nenana from
Fairbanks on Tuesday and reports
having had considerable difficulty
reaching the upper town. He left
the Kestly camp on May with a
ticket for Fairbanks and all went
well until he stepped from the train
at station north of Dunbars, to
speak to a friend. While thus en-
gagged the train pulled out and left
him, necessitating a hike of IA
miles to his destination. 1t is need
less to say he stuck close to his
seat on the return trip.

THE New Bill, if enactedinto a law

THE New Bill, if enactedinto law will provide a first big step towards statehood. It will in no wise restrict the Territory from Securing the full est self-governing powers, but on the contrary will make these possible much more quickly, for it's very pur
 pose is to increase population and de velop natural resources. Without Al aska can go ahead industrially and realize it's great heritage, self-govern- ing powers will prove an empty honor.
