CITIZENS DISCUSS KANTISHNA
 WITH WAGON ROAD OFFICIAL

An important conference was held yesterday morning between a number of prominent citizens of Nenana and Major John c. Gotwals, engineer officer of the Alaska Road Commission, the meeting having been arranged in order that the ad vantages of a wagon road from Nenana to the heart of the Kantish- na district might be pointed out to Major Gotwals, with a view to inter esting the road building organization in the suggested route.
 The meeting was held at the store of Anderson Bros. & Nerland, and the Anderson map, designed especial ly for the purpose of showing the several suggested wagon road routes into the Kantishna district, was en- ployed convincingly as an argument in favor of the Nenana route.
 At the conclusion of the confer ence, Major Gotwals assured those present that the Nenana route would receive consideration and, funds permitting, reconnaissance would be made during the coming fall, after the ground has been hardened by frost.
 The Nenana route is slightly long CT than the proposed Lignite route, but 1t is believed by those familiar with conditions, that a wagon road built from Nenana to the diggings would cost no more than the Lignite road and would be much more bene- ticial to the people of the Kantishna by reason of the absence of grades and the fact that such a road would lead directly to supply base. ........
 Major Gotwals left for Fairbanks immediately after the conference but will return within few days to make preparations for a trip across country to the Kantishna and kuskokwim districts, for the purpose of studying summer conditions.

FOREST FIRES RAGE AT MAYO

DAWSON, Aug. 4--According to reports received in this city from the upper Stewart river, forest fires are sweeping a large section of the country, in the Mayo district.

While The News is not prepared to say whether it was the visit of the Governor, the reorganization of the towns public utilities or the application for permission to in- corporate, the fact is nevertheless apparent that Nenanaites are grip ped by new optimism which augurs we'll for the future growth and prosperity of the town.
 Nenana has natural advantages which insure steady, solid growth. The location of the town is such that the development of any portion of Interior Alaska much of necessity stimulate business here, and with stimulated business will come new enterprises, larger stocks and more people It cannot be otherwise if Alaska is to develop, and we have 1t from Governor Bone that the Harding administration is determined to do something worthwhile for the territory.
 This era of development. of which the Governor speaks, is already in the making, and undoubtedly will follow closely after the closing of the gap on the Government railroad for it is realized at Washington that something must be done, and done speedily, or the railroad project, on which fifty millions already have been expended, will be a failure, And when that something is done, whatever it may be, if it results in developing Interior Alaska, it will help Nenana. ..<. ...: =~
 Increasing realization of these natural town advantages is resulting in the development of a town spirit which will speed the coming of big ger and better days. Cooperative effort for the common good is the watchword of those who appreciate the importance of moving forward as a unit in order that full ad- vantage may be taken of all oppor- tunities for the upbuilding of the community.

In view of the fact that several of the, indicted White Sox players confessed that they knew of a con spiracy to throw the World series and were implicated in it, the ac- quittal of those charged with an attempt to use organized baseball as a medium through which to rob an unsuspecting public, will be re garded by Americans as a farce and a disgrace, almost on par with the conspiracy. The defense of the accused players was that it is not a crime in Illinois to rob the public in that manner, and the jury appears to have been of that mind also. Under the circumstances, it is reassuring to know that Judge Landis takes a different view of the matter and will not give the guilty men another chance to accept bribes
 It is good to know that there is at the head of the big leagues an honest man who is bigger than trial jury and more dependable.

ment of 1.-The facts regarding Rus
sia, indicates definitely that there is
no prospect of a resumption of rela-

the soviet political and economic sys-

The letter of the secretary of state
makes direct reply to various state
ments characterized as propaganda,
which contend that resumption of
relations, trade or political, with the
soviets would open great current
of trade of advantage to the United
States and that large shipments or
Russian gold have already been made
to other countries in payment for
goods.
Soviet Russia, Secretary Hughes
declares, is a Gigantic economic
vacuum" and = adds that mo evil

SAMPSON COUNTY LOSES
BY THE COLD WEATHER

Clinton, April 18-Calamity has
befallen old Sampson. There was
the most promising crop of buckle
berries seen in quarter of a CEN
tury and they were wonderfully ad-
vanced for the season. It is prob
able that the crop would have
brought into the county nearly a
quarter of million dollars, but this
hope of an influx of spring and sum-
mer money is blighted. The frost of
Monday night last simply wiped out
the whole prospect and dead berries
could be gathered by the handful on
Tuesday and Wednesday. The peach
crop seems not to have suffered so
complete a loss, yet it is probable
that a great part of those that ap-
paar to survive the ordeal will fall
off before maturity. Likewise the
grapes have suffered irreparable dis
aster, the vines in many cases ap-
pearing as if scosehed by fire.

URGE LOWERING

MIR. Hoover Thinks the Rates
Have a Bearing ON Future
National Life.

Washington, April 18.-A speedy
lowering of railroad rates was urged
as an essential to agriculture and in

spoke before the conference of the
American Farm Bureau Federation.
The whole rate structure needs con-

future national. life," Mr.. Hoover de-
clared. He continued:
UNLESS we can look forward to
some drop in rates. he, said, 1--WE
shall rewrite the whole Industrial
geography of the United States. Rail-
road rates bear an intricate relation
to our national prosperity and unless
they are lowered quickly there will
be a decided shifting of agricultural
industry.
''The present rate on a bushel of
grain from Missouri points to New
York is 80 cents, as against 10 cents
for grain from Argentine to New
York." the Secretary said. "a con-
tinuation of this condition, he added.

the Central States of the West to for

lesson from Europe, here the conver-

was of primary necessity" for the
nation to look after the protection OF
the agricultural interests and see
that they developed along with in
