special efforts to keep the miners at

supplies of food to the mining dis.
tricts. Through the necessary of sup
plying coal for locomotives, the fuel
problem is linked in an important
manner with the question Of famine
relief.
Hamper Relief Work.
As has been shown by the official
reports from Moscow, a few districts
in Russia will produce more than
enough to feed their own populations.
Unless some means is available for
transporting this surplus grain to the
less fortunate districts, however. IL
will have no effect in alternating the
general shortage.
The railroads are only about 3 per
cent efficient. because Of the lack Of
locomotives and rolling stock. and
even this inferior degree of efficiency
Is menaced by the shortage Of fuel.
This problem has an important bear.
ing upon the relief work proposed by
Mr.. Hoover and other organizations,
as transportation facilities must be
available In goodly measure when
American relief supplies begin to pour
in from Danzig, Riga, and Reval.
Mr.. Hoover has stated that he is
ready to care for 100000 starving
children. One of the most difficult
problems in connection with this un-
dertaking is expected to be that of
securing proper transportation for
these supplies from the Russian Dor.
der into the various towns and vii.
lagos in the interior.

A patent medicine manufact-
urer in Oakland, Calf, today
wrote Secretary of Labor Davis
that if $4,000 persons were
unemployed in the United States
as the Secretary recently told the
Senate, 1t was largely due to
the fact that many Of them
would not work.
He cited the fact that recently
in Oakland he offered work to
over 400 men whom he found
in three labor exchanges Tying
around playing cards and smok-
ing cigarettes" and that not one
of them accepted his offer.
He asked Secretary Davis to
send him 5000 men at once "if
he could find that many who
wanted work."
At the same time, after stat
ing that he had earned over
100000 in fifty-seven years he
offered the Secretary or anyone
else $4,000 if he could find

The News welcomes Governor Bone to Interior Alaska and to Ne mana. We are particularly pleased 10 have him with us because we feel that his coming, so soon after his arrival in Alaska, means that plans are really afoot for the adoption of an Alaskan policy that will bring relief to the Territory in the shape of federal reforms that will permit an encourage development. Even hurried trip through the country undoubtedly will convince the Gov ernor that something is needed to improve conditions, and we feel sure his early visit will help to speed those remedial measures which are so urgently needed.
The Nenana news., 1921-07-28

It would appear from the discus sion of the Anchorage telephone and light question, appearing elsewhere in this issue of The News, that the Alaskan Engineering Commission is treating all towns along the rail road alike in the matter of discon- tinuing the operation of public service plants. But there is vast difference, never the less, in the situation at Anchorage and that at Nenana. In the case of Anchorage, the town is large and prospering, with funds at hand or easily obtain able, to buy power plant outright and with sufficient population to maintain it on paying basis. But in the case of Nenana, purchase is out of the question, and operation, even on a non-rental basis, is a big undertaking, partly because of the limited population, but chiefly be- cause of the fact that the Nenana plant is not a desirable type. And in assuming the task of keeping it in operation, the people of Nenana are shouldering responsibilities of very much greater magnitude than those which Anchorage appears to have hesitated to assume.
