HARDING WANTS TO KNOW
 WHAT IS WRONG IN ALASKA

Under date of June 2s, the Los Angeles contained an exclusive dis patch from Washington, in which 1t was stated: "Rumor has it here to- day that Congressional leaders may find a way to adjourn in August, and thus leave President Harding free to make a journey to Alaska. With tariff and tax legislation before them, Congress has two big jobs on it's hands. If they succeed in finish ing them in time to allow the Chief Executive to get away they will break a record.
 Tt is known that President Hard ing wants to find out at first hand something about the northwestern Territory, for it is said to be in a bad way, the belief being that war ring interests in the Territory are responsible for unsettled conditions, ard far the heavy loss of population
The Nenana news., 1921-07-28
Trouble Oozes Out

Tt was suggested not long ago that Congress, before long, probably would be compelled to look into Alaska. Representative Madden, of Illinois, intimated in speech in the House when the Alaska railroad appropriation was under discussion, that there was not entire satisfac- tion with the way things were go- ing in the Northwest, and a further intimation was that the Government built, Government-owned and Gov ernment-operated railroad was not the bowling success that its promo ters said that it would be.
 If President Harding goes to Alaska he will get an opportunity to hear both sides of a controversy from residents who do not have an opportunity to visit Washington to lay their information before the committees of Congress. There are factions in the Territory which have been at odds for years. Selfshness, it is said, is at the bottom of some of the troubles.
The Nenana news., 1921-07-28
Rivalries Harmful

There are rivalries in Alaska be- tween towns on the line of the rail road and the towns which have, or are supposed to have, harbor facil- ities. -den who seem to know about the situation say that the only thing that can be done is to take harsh measures to see to it that trade needs are given first considera- tion, with no attention paid to the desires of this man or that man that his property interests shall be benefited at the expense of the com mercial interests of Alaska and the United States.
 Recently there have been further rumors that Congress eventually may do something to straighten out Alaskan matters following the hear ings which already have been held on general Alaska subjects, and fol lowing also on the accumulation of information which has drifted in and which may be authentic. If the President will go to Alaska, however, action on the Territory's needs probably will wait his return and his recommendations.
 It may be that Secretary of the Interior Fall will go to Alaska if the President does not go. In the De- partment of the Interior there are piled up good many Alaskan re- ports which, if studied, with view to throwing out opportunities and to keeping of the hubs of things. might throw light today on the real situa- tion.
 ''So far as the Government rail road is concerned, there are intima- tions that 1t is going to cost a great deal more to complete than it at first was thought would be the case. The last dollar of the continuing appro- priation originally voted has been granted and the understanding is that if the road is to be completed more money must be voted.
 Way back in what may seem now to be the dark ages, the Alaska rail road was projected. There were in timations at the time that the route selected was not the best possible. but that if it were laid out some where else certain great business fn- terests might benefit at the expense of the Alaskan people and of the people of the States as well.
 How true this was is rather hard to tell, but one Of the charges now
The Nenana news., 1921-07-28

is that the railroad does not tap the territory which can produce freight enough to keep it going.
 "The main thing today is that Alaska is still in danger of losing more of it's population unless some thing is done to better conditions. Scott c. Bone, who has just been appointed Governor of the Territory, has no small job on his hands. He knows the Alaskan situation pretty thoroughly. He will have to be a patient man and a discerning man in office. He will be obliged to listen to controversial arguments and he will have to bend his best mind to the task of determining who is in the right.
 Alaska is rich in resources. The thing Is to get them out. In order to get them out they must be cut, dug and produced. The economic situa- tion must be known definitely, and the political situation must be known well enough to clear it up before the great northwestern Territory can fulfill its destiny"

NEW STAFF HAS ARRIVED
