CONDITIONS WORSE ABROAD
THAN IN UNITED STATES

People in this country do not
begin to realize how bad conditions
are on the other side of the At.
lantic, according to Miss Lamond
who returned to Nenana this week
after an absence of nine months
a considerable part of which time
was spent in Scotland. Conditions
are bad enough in the United States,
she says, but they do not begin to
compare with what she saw abroad.
All of Scotland is in a turmoil,
with factories closed and agitators
very busy and numerous in all parts
of the country. Production is very
far below normal, large numbers of
workers are idle, and prices are
very high, with fuel and many
articles of food hard to get at any
price. Sugar and butter, for instance,
command price of six shillings
a pound (S1.5O) in Glasgow and
sales of many articles are limited.
Mrs. Lamond says she found the
people of Glasgow and other cities
in Scotland on the lookout for new
arrivals, and especially arrivals from
the United States. Americans ap-
pear to be listed as easy marks
and prices go up whenever one is
sighted. Miss Lamond had to give
up So good American dollars for
room at one of the hotels and she
found other grafters ready to take
her money at every turn.
Miss Lamond had intended to
make a long stay in the old country,
but she found conditions so upset
that she cut short her visit and
FASTENED back to Alaska, which looks
better to her than any place she
saw during her absence.
On the way back, Miss Lamond
visited with Mr.. and Mrs. Dan
Driscoll, former Fairbanksans, who
are very comfortably settled on a
little place in Oregon and, apparent
ly, very well contented. They are
building a new home for themselves.
Miss Lamond will resume her
former duties at the Southern
hotel, as housekeeper. on the first
of May.

vostok, is reported to have COM
mitted suicide as a sequel to the

RATE REDUCTIONS COMING

Rates on freight consigned to In
terror Alaska points will be reduced
from around $3.50 a ton, the pres
ent price, to within $25 ton. when
the Government railroad from tide
water to the "inside" is completed
next spring, according to an Anchor
age estimate given to the Associated
Press.
As a result, says the report, a
great deal of mining machinery will
be shipped to the Interior, and many
dredge and frozen placer areas will
be enabled to resume operations. At
present the high freight rates on
supplies and machinery make it i'm
possible to operate at a profit
For years much of the freight for
Fairbanks, Nenana, Fort Gibbon,
Ruby and other Interior points has
"been sent by teams over trails from
the seaport towns of Valdez and
.Cordova." During the summer,
''some" shipments went in by the
long water route from Seattle to
st. Michael and up the Yukon river
system, while other consignments
were billed via Seattle to Skagway,
across the mountains on the White
Pass railroad and down the Yukon
from Whtehorse.
When the railroad is completed,
time and cost will be saved. Goods
will be Skipped from Seattle to Sew
ard or Anchorage, the seaport towns
on the railroad and will be carried
by the line across the mountains to
Nenana and Fairbanks, "two In
terror points, both en- the Tanana
river, a part of the great Interior
river highway system"
Already on the portions of the
road completed mining operations
have increased. Fourteen outfits will
mine with hydraulic machinery this
year on Cache creek, three stamp
mills recently were erected on Will
low creek, and placer work on Val
dez, Green and other rich creeks
has been revived.
Government coal mines at Eska
and Chickaloon, which are connect
ed with the main railroad by a
branch line, have produced approx
mately 100000 tons piled and ready
for railroad and domestic use. The
foundation for a thousand-ton ca
pacity coal cleaning plant is being
laid at Sutton, where the Eska and
Chickaloon branches come together
and when completed the navy de-
partment will be invited to fill bunk
ers and begin distributing coal to
Pacific stations. Many new bitumi-
nous coal veins have been discover
ed by Government prospectors with
in recent weeks and these are being
developed.
Already, Alaskans who reside in
the Interior are taking the new
'steel trail'' over the mountains in
preference to the old routes out of
Cordova and Valdez. They take the
trains at Seward and Anchorage
and ride to the end Of steel. From
there they take a stage, pulled by
dog teams, or "mush' across Broad
Pass to the end of the road being
built south from Nenana Freight
also is handled via the Broad Pass,
the Government engineers having in
troduced army caterpillar tractors
which have packed down a boule-
ward in the snow between ends of

steel.
Farming along the line of the
railroad is expected to be stimulated
by completion of the line. Officials
say land settlers by the hundreds
are asking about farm lands, there
being about 100000 acres awaiting
settlement in the Matanuska valley
and in the Tanana valley, both on
the railroad. In the Tanana, No.
hard wheat is being raised and mill
ed into -four by a new plant at
Fairbanks. Mixed farming is also
proving successful.
Incoming farmers are warned that
they will have to clear the land of
small spruce and poplar growth,
without taproots. Once the land is
cleared, they are told, it will grow
every variety of hardy vegetable,
and is suitable to sheep, hog AMI
poultry raising and will prove a
splendid berry and dairying country.

WANTS LOCAL
COOPERATION

"The City of Toledo Is to be con.
graduated on the fact that concern
SO large and expansive as the Multi.
nomah Lumber &~>Box Company will
begin active operations in this vicinity
in the immediate future" said |. H.
Scott, Special Representative Of F..
N. Clark e Co., of Portland, today
The exact date the Lumber Company
will begin its logging operations, in
the Siletz forest, depends to large
extent on just how long II will take to
complete the subscription lists to the
$1,O0O,O00 issue of 1920 cumulative
preferred stock which Is now being
offered to the public exclusively
through the service of F. N. Clark &
Company. This money will be used
for the purchase of rolling stock fol
the Yaquina Northern Railroad, the
extension and completion Of that road
logging supplies and equipment ant
the erection Of one or two mills along
the line of the railroad. Plans for the
extension of the small mill now 10
Gated at Otter Rock have already been
formulated.
1T is my desire to secure The
greatest possible number of Toledo
citizens as shareholders in the Multi
nomah Lumber & Box Company, con
tinued NJ. Scott. Besides being an
excellent investment 1t Is essential
that a certain number of the share
holders in the company be residents
of this locality. 1t is rather diff
cult matter for any industry to operate
in any locality unless it has the com
plete cooperation Of the civic and
business interests in that locality.
Therefore 1t is is necessary that find
a certain number of prominent citizens
and property owners located here
who will be interested to the extent
OF cooperation in the present and fu-
ture plans Of the company. Personally
am convinced that the opening OF
the camps and mills by the lumber
and box company coupled with the
operation of the Yaquina Northern
means a great deal to this neighbor-
hood. Many new families are sure to
become residents of your city. Pay
rolls in the woods mean payrolls for
the town and general awakening
along all industrial and business lines.
My vision Is that Toledo is about to
enter upon an era Of prosperity and
growth far beyond the expectations of
the most optimistic boosters"
