"a AVERAGEAGE

SEVERAL WOMEN
OF 40 MARRIED

When has a Wilmington girl
reached her zenith In her power TO
fascinate?
Many are the opinions which have
been aired on this question. IN
some Of the larger cities II would
seem the age when young women
IS the most attractive and fascinat
ing. IS greater than IN the smaller
cities and rural communities. For
instance among the pretty young
women of "movie" fame, the age
has been set at %.
However, TO answer the question
in a careful study OF the marriage
record kept by the City Board OF
Health shows that there have been
eighty-three brides this June. The
average age Of this bevy OF young
women, is about "a. In this list
there is quite a scattering Of brides
of about 80 years. In addition there
are several women around 40 years.
When a woman has reached this
age. she is usually classed as an also

ed. However Cleopatra, It will be
remembered did her pesI olt oA

The men seem 20 like single bless

avrage age OF this list of June bride
grooms IS from 2S to 80, showing
that they hesitate sometime before
taking the plunge. In looking over
the files OF the board for marriages
Of June about ten years ago, the
bridegrooms showed even greater
discretion than they did this June.
The brides. on the other hand, aver

Of course there are exceptions to
all the averages. Some brides and

large and representative gather ing of Nenanaites met at Union hall recently in response to a call issued by the Nenana Commercial Club for the purpose of discussing the contem- plated establishment of the Fort Gib- bon army post at Nenana. Dr. J. R. Bowen presided, with Bob Toussaint acting as secretary.
 sAfter briefly outlining the object of the meeting, the chairman introduced Lieut.. Harold D. Stetson, post quarter master who had been specially in vited by the organization to address the meeting and give some facts and figures as well as other information regarding ,tr, proposed move, which is backed by the commercial organiza- tions of both Nenana and Fairbanks.
 Lieut.. Stetson said that for some time past the question of the feasibil- ity of abandoning the present post at Fort Gibbon, and moving the troops to Nenana, had been under discussion The completion of the Government railroad, which completely revolution izes the, matter of supply and trans portati9n. brought the question to a head, with the result that, in com muni& &tion recently addressed to the comnanding general of the Ninth CoVbs Area, at Fort Mason San Fran Aefsco, the commanding officer of the post at Fort Gibbon, recommended
 that the present post at Fort Gibbon be abandoned and the troops moved to Nenana, or, as an alternative, that suppliy depot be maintained at Ne mana for the territory served by the post. ie, the Tanana and Yukon rivers and their tributaries.
 The completion of hte Government railroad from Seward to Nenana, mak- ing possible the landing of freight from Seattle at Nenana in an average of 12 days, coupled with the fact that group of buildings, which will serve admirably, the purpose of a military post, will soon be available, merely in volving transfer from the interior to the war department, has made the contemplated troop movement highly desirable from an economic point of

GOOD BUSINESS

TIE ADDITION Of the Starr to the iNtE2 Alaskan service as the mail car rier and vehicle to meet transporta- tion needs of the Alaskan Peninsula Aly1tian Islands and Bristol Bay re- gions is a movement in the right di- reotion in Territorial development. It is the result of praiseworthy co-opera- tion between the postoffice depart ment and those interested in North ern progress. This new steel steamer will serve a people who have long suffered on account of inadequate mail and transportation facilities.
 The announced poplicy of Postmas- ter General Hays to use the mail ser, vice wherever possible in aiding to meet the transportation needs in Alas ka is constructive work of the right sort. The previous policy to hold down the expenses Of the Post office depart ment down to the lowest point possi- ble to meet the absolute necessities was probably all right during the war when the people of every section of the nation were being called upon to spare all they could to support the ";,r-when people in every walk and station of life were being asked to

-s<ANANA's FREIGHT BILL

o Several million dollars have been taken from the Panama and interior Alaska and most of it has gone into freight bills.
 The government railroad now pro- poses to make a base rate of $45 per ton fr0lh reattle to Fairbanks, which will cut the freight bill in half.
 Only those who have lived and trans acted business in the Interior can ap- preciate what great boon reduced rates will be for encouraging indus trial development and progress.
 For the past several years the "traf- fic has cost more than the country could bear"
 Aside from the farmi~~
 unable to get machinery and supplies, vast deposits of low grade placer and dredging and hydraulic ground has re- mained unworked. as well as much richer ground which the owners could afford to hold until the railroad was ccn.hleted.

 view at least, effecting a saving of more than quarter of a million dol lars in the cost of maintaining a gar rison.
 Army equipment and supplies am bunting to from 1900 to 15O0 tons an- nually is freighted in to the post at
 where it is checked u~ and later distributed as required, to the far-flung posts maintained by the army on the Yukon and Tanana rivers This freight, in.former years, came in by way of St. Michael and Skagway every spring, from which points it was carried by the two steamers maintain ed by the department, but henceforth this freight will be hauled over the Government railroad and landed at Nenana, and, unless the post is estab- lished here, will necessitate the en- ployment of large force of men for handling, storing and reshipping it prior to it's final distribution, the cost of which will be greatly in excess of the saving effected in the freightage charges.
 The buildings at Neanna are a com plete unit which will accommodate 15O men and include barracks, messhall hospital, commissary, stables, shops, dock, and warehouse facilities-elec- tric lights, steam heat, running water and all modern facilities. There are also ample and good quarters for the 1Fi'ers. of whom there are six at the present at Fort Gibbon.
 The buildings at Fort Gibbon are old and rundown considerably, two of the barrack buildings have been con- demned, necessitating new buildings; also there are 50 buildings in the old post as compared with about 15 in the proposed Nenana unit which could handle the post more efficiently and with much less cost.
 Some of the items of saving. as re- called by the lieutenant from his files are: wood for fuel, s60,OOO, present cost, whereas, in Nenana, there is an unlimited quantity of coal available which is cheaper and more efficient than wood, besides which the Nenana buildings are heated by exhaust steam from the general power plant.
 Gas and oils used at Fort Gibbon to maintain lighting plant, cost s1S,- 000 In Nenana lights would be fur nished by the central plant already in operation
 The saving in freight would be about $S5,OOO.
 There are at the post about 22 child ren of school age, and the educational facilities available there are woefully inadequate.
 After the question had been discuss CN Ct oOAllC iCHSIIl, tub meeting went on record as favoring the transfer from Fort Gibbon to Nenana, and a committee was appointed to cooper ate with Lieut..

four Will Meet the Delegations
Next Monday.

Washington, Jan. 9.-The Japanese
and Chinese delegates, after a final
lengthy session, gave up all hope of
reaching an agreement on the terms
of the return of the Kiaochou-
rsinanfu railway and brought to an
end their conversations on the Shan
tung question. Restoration of the
railway to China is the very heart Of
the whole problem.
Secretary Hughes and Arthur Bal

the negotiations had been carried on.
were called in by both delegations
to mediate. Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Bal
four, it was announced by MananaO
iIanihara, of the japanese delegation
will meet with the two delegations
Monday.
Mr.. Hanihara stated that his delega-
ton made its final proposal. The
terms of this proposal, he declared,
represented the full length to which
instructions from Tokyo permitted
them to go.
Under these terms, title TO the rail-
way would be transferred to China
in return for cash payment to be
made out of a loan accepted from
Japan. The loan would run for Is
years, but with an option to China to
pay it off any time after five and a
half years. Japan would retain con-
troll of the management of the line
through the retention of japanese ma
liOnals as traffic managers and chief
accountant. The demand for chief
engineer was relinquIshed:
China has insisted upon acceptance
of cash payment without involving a
loan from Japan. She made an alter
native offer, however, to make the
payments in instalIments extending
over period of 10 years, with an
option TO pay all of the balance any
time after three years. The alterna-
tive proposal likewise did not include
acceptance of a japanese loan.
Mr. Hanihara asserted that the pro-
posed retention by Japan of a financial
interest and operating control of the
railway were necessary to protect
japanese interests in the territory
served by the road. He pleaded, too
that the arrangement be proposed
was the same as China had made
i'm a number of other instances.
