fact that The Last Warning" brought

The Nenana news., 1922-02-16

Inadvisable to wait for suggested new freight tariff, as impossible to determine when these matters will be finally approved here.
 MEARS, Chairman
 The following letter from En- gineer in Charge Fred'k D. Browne, regarding the ceremony of driving the last spike, was then read but no action was taken. It is expected that this matter will be taken up at future meeting of the club and decision arrived at. Nenana cer- tainly will take a prominent part in the ceremony and pageant on that occasion.
 The letter referred to, addressed to the secretary of the club, follws: Your favor of January 9, 1922, relative to the ceremony and pro- posed pageant to commemorate the driving of the last spike on the Gov ernment railroad, has been received. "On the same date you wrote your letter, a wire was sent to Mir. Southworth, of The Nenana News, apprising him of Col Mears' opinion as to the proper time for this cere- mony.
 'It appears that Secretary Fall, for a certainty, and President Hard ing, for a possibility, will be with us during the coming season, to inspect the road and to get better acquaint- ed with Alaskan conditions.
 Ut would seem as though that would be the proper time to have this celebration. I am aware that a very different sort of pageant would ! be necessary and that We could not take advantage of sleighing or sled ding as part of the ceremony, but it seems to me that one of the main advantages in having a summer cere- monial is to avoid perpetuating the snow of Alaska It may be that nov ing pictures and certainly many other pictures will be taken of this attraction and 1t might be just as well that summer scenes were shown. This, of course, is not the most i'm portant feature.
 Colonel Mears has referred to visits from Outsiders and doubts very much if we would have a large attendance in April. This is quite important. I believe that some affair that would take place in June or July would attract great number from the Outside, thus contributing largely to the success that we all wish to make Of this ceremony.
 "'You have asked me to give you all the information at hand, regard ing these proposed ceremonies, and am complying when I state what I have just said. No arrangements other than those noted have been made; no details of whatever kind nave been discussed, and it is my suggestion that we wait with what patience we may, until Colonel 1 Mears returns from Washington or until further advices reach us from his hands.
 3 "The hearty cooperation from all communities tributary to the rail road is very much appreciated. An chorage, as well as Nenana, is talk ing very active patr to make this ceremony a success and the railroad l will appreciate naturally every as sistance that can be given to per petuate the ceremony, attendant up on the completion of the railroad !. which means so much to all Alaskans : With very best wishes for youl , Club and for Nenana, 1 wish to re. : main,
 Yours respectfully, "s. EpEDyY n ppOUN-T

COMMERCIAL CLUB WORKING
 FOR LOWER FREIGHT RATES


 4 meeting of the Nenana Com mercial Club was held last night 8: Union Hall for the purpose of dis cussing and taking appropriate ac- ton in matters relating to the vel fare and development of Interior Alaska
 Charles and Matt Matich, late ar ricals from the coast, who are about to engage in business in Nenana, were added to the club membership.
 The following telegram, relative to the proposed new freight rate to Nenana and Fairbanks was read:
 Washington, D. C., Feb. II Commercial Club,
 Nenana, Alaska
 The Pacific and Alaska Steam ship companies are demanding for water haul share on through freigats Interior Alaska fifteen dollars to Seward and seventeen dollars to An chorage, the entire rate on groceries being forty-two dollars to Nenana and Fairbanks. This is holdup for the highest wartime and present rates, despite the fact that their wage scale has been greatly reduc- ed, also cost of fuel oil and all com modities that enter into repairs, sup plies and alteration expenses. In addition thereto, they have each re- ceived about sixty thousand dollars as mail subsidy, which is about fifty thousand in excess of what they have been receiving each year.
 l suggest that the merchants and miners of Fairbanks and Nenana pool their freight shipments and ask for bids from independent boats, San Francisco, Portland or Seattle to Seward. Steam schooners are car rying freight from Californai to Puget Sound for three dollars per ton and I believe they would carry your freight for about half what the Seattle-Alaska companies are asking The time to destroy the Alaska freight monopoly is when the rail- road is ready to carry freight and I believe that the possible saving on freight rates warrants a strenuous fight Alaska is the only spot on the globe to which ocean rates have not been reduced since the war. Will do anything in my power at this end. DAN SUTHERLAND

 The following telegram from Col. F.

Herbert bore much more than this;
he had seated himself on the third

he could. Once, however, they got

when Cousin Virginia said:

you make up that terrible falsehood
about Mr. Crum? And think of it;
right on the same page with your

incoherent but loud, and expressive of
a supreme revulsion. The shocked
audience readily understood that he

nor Cousin Florence's poem.

Herbert controlled himself. 1t
could be seen that his spirit was not
broken, even when Aunt Fanny
mourned, shaking her head at him,
smiling ruefully:
"Oh, if boys could only be girls !"
Herbert just looked at her.
"The worst thing" said his father
that is, if there's any part of it
that's worse than another-the worst
thing about it is this about Noble

"and the Dill family are all very much

and he had copy of this awful paper
that little Florence had given him"
"Who gave it to him?" Aunt Fanny
asked. "Who?"
