URGES ROAD NEED;
 COMMISSION TO INVESTIGATE

The need of a wagon road to expedite the development of farm lands south of and adjacent to Ne mana, having been called to the at tention of the Alaska Road Commis- sion by the Nenana city council. resulted this week in the receipt Of assurances that the matter would be fully investigated. The matter was taken up with Col. Steese, chairman of the commission, on the occasion of his brief visit to Nenana last week, and referred by him to Major Gotwals, engineer officer, who arriv- ed from the coast on Saturday. The major has assured the council that he will detail Superintendent Flaw ley W. Sterling to inspect the road leading to the cemetery which will be part of the proposed highway, and report on it's condition and probable cost of the necessary repairs with a view to taking action toward put ting II m shape for trafhc. The funds available for road work in this dis trict are limited and it is suggested by Major Gotwals that portion of the expense incident to the work be borne locally, but the council takes the view that inasmuch as the road is purely in the nature of develop ment project, to open up the farm ing area adjacent to the railroad, the needed money should be pro vided by the Government.
 Superintendent Sterling Is absent on a tour of inspection in the Hot Springs and Kantishna districts at present and will not return until the latter part of July, when 1t is probable he will give his attention to the work.

Eight grading contracts and one contract for the supply of piling for the Healy bridge have been let by the Alaska Railroad and the work of building the spur to the mines Of the Healy River Coal Corporation has been commenced in earnest. The grading work, it is estimated, will be completed by the middle of Sep tember. The bridge will be of pile construction and of a temporary character, much the same style of bridge that formerly spanned the Nenana river at Mile 371. The spur to the coal mine will leave the main line at point about half mile north of Healy.

ATTORNEY BACK
 TO MAKE HOME IN ALASKA

Among the passengers arriving in Nenana on the Saturday train from the coast was Attorney Harry Pratt, who is returning to his f;rmer home in Fairbanks to take up his per manent residence there.
 Mir. Pratt is returning to Alaska after an absence of three years in the States. two of which were spent in the Texas oil fields and one in New York, where ne rracticcd his profession. Mir. Pratt also travelled to some extent and, as a result of the experience ganed while in the States, he has come to the conclu- sion that Alaska Is the best place after all, even to: attorneys.
 After graduating some years ago, Mr. Pratt practicrd law in Fair banks, n partnership with his father. Louis K. Pratt and during the Dem ocratic regime, he held an appoint ment as assistant district attorney, relinquishing that position to go Out side three years ago. It is his in- tention to again join his father in the law business. in Fairbanks.
 Conditions in the States, generally speaking, are getting back to norm- al, Mir. Pratt says. This is partivd- larly true of the West. where he found business fairly good ia nearly all lines.
 The outlook for Alaska, in the opinion of the attorney, is very encouraging, with the territory re- ceiving favorable attention in all sections of the country. Even in far-away New York. he says. he found that Alaska was being very much discussed, whereas, he only occasionally heard the territory men tioned in the Eas: three years ago.

Writing from Judsonia, Arkansas,

Writing from Judsonia, Arkansas, Ira Ball, well known former Inter iorite, says that life in the States is not what it is cracked up to be, or words to that effect. On the sub ject of eats, his language is to the point. He says the poorest people in Alaska live much better than the richest in Arkansas. He will soon be on his way to the Pacific coast and hints that he may return to Alaska before very long.

WHY THE CHANGEl

A land bursting with wealth, easy
money" with bank vaults quivering
with gold awaiting investment--this
was the picture OF the United States
drawn graphically by Senator McCum-
Der In urging the Soldiers Bonus bill
upon the Senate. Apparently the
North Dakotan can change the him on
his mental silver sheet overnight.
During the tariff debate he spoke OF
the dank and dismal business depres-
sion that had fallen upon thescountry
and the need OF high protective
tariff to put us all in the golden sun
light Of prosperity. A few months ago
he said the hard-pressed farmers OF
the Northwest were nearly bankrupt.
Why this sudden shift OF base? Why
tell the Senate how lightly the burden
of taxation sits upon the people of the
country compared to Great Britain
and France and Germany? Why
glory in the dazzling figures OF our
national wealth and the impressive
way in which we are reducing our ma.
tional debt? According to the Nc
Cumber philosophy, we are all beins
taxed so lightly that we ought Il
thank Washington for letting us OF
so easy. The Bonus bill Is mere
| bagatelle: IL will not add more thar
$40 900, 900 TO our budget for 1924

UNCHALLENGED FREEDOM.

President Harding is on absolutely
sound and unbeatable ground when
he asserts the right OF free men to
the protection of the government In
the exercise of their right to engage
in legitimate occupations.
That same unchallenged freedom
which permits you and your associ-
ates to decline to work Is no less the
heritage OF the free American who
chooses to accept employment under
the terms proposed The difference
between the positions is that the strik-
ing railroad workers exercise their
rights of freedom in seeking 10 hinder
the necessary transportation of the
country, Notwithstanding the provi-
sion made by law for the considera
ton Of any just grievance, and the
striking miners seek to prevent the
production of coal necessary TO com
mon welfare, notwithstanding the of.
fer OF an agency TO make an impair
tial settlement, while the men wht
choose to work in response TO the cal
OF the country are exercising their Xix,
rights, and at the same time are max
ing their contribution to our common
American welfare"
There can be no doubt whateve
that In UNFOLDING the policy he cnun
ciated in that statement the American
people will support the President t
the uttermost. Newark Post.

,rywide labor troubles. >with bitter
strikes and their accompanying dis
turbances and an interruption to

labor as well as capital. The prevail

Labor Day Is somewhat misleading

Il Ia devoted. Rather Is II lahor's day
An occasion for cessation from active
woric for the purpose of giving con-
siderat.on TO labors interests and af-
fording rest and recreation 10 those
who work for their living. And 1t IL
we'll 70 have such day each year, foi
labor may appropriately seek an oc
caslon for consideration and retro,

view OF improving It's condition there

There Is much for labor to consider
thoushtfully and seriously, this year
II IS hoped the story OF today will show
that Il has considered we'll and wisely
and that the results OF Its delioera

the people and OF the country in gen

PUTTING UP THE STOVE.
copyr,rhs 1914 by Edgar A Quest


When was but n little lad.
An old base burner stove we rad,
A stove which wore nickel front
And many a shiny door:
Upon It's top there stood king.
A cold and Gltstening metal thing.
I'll swear that sturdy monarch weigh
ed
Full nifty pounds or more.
All summer long that stove reposed
Within closet enugly closed.
With miles OF stove pipe tucked away,
The monarch OFF his throne:
Then came that autumn night when
Dad
Would say: 81 guess It's time. my lid.
To put tho coal stove up once more,
The autumn days have flown.
"Now everyone of you must do
Exactly as I tell you 10.
Wen roll 1t In without miss
And stand 1t over there.
Then while you give the doors a ew1pc,
I'll very quickly Joint the pipe
And you can hand 1t up TO me
When ! am on the chair"
And then we'dNras and haul and tug
And rumple up the parlor rug,
With last years SCOT In Fathers eyee
And ears and nose and hair.
But then the elbows wouldn't ft,
SO Dad would stop and rest a bit,
And th6K the whole shebang collapsed
And knocked him from his chair.
He skinned his knuclxiec and HE nose
And dropped the king upon his toes
He grunted sweated tuggcd and
ewore,
And went to work anew.
| And when at last the job wac dosc
He'd say 10 me: We'll, that, my eon
Shows iuet how precious patience is,
And just what it will do"
! But everything In time must pass.
That heavy king of hamm red bras
Has toppled from his winter throne,

But with the first chill autumn day,
I think OF Dad. who used TO say:
