TICKETS ARE DISTRIBUTED
 FOR NENANA ICE POOL

Tickets for the big annual Nenana ice pool are being distributed this week by Committeeman E. J. Cron- in and 4. St. J. McAuley, who have been induced to take charge of the necessary arrangements for the pool.
 Fifteen hundred of the tickets have been sent to Anchorage and a like number to Fairbanks, and the remainder of the 5000 printed are for general distribution. There was large demand for the tickets at Fair banks last year and it is believed interest will be greater than ever this year, owing to the fact that the event was very largely advertised throughout the territory a year ago.
 The pool, as usual, will close on April 15. :* ..: @

general costs, were more favorable then than they are at present, with the Government railroad in opera tion.
 The Government has expended up- wards of fifty millions in the con- struction of a trunk line from the coast to navigable water on the Panama river. and another several millions are about to be expended in order that the people of near by district may have the benefit of uninterrupted transportation and the privilege of landing their supplies from Seattle at a fraction of 9 cent a pound less than they were required to pay river carriers at the time the Government was first re- quested to come to the relief of h. terior Alaska shippers.
 The Government has not been asked to establish permanet tariff far under the cost of operation. But the Interior country does want and need an initial rate sufficiently low to boost development. With de- velopment will come steadily in creasing tonnage and a prosperity that will permit the exaction of normal tolls.

ARE NAMED FOR
 COUNCIL AT PUBLIC MEETING

Sixteen candidates for the City Council and three for the School Board were placed in nomination at a public meeting held at the Coliseum theater after the show on Tuesday night. The meeting was called by the present council and was directed by J. H. Scott, acting as chairman, with ". A. Coghill assisting as secretary.
 After the chairman had briefly stated the purpose of the meeting, the follwing names were placed in nomination for councilmanic honors James Cody, Tom Smith, W A Coghill, NJ. J. Cooney, Harry Davis, William J. Taylor, R. G. Southworth J. H. Flower, Alex Fowler, Henry Rappolt, Charles E. Bergman, Wm. 4. Thomas, ". H. Gilcher, A D. Thompson.
 Frank Teufel, Fred Major and Burdett Tunison were nominated for the Scnool Board.
 Mir. Cody informed The News to- day that he could not accept nomina- tion as a candidate for the council but 1t Is understood that pressure is to be brought to bear upon him to accept nomination for the school board, as a compromise.
 It is also understood that several additional names will be entered in the race for the council, largely with a view to insuring a contest between two full tickets. All candi- dates must file their names with the city clerk at least five days before election in order that their names may appear on the official ballot.

oLDTIMER BACK FROM EAST
 WHERE WINTER IS SEVERE


 S. T. Hinckley, oldtime employe of the Alaskan Engineering Com mission, who returned to town last week from a visit of several months in the States, says tehe had not been any marked improvement in conditions up to the time he left the East on his return to Alaska. He came across country from Maine by way of the Canadian National and he was surprised to see mile after mile of unthreshed grain rot ting on the ground, where it had been left after being cut. He was told the farmers had been unable to employ labor at sufficiently low wages to enable them to thresh the grain. with the result that 1t IS a total loss to them.
 MT. Hinckley also saw thousands of idle freight cars both in Canada and in the United States, most of them with a deep covering of snow, mute evidence that they had been idle during most of the winter and an indication that the railroads have not been overtaxed.
 Pulp making has taken on big proportions in Maine, according to the oldtimer. He found mills to be quite numerous in the locality where he lived many years ago, and the owners of land are getting fancy prices for timber which had no value before the introduction of the pulp making industry. The prices now, however. are not nearly so high as they were few years ago, and the wages of mill workers have been cut to the bone.
 Mir. Hinckley was surprised to find carload of Sitka spruce at Old town. where it is being used in con- nection with the manufacture of canoes.
 Mir. Hinckley came North on the steamer Northwestern and ran into real storm on the way. The ship, he says nearly capsized at one time, careening fully 32 degrees A little more and there would have been written the story of another terrible Alaska wreck But 1t would not have been the fault of uncharted waters. Numerous doors were broken in by the waves and staterooms giv- en thorough wetting.
 Speaking of weather, MT. Hinckley says he felt the cold worse in Maine than he ever did in Alaska. The temperature dropped to g degrees below zero one night where he was visiting, and 1T was even colder in other sections of the state, with a damp, piercing wind blowing in of the Atlantic, And the wind can blow there worse than at Healy, he de- clares.

The closing of the Yukon River to commercial fishing is a step in the right direction. The News is not prepared to state that any great lost of fish to natives and whites in Interior Alaska has resulted thus far from the operation of canner- ies at the mouth of the river. but continued unrestricted fishing on such large scale undoubtedly would have robbed the rivers of their salmon eventually. and for that reason Alaskans should be and are grateful to Secretary Hoover for the action taken by him.
 Why should not the fish of Alaska be given the same protection ac- corded other resources within the territory? Already the coast fishing banks have been exploited almost to the point of exhaustion, while protection and conservation have been carried to the extreme with re- gard to other resources.
 In view of these facts, it is grati- flying now 70 find a cabinet officer Eho is ready to take the word of Alaskans that conditions need rem edying.

great size of Alaska and conditions of travel are such that there never can be complete unity of thought and action within the Territory
 The majority of Alaskans, resident north and west of the Panhandle. quite naturally resent the assump- ton of dictatorship by the small group Of politicians in Southeastern Alaska and will accept a division of the Territory without serious op- position. One has only to scan the proceedings of the several sessions of the Territorial Legislature to be convinced of the need of some kind of change in boundaries, and The News is glad Southeastern Alaska has taken the initiative.
 One of the principal arguments advanced in favor of the establish ment of a low freight tariff on supplies shipped to Alaska by way of the Government railroad is that the great inland section of the Ter ritory requires substantial encour- agement to insure development. For that reason, and for none other, was the railroad enterprise launched in the first place. And it is fact that agitation for a Government owned and Government operated railroad commenced at a time when con ditions for development, as regards

This value is not in the intrinsic

Sell Those Apples

Apples are fast rotting. Soon as
possible (the next rainy day would be
q good time) why don't you look your
supply over and, after reserving
enough for your own use, carefully
pack those in good condition into box
es, barrels or baskets. There are
several ways by which you may turn
them into cash, each depending upon
the quantity to be disposed OF.
If you have barrel or less to sell,
why don't you telephone every grocery
store and market in your vicinity. 1t
is possible. at the time you first call,
that they will have a good supply on
hand If such is the case, call them
again in three or four days. Keep
this up until you find the necessary
customers. Another good way to dis
pose of small quantities is to consult
telephone directory in which there
must he several individuals with whom
YOU are familiar. Call them up,
mentioning the fact that apples will
soon be scarce and that you nave Tor
sale a few in good condition. Such
Il procedure will make the dreaded
house to house canvass unnecessary.
You may also sell your apples
through a good advertising medium
4 classified al costs very little and
brings splendid results. Recent in
yestigations conducted by the indie
pendent Reporter show that Every
body's Column is read more than any

bring the desired results.
