NENAkA NEWS

With the new marine ways taxed to their capacity with steamers and barges, the beach strewn with gas boats and the slack water below the new steel bridge crowded with other craft in winter quarters, the Nenana waterfront gives some idea of the inn portance of Nenana as shipping cen- ter. And there are at least two more boats on the river which will seek a berth upon arrival here within the next few days. One of these is the side wheel power boat Mutt, which will winter at Nenana instead of at Panama, as in the past, so as to be ready for the movement of freight down river in the early spring. The other is the little steamer Nenana, now en route up the Yukon from trip to Iditarod. And by the time spring arrives there probably will be still another boat ready to bid for it's share of river business. Sam Heeter, owner of the Mutt, plans to build a larger boat during the winter, for operation on the Tanana and Yukon rivers. and will make plans for Its construction upon his arrival here within the next few days.
 R. s. Nickerson, Presbyterian min ister of Cordova, paid his first visit to Interior Alaska this week, and re- turned to the coast on last nights train much enlightened regarding con- ditions in this section of Alaska which, he predicts, will some day take it's place among the meat producing coun- tries of the world. He has had experi- ence in several frontier countries and believes this section of Alaska will be developed and settled, just as other new countries have been in the states
 Sneak thieves are at work in the A. E. c. dormtories in Nenana, several of the occupants of quarters there having reported the loss of sums Of money lately. One of the losses is re- ported to have been close to $100.
 The girl members of the Nenana High School will continue the work started last year, of issuing a school paper. All of the work of publishing the paper will be done by the girls on the school printing plant.
 The installation of the turbine en- zine and switchboard, which were moved to Nenana from the Matanuska coal fields, for use in the local power plant, was completed recently, following a suspension of service or half a day to permit the transfer from the old system to the new. The tur- bine, which has a generator and starter direct connected occupies less floor space than one of the old en- zines, runs quietly and without vibra- tion, but the load is about all it can handle during the peak hours of the night. There will be ample power later on, however, when the second unit is installed. A new engine has been ordered and should arrive within the next few weeks. While 1t is too early to ascertain the saving in fuel that will result from the use of the turbine, it is believed the saving will

that they were CHASED back to New

Comn,igioner Whalen said he had
taken no steps TO verify Riedl's story
of being "blackjacked" because he
would not pay $4,000, which was to go
to some unidentified "big chief"
Mr.. Whalen nearly precipitated an
other rumpus when he remarked that
the Transit Commission ought TO be
able to get hold Of Riedps employees
who were CHASED back to New Jer-

NOT at all interested in that feature Of
bus operation.
Q.-Arent you interested in the dis
closure here that these men up there,
O'Neill and the Murphy estate, what
ever that may be, are getting over 100
per cent profits on the investment out
Of the 20-cent charge? A,--Not at all;
see how it is going to solve the transit
question.
Commissioner Whalen asked that
there be incorporated in the record an
address that he had made on April 16,
1921, to the bus employees in his office
admonishing them to do their work
properly. His request was granted.
He added that MIR. Whalen said
that almost any one with god bus
could get permit to run j. under
his supervision, and rnat the license
from the state was all the certificate
of efficiency or character that his de-
rartment needed as evidence that the
applicant was qualified to run bus
Asked why for the last two years his
department. had not required individual
bus owners to pay per cent Of earn
ings, as it is proposed to do now, Mr..
tic up the city in any way with per-
nit Of that sort. He was going to
comply with the law which exacts the
s per cent. 1t came out that the Fifth
Avenue Coach Company pays the city
$26b.000 q year for use of city streets,
while the busses under Mr.. Whalen
have not been paying anything.
Dummy Ownership Defended
Dummy ownership, sucn as enjoyed
by John A. Mccarthy, Mayor Hylan's
i
treasurer, was not bad thing, In the
judgment of the commissioner.
Mr.. Whalen said he had used an
order dismissing all bus men who did
not register or vote last year, and be-
lieved he did right, basing his action on
civic pride.
Q.-Can the civic pride of the Cont
missioner be party to such thing
as this Tom O'Neill-Arthur Murphy
estate transaction that you heard this
afternoon? Al told you / was not
at all interested in that.
Q.-That does not touch your civic
pride at all? A.--No.
Q.---And don't you think that hav-
ing 100 to 200 per cent profit UP there
on Il $4,000 investment, or 20-cent
fare, with the kind of service they are
giving in West Farms, touches the in
terests OF the people Of that region?
A.-No, because the Commissioner Of
Plant and Structures at the present
time is constructing trackless trolley
route in that territory which will soon
wipe out both bus lines.
Much time was given by Commits
sioner Whalen and Mr.. Shearn to the
installation Of the busses on Septem-
ber 10, at which time Louis Riedl, with
the full cooperation Of Mayor Hylap
and Deputy Commissioner of Public
Works Guider of Brooklyn, obtained u
permit to operate busses in Manhat-
tan. Previously on two occasions Riedl
had operated 200 or 225 buses to re-
leve traffic during surface-car strikes,
and he did 1t In manner to win the
thanks cs Mayor Hylan. The record Of
Riedps getting his permit from the
hoard of Estimate and preparing to
operate busses on September were ira
versed in detail.

SHANTUNG SOLUTION
IS URGED BY HARDING
Believes 1t Vital to Settlement
on Far East.
Special Dispatch TO The NEW YORK HERALD.

Washington, ID. C.. Jan. 10. /


New York Herald Bureau
Washington, ID. C., Jan. 10.
Shantung projected itself to-day
into the Conference for the Limitation
of Armament as an all important ele-
ment In bringing about settlement Of
the Far Eastern question.
1t was stated authoritatively at the
White House that President Harding
hopes the Shantung problem will be
solved here. He made it known he has
not been asked to mediate the Difficult
ties between China anc Japan that are
involved,
At the same time it was announced
that the Chinese and Japanese will re-
new their conversations" Tomorrow
but the question of the control of the
Shantung Railroad will be avoided.
Collateral issues. such as ownership
OF mines, etc, will be discussed. so that
everything else will be out of the way
for final settlement of the railroad
question. IL one can be reached later.
Representatives of Secretary Hughes
and of Arthur ]. Balfour have been In
frequent consultation with both Japa-
nese and Chinese delegates in an effort
to suggest a new formula.
The announcement that the President
regards the settlement of the Shantung
question as important to the success of
the conference is significant. because
up to this time the American Govern
ment and the American delegation have
been careful not to express official in
terest in the direct conversations be-
tween China and japan.
There has been feeling that Japan

tion. 1t has become apparent that the
American delegation will not regard
settlement Of the Far Eastern question
as having been reached at all IL the
Shantung matter is left unsettled.
Up to this tima the Japanese delega-
tion has done much by its attitude on
the naval limitation program to allay
suspicion OF an aggressive imperialistic
policy in the Orient, but experts say
that accomplishment will be nullified by
unwillingness TO reach satisfactory
agreement in Shantung, in Manchuria
and I'm Siberia.
Judges Of American public opinion are
insistent that without such satisfac-
tory settlement Ii will be impossible to
obtain ratification by the Senate of the
four Power Pacific treaty abrogating
the Anglo-Japancse alliance. or of the
proposed nine Power Far Eastern
agreement.

delegation, said: eve have not yet
