CHRONIC FAULTFINDERS
One of the principal occupations
of the chronic faultfinder is i
* criticize the newspapers. even
though they are aski. 't for and re
ceiving favors from them at the
same time.
Telling the owners how to run
them is a favorite hobby with
them. *• ----—
!n spite of tho. fact that news
papers are great community lead
ers, in spite of the fact that they
have done more than anyone else
for tb’e betterment of the home
city, in spite of the fact that they
are day by day fighting the bat
tles of the home city and that
they are the ones who make a city
progresss faster, in spite of the
fact that if they were not there
lighting the city would move back j
so fust that in a short time there j
would be no city, people continue ,
ro find fault with them.
No newspaper can please :i!i i
the people all the time.
Nothing ran please all the p'-o- |
pie in any city. Kvery city ha-,|:i
few people who make it a busi
ness to like nothing that la done,
by the progressive people; thp£
are jnst natural horn kickers. To
Ignore them is the best policy.
Newspapers are business Institu
tion; some people think, they are
charitable institutions, while oth
ers think the publishers run them
for tbe pleasure they get out of
it.—Fairbanks News-Miner.

ART ACTIVITIKH
A full crew is busily engaged!
In ’ construction work, on the new
airplane field being built at Nome.
The field at present Is about twen
ty-three hundred feet Ion*, and
the fleet of trucks for some time
past has been resurfacing and fill
ing in low places. It Is expect
ed soon that this work will be
completed and then the trucks will
be put on the end of the field
again and extension will commence
once m,ore
Considerable bridge repair is be
ing carried forward. Several
bridges in Solomon and Big Hur
rah section will be repaired nnd
ol allowing piling and other mat
of alolwing piling land other mat
erial to be carired out In the spring
by the ice movements.
work is going anead, it. Is re
ported on the construction of camp
sites on the Snake River road,
where the road building crew will
be placed when the field is comr
pleted.
On the tramroad considerable
activity is, marked. One railroad
crew is handling repairs to bridg
es along the tracks and repair
ing weak places. * Another crew
considerably larger, Is laying track
al the end of the road, on the new
extension to the Kougarok tram
road which is to carry the tracks
fifteen miles closer to the Kou
garok.
With Alaska Road Commission
equipment making dally trips dp
the line with supplies, and three
other freighting outfits transport
ing freight and supplies along the
track 'and into the miners in the
Kougarok section, a great.^deal of
work and development is assured.
Miners in the hills are now getting
supplies which ordinarily they
would have to wait for for some |
time.
Development erf mining in sec
tions along the tramroad and
then from the ends of the tracks
into the Kougarok, has received n
great Impetus this summer.. The
price of gold now makes It en
tirely feasible to promote and mine
ground ijrhich In the past would
have resulted only In a loss to the
miner due to the excesslbly high }
freight rates. Individual mining
has experienced a period of rejuv
enation which, it is believed will
continue for some years to come. '
With the extension of the tram
road fifteen'' miles, another step
nearer has been accomplished, or
rather is being accomplished, to
ward following out the proposed
program of the Northwestern Al
aska CJiamher of Commerce In
pushing forward the proposal of
a railroad connecting the Kougar
ok section with Nome. It is hop
ed and. will be very much apprec
iated, if such conies true, that
following the completion of this
extension, enough funds through
appropriations may be obtained, j
to complete the plan advanced
several years ago. The Kougar
ok section which today, under the
new price of gold, is rich it# pros
pects for individual and large
scale mining operations should be I
developed as rapidly as possible.
Construction of a tramroad. as
promoted by the Northwestern Al
aska Chamber of Commerce would
do much toward opening up this
valuable region.
