Fairbanks Is to
Have Its Own
Flouring Mill
“The Tanana valley is to have a
flour mill in full operation next fall
anti thus a new industry will be add
ed to the interior," said Governor
Riggs last night, lie then proceeded
to explain how thirty-five formers had
arranged to plant r>00 acres of land in
wheat next spring and hoped to pro
duce a minimum of 2,000 barrels of
flour.
"I have guaranteed to secure a mill
for them next year,” said the Gover
nor, “but just how I will do it I have
not ns yet figured out." He did state,
however, that he would make his
promise gooil even if he had to pur
chase the mill himself
While in that section Governor
Riggs arranged with the neighboring
towns to purchase this home product,
which can be sold $5 a barrel cheaper
than the flour brought in from the
States.

ANCHOUAOU. Oct. 5.—War. with
its consequent effect of drawing young
men to the colors, Is resulting in the
rapid increase In the number of wo
men employes in the offices of the
government railroad. And with the
constant addition of feminine work
ers. the problem of housing them had
to he given consideration by officials
of the Alaska Knglneering commis
sion.
Four large two-story buildings, pe
titioned into rooms for either one or
two tenants, have been in use for
Imchelar quarters for men since the
commission began (he construction of
the government railroad. Until very
recently, no housing provision was
necessary for women employes be
cause there were only a few of them
and practically all of these lived at
home witli relatives. Of late, how
ever. so many women, who have been
engaged as clerks or stenographers
to take the places of men in the of
flees of the commission, either have
come from the States or have exper
ienced the breaking up of their homes
here because their men folks joined
the army that the question of suit
aide quarters for women workers de
manded an answer.
Accordingly, the commission has
just turned over to women employes
tile large dwelling house formerly or
copied hi (‘olom-l Frederick Mears,
who was the member of the commis
sion for the Anchorage division and
who is now in France in command
of the 31st regiment of engineers,
United Stales army.
Soon after the dwelling was vacated
by Colonel Mears last winter, it was
occupied as bachelor quarters by a
number of young men employed by
the commission With one or two ex
ceptions. all of these either have gone
or are going to war.
The young women who have now
taken the dwelling are chaperoned by
Mrs C. O. Jones, whose husband is
a captain with the 31st engineers.
Captain Jones, before he joined the
army, was roadmaster on the govern
ment railway He was known from
one end of the line to the other as
“Hurry Up" Jones.
