of the commission on training camp
activities, was interviewed with re
gard to the present situation of our
overseas forces.
i "The problem presented by the

two million men three thousand miles
front home is one which will tax all
our social resources." said Mr. Fos

"The $170,000,000 raised in the re-j

used precisely to bridge over this pe

NENANA SAYS I
SMELTER IS A
POSSIBILITY
In his address delivered at the Com- :
mercial ('lull smoker Saturday night,!:;
Frederick 1). Brown, engineer in];:
charge of the Fairbanks division of ::
the Alaskan engineering commission, :•
made mention of the possibilities of •:
Nenana distrisct for the establishing :•
of a large smelter to serve the needs j:
•if a very large section of Interior j •:
Alaska. Fuel In abundance, as well | :•
as the other necessary material for I •:
the successful operation of a smelter, j£
is readily obtainable in the Nenana j£
and adjacent mining districts, and he |
thought that steps should he taken £
immediately to bring the matter to £
tlie attention of the proper authori-1 £
ties at Washington and early action £
urged. Nenana. Mr. Browne thought,, £
was the proper place for the estab- ! i:j
lb! ment of the smelter. | £
The advantages to he gained for £
Nenana and Ihe whole of the Interior £
mining districts by securing the £
onelter are incalculable, he said, and £
would be a sure and certain means of £
V
ihe rapid development of the mineral £
resources of Interior Alaska on a scale £
iiitherto undreamed of. Coincident £
with the building of Ihe smelter here. ! £
Ihe building of branch railroad lines i £
to the ore-producing districts will be £
it necessity, giving employment to a £
great many men. who will later be j •:•
come permanent residents and help in
the development of Alaska ,\tr. ■£
Browne has kept in close touch with £
the mining situation, and said that £
full advantage should he taken of thej£
fact that Nenana is the divisional : £
headquarters for the government rail j £
road and is also situated in the heart j £
>f a highly mineralized belt, embrae-; £
ng the Knntishna, Totnlanika. Hot , v
springs, Tatiana. Kuskokwim and
itlier districts, and that full advan- £:
age should be taken of this also to s:
boost for the smelter. With the es- j :£
aldishmerit of the smelter, other im- £:
[lortiint industries of a permanent | :v
•haraeter are bound to spring up, in-;;:;
Hiring Nenana's future greatness. ::::
I'oiieerted action was the keynote of )
Mr. Browne's remarks, and action, ho!:':
laid, should not be delayed a moment. I :•:
Nenana's opportunity ts at hand. "If j £
y ou can not he a booster, don’t be a |£
knocker,” said Mr. Brow n<\ Vhose i £
whole-hearted support In any project 1 £
with the development of the eoun- <
try's resources as the object In view. "
can always he counted on.
«f is thr* intention of the govern
ini'iit, Mr Browne said, lo control puli
lie utilities for the public welfare, and !,
tile way they have administered the j
affairs of such public utilities in the
States, as the railroads, telegraph, ca
ble and radio service, etc., has demon
strated the fact that the public who
are affected by these utilities are
much better served and derive more
benefit trem them. A government
owned or government - controlled
smelter would lie the proper thing
Tor die Interior, he said, and a square
tieal in tile matter of rates can then
in* calculated on. The present admin
istration is very friendly to Alaska,
and the country has no greater friend
than Secretary of the Interior Lane,
who is ever ready to listen to any
reasonable proposition that would
benefit the Northland.
t oal, lime, silica and the other ma
terials that are needed for the suc
• essfnl operation of a smelter can
I c obtained in abundance in this dis
• rift, and in the near-by mining dis
II ids. and it is up to the progressive
pirils here to dig up the, evidence ol
'his and lay it before the proper an
'huritics at Washington, with a re
ques- for a smelter, and good is bound
to result.
I'ci.erful c iipnsltion from the big in
tereq. will lie encountered, lie said
"id the effort put forth by Nenana
ues mu ; lie s'eady and persistent
Temporary set-backs, failures and dis
a PI aiint i cuts should not be allowed
to interfere with the efforts put forth
these tilings may lie disheartening,
luit they are not insurmountable and,
be thought, the Commercial Club, with
a united Nenana to back its effort,
should be able eventually to secure
i government smelter, the establish
ing of which will herald the dawn of
big tilings for Interior Alaska in gen
cral and Nenana in particular Ne
