The Nenana News says; While
practically every section of interior
Alaska is awaiting the coming of coal,
and will consume large quantities of
the fuel when it is available, the war
department already is actually prepar
ing to install coal burners and arrang
ing for the construction of buildings
for the storage of fuel.
Advices received from the army
post at Fort Gibbon indicate that a
large coal burning central heating
plant win be installed there during
( lbe coming summer, and the officers
j in charge of the several telegraph sta
| lions along the river have been re
i quested to furnish estimates of the
| cost of erecting buildings for the stor
j age of coal. All of which encourages
•be belief that the department will tie
; among the first to purchase coal and
w ill (,e a very large consumer.
Sergeant Mulkins of the local signal
j corps station is now busy with the
I plans of a building which is to he
j erected on the rear of the lot occu
[ Pied by the telegraph office. The
' building will contain large storage
bins for coal, and there will also he
room for a small stable, a workshop
nnd a place for the storage of sup
plies There is a probability that a
heating plant for the office building
will also be installed some time dur
ing the coming summer.
Similar preparations are also un
I douhtedly being made at Fairbanks,
where the wood problem has assumed
very serious proportions. Reports
from the upper town state that the
creeks are being drained of their sup
ply of fuel in order that the fires in
town may be kept burning; and an
other season probabily will find the
gold output of the camp materially re
duced unless operators can secure coal
for steaming purposes.

RADIO PLANT
AT NORVIK
The furthest north radio station on
American soil now open and doing
business is operated under the aus
pices of the bureau of education at
Norvik, on the Kobuk. This is the
new native settlement established by
the bureau of education on a native
reservation made for that purpose
Last summer a teacher who also un
derstood radiography arrived from the
outside and with him wras shipped a
wireless outfit- Three days ago Nome
w-as startled by the borean radio man
sending down notification that his sta
tion was in working order and asking
for the news. The wireless man had
overlooked the fact that this station
had been erected and first thought
that they were being strung by some
smart Alec with a transmitting appa
ratus. After a while, however, they
realized the fact In receiving a regu
lar message in due form from the
Norvlk station. It is reported that the
bureau of education has under con
sideration the erection of another
wireless station at Barrow, whereby
regular communication through Nor
vlk may be had with this point on the
Arctic ocean and Nome and the out
side. Any Important news matter
which might be well to make known
from the north could then be trails
mitted from Barrow. The scheme w ill
likely see realization some of these
days, and radios will be common as
a rancher's phone outside.
