TOBACCO^PRICES
TAKE BIG JUMP
RESULT OF WAR
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Kentucky
farmers who produce about thirty
per cent of the country’s tobacco
have experienced unprecedented
prosperity since 11)15 and this au
tumn were able to get nearly three
times the price with which they
would have been content at the be
ginning of the war.
Eighty per cent of the 250,000,
000 pounds of hurley tobacco used
in the United States comes from
Kentucky. In 1014 prices for all
qualities of leaf, lugs and trash
averaged between ten and twelve
cents a pound, while the price for
the heavy, dark export type grown
in the “black patch" of western
Kentucky, climbed from six cents
to sixteen cents.
When the war began tobacco pro
duction in European countries was
virtually halted and there was a
tremendous drain on the big stocks
of American tobacco in European
warehouses. It was the demand
made upon these reserve stocks that
sent prices upward, rather than the
overseas shipments, which were in
reality smalled than those in times
of peace, dealers say. As the big
reality smaller than those in times
can exporters began buying in the
American market to replace the
stocks when peace would bring ade
quate transportation facilities.
The amount now held for export,
however, is not sufficient, in the
opinion of big dealers, to replenish
foreign stocks. They say that this
conditions, coupled with the desire
of domestic manufacturers to in
crease their stocks, will make com
petition keen far a year.
Roy Blair left for Fairbanks this
morning on the Koland stage.
RMS VERY NEAR
NENANA CROSSING
The end of steel is now within
4000 feet of the north bank of the
Nenana river at the Crossing and,
it is expected, that the river bank
will be reached on Wednesday.
The bridge at the crossing has
been completed insofar as the driv
ing of the piling and the putting in
of the caps and stringers is con
cerned, and just as soon as the rails
reach the river bank, the material
necessary for decking the bridge will
be hauled out on the trains from
camp 15, and the bridge completed
as rapidly as possible. All of the
material which the salvage party
had taken out of the big trestle
across Lost Slough, on the old
abandoned line, is to be used to
complete the bridge at the crossing.
In the meantime, xml until such
time as the rails cai be laid on the
bridge and the river crossed by the
work trains, the men of the steel
gang will be put on to finish up the
work of placing the full number of
ties under the steel along the road
behind them, and in surfacing por
tions of the road In order that
the work of laying the st^el might
be expedited, only a limited number
oi' ties, just sufficient to lay the
steel had been used f>r some little
lime [last, and the worn trains were
enabled to go at slow speed.
Across the Nenana river the grade
has been completed as far as Lig
nite, and it will not be long after
the bridge has been completed be
fore the coal field at Lignite is
reached and the fuel made available
for use in Nenana.
On reaching the Burns mine,
which is situated about a mile on
this side of the Lignite roadhouse,
a spur track, approximately 1000
feet leading right up to the mine,
will be put in ere the laying of
steel beyond is resumed from the
point where the spur will commence.

NENANA CLUB PARTIES
WILL BE RESUMED SOON
At a special meeting of the Ne
nana club held last Saturday night,
it was decided that the ladies' card
parties may be resumed. The club
was in favor of allowing the ladies1
the use of the club rooms on two
evenings of the month and it was
decided that the first and third Wed-!
nesdays of each month be set apart
for the entertainment of the ladies.
For the current month, the 8th
and 22nd have been allotted to the
fair sex for the resumption of the
card games which were interrupted
by the holidays.
Another reason why it is a good!
idea for young lovers to live in
a world of romance is because the
rent is cheap.
