AN ASSET.
There is much encouragement' to
the people of Nenana in the public
announcement made by Engineer in
Charge Browne last week relative to
the coal situation in the Lignite
field south of Nenaifa. Mr. Browne i
says that the Alaskan Engineering
commission has offered a pnee for
coal that is considered more than
fair, in order to encourage the de-,
velopment of coal; and, with that,
purpose still in view, the Commis-;
sior. probably will be willing to give;
a guarantee of sufficient consump- j
tion to justify the development of i
coal properties on such a scale as j
will reduce the cost of mining to a
minimum and enable the operators
to place their fuel in successful
competition with wood both in Fair
banks and on the creeks of the Fair
banks district.
The Healy River Coal corporation >
is a big asset to Nenana and to In
terior Alaska generally. It is com
posed of men who have made a suc
cess of gold mining ill Alaska and
who will make a success of coal
mining also if they are given the j
right kind of encouragement by the ]
Alaskan Engineering commission and
by the” people of Interior Alaska.
They have made their money in
Alaska and they are willing to spend
it liberally in any development pro
ject that gives reasonable assurance
of ultimate returns. They pay good
wages, enjoy the confidence of their
employes 3nd business associates,
and are sincerely interested in the
development of Interior Alaska. It
they were not they would not be
here.
We are fortunate in having such
men interested in our coal fields,
for the reason that they have the
funds and the ability to make good.
And we believe they will be os con
siderate of the public interest as the
Alaskan Engineering commission
would be if that organization were
to engage in coal mining.
BERGER’S CASE.
The expulsion of Victor Berger
from the house of representatives
by the votes of all the members ex
cept one was not declared because
he is a Socialist, points out the
Alaska Daily Empire (Juneau).
Berger says that his political doc
trines were the reason for the vote
against him, but he was a Socialist
long before the war and held a seat
in Congress before the war. So
have other Socialists, but nobody
ever proposed that they be expelled
for that reason.
Berger was turned out because,
after war was declared, and while
millions of men were being enlisted
to fight the battles of the country,
he preached doctrines which were
intended to destroy the power of the
country to make war. He was
against the country he calls his own
and rendered excellent service to
the enemies of this country'.
Other men are in prison for doing
less than he did to hinder the United
States in the conduct of the war,
and the house, as sole judge of the
qualifications of its members, was
entirely right to legislate in peace
for the country he opposed in war.
STORES OF NENANA
SHOWXMAS SPIRIT
The Christmas spirit is in evidence
everywhere in Nenana—in the dis
play of Christmas stocks and the
artistic decoration of show windows
in the business section and in the
excited preparations which are in
progress throughout the residence
district. ^ The stores never looked
more Christmassy than they do this
]
year, and the stocks are fairly com- j
plete, in spite of the high prices
prevailing in the States and short- J
ages in many lines Outside.
TJie Northern Commercial compa- j
ny’s store on Market street is one!
of the most attractive this year, with I
a large Christmas tree in one of the
windows, loaded down with gift
suggestions, and the rest of the
store also bearing evidence of the
holiday season, with Christmas
streamers draped from the ceiling
and cases piled high with an array
of Christmas gifts.
The Simson store, with the great
est expanse of plate glass front in
town, is also elaborately decorated
for the holidays, with a most invit
ing display of Christmas goods in
;the windows and on the counters
; inside.
A little farther up A street a
realistic Alaskan railroad scene halts
one in front of the store of the
Fairbanks Clothing company. It is
a most original decoration, with a
i Government special scurrying across
a snowy expanse, and a typical log
cabin nestling among the spruce
; trees. The opposite window eon
' tains a neat display of Christmas
goods.
The store of Miss J. O'Bryan is
'displaying a great assortment of use
ful things in ladies’ wear, the show
j window being filled with Christmas
; goods by way of suggestion.
The Mellish window has a remind
er of Christmas in the way of an
old-fashioned fireplace, with stock
ings hanging in an inviting row.
The decoration is an attractive one.
The Thompson windows are filled
with a variety of things, giving
Christmas shoppers a wide range of
suggestions.
! On the opposite side of the street
the Coghill store has given up con
siderable space to a large Christ
raas tree, which looks every bit as
though old Santa had placed it there
I himself. The windows, too, reflect
the Christmas spirit.
; The Taylor jewelry store, with
windows and showcases resplendent
with a glittering array of Christmas
; novelties, is a very busy place these
/lays, and it is doubtful if there is
,a jewelry store anywhere in Alaska
.with a more complete stock, Mr.
|Taylor having given special heed this
j year to Christmas preparation
Fowler & Morris have Christmas
gifts everywhere in evidence in their
store, from windows to back door,
and the stock includes everything
from Christmas ties to useful things
!

THE
LITTLE SHOP

for the home.
The Portland and the Terminal
are making a Christmas specialty
of candy, fancy stationery, and
cigars, and the way they are dis
posing of their holiday stocks indi
cates more than usual interest in
Christmas giving. Both places bought
heavly in anticipation of a big holi
day trade, and they guessed wisely.
In fact, the Christmas goods are
going at a rate that threatens empty
shelves before Thursday.
The Christmas spirit is also much
in evidence at the store of Anderson
Bros. & Norland, where useful things
for the home are on display in great j
profusion.

REPUBLICANS OF COAST
ARE BOOSTING FAULKNER
Many First and Third division ;
Republicans have requested H. I..
Faulkner of Juneau to become a
candidate for Republican national
!committeeman, says the Juneau Em
pire of recent date. The request
comes from the straight Republi
cans who want to prevent the party
organization from falling into the
hands of Wickershamites and who
have confidence in the ability and
patriotism of Mr. Faulkner,
i Mr. Faulkner was United States
I marshal during the Taft admir.istra
'tion. <He studied law while holding
that office, and, beginning the prac
tice immediately after rearing, he
has built up a large business.
The requests that Mr. Faulkner
become a candidate for national
committeeman at the Republican pri
mary next spring comes from many
residents of Juneau and elsewhere
j in the First division, and from vari
|ous parts of the Third division.
