LACK OF TRANSPORTATION
HOLDING KANTISHNA BACK
Lack of roads in the Kantishna
district has delayed the commence
ment of operations on at least two
big placer projects a whole year, ac
cording to J C. VanOrsdel, head
of the Mt. McKinley Gold Placers,
who has just arrived in Nenana from
the properties of his company in the
Kantishna. “If we had had roads.”
said Mr. Van Orsdel to a represent
l ative of The News, "we would have
been operating on our holdings by
• this time, but as it is, the commence
ment of our work has been delayed
a whole year. And the same is true
i of the Sutherland-Howell hydraulic
project on Moose creek.”
The Van Orsdel holdings are 12
miles from the Bearpaw river, and
all of the hauling thus far done has
j been accomplished with the greatest
difficulty imaginable, through a low
swampy country, and without even
the crudest sort of a road. The work
was such that it finally had to be
abandoned altogether, to await the
coming of snow.
Dr. Sutherland and his associates
have a haul of 30 miles from the
Kantishna river, at Roosevelt Land
ing. Considerable money has been
expended on road word in that lo
cality, but the road between the
river and Moose creek is impassable
jnow, difficult of negotiation even
for a pack train. It is a good w.nter
road, but absolutely unfit for sum
mer use. The result is that the
; hydraulic operation on Moose creek
cannot be started before next sum
mer.
Besides these comparatively new
placer projects, there are a consider
able number of hard rock propo
J sitions, rich in ore but undeveloped
j because of the lack of roads. Many
j of the properties were located years
ago, and the agitation for road work
has been loud and continuous, but
• without avail. Nothing was ever
' done in that district in the way of
, road building until a small sum was
j obtained from the territory to start
a winter road from Roosevelt, ar.d
the Kantishna oldtimers feel, in view
of the showing made by them, that
they have not been treated w,th fair
ness.
I EXCURSION TO TAKE CROWD
TO FAIRBANKS ON SUNDAY
—
Arrangements are being made to
I run an excursion train to Fairbanks
on Sunday, the object being to
give the Xenana ball boys an op
portunity to play a return game
• with the Fairbanks team, and to
| enable local fans to accompany
them.
It will be necessary for 70 per
' pons to make the trip in order to
secure a special train, but it is be
lieved no difficulty will be experi
enced in securing the necessary
number. Thirty or more already
have signified their intention of go
ing.
I In order that definite arrange
] ments may be made for the train,
it is requested that all those in
| tending to make the trip, register
their names at the Portland without ,
j delay.
The train will leave North Xe
nana at 7:30, so that it will be
i necessary for the ferry to leave the
: Nenana dock about 7 o’clock Sun
I day morning. Returning, the train
| probably will leave Fairbanks about
i 7 o’clock Sunday evening.

CHEAP MONEY IS PLENTIFUL; j
AUSTRIAN CONDITIONS GOOD
VIEX'XA, June 14—Finance and
economics seem to have parted
company in Austria. With its money
situation chaotic there is at the
same time a generally acknowledged
betterment of conditions of living.
Travelers revisiting Vienna say
they do not recognize the city of
a year ago. The mass of the people
are better dressed and more plenti
ful food is shown in their healthy
appearar.ee. The green and sallow
faces have disappeared and on the
whole the Viennese are nearly back
to normal as far as external evi
dence goes.
Paris can hardly show a more
fashionably dressed crowd of women
than that which turns out for the
ring promenade in the afternoon or
throngs the high-class shopping dis
trict in the mornings.
The shop display of luxurious
wares of every description increases
until the Arbeiter Zeitung says it
exceeds Vienna's best days of before
the war. The same newspaper ad
mits there is steady progress and
betterment in business and genera!
conditions.
The famous delicatessen shops are
reopening with almost their old
time excellence. The windows are
filled with fancy dainties for which
the city was noted; canned stuffs of
the finest foreign makes are to be
bought. American crackers and bis
cuits are common in the groceries;
the candy shops are restocked and
while last winter a pound of sweets
was virtually unprocurable, the fin
est fresh bonbons now are to be
had in any quantity.
White bread is served in nearly
every restaurant and the bakery
windows again display the famous
Vienna pastries and cakes. In the
poorer districts even the butcher
shops and groveries reflect the same
condition.
Turning to finance, the current
statement of the Austro-Hungarian
bank speaks for it. There are at the
moment forty-five billion crowns in
circulation and four billions out
standing treasury notes issued to
the banks for discount. But this
cheap money is plentiful. Everyone
seems to have it and to be spending
it. Enormously advanced prices for
everything seem not to have affected
the volume of business. Printing
presses are now turning out a round
five billion crowns a month to meet
the government expenses. The cur
rent budget shows a deficit of fifty
billion crowns. The wealth levy has
produced thus far about nine billion
crowns, one half of which was paid
in war bonds, leaving enough cash
from this source to meet about one
month’s running expenses for the
government.
Through its spokesman and news
papers the government is urging the
need of haste in the proposed credit
plan of the League of Nations by
which enough foreign capital is
sought to establish a bank of issue
whose new currency on a gold basis
is expected to gradually retire and
stabilize the value of the present
crown.

EASTERN FARMERS BUYING
OXEN TO WORK ON FARMS
KANSAS CITY, July 21—While
thousands of tractors are reported j
to be on their way west, shipped to
fanners from Eastern manufacturers '
there is a representative of Connecti-1 (
cut farmers in Kansas City buying’! I
oxen to work on Connecticut farms, j
This man is C. F. Colcoid, an 3
Illinois farmer, who also migrates J
to Connecticut and represents farm- 3
ers there.
Mr. Colcoid attends the sales at 1 j
the stock yard, keeping on the look- i j
out for old steers which would not j j
be very good as beef cattle but j
which are usable as work cattle, j
These he buys and sends back to <
Connecticut where they are auction- j
ed off to farmers. Owing to the ]
conditions of the hiily country he 3
states that they are the most practi- 3
cal motive power for polling plows 3
and farm machines. :
