The Interstate Commerce Cominis-;
sion, in announcing plans for the
consolidation of the railroads of the
country, says that the '‘competitive
arrangements” will be retained. It
probably will be found, however, if
the consolidation scheme is carried
out, that the competition will con
sist of choice of routes rather than
choice of rates. The rates on all
the roads are excessively high as
they are operated at present, so it
is hardly reasonable to expect that
there will be any real competition
in such a combination as has been
proposed.

Whatever else those Irish leaders
may say about Lloyd George, they
cannot with justice accuse him of
lacking in patience. The exchange of
notes on the Irish question has been
almost as voluminous as the corre

General Storekeeper W. R. Man
ning, of the Southern division of
the Government railroad, who spent
Sunday in Nenana, expressed him
self as being very agreeably sur
prised to find Xenana so advantag
eously situated for the distribution
of supplies to Interior Alaska points.
He thinks the geographical location
of the town insures permanence and
prosperity that will increase steadily
as the Interior country develops.

One Pair Did Not Wear Out!±
IT was a scientific expedition composed of three
white men and five Indians.
Thev tramped dear across Labrador, five months of
that heart-breaking going through rough country
that simply means death to footwear.
One man wore Goodrich “Hi-Press” and the rest
wore—other makes.
And before the traverse was completed every sol
itarv boot and shoe had worn out except Goodrich 1
The chief of the party (who wore the Goodrich) sent
the shoes into us as proof. You should see them—
the corrugations on the sole are nor all worn ofiF.
There is no doubt of the superior wearing quality
of Goodrich Rubber Boots and Shoes. It has been
proven time and again.
Fishermen, laborers, hunters, miners ail agree that
the footwear with the Red Line ’Round the Top
stands supreme for comfort and all around service.

The report is very satisfactory for
the first month of school. It will be
seen that the enrollment is almost
half again as large as last year at
this time.
Superintendent A. B Phillips wish-:
es to call to the attention of par-i
ents that there have been no tardy
cases during the month. Next month
the names of those children neither I
absent nor tardy for the month of
October will- appear in The News. ]
At present there are three enrolled (
in the High School. Mr. Phillips <
conducts the High School after his !
regular grammar school classes have ;
closed for the day. The High School j
students come at 1:15 P. M., and
study until the grammar school dis- 1
misses at 3:40. Then from 3:45 un-;
til 5:00 or later, the High School
recites. They are at present study-'
ing Algebra, English, and Physiogra-1
phy. As soon as more definite ar- j
rangements are made they will also i
study Ancient History and some
branch of Industrial Art.
For the Industrial Arts Mr. Phil-!
lips is considering very favorably
installing printing. He has a press,
type, forms, etc., at his disposal
and it may be possible that he will
establish a course in printing. If
printing is established, a small school
paper will be published by the High
School students every two weeks
or oftener.
By publishing a paper, students
will have to learn to set type, read
proof, write their own editorials,
make up their forms and print their
own paper. This will give them ex
cellent practice in English, spelling,
punctuation and grammar. It will
help a great deal toward making
them accurate and will prevent1
them from being careless.
Mr. Phillips also wishes to call
to the attention of the parents that
there were a good many books tak
en home last year and students have
evidently neglected to return them.
The school is very short of some
books and if parents have any
school books belonging to the Frank
lin K, Lane School, it would be
greatly appreciated if they would
be returned.
DANCERS MEET TOMORROW
TO ORGANIZE SOCIAL CLUB
The male members of the dancing
fraternity of Xenana will meet at
the Fire Hall tomorrow afternoon
at two o’clock for the purpose of
organizing a dancing club, the pur
pose of the proposed organization
being to give a series of dances dur
ing the winter.
About 40 dancers already have
j signified their willingness to become
I a part of such an organization and
it is expected that the number will
be considerably increased at the
meeting tomorrow, although the
chief object of the meeting is mere
ly to perfect the organization and
discuss genera! plans for the future.

even better than gas or electricity,
has been tested by the U. S. Gov
ernment and 35 leading universities'
and found to be superior to 10 ordi
nary oil lamps. It burns without odor
smoke or noise—no pumping up, :s
simple, clean, safe. Burns 04'i air
and 6'< common kerosene (coal
oil).
The inventor, Z. F. Johnson, 20!

ing to send a lamp on ten day’s'
FREE trial, or even to give one
FREE to the first user in each lo
cality who will help him introduce
it. Write him today for full particu
