The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for re-publi-;
cation of ail news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in
this paper and also all the local news published herein
The News is glad to have the An
chorage visitors in Nenana, even for
the short time train c-chedules will
permit them to remain here. The
trip to Interior Alaska will give the
excursionists a broader vision of
Alaska and help to strengthen that
friendship between communities so
vital to Territorial progress. Alas
kans do rot visit around enough to
get or keep acquainted with each
other and the result frequently is
needless difference of opinion on
matters of common interest. Alaska
is too big and the communities too
scattered and ur.alike to hope for
perfect Territorial unity, but ex
cursions help wonderfully to bring
about better understandings and
good fellowship, and the Alaska
Railroad has smoothed the way for
easy and frequent visiting over a
large part of the country at least.
It is to be hoped all the communities
served by the railroad will make
the most of the opportunity.
IT IS A PROBLEM
The editor of the Railway & Mar
ine Xews, of Seattle, would have
his readers believe Alaskans do
not know the needs of Alaska; that
the Federal Government has made a j
needless expenditure of upwards of
fifty million dollars in building a
railroad in Alaska; that there was
[no excuse for the railroad activities
I of Jam#s J. Hill, or the far-sighted
action of other empire builders who
made the development of the West
; era states possible.
The Railway & Marine News art
| icle. which was reprinted in the
Saturday issue of The Nenana News,
i shows the need of more enlighten
ment and fairer dealing on the part
j of Seattle publishers—and it ac
counts. in large measure, for the
confusion regarding Alaska and
Alaskan conditions in the minds of
: Outsiders.
It is quite evident the editor of
the Seattle publication has never
1 been engaged in development work.
He has not been up against the
proposition of trying to develop a
mine in Alaska under the handicap
i of prohibitive transportation charges
Alaskans have tried it. and that is
why they are asking for improved
Transportation conditions. That is
why they prevailed upon the Federal
Government to build a railroad from
tidewater to the Interior. That is
why they are continually seeking
funds from Congress for the con
struction of wagon roads and trails
And why they want the Federal Gov
ernment to regulate ocean rates be
tween Seattle and Alaska.
Many sections of Alaska are in
the unfortunate position of not be-;
ing able to develop without favorable j
transportation conditions, and the
transportation must come in advance ]
of development, just as the Govern
ment railroad came. Every Alaskan
knows that. Delegate Sutherland
knows it and so do many members
of Congress and department officials
familiar with conditions in Alaska.
Transportation is the big problem
in Alaska. It always has been the
big problem in Interior Alaska and
will continue to be until relief ar-1
rives in the form of more reason
able rates between Seattle and Sew
ard, and until there is an adequate
feeder system of wagon roads and
trails connecting with the Govern
ment railroad. Alaskans do not want
more boats or more trains than are
necessary to meet the requirements
of conditions, but they do want and
must have rate concessions that will
permit and encourage development
otherwise there can be no develop
ment worth while. ,

BERLIN TAXES GLUTTONY
Berlin. Jan. 23—A tax on glut
tony is the latest method of raisins
funds to be devised by the muni
cipality of Berlin.
Gluttony is defined in the regula
tions as excessive consumption of
food or drink, and the fact of ex
cess is determined by the cost of
the meal. The figure in marks at
which the glutonny begin is to be
fixed and announced monthly. The
cost of eating in excess of this a
mount will be taxed at the rate of
25 percent.
Lipman Simson, formerly located
in N'enana and at present engaged
in business in Anchorage, arrived on
this morning’s train from the south,
enroute to Fairbanks.
Writing to her husband from San
Francisco, Mrs. Alf EReland says
she and Eldon are very comfortably
located and enjoying good health.

Delicious
Hams and Bacon
Rich in Vitamines
Sientists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture who have
been studying different food* recently reported that tests of smoked
ham shows that it is rich in Titamines, those mysterious beneficial
elements which have been found to be so necexsary to the most
rigorous health.
FRYE’S DELICIOUS HAM and FRYE’S DELICIOUS BACON
are not only real health builders but they are among the most
pleasing and delightful of foods. Made from the very choicest of
young, corn fed porkers and processed after the Government's re
cognized method for producing packing house products of the rich
est and most delicate flavor, they are much in favor in homes,
where economy plus quality prevails.
FRYE S WILD ROSE LARD appeals to the housewife who
wants exceptionally good lard. It contains the rich leaf and back
fats, NOT FOUND IN ORDINARY LARDS.
Most good Alaska dealers handle FRYE'S DELICIOUS BRAND
HAM and BACON and FRYE’S WILD ROSE LARD. If yours does
not we would appreciate being advised of the fact.

THIS BY "STROLLER" WHITE
The publisher of the Stroller’s!
Weekly humbly apolizes for sub- ■
jecting his readers to the necessity |
of standing on their heads ‘to read
his paper of last week, two pages
of which were unfortunately printed
upside down. Were it not for the
fact that practically every woman j
in this part of the Territory reads !
the paper, this apology would not:
have beer. made.
According to the report of the
Alaska Engineering Commission of
the business of the Government
railroad for the first fiscal year, the
i volume of business in both passen-1
ger and freight traffic was very
much in excess of expectations and
the outlook for the coming year
is much brighter than was that of a
year ago.
Dr. and Mrs. J. R. Bowen re

Bowen joined the Elks while in the
upper town.
