given ten days.

The news of it reached the mar

FREIGHiNG WILL
COMMENCE M
FAIRBANKS LINE
Arrangements have now been
completed for the commencement
of freighting from Nenana to
points on the Nenona-Faisbanks
line where supply depots have been
established. The rates which will
.apply on shipments from Nenana
have been finally agreed upon and
it now only wants the completion
of the finishing toucnes on the
barns and other bui'dingy before
actual work will commence.
The committee appointed at the
freighter’s meeting, referred to in
thes columns yesterday, composed
of Norman Campbell, Knut Roland
and Jas. D. McMahon called on F.
1). Browne and laid .heir views on
the question in full before him.
They pointed out very dearly hat
tee proposed rate of ,>per ton
per mile with the illowance made
for overhead would not permit them
ro break even on the proposition,
end that no provisi in, apparently,
had been made for bad weather
and adverse trail conditions that
v'ould render freighting infficult
arid sometimes impc.isitlc
After a somewhat lengthy dis
cussion, during which every phase
of the question we ■ thoroughly
covered, Mr. Browne, on behalf of
the Alaskan Engineering Commis
sion. advanced the r,,to to !d> cents
per ton per mile, the other pro
visions of the memorandum pub
lished yesterday in these columns
remaining the same.
A meeting of the freighters was
held at the Skof House at seven
n ’doc k last night, at which there
were present Norman Campbell,
1 'ave Patterson, John Miller, John
f’att rson, P. Herald. West Keefe,
J. I». McMahon, A. B. Funk, P.
A Thelin, Herman Nichols, F. 11.
Stewart. Knut Koland and George
Palme:
Wit : .a. a dissenting vote, the
freighters agreed to accept the
rates named by Mr. Browne and
they will probably begin hauling
almost immediately.
Mr. Browne’s attitude on the
other matters in connection with
the freighting proposition was dis
cussed and warmly commended by
all Mr. Browne has accorded them
commissary privileges; the teams
will be given barn room and the
men sleeping room at the Commis
sion camps, but they must carry
their own bedding. In view of the
tact that feed is difficult to ob
tain, the Commission will give the
freighters a quantity of feed to
start with and when that has been
consumed, they will be permitted
to draw 90 per cent of their earn
ings to enable them to buy more
feed. Mr. Browne definitely stated
that he would not see them “stuck”
for feed and will help them out.
Meals will be supplied to the men
at the Commission mess house at
the rates usually charged to con
tractors viz: 75 cents a meal.
There are several Fairbanks
freighters who also wish to come
down here, but there would appear
; to be insufficient inducement for
; them at the present time. The
! hauling of the supplies to the Com
: mission ramps is the only work in
| sight at the present time, and the
i are sufficient teams here for t
I purpose. Considerable Commissi
j stock will also be engaged in t
hauling of these supplies. T1
i work will last only
up until
breakup, it not finished before, a
there is no other work in wh
teams can be used to advantage.

CEASE KNITTING
ORDER RECEIVED
Mrs. Frederick D. Browne, chair
man of the local Red Cross branch,
received the following communi
cation from the chairman of the
i
Tanana Valley Chapter of the •
American Red Cross. j
The provisions contained in the '
communication fro into effect at1
once.
Fairbanks, Alaska, Jan. 25, 1919 1
“To All Branches, Tanana Valley |
Chapter:
“There was received today, an '
order from divisional headquarters,
said order having been transmitted
from national headquarters in
Washington, to “Cease Knitting.”
This order was issued the first of
the year, but was received in Fair
banks this date.
“Knitted articles now in process)
of construction are to be completed j
as rapidly as possible and shipped
either to chapter headquarters here
in Fairbanks, or to divisional head
quarters in Seattle directly.
“No more yarn is to be issued
to workers. As soon as the neces- i
sary information is received from
Seattle, the chairman of each j
branch will be notified as to what1
disposal may he made of the yarn ■
still on hand. Please check up thisi
amount as soon as possible and
notify the chapter chairman of the
Woman’s Bureau as to the amount
of each kind of yarn on hand.
“Those branches having refugee
garment material, are urged to
complete saitl garments with all
possible speed .and to ship them to
Seattle, parcel post if it be possible.
The need in Northern France and i
Belgium for these garments is very \
i
great, the condition of the people j
being distressing in the extreme. I
“From national headquarters also
comes the announcement that “No!
Red Cross funds will be used for
the benefit of the foes of the i
Allies. No relief work of any
kind whatever is contemplated by
the American Red Cross within the
Central Powers, except such as may,
be for the benefit of American or!
Allied prisoners, refugees and in
terns, many of whom are too ill
to be removed from German soil
at present.”
