FUTURE OF NENANA
Five years ago, within a few
weeks after Nenana had been found
ed by the Alaskan Engineering Com
mission, Comnrssioner Thos. Rigors
said to a representative of The
News, regarding the future of the
town, that “Nenana will flourish as
development flourishes. Every new
camp discovered below N'enana will
add its quota to the prosperity of
the new town and it wrill become the
distributing center for the whole
Yukon basin, from Ruby to Circle.
“I should hate to see an ill-ad
vised boom strike the town," the
commissioner continued. “What I
would like to see is a steady growth
which will keep track with, but not
exceed the local demands. That N'e
nana wrill for a few years carry the
heaviest payroll on this side of the
Alaska range cannot be denied, but
with the completion of the trunk
line it will take its proper place as
a permanently prosperous little town.
As a division point it will always
be important.”
Asked what he thought would be
the permanent population of N'enana
after the completion of The railroad.
Commissioner Riggs said: "I should
judge between 1.000 and 1,500
people unless coal briquetting and
powdering works are established in
the town instead of in the coal
fields. The payroll will be steady
and anyone with a job will be sure
of his pay envelope every month
Should the lignite coal of the N'e
nana fields prove to be the coming
fuel for Interior Alaska, there
should be distributing bunkers along
the waterfront. In any event, coal
will be handled at N'enana for, if
necessary, coal can be brought from
the farther away Matanuska fields.
At present all indications point to
a steadily increasing demand from
the N'enana fields.”
The announcement that Secretary
of the Interior Fall ha? decided
not to visit Alaska this year will
come as a disappointment to Alas
kans generally, but it will not sur
prise anybody. We have heard new
secretaries and new Presidents talk
enthusiastically before about visiting
Alaska but none of them really get
here, the nearest approach to 3
visit by cabinet members being the
flying trip made by Secretaries Dan
iels and Payne a year ago. They
touched at several Alaskan towns
and made a hurried trip over a
small portion of the Government
railroad; but they did not see
Alaska and they were not in office
long enough after returning to the
national capital to do the territory
any good.
Alaska should be visited by both
Secretary Fall and President Hard
ing, and as soon as possible, in order
that they may gather first-hand in
formation regarding the needs of
the territory; but it is perhaps as
well for the Interior that they are
not coming this year, for a visit at
this time would mean only a brief
stop along the coast, after the man
ner of the Daniels-Payne visit. A
year from now it should be possible
to make the trip to Nenana over
the Government railroad, which will
| enable Washington officials to see
| a great deal of the country in a
j limited time, including that part of
j the Northland which really needs
' i seeing.
So, after all, we should welcome
the announcement that the secretary
has postponed his trip for this year.
| But we must not neglect to let
j him know that we expect him to
I come all the way next year.
OFFICERS OF MINE WORKERS
GIVE UP SALARIES IN JULY
INDIANAPOLIS, July 15—No sal
j aries will be accepted by more than
I 100 officers of the United Mine
i Workers of America for their work
this month ‘‘because of the ,-ide- 1
spread unemployment among coal 1
miners,” according to statement ap
; pearing in a recent issue of *he 1
■ Mine Workers' Journal, official pnbli- '
; cation of the international union. 1
All officials, including the head
! officers, members of the internation
i a! executive board, organizers and
field workers, according to the an- ’
i nouncement, "have volunteered to 1
i contribute their entire salaries for ’
| July to the orgaization in order that 1
they may share the burden of tard- 1
j *hips with the membership of the
i union.” i
’ I'he exact amount thus ccntHbvt- '
ed was not announced, it bein^ ^
said that some of the officials work 1
part time on a per diem basis The
total, however, was expected .o come *
to several thousand do’lars. John L. *
Lewis, as president of the union, 1
receives $066.66 a month, an 1 Phi). *
Murray, vice president, i.nj William ‘
Green, secretary, each recei -e So?3. s
The salaries, t -vas xplainjJ at 1
the union's headquarters, o,H remain 5
in the general fund of the organiza- c
tion, which it was said nas '• ceived "
many calls for relief, but man tains 1
only one fund for all vpenditures 1
of the union.
"It has long been the cry of some
people.” said the Mine Workers’ .
Journal, “that regardless of whether
the membership worked or not the
salaries of the officers went on as
■ usual. Such talk is indulged in
solely for the purpose of creating
| distrust of the officers in the minds
j of the membership. Their voluntary
i ac:>°n, however, in contributing .
.heir entire salary* for July should
go far to dissipate such impressions
I an<l Prove that the officials feel a ’
deep, sincere interest in the well
being of the rank and file of the
j membership.”
| Union headquarters estimate that
I not less than 150,000 union miners
in the country are out of work and ,
tha. many thousands more work
one to three days a week. Hundreds *
of mines throughout the country,
are closed and others are working
short time because of the slack de
mand for coal.

BRITISH CORRESPONDENT
SEES MENACE IN CHINA
LONDON. July 5—A solmn warn
ing on the menace to Britain of the
“Americanization of China” is ut
tered by a special far-eastern cor
respondent of the Daily Mail, who
recently attended the tenth anni
versary celebration of the American
Indemnity (Tsing Hua) College in
Peking.
The college was established as a
result of the United States govern
ment remitting part of its share of
the Boxer indemnity.
“The boys here are China's future
leaders,” the correspondent say's, and
after pointing out that they will go
to America after completing their
studies in Peking, he continues:
“Educated under the American
system, aware that they owe their;
scholarship to American justice, and |
saturated with American sentiment j
by five to eight years’ residence in j
the United States, they will look to ■
America solely for cooperation in ]
the troublous years to come. The j
United States is rearing the China j
of tomorrow.
“Why should not we" (the Brit-;
ish>, he demands, “share an influ-j
?nce that we formerly monopolized |
md that is now slipping away from ’
rs?” and he goes on:
“I asked a returned student as
ive watched the boys at baseball
why China did not look to England
»s an educational field.”
“Sure we wrill" he replied, “when
rou remit the Boxer indemnity.”
The Chinese president of the col
ege put it to the correspondent
his way:
“Chinese-American friendship has
>eeome so proverbial that few peo
>le take the trouble to investigate
he cause of such good international
inderstanding. Any country that has
i desire to captivate the hearts of
he Chinese can do no better than
ollow the example set by America. -
B. Lenox-Simpson. an Englishman
vho holds the post of political ad
fiser to the Chinese government
ind who is at present in London,
vrites to the Daily Mail that the
irocess of the Americanization of
Ihina is a very real one.
"Big business." he says, “is tend
ng to go more and more to Ameri
an firms, because the Chinese be
ieve in favoring those who favor
hem." and he concludes:
"The helpfulness of America, not
mly tc Young China but also to Old
Inina is a subject of common con
ersation, throughout the immense
'hinese society which fills the far
astern continent. So far the re
ults of this have not been felt in
his country, but unless we take
peedv action, we are destined to
rop during the next 12 months to
hird or fourth place in the Chinese
epublic, and thereby affect our
i’hole standing throughout Asia."

FLORIDA MAGISTRATE TELLS
WHEN HUBBY MAY OBJECT
TALLAHASSEE. Fla.. Aug. G—
A wife has the right to be alone
with a man friend on a public high
way without interference from her
husband, accord'- to a recent de
cision of the Florida supreme court.
The case came up through a
husband meeting his wife riding
alone with another man He attacked
the man, and as s, result of the
fight that ensued his wife’s com
panion was convicted of assault
with intent to murder. The state
supreme court reversed the lower
tribual.
“There ma/ have been a time
wher. a wife was regarded as her
husband’s chatte’. and being out
alor.e on a public road with an
other man regarded as sufficient
provocation to justify the husband
-n malting an assault upon her com
panion. hut this -s r.p longer true,
when women enjoy equal freedom
with men," sa;d the opinion read by
Chief Justice Brown.
