DEVELOPMENT EDITION READY
The Development Edition of The
Nenana Daily News is ready for
distribution today, the last of the
printing having been completed last
night. The edition consists of 12
pages of reading matter and adver
tising, all of which will prove inter
esting and enlightening to residents
of the States, among whom the
paper will be distributed. There is
also much in the edition that will
prove enlightening to Alaskans—
facts concerning the Interior eoun
tr of which there is too little known
at home, as well as outside of Alas
ka.
Every- subscriber of The News
will be supplied with a copy of the
Development Edition free, and ad
ditional copies for mailing can be
obtained at the nominal sum of 25
cents each, while they last.
The Development Edition is the
first special number issued by The
News and is, we believe, the only
special number of any Alaska paper
published this year.
Copies of the paper may be ob
tained at The News office, the Port
land, and the Terminal.
EASTERN ALASKA.
Dawson has good friends in East
ern Alaska, says the sourdough Daw
son News. That part of Uncle
Sam’s territory is isolated from oth
er parts of Alaska largely by inter
vening mountain ranges and great
distances of unoccupied country.
Dawson always has enjoyed a
good trade from Eastern Alaska.
All that strip this side of the coast
range and of the Tanana river from
as far south as Kluane to as far
north as Circle and Fori Yukon has
been tributary of much business to
this center. The Eagle and Forty
mile districts in particular have been
close relations to Dawson.
While the two districts have dif
ferent governments, trade does not
know the strictest of boundary lines,
and neither does good fellowship.
Dawson has every reason to rejoice
over the prosperity of the districts
of Eagle, Fort Y'ukon, the Forty
mile, • the Chisana and adjacent lo
calities. May they ever receive the
heartiest of co-operation and the
friendly hand from Dawson and
continue to thrive and gain in im
portance on the map.
It is good news that comes from
these districts that they continue
to pour out a steady yield of gold
and other products, and that they
have become home centers occupied
by a rugged people. The fact that
many have settled down to providing
all the comforts of other homelands
augurs mightily in their favor. They
have learned that the place to live
is where one is located, and the
time to live is now.
Eastern Alaska has attracted
much capital as well as brawn, and
its future glows. Eastern Alaska
deserves every consideration from
the Alaska territorial government.
It should have an ample and in
creasing road allowance and other
advantages which it long has done
without.
Eastern Alaska has been patient.
It had the first great gold camps
of the American Yukon at Circle
| and the Fortyroile, and it started
'things in the Noitth. And Eastern
'Alaska is still on the map. Watch
: her grow.
Announcement that Milo Kelly,
the Cook inlet mining man and
member of the First Territorial Leg
islature, will be a candidate for Re
ipubiiean national committeeman will
: be good news to Alaskans who are
I tired of Wickersham's attempts to
Idominate the Republican party of;
;the Territory, says the Valdez Min-!
er. Mr. Kelly is opposed to Wick-!
> ersham and all that name stands for :
j in the Territory, and will make the 1
race on this platform. He is a man
; whose life is like an open book,
has thousands of friends in the Ter-!
ritory, and would make a good com- ■
mitteeman. In his announcement,
ihe pledges himself to use his utmost !
; endeavors to obtain home rule for :
Alaska.
; Spoofing the Democratic side, ^
! Floor Leader Mondell gave as the
I g !
j reason of the Republican majority!
for cutting down the recess of Con-!
i i
jgress, “We want to be back here to
! shake hands with the President when
jhe returns.” To this remark, Minori
ty Leader Champ Clark Teplied, “I i
I i
'would rather shake hands with my
'constituents." The New York Sun,!
I in commenting upon this exchange
1 of badinage, said Clark’s reply “was ;
jonly a trick of speech, for he does
;not shake hands; he permits his'
'hand to be shaken."
YORK, Eng.—Abundance of im
ported meat, bacon, cheese, marga
rine, rice, tea, sugar, and apples is
assured the people of Great Britain
the coming winter by the authori
ties, but home-grown products such
as milk, meat, butter, and dried
fruits, it is said, will be scarce and
costly.
Meanwhile the government food
control will continue, in order that
.rich and poor alike may share in
the available supplies. Nothing like
the hardships endured during the
last two years of the war is an
ticipated, because the government
(supervision and distribution will not
be so rigorous as when Haig’s army
had its “back to the wall.”
The expense of feeding and fat
tening cattle is the factor that will
make home-grown meat scarce. Hay
and oat crops are abnormally short,
and root yields in some parts of
the country are almost a failure.!
Cattle “cake." which will have to
be used more freely, is more ex
j pensive than last year.
The same considerations apply to
jmilk. The price for September was
.fixed at 75 cents per gallon to the
dairymen. Last winter it was 20
cents a quart, but higher prices arc
[expected the coming winter.
There is plenty of tea in the

country, but transportation systems
are so out of joint, dealers say, it
will cost more to handle and dis
tribute it. Bacon prices are rising
in America, which makes the British
price rise. Port and dock delays,
due to strikes and the general apa
thy of labor, contribute to higher
prices.
Nobody is worrying about sugar,
except as to price. The sugar com
mission has been very active in the
general market, and has obtained
enough to last the country until the
end of the year at prices which, it
is declared, are a little below the
average of Europe, but, of course,
much higher than the American j
price. If the commission had to go |
into the market now it would be !
compelled to pay as much for sugar
as the present retail price, and as :
it will likely have to do that early
next year, the consumer expects to '
pay more.
Apples are high and scarce, the i
controlled price being 18 cents a
pound. It is expected, however, J
that the fine crop here in England j
will serve to reduce this price ma- j
terially before winter comes.
Bakers and the government ex- ]
pect an increase in the cost of
bread. There are abundant wheat |
supplies in Australia and th^ Ar- '
gentine, but the scarcity of shipping 1
makes immediate delivery impossi
ble. So England must depend on
the United States and Canada,
which, the authorities say, means
costlier loaves.

NEW DOG STABLES
REAOYFOR TEAMS
A new dog-housing establishment,
where dog-mushers may unhook
their teams in comfort and the dogs
enjoy a comfortable night’s lodg
ing, has recently been completed by
the owners of the Cooney hotel, and
is now ready for occupancy. The
stable is on Third street, between
A and Market.
The building is a large, roomy
structure, with twenty stalls on each
side of a wide center aisle. The
place is lighted by electricity and ;
heated.
The Cooney stable is the first of j
the kind to be built in this part of i
i
Alaska, and should prove popular
among dog-mushers. Similar estab- i
lishments may be found in the lower
river country, where comfortable
quarters for dogs are considered a
necessity, but it is doubtful if there
is a stable in the North more com
pletely equipped for the care of
dogs than the one erected by Mr. j
and Mrs. M. J. Cooney.

of mail order business we are receiving from all parts of the
States for furs made to order enables us to turn our stock quickly
at a reasonable profit, but we must have fur, for which we guar

Make us a trial-shipment. If our price does not suit you, the
goods will be returned charges prepaid.
