Nenanaites are reminded that an
election will be held next Tuesday
for the purpose of electing four
school directors to fill vacancies
which have occurred and which will
occur. Up to the present time no
candidates have made their appear
ance and the call for the election
provides that the names of candi
dates must be filed with the clerk
not later than Friday, of this week.
Electing a school board is an im
portant duty of the citizens of a
community—one that too often is
little heeded. And neglect of that
sort not infrequently results in the
election of men and women who are
unfitted to have charge of schools.
This luckily has not yet occurred
in Nenana, the town having been
most fortunate in its choice of di
rectors from the beginning. But
there is always a first time to make
a blunder, and that it what may
happen if more interest is not now
displayed in the forthcoming elec
tion.
The News would like to see the
retiring members of the present
board re-elected to succeed them
selves. They have served the com
munity efficiently and untiringly.
But it is not certain that they will
*
consent to continue in office, and
there are two vacancies which must
be filled in any case, so it is up to
the citizens of the town to bestir
themselves.
Some people pay hard cash for
advertising and some have adver
tising thrust upon them. There is
Henry Ford, for instance, whose
anti-Semitic utterances have resulted
in banning the Ford weekly from the
streets of two large Eastern cities—
and undoubtedly also in tremendous
ly increased sales in every section
of the country.
me i'icwa uciic»cfl
is no room in America for Bolseh
vism and no excuse for it, we can
see no reason why our country
should longer refuse to have busi
ness dealings with a country in
which Bolshevism ranks supreme,
providing such guarantees are given
as our government has a right to
demand, to insure protection for
Americans and American property.
With England and other ' European
countries trading with- Russia, our
own country can ill afford longer to
delay a resumption of business re
lations. To do so would be cutting
off our nose to spite our face. We
need all the trade we can get to
speed our recovery from the late
war and we should not overlook
any opportunities.
It is to be hoped that the closing
of the Waechter market will not
cause Manager McCarty to leave
Nenana. He is a live wire and his
loss would be a serious one to the
community.
S. N. Beatty has resigned his
position as shop clerk, with the
Alaskan Engineering commission, to
accept a position with the Mt. Mc
Kinley Gold Placers. A man is com
ing over from Anchorage to take
charge of the shop office.
THE SEWARD ATTITUDE
There is loud wailing1 and gnash
ing of teeth at Anchorage town.!
says a recent issue of the Seward
Gateway, commenting cn the receipt
of reports relating to a suggested
change in the management of the
Government railroad. Had a Bol- j
shevik bomb been thrown in their'
midst, continues the Seward editor,
greater consternation and excitement
could not have been created than
that caused by the action of the
chairman of the interstate commerce
commission in urging the establish
ment of civilian control of the Gov
ernment railroad and the eliminat'en
of the army and navy in connection
with the road. That would mean,
the Anchorage Times points out,
the direct removal of the railroad
shops and the headquarters of the
commission to Seward and would
cause untold damage to the business
of Anchorage, and set them back
many years.
We agree, says the Gateway, with
the Anchorage paper—it would cer
tainly do that and more; in fact, it
would have the same etfect on An
chorage as it did on Seward when
they removed the shops and com
mission headquarters to that town
some years 'ago. Seward hollered
then and had a right to holler; now
we realize, .it is up to Anchorage
to make a big noise, but the re
sult will be the same. We are in a
position to sympathize with you,
Anchorage, for we know how you
feel, but it is a ten to one shot
that ‘heads, we win, and tails, you
lose.’ Seward is simply coming into
her own which has been long over
due—it’s all over for Anchorage
but the flowers. Keep your eye on
Seward from now on and watch it
C. A. Davidson, who returned to
Nenana several days ago from an
outing of several weeks at Circle
Hot Springs, says of the popular
resort: “I cannot say too much for
the Circle hot springs. They helped
me wonderfully and they help near
ly everybody who goes there. The
accommodations are fine and it is a
splendid place for any one to go
to for a good time and to improve
their health.”
Mrs. L. J. McCarty returned to
Fairbanks today, after a visit of
several days in Nenana.

Late arrivals from Anchorage are
authority for the statement that the
belief is general now in the coast
town that Chief of Police Sturgus
who was found on the street in a
dying condition several weeks ago,
took his own life. They say the fatal
bullet was fired from Sturgus’ re
volver, and so close that the shirt
of the unfortunate man was burned
by powder.
