The division of the territory into
districts under the supervision of
technical men o* the Bureau of
Mines should result in practical aid
in speeding the development of the
mineralized areas of the territory.
The step is in line with an appeal
made to the federal Government
many months ago by the Nenana
Commercial club. The local organ
ization sought to have geologists
stationed permanently in various
sections of the territory in order
that they might be available at all
times to the men in the hills who
are devoting their lives to the work
of development.
The plan of the Bureau of Mines
should prove equally helpful, par
ticularly in view of the fact that
it is the intention of the bureau to i
cooperate with the Geological Sur- j
vev. and also with the Territorial
government.
A business house having been
solicited for advertising by an Out
side small-town newspaper, wrote
back asking what territory the paper
covered. The editor replied: “This
paper goes from San Francisco to
Boston and from New Orleans to
Dawson, and it keeps me working

ENGLISH EDITOR SLAMS SIMS
Commenting on the indiscrete re
marks of Admiral Sims in the re
cent London address which caused
his summary recall to the United
States, and punishment by public
reprimand. The Manchester Guard
ian, one of England’s most influen
tial newspapers, has the following
to say:
“Among the many points forgot
ten by the distinguished American
sailor, whom we all like even when
he puts us into passing difficulties—
are facts that the Sinn Fein party
and the murder gangs who profess
to be doing its work are just about
as distinct from each other as the
British government and the other
murder gangs which profess to be
doing its work; that the most strik
ing point in Ireland's relation to
the great war was not the insane
effort of a few wild extremists to
help the Germans but the great
number and excellent quality of
Irish soldiers who abounded not
only in Irish. Australian and Canad
ian, but also in English and even
Scottish regiments; and that an even
more remarkable degree of partici
pation by Irishmen in the overthrow
of Germany was only prevented by
the folly of a few anti-Irish poli
ticians at the war office and else
where who choked off the great
recruiting movement started by
John Redmond.
By ignoring such facts while he
stresses others, Admiral Sims, no
doubt with the best of intentions,
assimilated himself to be an intem
perate kind of English party man.
It is a pity, becaus he is personal
ly worthy to cut a much better
figure than that and because it is
painful to find any fault at all
with a great officer in the navy of
a friend.
It is seldom indeed that any
officer in that most admirable
American service can be accused
of saying the word too much or
too little, even in the way of friend
| iiness. that outruns knowledge or
! discretion.
CITIZENS NAME COMMITTEE
TO NEGOTIATE AGREEMENT
Plans for the continuance of the
operation of the light, water and
telephone plants of the Alaskan En
gineering Commission, under a joint
agreement between the Commission,
the Healy River Coal Corporation
and the Town of Nenana, were
discussed at a large-attended meet
ing of citizens, which was held in
the Union building on Saturday
night, and a committee of five was
named to negotiate an agreement,
as suggested by Engineer in Charge
Fred’k D. Browne. This committee
met with Manager R. S. Donaldson,
of the Healy River Coal Corpora
tion, yesterday, and drafted a pro
position for submission to the Com
mission. for approval, after which
it will be submitted to the people
of the town for ratification.
Manager Donaldson attended the
meeting on Saturday for the pur
pose of explaining the proposition
maae to tne Healy Rjver Coal Cor
poration. He said he had been in
formed by Mr. Browne that the
Commission had received orders
from the secretary of the interior
to close the public service plants at
Ne.nana. Anchorage and other places
along the Government railroad, it
appearing that their further opera
tion is not necessary in connection
with the railroad. He explained also
that Mr. Browne had expressed a
desire to cooperate with the people
of Xenana in the matter and offered
them the use of the plants in
question without rental, providing
the Healy River Coal Corporation
or the corporation and the town
together, would assume the respon
sibility of operating the plants and
maintaining them, it being under
stood that they would be turned
over by the Commission in good
order. The Commission also would
agree, Mr. Donaldson stated, to
make all repairs and furnish sup
plies at the rate now charged, and
to pay for service at the rate to
be charged town consumers, with u
minimum charge of S400 per month.
It was explained by Mr. Donald
son that the proposal had been made
to the Healy River Coal Corpora
tion because of the fact that the
town is not incorporated, and with
a view to turning the plants over
to the town later, in case incorpora-!
tion should be decided upon.
As soon as the committee has
been able to reach an agreement
with Mr. Browne regarding de- I
tails of the transfer, another meet-!
ing of citizens will be called for the j
purpose of ratifying the agreement i
and arranging for the formal trans
fer of management.
It is expected that it will be
necessary to increase the rate for
electricity, which is now consider
ably lower than the Fairbanks rate,
but the question of charges will not
be definitely decided until the de
tails of the transfer have been ar
ranged.
