“Stroller'’ White, choice of the
Democratic party for delegate to
Congress, does not believe the Gov
ernment should operate steamers in
connection with the Alaswa Rail
road, and he is using his Juneau
newspaper to voice his objection to
the transfer of the army transports
General Jacobs and Genera! Dav.s
to the Alaskan Engineering Com
mission. on the grounds that the
boats are not suited to the require
ments of river service. All of which
proves that the “Stroller” does not
know what he is talking about. He
says the Davis is “painfully siow
and as far back as eight years ago
her wooden hull was so irotten that
it was with great care and difficulty
that it could he caulked and made
seaworthy”. The Jacobs, he admits,
“is a somewhat bdcter boat” but
“she is also slow and not adapted
to use on the river except when
the water ;s high”. After thus mis
stating the facts, he continues: “It
can be seen, therefore, that the
service the lower Yukon country
will get from these steamers to be
operated by the government in con
nection with the railroad will be in
adequate and unsatisfactory. How
ever, as stated, it is not probable
the arrangement will be perma
nent.”
The “Stroller” would solve the
Yukon river transportation problem
by subsidizing "some private corpor
ation, company or individual—some
concern that could pul substantia!
steamers in the service, steamers
especially constructed for and adapt
ed to conditions that exist on those
routes”.
The “Stroller” is all wrong in bis
estimate of the value of the two
boats in question and it is the be
lief of The News thas bis argument
against their use in connection with
the railroad was inspired by the
Canadian transportation monopoly
which exacted heavy toll from In
terior Alaskans prior to the com
ing of the raiiroad, and which still
dominates Yukon river transporta
tion, to the detriment of every 4-t
tlement and mining district aiong
the river. The “Stroller” knows
'-.he value of a subsidy. He operated
a new-spaper in the lee of the offices
v,f the Canadian transportation;

’ monopoly during his long residence
in Canada, and he received a sub
sidy from the Alaska government
'after moving over to the American
i side. And he must know that such
| an arrangement as he suggests
; would benefit only the Canadian
company.
The use of the army transports
in connection with the Alaska Rail
road. is being arranged by the
Alaskan Engineering Commission at
: the urgent request of Interiorites
j ar.d has the approval of everyone
i familiar with conditions along the
j river. I: is a necessary step and the
, only logical way in which to serve
j river points below Xenana. The on
ly improvement in the plan that
occurs to The News, would be the
] use of Government steamships to
i handle the business on the ocean
end of the railroad.
The "Stroller" has never been
! in Interior Alaska and The X’ews
suspects he has obtained his mis
information from officials who have
an axe to grind. In any event, it ill
i becomes a candidate for delegate
i to oppose a proposition which the
people themselves have indorsed.
The people of A'enana are fortun
ate in having the opportunity to
. operate the public utilities of the
town. It is a privilege that is no:
enjoyed by many towns the size of
N’enaua and is the result of very.
generous treatment on the part of
the Alaskan Engineering Commis
i sion. The arrangement made with
| the Commission by the City Council
, gives the city full control of the
| ;>ower and telephone plants at a
i.ominal monthly rental, and the op
, portunrry to benefit financially in
■ the event that it should be found
j possible to reduce operating costs
I sufficiently to warrant a lowering of
. lates. The success of the venture
will depend no: only upon the men
agerial ability of the city but also
upon the co-operation of the public
The council must have the indulg
ence of consumers while the utilit
ies organization is being perfected
— and liberal support.

NEW TURBINE IS WORKING;
FUEL SAVING IS EXPECTED
The installation of the turbine
engine and switchboard, which were
moved to N'enana from the Mata
nuska coal fields, for use in the local
I power plant, was completed this
week and the new equipment was
put to work early yesterday af
ternoon. following a suspension of
service of half a day to permit the
transfer from the old system to the
new.
The turbine, which has a gener
ator and starter direct connected,
occcpies less floor space than one
’ of the old engines, runs quietly ar.d
without vibration, but the load is
about all it can handle during the
' peak hours of the night. There will
' be ample power later on, however,
when the second unit is installed.
A new engine has been ordered and
| should arrive within the next few
weeks.
While it is too early to ascertain
■ the saving in fuel that will result
from the use of the turbine, it is
believed the saving will be consider
able. The firemen at the power house
I are beginning to feel the dtfference
already.
FOR SALE—Two dogs. Inquire af
ternoons at Rust House.
