CELEBRATE DAY
“Although it is somewhat earlyj
to make a forecast as to the number j
of Fairbanksans who will journey i
to Xenana on the Moose excursion, J
I firmly believe we can safely make
preparations to entertain a consid-!
erable number.” That is the way j
the situation looks to W. H. Gilcher,
who returned to Nenana this noon!
from a two-day visit in the upper |
town on business matters.
‘ Mr. Gilcher says that he heard a
lot of talk about the excursion dur- j
ing the short time he was in Fair-1
banks, and numerous friends an- j
nounced their intention of making
the trip. They are looking forward
to the outing, he says, with real
enthusiasm, and he predicts that the
New Year will find many Fair
banksans in town enjoying their.
first visit with Nenanaites.
The excursionists, Mr. Gilcher;
said, will include some of the most;
substantial people of Fairbanks, and
he mentioned a number, prominent
in business and official life, who in
formed him that they would be here.
There will be several from the
courthouse, and the majority of the
business houses will send representa
tives..
With the assurance that there
i
will be a considerable number of i
visitors in town. Mr. Gilcher be-1
lieves the people of Nenana should
lose no time in making: preparations
for the entertainment of those who
come. He suggests that every house
in town be thrown open for the
day—and night, too. if necessary—
and the visitors be made to feel'
that there is a welcome for them in
every quarter of the town.
He says that a number of the
women of Fairbanks are planning
costumes for the Moose masquerade j
and he expects to see a large pro
portion of the visitors en masque.

COMPROMISE TARIFF
OFFEREDjY BROWNE
(Continued from Page One)
tive values of the heating units of
this lignite coal as compared with
wood have been determined by the
bureau of mines; and while I have
not been officially informed as to
these relative values. I understand
that a little over a ton of coal is
equal to a cord of wood. In order,
therefore, that coal should be sub
stituted in the home ranges, the
home furnaces, and in general com
mercial activities of the neighbor
hood. such a price must be consid
ered as will place this coal in com
petition with cordwood. This in
volves the cost to the miner, the
cost of transportation on the rail
road, and the cost of delivery from
the railroad cars to the consumer's
door. The Commission is not in a
position to determine other than the
cost of transportation, and this price
has been placed so low that it is
questionable whether it pays for
train crew service and fuel actually
used. •
A short time ago a new vein of
coal was unearthed six miles from
the then end of steel south of
Xenana. In order to make this
coal available, the Commission ad
vanced their track to this coal mea
sure and it is now possible, or will
be in a very short time, to have
development made at this point.
The Commission stands ready at
all times to transport this coal when
it is offered to us as a carrier, even
to the transportation across the ice
at the Tanana river; and if any
person, or any mining corporation,
wishes to use this coal, and to have
it delivered, it seems that the only
method so far evolved is to make
request to the mining corporation.
If it is determined, later, that such
corporation will not deliver the coal
to our cars for transportation, or
cannot do so. then a new phase of
the coal situation has been present
ed and the Commission may find
itself in a position of helping, in as
large a measure as the laws will
permit, in the mining as well as the
delivery of coal.
As the matter stands at present,
the Commission is being every effort
to see that this fuel, upon which
the welfare of the future of Alaska
is so firmly based, will be made
available at as reasonable a cost
as possible.
Until, however, it is clearly dem
onstrated that the miners, who are
now in the field, are unable or un
willing to supply the demands, the
Commission feels that it must hold
aloof. This state of affairs has not
