MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Associated Pres* is exclusively entitled to the use for re-publi
cation of all news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in
this paper and also all the local news published herein.
Residents of the Nenana district
should respond promptly and liber
ally to the appeal of the Seattle
Chamber of Commerce for Nenana
turnips for use in connection with
the annual dinner of the Washing
ton State Press association. The in
vitation to the various Alaska com
munities to assist in supplying the
foods that will be consumed on that
occasion is their opportunity to put
themselves on record in the States
as producers of good things to eat
and the advertising will equal that
of a dozen agricultural fairs, where
people look without seeing. If the
way to Washington newspapermen’s
hearts is through their stomachs, an
all-Alaska dinner will take first
money.
Nenana should not miss this op
portunity to advertise the fact that
good turnips can be grown here
and there should be no delay in ad
vising the Seattle committee that
the turnips will be forthcoming as
soon as the backward season will
permit, which will be in ample time
for the banquet.
What is the matter with a Shrine
celebration in Nenana? Surely there
are enough eligibles here to make
a ceremony worth while and enough
community spirit to insure the visit-’
ing Shriners a rousing welcome here

even though their stay be brief.
It is not the purpose of The News
to interfere with the plans of local
members of the organization, and if
it h their desire to consolidate the
ceremonials elsewhere there is no
more to be said about it. But just
the same. The News believes Xenana
could stage a real good celebration
if given the opportunity.
While there undoubtedly is much
that can be said in favor of the
Railroad Labor board, it would re
quire a lot of argument right now
to convince the American public
that the board is really worth its
cost to the taxpayer.
In time of industrial strife like
the present, with capital and repre
sentatives of the Government ar
rayed against the common enemy,
labor, it sounds good indeed to hear
the voice of one in authority in his
state raised fearlessly against un
scrupulous coal operators who would
use the people's soldiers as a shield
for strike profiteering. Governor
Shoup is deserving of commenda
tion for the stand he has taken.
Were there more governors' like him
in the country there would be few
er occasions for strikes and fewer
occasions for public complaint
against unfair prices.

NENANA ASKED TO FURNISH !
TURNIPS FOR PRESS DINNER
The Seattle Chamber of Com
merce has undertaken the task of
j securing from Alaska sufficient pro
. ducts to provide a dinner in con
nection with the seventh annual
I session of the Washington State
; Press association, to be held in Seat
We next January. Nenana has been
' asked to furnish 400 pounds of
Swedish or Petrowski turnips.
The letter from the Seattle Cham
ber of Commerce, addressed to the
X'enana Commercial Club, points out
that “keeping constantly before the
public the attractiveness of Alaska
as a field for investment and devel
opment is most ffnportant”. It is al
so pointed out that there is no bet
jter way to accomplish this than thru
the public press and that no better
means could be used to bring atten
tion of the press to Alaska and her
products than the manner suggested.
“Last year,” the letter says, the
foods for the annual dinner were
furnished by Hawaii and created a
sensation, resulting in extensive
publicity for the Territory and giv
ing it a new position in the minds
of the people. Alaska can and will
eclipse the Hawaiian effort, but it
will require ingenuity and coopera
tion.
“Dean Spencer, dean of the school
of journalism, of the University of
Washington, initiated the idea in a
letter recently addresseed to the
commercial bodies of the X'orth and
then turned the arrangemnt of de
tails over to this office as proably
being better equipped to handle the
matter.
In response to Dean Spencer s
appeal, whole-hearted endorsement
of the plan and food donations are
being received. With this assured
success the menu is being prepared.
Even,’ important food producing lo
cality will be represented therein
and each article will be followed on
the menu by the place of produc
tion. It will take considerable food
to provide for 500 guests but as it
is being gathered from all over the
territory a little local attention only
is necessary to assemble ar.d care
for the shipment. We are relying;
upon you to provide 400 pounds of
Swedish or Petrowski turnips., and
would request an immediate reply as
to whether same will be forthcom
ing, so that it can be listed and
transportation arranged. Kindly ad
vise when the turnips will be avail
able for shipment and upon receipt
of your reply full shipping instruc

ALASKA RAILROAD TO HAVE
MODERN HOTEL AT CURRY
Should it become necessary for
the Alaska Railroad to make use
of Curry next winter and in the
winters to come, as an over-night
division point, as was done prior
to the inauguration of through train
service, travelers will be provided
with the best of hotel accommoda
tions. The contract already has been
let for the construction of a modern
combination hotel and depot build
ing, at a cost of approximatelyj
$50,000.
Contractor Bartley Howard, who
is in Charge of the work of building
the Nenana depot, will build the
Curry hotel and depot, and plans
to start work on the structure with
in a very short time, so that the
building will be ready for occupancy
during the fall Some of the mater
ial and fixtures will be shipped to
Curry from Chickaloon, where there
are several Government buildings un
occupied at present as the result of
the suspension of coal mining act
ivities in that locality. The build
ings are to be partially dismantled
but left in such condition that they
can be restored to usefulness on
short notice.
Mr. Howard left for Anchorage
last night to arrange for the start
ing of work on the new structure.
Oscar Hart, Alaska representaive
of N’ewstader Bros., is a recently ar
rival from Fraibanks. He is on his
way back to the coast.
