The arrival tomorrow of the first
through train over the Government
railroad, will mark an epoch in the
history of Alaska. Ten years ago
or more, the people of Interior Al
aska began their agitation for a
'‘Government owned ana operated
railroad from tidewater to the In
terior’’, and the coming of the first
through train will herald the dawn
ing of the new era, so long and pa
tiently awaited. It will also be in the
nature of a warning co Alasicans to
prepare for the new conditions
which will follow in the wake of the
railroad builders—conditions whicn
will require expeditions readjust
ment of business methods to conform
more closely to Outside market?
ar.d hvjier bidding for trade.
It is natural and fitting that Ne
nana, creation of the Alaskan En
gineering Commission, should cele
brate the closing of the gap in the
iron trail which has bridged the dis
tance between tidewater and the
Interior. For it was here that In
terior construction began and where
the first through freight will be de
livered, ar.d where ali freignt in the
future will be unloaded for reship
ment to mining communities along
the Tar.ana and Yukon rivers.
The importance of this event, to
Nenana and to the entire territory,
cannot be over estimated. It is truly
an epoch and should be celebrated
as such, that Washington and the
country at large may know that
Alaskans are not lacking in appre
ciation of what has been done to
expedite development.
UNEMPLOYMENT
The Department of Commerce has
made public a partial list of funds
authorized or raised by'various cities
throughout the country to relieve di
tress caused by present unemploy
ment. These do not include munici
pal appropriations for immediate
public works, as recommended by
the President’s Conference on Un
employment. which ru*i far up into
the millions.
New Haven, Conn., is raising a
community chest of half a million,
which includes an item of $50,000
for an emergency fund for the un
employed. In Hartford, Conn., small
sums are advanced to unemployed
persons on their notes in favor of
the city for repayment. This keeps
borrowers from being put on the
pauper list ar.d jobless workers re
tain their self respect.
In Detroit, two millions aave beer,
raised to meet the unemployment
situation.
Indianapolis has had an audit of
city funds, and with $153,000 avail
able, has commenced »»:k on par’ 7
and streets, witn a constantly in
creasing payroll of deserving n eu
which now aggregates l,2fC. In pd
dition, $120,000 was raised in four
hours for the relief of "he lr.era
ployed.
Cleveland’s community chest or
ganization raised its quota of $3,
-500,000 in one week and it reports
that enough more will be forthcom
ing to prevent extensive suffering
In the present emergency. In Cin
cinnati, the City Council has appro
priated $10,000 for the Mayor’s un
employment committee.
The Finance Committee of tht
Chamber of Commerce, Poughkeep
c-ie, N. Y., will lend up to $100 t<
any unemployed man of reputabb
character, and accept his note foi
90 days at reasonable interest, whic’r
is charged to make up for any los:
which may occur through failure u
pay. In Lima, Ohio, when able-bod
ied persons apply for relief, they ari
required to perform labor in. thi
service department and receive thi
necessaries of life in return for thi
■work they do.
The City Council of Racine, Wis.
has turned over $50,000 from it
general fund to the central associa
tion for the needy, sick and onem
ployed. Applicants sign notes an
are expected to repay •when they ere:
a job.
Thirty-five oil leasing permits,
constituting the largest cumber is
sued up to the present at any one
time, were received at the Juneau
land office recently, for delivery to
applicants The permits total nearly
90,000 acres for oil claims located
in four Alaska fields. And yet they
say conservation is blocking all de
velopment in Alaska They must
mean conversation.
An oldtime subscriber, writing to
The News from Wrangell, says “You
surely print a great amount of news
and do it in presentable and at
tractive shape. I am glad v> read
of the cheerful outlook for the In
terior. May the good work go on
till the country shall tave a chance
to ccme into her own.. There are
good indications of an awakening j
industrial life down this way".
With Senator Borah positive the
collection of war debts will not be
permitted by the monied .r.tcrcsts, 1
and Secretary Mellon doubtful if ]
those debts can be depended upon 1
to reward American soldiers who1
won the war. it really begins to look}
as if American taxpayers will be the j
goats, after all.
