SMALL TOWN NEWSPAPERS
George Creel, who during the war
was in charge of the United States
publicity bureau, pays a tribute to
the small daily newspapers through
out the nation for the patriotic work
they performed throughout the great
conflict which has just ended. He
declares that one of the most potent
forces in aid cf the nation, in the
time of trouble, was the inspired,
whole-hearted, generous work of the
country newspapers generally. He
has no such words of commendation
for the metropolitan press, which
he very frankly accuses of being
responsible for publishing sensa
tional stories that had no foundation
in fact, and which led to many mis
understandings among the allied na
tions engaged in fighting the power
ful foe.
Mr. Creel gives the newspapers
the chief credit for the nation's suc
cess in mobilizing such a potent
fighting force and for the financial
success of the liberty loans, Red
Cross campaigns and the like. While
metropolitian newspapers were paid
regular advertising rates for such
advertising as they published, the
small town newspapers ran the ad
vertisements as a patriotic duty,
without reward or hope of reward.
He asserts that it is the country
newspaper, rather than the metro
politan journal, that moulds public
sentiment, and is always first to
come to the nation’s aid in time of
need.
BLOWING HOT AND COLD
Mr. Wickersham’s attitude con
cerning the soldier vote in Alaska
is a most peculiar and inconsistent
one, says the Valdez Miner. Se\
eral years ago his followers in Val
| dez nearly precipitated a riot, ex
plains the coast paper, on account
of the refusal of the election judges
here to allow the soldiers at Fort
Liscum to vote. Wickersham had
boats hired and plied them between
town and post all day, carrying
soldiers to and from the polls. Not
only that, but he secured a voting
precinct at Fort Gibbon in order
to get the soldier vote. Since that
time he antagonized the soldiers bv
certain remarks and lost the main
part of the vote to his opponent.
It then became illegal for a soldier
to vote. His attitude on this ques
tion is as consistent as on the native
question, his contention being that
the ignorant Aleut and Eskimo in
northern Alaska had a right to vote,
because they could speak no Eng
lish and were still savages; while
the educated natives of Hydaburg
and Southeastern Alaska, who can
speak and write English, who run
their own stores and have con
siderable property, had no right
to vote—because they voted for'
Sulzer. It is this blowing hot an 1
cold which has queered Wick witn
the sensible voters of the territory.

L
With the arrival of two large
rafts containing a large quantity
of railroad ties and saw logs, the
Brown hoist, which was engaged in
filling in the waterfront, had to be
taken off that work and' utilized in
unloading the ties from the top of
the rafts. The logs forming the
raft, after the ties have been un
loaded, will be floated down to che
sawmill and placed inside the big
boom at the foot of the mill.
It is expected that the work of
unloading the ties will be completed
this evening and that the Brownie
will be able to resume the back fill
tomorrow morning.
Several more rafts are expected
down within the next few days
from the logging camps up the tiver,
and it is expected that the Brown
hoist will again have to be diverted
to the work of unloading them.
HEAD OF ITALIAN
RED CROSS WAS
CALIFORNIA GIRL
I
GRASS VALLEY, Cal.—Princess
Stigliano Colonna, head of the Ita
lian Red Cross, who died in Rome
recently, was a native of the old
mining camp of LaPorte, Sierra
county. She was a step-daughter of
the late John W. MacKay, miner
and financier, her mother having
married MacKay following the death
of her first husband. Dr. Bryant.
It is said this romance had its in
ception when the young widow went
to thank MacKay for a generous
donation to the fund which w-as
raised by the miners for her relief.
Miss Bryant was born in 1853 and
lived in Sierra county until some
eight years of age. She was edu
caxed abroad and there married
into the Colonna family of Italy,
receiving the title of American
Princess Colonna.

Vruu. Alaska's Interior Pnel Depot
By a deal put through yesterday.
| Harry Dayis, formerly of the Arctic
| Pool hall, took over the interest in
the Terminal held by Mrs. Maud
! Bishop and will henceforth be the
! joint owner of the place with Andy
, Hoey.
The necessary transfer was made
out and duly consummated last
night, and Harry's beaming smile
welcomed the patrons of the Ter
minal this morning.
Mrs. Bishop, who was largely re
sponsible for the success of the
| Terminal, started in business in Ne
nana long before the town was laid
out and lots were sold, in partner
ship with Andy Hoey.
Their first place of business con
sisted of a tent on the waterfront,
from which they moved to the pres
ent building and gradually worked
j it up to its present proportions,
j Mrs. Bishop put in much hard worK
jfrom the very beginning and was at
all times very obliging in catering
■ to the wants of her patrons, as a
result of which the Terminal en
joys a very large trade among the
people of this town and district.
Having now relinquished the cares
of the joint management, which she
so ably carried out, Mrs. Bishop
intends to take a well earned rest,
and will, in all probability, leave
for the Outside on one of the early
boats this summer.
She expects to first visit her old
home in Ohio, after which she will
return to Seattle to look after some
valuable timber lands which she
owns on the Washington coast. She
will remain in Nenana for a few
weeks, taking it easy and visiting
her friends.
ENJOYABLE PARTY
COMING SATURDAY
With special music, splendid floor
and several very good reasons for
celebrating, the dance scheduled to
take place at Union hall on Satur
day night promises to be one of the
most enjoyable parties held in Xe
nana for some time. Assurances
already given the management in
dicate that the attendance will be |
large and it is confidently believed
that Saturday will find all the danc- j
ers of the district eager for the
affair, which is being given in hor.r
of Alaska's longest day.
Prof. Berggren is preparing a
special dance program for the oc
casion and promises a sufficient
variety of dances to suit the most
particular.
