TO THE
VOTERS OF NENANA AND VICINITY
At the special election to be held tomorow you will be afforded
an opportunity of voting for THE CONTINUATION OF WORK
ON THE GOVERNMENT RAILWAY OR ITS INDEFINITE SUS
PENSION. For your vote, no matter how you cast it, will be
recorded either AGAINST Wickersham or FOR Wickersham. If
you vote for Grigsby you will be voting against Wickersham, and
IF YOU VOTE FOR JONES YOU WILL BE VOTING FOR
WICKERSHAM. Likewise, if you vote for Wickersham-—or Jones,
the manager in the Ketchikan district of Wickersham’s last cam
paign—you will be telling Congress in quite unmistakable terms
that you indorse Wickersham’s attack on the government railroad
and his bill which limits further expenditure to four million
dollars, a sum entirely insufficient to complete the project. And
if Jones should win at tomorrow’s election Wickersham will be
the next delegate, for there will be no one to oppose his contest
of last November’s election.
When the late Delegate Sulzer was making his fight for the
seat he was rightfully' awarded Wickersham was asked, says the
Congressional Record of January 4, 1919, by one of the congress
men from Mississippi, if there would be a contest over this last
election, and he replied, hoping thereby to favorably influence his
hearers, “NOT IF I LOSE.” And in the face of this statement
he is now trying to appropriate the honors accorded to a dead man.
When Delegate Sulzer died this emergency election became a
necessity, and the legislature made regulations governing it which
insure that the man elected can go to Washington as the repre
sentative of the territory at the first regular session of Congress
in December. The Democrats held their convention and George
B. Grigsby, the present attorney-general of Alaska, was unani
mously agreed upon as the candidate of the party. Mr. Grigsby
then challenged Wickersham to enter the race, so it might b»
definitely decided with the least possible delay which of the two
men was the choice of the people, but Truthful James knew better
than to adopt the straightforward course. He preferred to give
another exhibition of that wonderful fighting ability of his in the
hope that he could gain a decision over a dead man.
And in the meantime, to discredit Grigsby, he instructs his
supporters to vote for his henchman, Jones, who is made to pose
as a labor candidate in the hope of gathering in the votes of such
labor men as are not acquainted with the circumstances in addition
to the normal Wickersham support.
The purpose of this appeal is to point the importance of voting.
Do not neglect to go to the polls just because you are certain
Grigsby will defeat Jones by an overwhelming majority. That
majority must be swelled to the limit by the voters of Nenana
and the other railroad towns if they would CONVINCE CON
GRESS THAT THEY ABSOLUTELY REPUDIATE WICKER
SHAM’S ATTACK ON SECRETARY LANE AND HIS EFFORT
TO RETARD THE BUILDING OF THE RAILROAD.
A vote for Grigsby means capable representation at Washing
ton by a man qualified in every respect to intelligently fight for
the interests of the territory.
A vote for Jones will tell the people who make the railroad
appropriation that you agree with Wickersham.
Is it worth while voting?

VALDEZ TRAIL IS
10 BE REPAIRED
VERV THOROUGHLY
Superintendent Morrison of the i
federal road commission arrived in >
Fairbanks late on Thursday evening |
on a tour of inspection over the!
trail. Ke expects to return to head-1
quarters in Valdez in a few days, j
Captain John Zug, who also is in j
Fairbanks at the present time, ex-1
pects to remain there for the sum- j
mer, and wiil look after the work
to be done on the trail.
Superintendent Morrison stated j
that the commission will spend ]
$180,000 on repairs to the Fair
banks-Valdez trail this summer, and
that the repairs will be of such a
nature as to permit of travel at all
seasons of the year.
There are several places along
th trail which are extremely difficult I
to get over after the rains, and i
these places will be put in shape I
permanently. The work is to be
directed from the Chitina end. One
crew will work out of Fairbanks on
the section of the trail between
Fairbanks and Richardson.
Several bad places between the!
Rapids roadhouse and Yost’s are to:
bo graveled and raised above the !
moisture. Between Meiers and Sour- j
dough a considerable stretch of the
trail is almost impassable except on :
very dry days; this stretch is to be'
built up so that traffic may pass
over it at any time of the year. |
Superintendent Morrison also stat- j
ed that the federal road commission
will collaborate with the territorial
road commission relative to the mat
ter of road repairs.

just been renovated. Has sanitary
baths and furnishings. Shampooing
and electric drying a specialty.

R. C. Wood, of the First Na-1
tional bank, Fairbanks, received a
wire this morning from his brother,
Frank, informing him that he had
been promoted to the rank of lieu
tenant and that he had been de
tailed for duty with Hoover’s food
relief commission in Paris.
Some time ago, Frank, who had
been acting as one of the guards at
the peace conference building, re
ceived a certificate of eligibility for
promotion to officer’s rank, and the
promotion he has now received was
not altogether unexpected.
As there is a very busy time
ahead for the members of the Am
erican food commission in Europe,
it is unlikely that Frank Wood will
. return to Alaska for some time.

TRAINS WILL GO
ON NIGHT SHIFT
Beginning on Wednesday, the dis
patch of passengers and freight to
the end of the line south of Nenana
will be changed from a day to a
night service, the change being the
result of a shortage of rolling stock ’
in this division. The commission
,has only four main line locomotives
and a switch engine, and one of the
former is undergoing repairs at the
machine shops, leaving only four
, in active service. These are all
i needed out the line at present, on
j surfacing and other important work,
! necessitating an abandonment of the
; regular day schedule until such time
| as the engine now being repaired
I is restored to service.
The trains will run twice a week
jas usual, the only change being
jthat the trips will be made at night
| instead of during the day, as here
1tofore.

SOCIAL TONIGHT
The ladies of Nenana will be the
guests of the Pioneers tonight at
the social session of the local igloo,
immediately following the regular
meeting. The doors will be opened ,
to the ladies about nine o’clock, by !
which time, it is believed, the busi- j
ness meeting will have been con- i
eluded.
A program of interesting num
bers has been arranged for the oc
casion, following which the old
timers will serve light refresh
ments, and there is a possibility
that the evening’s entertainment
will be concluded with an informal
dance.
The Pioneers wish the ladies to
know that it is not necessary for
them to have a special invitation
to attend the social, and all ladies
will be welcomed, whether they I
have relatives belonging to the igloo j
or not. The ladies also have the j
privilege of choosing escorts outside I
the ranks of the Pioneers.
The business meeting of the igloo
will be called to order promptly at
eight o'clock, and it is the desire
of the oficers to see as many mem
bers present as possible, both on
account of the importance of the
business to be transacted and on
account of the preparations which
have been made for the social fea
ture of the evening. Members of
other igloos are invited to be
present.

SAYS RED CROSS
IS BEST EVER
1
Emil Hartwick received a letter
on the last mail from George
Krause, a Ruby registrant, who is
now doing duty with the American
expeditionary force in Harbin, Man
churia. Corporal Krause is a mem
ber of Company B, 31st infantry,
and writing under date of March
20th, he says: “I am still on top
of mother earth and just as hard
to get along with as ever. As you
will see by the letterhead, I am in
Manchuria, at Harbin, on the rail
way line.
“We arrived here about a month
ago from Vladivostok, Siberia. Our
trip on the railroad was some ex
perience. There were 26 of us in
each side-door Pullman. I slept with
six others on the top tier in one
end of the Pullman, from which
you may guess about how much room
we had; but, taking the trip in all,,
it was something to remember. It
was a new experience, and, as you
know, I was always willing to try
anything once.
“We see some great sights in and
around this place. In the poor sec
tion in this country, when a Chink
dies they just wrap him in a piece
of straw matting and throw him
over the fence, and if there is no
fence, they leave the body in any
old place, just so it is not lying up
against their own doorstep.
“After seeing these things and
the filthy way they, have of living,
it is a wonder to me that so many
of them are alive, instead of all
being killed off by plague and other
diseases.
“I must say a word for the Am
erican Red Cross. They are doing
a great work in Russia, Siberia and
in this section, and there is still a
great deal more they can do if they
were able to do it. From what I
saw of their work, they are doing
all that is possible for human hands
and brains to do, with the re
sources at their command. They
are an organization to be proud of,
and from this time on they wiil
get all the help I can possibly give
them.
“I have not had anything serious
happen to me so far, and hope to
show up in Alaska again some day.
Say ‘Hello’ to all the boys for me,
and tell Eric that I hope to take
the prize again in the next pool
tournament in Ruby.”

IN k E. C. OFFICES
To meet the extra work devolv
ing on the office force of the A.
E. C., as a result of the increase
in the construction forces made re
cently, the clerical staff has been
increased, and it is expected that
further additions will have to be
made when the full working force
which the A. E. C. officials figure
on employing for the season has
been arranged for.
R. J. Sharkey has been appointed
timekeeper of surfacing camp No.
2, relieving M. D. McCambridge,
who was transferred to the elec
trical department as lineman.
Frank Wiseman, of Fairbanks,
arrived on the Douse launch Vic
tory yesterday and will join the
staff either as timekeeper or shop
clerk.
Miss Luella Shaffer, principal of
the Franklin K. Lane school, has
been appointed clerk in the time
keeping office.
It is expected that several more
appointments will be made shortly
to bring the clerical staff to the
full working strength for the
season’s activities.
