The marketing of Nenana coa.
at Anchorage and Seward, in sue
cessful competition with fuel from
the wide-advertised Matanuska dis
triet, when millions have l een ex
pended by the Government and pri
vate operators in opening ap proper
ties, will have a most pronounced
influence on the future develop
ment of the Interior country. It
marks the real beginning of an in
dustry that gives promise of ex
panding until all of the fuel re
quirements of Alaska are supplied
from the limitless coal deposits ad
jacent to N'er.ana.
Toe development of this promis
ing industry, hitherto regarded as
more or less of a local proposition,
means a back haul for the Govern
ment railroad, steadily increasing
tonnage between N'enana and Fair
banks, and a lowering of fuel costs
along the Tanana and Yukon rivers,
as far away from the mines as St.
Michael and Nome, where the price
of coa! has become almost prohibit
ive.
The •development of the Nenana
coal held is the more noteworthy be
cause of the fact that all of the re
sults thus far achieved have been
accomplished without aid from the
Government, beyond the purchase of
fuel for actual requirements
If Jafet Lindeberg is innocent,
Alaskans would like to know why
he does not return to acoma and
prove that he was ncT. a party to
the wreckoing of the bank in which
numerous Northerners had placed
their savings because former Alas
kans were at the head of the institu
tion; and if he is guilty, how is it
he can avoid punishment merely by
stepping over a State line? Had he
been driven to the extremity of
stealing a loaf of bread to keep his
family from starving, re would
long ago have been dragged back
to Tacoma, even from the most re
mote corner of the country. The
case is of more than usual interest
to Alaskans because of the fact
that Lindeberg made roost of his
money in the Northland.
Either America should send air
men to Europe to learn the art of
manipulating foreign-built dirigible^,
or the work of building dirigibles
should be started in this country.
The wreck of two foreign-built air
ship.-, -within a span of only a few
months, resulting- in the death ->!
scores of Americans and the loss oi
'millions of American money, shoul:
result in some kind of a reforrr
1 movement.

Nenana, Feb. 21
Editor News:
From information leathered fronc
the columns of The News. I learr
that the City Council has under con
sideration the question of the cur
few. and although this is a most
necessary and wise measure, the
matter of the dog menace, allowing
dogs to ran at large and endangei
the lives of our citizens, especially
' those for whom the curfew is in
tended. is of far more importance
and should be considered above al
other questions brought before the
| council. Dogs that ar^ of real use
and benefit to the country and to
their owners never ro-m at will
about the town. They are chained
and carefully looked after. It is
only the useless and idle dogs, so
called pets, we see about our city
streets, growling and barking and
menacing the lives of our little ones
who certainly need our protection
in this great evil of our town. Why
it seems so difficult to enforce an
ordinance for keeping dogs off die
streets. I cannot understand. We
owe it to the children of this town
if none other, to see that they car
at least attend the schools without
'interference from these dangers. 1
1 know of two families at least
who recently left their homes ir
different parts of town and move.i
to the vicinity of rhe school so they
could watch their children goim
the short distance, often accompany
ing them when dogs are seen arounc
From my own experience I wisi
to state, that while at Ruby, my
‘then two small children were at
tacked by dogs and seriously wound

In Nome, a child was actually ton
to pieces and killed, another wa:
wounded and near death's door. Ij

Itear a child to pieces but her cries
; brought assistance and it was res
cued. Also a man was attacked by
a pack of dogs, and that he is alive
today is due to the fact that timely
help arrived.
Do we want to wait until such
occurrences happen in Nenana be
j fore we awake to the fact what a
severe menace it is to allow dogs
to run at large? Should not the
I citv council take up this matter a*
1
once, above all others, and see that
i tie ordinance prohibiting dogs to
roa mat will around the town be
enforced. After this is accomplish

Let us see that this ordinance

OLDTIMER CELEBRATES
NATAL DAY WITH PARTY
Tommy Reams, well known old
timer of the North, a sourdough of
!the vintage of '93, celebrated the
| anniversary of his birth on Satur
! day night. In honor of the day
, he had invited several of his more
: intimate friends to a real sourdough
dinner, served at his cabin on 4th
1 reet. where a most enjoyable
evening was spent.
The piece de resistance was a
succulent goose that had been raised
in Fairbanks. The bird was cooked
to a turn by Bert Brown, a sour
dough of the Nome days; all the
j trimmings were there also, products
of the Northland, even to the bread,
which was made of flour grown and
milled in Tanana valley.
Among those who were present,
besides the host, were A1 Wigand
Thomas Johnson. Bert Brown and
Bob Toustsair.t.

I the following letter from William
Harvie, of Peabody, Mass.: “I am
i sending you a letter addressed to
j Mr. Geo. A. Harvie. in your care.
This is my brother and I have been
trying to locate him for the last
■ twenty-five years, and at last it
seems that I have been successful
in getting his address through a Mr.
R. M. Brown. Will you please see
that this letter is delivered to him
and if it is delivered to him would
. you kindly answer by return mail,
; as I am very anxious to know if
he receives this letter or not, and
will you impress on him to be sure
and answer it.”
Mr. Reaburn would like some as
sistance in carrying out the request

known to him. nor is there any re
