All signs point to an unusually
busy year in Alaska, and particu
larly in Interior Alaska. The fact
that all northbound boats are carry
ing capacity loads of passengers is
indicative of lively times somewhere,
and that somewhere is spread over
a very large part of the Territory,
from Ketchikan to Nome. The fish
:ng industry promises this season
to be much more active than it was
last year; oil development along the
Alaska coast will begin in real earn
est this season; there will be un
usual activity along the entire length
of the Alaska Railroad; and there
will be a revival of the mining in
dustry throughout the Interior, with
a number of new and important pro
jects in the immediate vicinity of
Nenana ready to begin operations
almost as soon as the water runs.
The outlook for Nenana appears
to be particularly bright, -with most
of the railroad activity and a very
large part of the Interior freight
distribution centering here. The ap
proaching summer promises to be
the busiest the town has known thus
far and, if directed carefully, the
greater part of the business develop
ment will be of a permanent char
acter.
It is to be hoped that Congress
will not give serious consideration
to the proposal of that Alabama
representative who would invest fed
eral courts with authority to appoint
receivers to operate coal mines
which have been closed by the strike
The courts already hare too much
power ar.d inclination to obstruct
the efforts of labor to maintain a
decent standard of living and to
add to that power at this time would
be heaping insult on injury. Let it
be shown first that there is an emer
gency warranting Government inter
vention and then let it be demon
strated, it easily can be, that the
mines can be operated in such a
manner as to provide fair wage;
for the miner, fair prices to the con
sumer and fair profit for the own
er. As things stand now, both the
miner and the consumer have a kick
coming and it will not help either
to give capital-controlled courts ad
ditional weapons with which to at
tack legitimate labor demands.
Travelers on the Alaska Railroad
will welcome the announcement that
! new coaches will arrive from the
| States shortly to go into commission
| on the mainline between the coast
1 and Nenana. Oldtimers do not mind
• riding on the jolty jitney which
serves as a passenger coach between
Nenana and McKinley part, but the
time is at hand to give consideration
to the exacting demands of a fussy
tourist traffic.
Fairbanks is going to have a
clean-up campaign during the com
ing month—an entire month of it
if advertisers can be induced to keep
the campaign noise going that long.
And the idea is a good one. Liberal
: application of the rake and paint
I brush would have a most pleasing
I effect upon Nenana's back yards and
1 buildings.

GUESSERS MUST GET BUSY;
ICE POOL IS NEARING CLOSE
Those who desire to participate in
Xenana’s annual breakup classic are
reminded that not many days remain
for registering guesses. The pool
will close at noon, on April 20, by
which time all tickets must be de
posited, properly marked.
The demand for tickets has in
creased steadily during the week
and it is expected that there will be
a steady stream of guesses flowing
into the boxes. The size of the pool
and the fact that it is conducted
with absolute fairness and without
‘rakeoff" of any kind, has an appeal
that is universal. Everybody wants
to take a chance and feels safe in
doing so.
The side betting on the breakup
is not as noticeable this year as was
the case a year ago, but it is ex
pected that the pool will be fully as
large as last year, if not larger.
LIVELY SHOW ANNOUNCED
FOR SUNDAY ATTRACTION
The management of the Orpheum
theater announces an unusually good
picture as an attraction f it Sunday.
The picture is entitled ”23 Hours
Leave”, adapted from the Saturday
Evening Post story written by Mary
Roberts Rhinehart. It is a splendid
story, full of action and clean com
edy, with the leads in the capable
hands of Doris May and Douglas
McLean.
The management is doing the ut
most to give Xenana theater-goers
the best in the line of entertain
ment. Originally, it was the inten
tion to give short programs at a
reduced admission charge, hut now
the Orpheum is called upon to pro
vide all of the entertainment, on
account of the closing of the C ->1
iseum, the management has arranged
for longer and more costly pictures
and has, in addition, engaged the
largest and best orchestra ever as
sembled in Xenana. All of which
necessitates a higher admission price
than was originally planned, but not
more than has been the custom in
the past.
There will be a show tonight
, but on Saturday nigh: the entire
evening will be given over to the
dancers, with splendid music in at
tendance.
