AUSTRIANS MAKE JOKE
OF TOBACCO RATIONING
AMSTERDAM.—The proposed ra
tioning of tobacco in Austria has
come to a ludicrous and ignominious
end. The number of individual ap
plications from smokers was pro
digious. In Vienna alone it is cal
j culated that scores of thousands of
non-smokers must have registered
as tobacco consumers, presumably
I for the benefit of their freinds. The
; result would have been the appor
tionment of about one cigarette
; daily to each applicant. The whole
I scheme has now been dropped.

priorities commissioner of war in
dustries board: ‘Referring to per
sonal conference with you and cor
respondence passing between us re
cently, I beg to advise that priorities
board has adopted the following re
solution : “Be it resolved by the
Priority Board that gold mining is
an essential war industry and that
the powers of this board will be
so exercised as to accord to such
industry preferential treatment in
the supply, not only of tools, ma
chinery and equipmen, but in trans
portation service, fuel supply and
labor supply.” ’ Expect other fav
orable action from other depart
ments for relief of gold miners in
near future also hope for legislative
relief.
SULZER.
, , ^ »■ Delegate.”
to which the following reply has
been sent:
Nenana, Alaska, Aug. It*, 191S
“Chas. A. Sulzer, Delegate from
Alaska, House of Representatives

“Yours seventeenth, legislative re
lief in way of bonus seems essential
in addition preferential treatment.
In this part Interior only the strong
est financially now able continue
operations under increased costs and
these are hanging on only in hope
of relief. Thanks for help secured
which should be supplemented at
once along bonus lines or mining
will cease.
NENANA COMMERCIAL CLUB"
To further strengthen the hands
of our delegate and support his ef
forts to obtain the bonus, which
means so much to the gold mining
industry in Alaska, the following
wires were sent to Fairbanks and
Hot Springs, requesting their co
operation:
Nenana, Alaska, Aug. 19, 1918
“Fairbanks Commercial Club,
“Fairbanks Alaska.
“Presume Sulzer wired you re
garding decision Priorities Board,
placing gold mining essential war
industry and preferential treatment.
We are repeating his telegram sent
us for the information of Hot
Springs and suggest you inform

also wiring Sulzer regard bonus; ab
solutely necessary if such mines

“Huddleston & Co.,

ing is essential war industry and

and equipment, also transportation,

bill pending in Congress authorizing

publicity for general information.
Suggest you people wire Sulzer,
stating necessity bonus to help pass
age of bill.
NENANA COMMERCIAL CLUB’1
It is very tdieburaging to know
that the Priorities Commissioner of
the War Industries Board has decid
ed that gold mining is an essential
industry and that preferential treat
ment will be accorded in the supply
,of tools, machinery and equipment
and in transportation service, fuel
and labor supply.
The delegate expresses confidence
in being able to obtain favorable
action from other government de
partments for the relief of gold min-'
ers soon and also hopes for legis-:
lative relief.
The passage of a bill which will
ensure a bonus to gold miners will i
have the instantaneous effect of
stimulating the mining industry in!
Alaska, and this can only be done
by co-operation and concerted ac
tion of all those who are in any,
way interested in the welfare of
Alaska.

Seventy hours constitute the
record time for the journey between
Talkeetna and Anchorage. It was
made last month by C. G. Cameron,
timekeeper, and R. F.. Krautter, !
storekeeper, for the Talkeetna dis
trict, who were accompanied by Mrs.
Cameron and Mrs. Krautter. The j
party came from Talkeetna to An- J
chorage by boat and train. Before
the advent of the railroad, about
seven days were required to make
the journey from Talkeetna to An-;
chorage.
