A SEATTLE VIEW.
The chief burden of Alaska is the
burden of federal hureacracy, as
serts the Seattle Times.
The resources of the Territory
have been so consistently over-ad
ministered that they have not bees
developed to anything like their ful'
extent.
A change in the Government's
policy toward the Territory is due
in the near future.
Having completed a railroad there,
the federal authority must see to it
that the line pays—if not at once,
then as speedily as possible.
There is but one way in which
that end may be achieved.
Alaska must be made attractive
to settlers and investors.
The first step must be the bring
ing of federal control, to whatever
extent exercised, closer to the coun
try.
This move inevitably will result in
a consolidation of federal bureaus.
Instead of a flock of them, each
having to do with some one feature
of Alaskan affairs, there will be one
bureau dealing with all these mat
ters and resident in the Territory.
A common sense move of this
kind inevitably would lead to the
relaxation of the absurd regulations
that have acted as a brake on the
wheel of prosperity in the Northland
for many years.
In achieving this desirable result,
the assistance of Seattle must be
tendered freely and to the fullest
extent.
No other local enterprise should
divert the city’s attention from the
Territory’s development.
Many things influence industry.
Commerce is directed this way and
that by international trade competi
tion.
But Alaska always will remain at
Seattle’s front door, contributing to
the prosperity of this city just in
the proportion that its natural re
sources are made available for the
use of an increasing population.
TIME FOR ACTION.
With almost every important pa
per in the States publishing misrep
resenting tales regarding the depie
tion of Nome’s population and the
reduction in local industries, it ap
pears high time, protests the Nome
Nugget, that something was done to
offset the decidedly unwarranted and
highly injurious impression that i
bound to result from their dissem
ination.
If the district is to progress, it
must have more people and more
outside capital. But it is u moral
certainty that neither settlers noi
investors will come here if they art
under the impression that we art
so utterly decadent as the newspa
per reports suggest. No one but a
fool would think of coming to r
community the population of whict
was steadily declining and whose
industries were steadily growing les;
poductive. We cannot expect peo
ple to come here if the impressior
of decadence bred by the stories re
ferred to is allowed to persist. An<]
the sooner the citizens of Nona
wake up to the fact, the better fpi
themselves.
RUSH IS ON TO CORDOVA.
I Every Cordova-bound passenger
'boat from Seattle, and there are
now six or seven eacfc month, says
the Cordova Times, is bringing a
capacity load, and Cordova is re
ceiving its full quota of newcomers,
jin fact, more than one-third of all
j passengers booked for Alaska are
j coming to Cordova, and from pres
ent indications our population will
| be increased this summer by at
least fifteen hundred people. Many
i of these are coming to work in the
j canneries, while others are interest
ed in the oil Helds, mining, and
other lines of endeavor. It all spells
!prosperity for Cordova, and the out
look never was brighter.

Nenana, Alaska, April 27, 1920.
For the Information of the Public
I in Regard to the Threatening:
| Epidemic:
At the present time there are, on
[information from the health officer
| at Fairbanks, over a hundred eases
i of influenza there, and the number
jis rapidly increasing:, and within the
past twenty-four hours four cases
have been received at the local (!ov
! eminent hospital. While this pres
ent epidemic of influenza is, so far,
[in no way as severe as the “Spanish
[influenza” that swept over the Unit
led States and other countries last
year, yet it is clearly the duty of
[everybody to do all in their power
j to prevent its spreading through this
icommunity and possibly developing
[into a severer form.
1 So far, there have been no fa
talities and a vast majority of the
j cases have quickly responded to
medical treatment.
Owing to the nature of the trans
mission of this disease, people
should avoid congregating in public
'places or in unnecessary numbers
■ in private homes; they should take
!every precaution to keep their sys
tems in active condition; they
I should keep their houses well ven
tilated and be in the'fresh air as
I much as possible, and they should
promptly report to the public health
officer any cases of illness that come
I to their notice. Only by the hearty
j co-operation of everyone in the
[community can the work of tiho
local health board be made most
effective.
| The local Health Board hereby
.orders to be closed all places of
public assembly such as schools,
churches, picture shows and public
.dances, and forbids the congrega
tion of crowds of people in stores,
IKjolhalls, hotel lobbies or other
.public places, until further notice.

POOL WILL CLOSE
N TOWN TONIGHT
Those Nenanaites who are inter
ested in the annual breakup are
reminded that the Baseball Consola
tion ice pool, which was arranged
by the baseball committee for the
joint benefit of the winner of the
pool and the local baseball fund, will
come to a close at midnight tonight,
at which time the boxes will be
sealed to await the official breakup
! of/the Tanana river.
Many of those who have ventured
guesses in this pool guessed early,
and it is expected that a number
of them will be anxious to change
their guesses before the pool closes,
one way or another, according to
present indications.
The money which will be retained
by the baseball committee will be
applied to a worthy cause, and if
jthe proceeds are sufficient it will;
not be necessary later to ask the
jpublic to make direct contributions.
It was with the object of avoiding
such subscriptions that the pool was
arranged.
Sixty percent of the pool will go
to the winner, and the remainder to
the baseball fund.
Reports from along the upper
Tanana river today indicate a gen
eral maximum temperature of about
48 degrees with light snow and rain.
