The time has arrived in the life
of Nenana for the establishment of
a bank. Nenana is the only town
of consequence in tSie Territory
which has no such business enter
prise, and there is no town in the
Territory which has greater promise
■of growth and stability. :Had a bank
been established here at the time
N'enana was founded by th; Gov
ernment, it would ■ have paid sub
stantial returns on the investment
throughout the several years the
town has been in existence; nd it
would be an equally saf • investment
now.
A bank in N’enana would have op
portunity to serve .» large—very
large part of Interior Alaska. Tie
purchase of gold dnrt alone, from
nearby producing districts, might
easily be made to pay most of the
cost of operating a bank and, as
for deposits, the people of Nenana
and surrounding districts would wel
come the opportunity to place their
money in a home institution, in
stead of sending it to other towns
or carrying it around with them.
The New's believes that N’enana
needs a bank and is.well able to
support one. And if Outside capital
cannot be induced to establish such
an institution, The News believes
the matter should be taken in hand
by the citizens of .Venana themselves
and without delay.

VOTE FOR
JAMES L. GALEN
FOR
Delegate to Congress
IN
REPUBLICAN PRIMARY
APRIL 25th, 1922
The “New Bill" now pending before Congress, was drawn by
Secretary Fall wbo is attempting to force its passage, and is re
ceiving the support of Governor Bone and Delegate Sutherland.
In the third section of the “New Bill” is a provision that, upon
its completion, tb- Secretary of the Interior may lease the Gov
ernment railway, with Government steamers connecting therewith,
to private interests. Secretary Fall has declared that if given this
power he will exercise it. This provision menaces every industry of
Interior Alaska. It gives absolute control of the coal and quartz
mines tributary to the Railway to the “private interests” who may
operate it. The vast coal fields of the Interior are valuable only if
the coal can be landed cheaply at the market. Those who control
the transportation completely control the mines. The owners of the
mines are entirely at their mercy. The same is true of all smelt
ing ores, both gold and copper. Such a provision affords an op
portunity to defeat every purpose for which Congress spent the
$56,000,000.00 the railway has already cost. .
... You have the option to return to Congress the present delegate,
who is giving this measure his active support, or Mr. Galen, who
is openly opposing it.
