OLDIIHR SAYS
! MUCH FAITH PUT
IN AEROPLANES
Northerner Returns From the Spirit
City; Says Town Experienceng
a War Boom.
Axel Johnson, well-known miner
of Interior Alaska, arrived in Ne
nana Monday, after a trip along the
Pacific coast. Mr. Johnson spent
much time in Seattle and Tacoma
and took in all the sights around
the training camps and shipyards.
| In speaking of the shipbuilding
indusrty in Seattle at the present,
Mr. Johnson says that there is a big
boom in that particular line. The
government has let several big con
tracts to Seattle firms, and thous
ands of men are being employed to
fulfill them. Common labor is a
drug on the market, the town being
full of laborers and no use for them.
The price paid for common labor
at this time is $3.60 per day. The
men that are needed are mechanics,
says, Mr. Johnson, and men who
have a knowledge of shipbuilding and
iron working. Strict discipline is
mantained in and around the yards,
armed guards patrolling everywhere
and the utmost secrecy is kept in
the matter of plans.
Mr. Johnson was through Camp
Lewis on his trip from Tacoma to
Seattle, and stated that it was a
grand spectacle to see the small city
and the thousands of men that are
being whipped into shape daily. The
soldiers seem to favor Seattle as a
place of recreation,as on every Sat
urday night boat, the soldiers come
up to Seattle and spend the week
end, very few comparatively, going
to Tacoma.
Mr. Johnson was in Seattle at
the time the primaries were held
on the Hanson election, and stated
that the present mayor was an easy
winner. Popular will being with
him and one could not get a bet
on him, no matter what odds were
offered.
The city of Seattle, says Mr.
Johnson, is crowded to the extreme,
thousands of people having come
there from various places in the
States, and on some nights, when
the soldiers are in town, it is almost
impossible to get a room or a bed.
Despite the fact that the people are
enjoying good times, there seems to
■ be an undercurrent of feeling that
i the boom is not stable, and will not
- last. For that reason hotels and
» other businesses that are booming
- now, are changing hands every day,
3 the owners wishing to sell while the
- stock is up in the air and get out
f from under when the break comes.
• You can buy a house cheaply enough
says Mr. Johnson, but when you
attempt to rent one, it is a different
story. Rents are sky high.
The food conservation is as strict
. on the coast as in the East, and the
, restaurants are very sparing in their
. menus. The order in effect that
a person could buy 20 pounds of
flour was changed to 20 pounds of
substitutes, and no butter or sugar
is served unless asked for.
1 When asked what the general
trend of opinion seemed to be on
the coast as to the war, and the du
ration of hostilities, Mr. Johnson
stated that the people pin their faith
entirely on the aeroplanes which are
j being manufactured by the United
States now. He stated that is the
I general feeling that if the Allies
can hold the superior numbers of
Germans back for one year more, j
, l or until the airplanes are in France,
, | that everyone is confident that the
struggle will cease to be a struggle
; after that . Mr. Johnson will be in
Nenana for a while ,and is registered
at the Southern.

I Grace Presbyterian church, to

meals furnished at all messes.
The use of hunger sheets will be
discontinued on this date, as all
meals furnished to either employees
or contractors must be settled for
by meal tickets or cash.
Timekeepers must be present at
mess houses at meal hours for the
collection of meal tickets and cash,
which must be collected before meals
are furnished. This rule will be

for, care must be exercised in their
preparation and handling. One copy
will be retained in the book and
the remaining copy must be for
warded to the special disbursing
agent along with the remittance of
cash.

the value of 41 2-3 cents each, and
are in the following denominations:
$8.75, $10, $18.75, $37.50.
The presentr ate of meals at the
Nenana mess will be changed to
41 2-3 cents per meal. Meal books
at the old rate of 25 cetns for
breakfast and 50 cents for dinner
and supper, in the possession of em
ployees, may be used until ex
hausted.

Dr. Malcolm E. Smith, who was
called to Fairbanks last month on
court business, left the upper town
for Nenana yesterday morning and
is due here sometime this evening.
He is making the trip down with

ment hospital.
The doctor was to have made the
