The White Pass is doing1 its best
to popularize the Broad Pass trail.
Even a delegate cannot do every
ting. There is that wage scale, for
example.
The Brooklyn team will simply
have to win the series to still that
talk of selling out.
In the old days of heavy river
travel it was a case of start early
to avoid the rush but nowadays it
is the ice that makes early depart
ures advisable.
It is pleasing to learn that prices
are moving downward in the States.
The slump, if the downward revision
of prices may be termed such, will
not benefit Interior Alaskans this
year, but if the lowering process
continues throughout the winter, it
may be possible for us to replenish
stocks next summer at a price that
will make possible a resumption of
development throughout the Interior
country. Could we look forward in
confidence that such would be the
case, it would make existing Alaska j
somewhat less burdensome. It is not
an easy matter to face a hard and
fast market in Alaska when one i
knows that the profiteers are on the
run in the States.
The carrying of the mail by way
of Broad Pas? marks a new step for
ward for Nenana. It marks the be
ginning of regular travel between
Nenana and the coast and hence
forth that travel will increase at a
steady rate. The awarding of the
mail contract to the A. E. C. will
i
attract practically all the travel to
Broad Pass during the coming win
ter and a year hence the Nenana
trail will be the only one in use be-,
tween Interior Alaske and the coast.'
After that the railroad will put the
traffic on a permanent basis and
trail rivalry will cease for all time.
The unfortunate feature of the
new arrangement is that travel can
not tediverted from one trail to an-;
other without hardship on the
abandoned trail and communities
tributary to it. As conditions are at
the present time in Alaska, there is
not travel enough for two trails and
no community sufficiently prosperous
as to be indifferent to such a loss, j
That Nenana's gain should mean loss 1
to a neighbor is not a pleasing out-!
look, but it is part of the scheme of
development that is now taking
form and is, after all, only speeding
a situation that must have resulted
in any case from the completion of;
the railroad. i
MISS DOROTHY SMITH IS
HOSTESS AT HOME PARTY
Miss Dorothy Smith, daughter of i
Mr. and Mrs. Norvin E. Smith, cel
ebrated her fifth anniversary of her
birth yesterday afternoon at the
Smith cottage on the railroad re-:
serve, many of the youthful play
mates of the little hostess being in
attendance. Games occupied the1
greater part of the afternoon and
at their conclusion the guests en
joyed a delightful luncheon.

Mail Carrier Gibson is preparing

the snow is getting bothersome and
the wind heavy.
