k WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.— k
k At the instance of Secretary k
k Lane the President has with- k
k drawn from entry a townsite at k
k the confluence of the Tauana k
k and Nenana rivers, in Alaska, k
k for the purpose of preserving k
k the town of Nenana. Taken in k
k connection with the Presiden- k
k tial withdrawal of townsites in k
k April last, it is taken as indi- k
k eating a route or branch line of k
k one of the government rail- k
k roads. The Nenana withdrawal k
k is described as beginning at the k
k most northeasterly point of k
k land between the Nenana and k
k Tanana rivers, on the east side k
k of the Nenana river, running k
k thence due north three miles, k
k thence due west three miles, k
k thence due south three miles, k
k thence due east three miles to k

k k
k WASHINGTON, Sept. 22V— k
k Senator Simmons, of North k
k Carolina, hall a conference with k
k the President last evening on k
k the Alaska coal leasing bill. He k
k assured the President, that the k
k Senate would undertake the k
k passage of this measure at the k

k President Wilson expressed the k

k a result of the war, makes it k
k necessary that the bill should k
k be passed at the earliest pos- k
k sible date. He further pointed k

k ministration measures that both k
k the President and Secretary k
