FOR IHEJTERIOR
The Tanana Valley now, boasts of
a flo^ir mill, the first In the history
of Interior Alaska, if not in the his
tory of the whole territory.
On a recent boat Magnus Nelson,
ono of the progressive ranchers of
the district, received his flour mill
and Is now prepared to make his
own flour from wheat grown on his
farm. The mill is but the beginning,
marking the fcommencement of an
epoch in the history of agricultural
Interior Alaska. The step from this
period of the little hand flour mill to
the great milling establishment of
the future may extelfd over a con
siderable period of time, as world af
fairs arc counted today, but at least
one enthusiastic and r.ticcessful far
mer of the district believes it will be
in tho lifetime of the hardy pioneers
that arc now tilling the soil.
Mr, Nelson intends only to make
his own (lour at this time, but the
very fact that he is able to do it in
dicates to other farmers that it will
be but a short time until many of
them are installed in the ranches of
the district.
Many efforts have been put forth
to boom the Industries of the Tan
ana and the farmers would now like
to have some financier or capitalist
get around him enough people in
terested in the country to build one
large mill that will be able to handle
all the wheat raised in the country,
that it may be turned to flour and
thus cut down the expense of the con
sumer.
To many this may seem an idle
dream, but to the farmers who start
ed to grow spuds and other vegetables
when people Jeered at them, and who
have proven the industry a success,
it is a serious proposition.

That LmH—1« Not*
Editor Prospector: Lest we forget,
permit mo in this ruction over the
Lusitania note (meaning of course,
the first of the endless chain of notes) ]
in connection with Mr. Bryan's denial
of the postscript story now disturbing
the peace, be it remembered that Just
after Mr. Bryan slipped out of the job
of Secretary of State and the first Lu
sitania note was published the ex-sec
retary emitted a loud squawk averr
ing that the note was changed and
modified after he resigned. Secretary
Lansifig denied the charge and the
president allowed It to be understood
that Lansing's denial was straight
goods.
The news dispatch states that Mr
Bryan said he did not resign from th •
cabinet until more than a year after
“the supposed incident.” As the l.u i
tania was sunk in April, 1915. and
Mr. Bryan resigned in June, 1915. b*
cause he did not like the (ext or Wi!
son’s proposed note to Germany «>t
the Lusitania "incident” and the i eie
or a purported note was given out by
the State Department a day o, . v. ...
later it is apparent that Mr. B’y.i.
has the chronology of the incideu'
mussed up with his Chautauqua d.trs
Anybody who wants to refresh hi:
memory about the “incident" of the
Lusitania note and Mr. Bryan's resig
nation need only burrow in newspa
per files of June, 1916, or maga/.iui
of July, 1915.
