WORLD WAR WILL BE WON
BY LAST BUSHEL OF WHEAT
Herbert 0. Iloo\or. the national food
controller, ha~ issued the following state
ment. which is made public in the Official
Bulletin:
The weapons in this war are fighting
pien. munitions, food, ships and finance.
If we are to defend liberty in this year
1917 all these must be upon such a scale
as will demand the energies of our people.
In previous wars a small proportion of the
community went to fight, another small por
tion was devoted to their support, but the
great bulk of the nation did “business as
usual.”
Autocracy has been for years organizing
its resources to the end that they have
placed one out of seven of its population
on the fighting line and have so mobilized
the civil population as to afford them com
plete support. They have suppressed pro
duction of every luxury and reduced even
every necessity. Their arrogant confidence
that they will become “masters of the
world” is based upon their belief that the
materialism, the selfishness and the jealousy
of individual interests in democracy make
it impossible for it to organize such a
strength. They do not deny the bravery
of the men of democracy in battle, bu: they
comfort themselves in the belief that we
have not the self-sacrifice at home for their
support.
Our problem is not alone to mobilize our
civilian population for the support of our
fighting men, blit we also have the respon
sibility of the support of the fighting men
of our allies. And food is not the least of
their necessities. One of the great Euro
pean statesmen has .aid: "The war will
not be won by the bast 500,000 fighting men.
but will be won by the last 500,000 bushels
of wheat” It is within our ability to give
this last 500.000 bushels, but only if we or
ganize to produce, organize to save, and
organize to supply all.
We must feed our allies that their people
may remain constant in the war. Liberty
cannot be maintained upon the empty stom
achs of the women and children. Through
the drain of war our allies have steadily
decreased in food production and other
agencies also curtailed their supplies. Out
of our abundance, by eliminating waste and
extravagance, it is in our power, and in
our power alone, to hold the wolf from the
door of the world. Our obligation is greater
than war itself humanity demands it of us.
We must save in all food. We must eat
plenty, but wisely and without waste. If
we save in our consumption and our waste
we can increase our surf lus to export ; if
we substitute other commodities for those
we can export we can further increase our
surplus.
rurtmrmnre, by our economies we can
save a major portion of the cost of the
war. We can increase our ability to sub
scribe to liberty loans. If we can save
food we can lower the price of living to our
own people and relieve the strain and dis
tress under which they labor today. We
ccn only do this by organization so that
there shall be no profiting from our econ
omy. that all bear the burden equally.
The food administration is a volunteer
organization to be endowed with powers by
the government. This volunteer organiza
tion is not to be limited to a few executives
in Washington. We are solicitous, nay anx
ious, to secure as actual members of this
volunteer effort every man and every
woman, every boy and girl in these United
States who will undertake the task with us.
There is no dictatorship in volunteer effort.
It is by voluntary mobilization that we
can answer autocracy with democracy. It
is as great in efficiency and greater in
spirit.

ALASKA AIRPLANES
Alaska has been too remote from Ameri
can war preparations to suit its patriotic
citizens, but the war news has been fol
lowed closely, and territorial newspapers
have devoted much space to it in response
to the public demand. A national guard
regiment is in process of organization, and
citizens are to register willingly under the
conscription lawr, but Alaska has not found
opportunity to do all for the nation that it
would like to do.
Uncle Sam’s recent order to Juneau citi
zens for a million feet of clear Alaska spruce ;
| for airplane construction thus brings pleas
, ure to all the people of the territory.
Alaska spruce is the ideal wood for the ■
airplane, light and strong, and probably the
best for this particular purpose. The gov
ernment is to commence building 20,000
or 80,000 of these machines at once, for use
in France, and they are to have an impor
tant part in the final decision of the war.
Alaska forests are capable of furnishing un
limited quantities of the wood desired, and
its mills will be utilized to the fullest ex
tent. The great w'ar thus reaches out its
finger and touches the wilderness of the
North. Before it shall have ended the wil
derness may contribute the deciding factor
in the great struggle.—Seattle Post-Intelli
gencer.

NEW GOVERNMENT RAILROAD
TO BE IMPORTANT FACTOR
IN SOLVING WAR PROBLEMS j
——
The Official Bulletin, issued by tbe gov
'ernmcnt, contained tbe following interesting
statement relative to tbe Alaska railway in
tbe issue of July 10:
The importance of the early completion
of the government railroad in Alaska in
helping the United States to meet the bur
dens of war is set forth in a statement au
thorized by the secretary of the interior.
This railroad, it is pointed out, will hasten
the development of Alaska’s vast resources;
will encourage the production of foodstuffs,
thus reducing the territory’s dependence
upon the United States for supplies will
furnish coal in unlimited quantity for the
navy, obviating the necessity for the trans
continental shipment to the Pacific of fuel
for government vessels, and at the same
time release thousands of cars for the trans
portation of war materials and foodstuffs.
The statement follows:
“On March 12, 1914, the Alaskan railroad
act was approved by the President. This
act authorized and directed the President
to locate a railroad in the territory of
Alaska not to exceed in the aggregate 1,000
miles. The purposes of the road, as set
forth in that act, were as follows:
“1. To connect one or more of the open
Pacific ocean harbors on the southern coast
of Alaska with the. navigable waters in the
Interior.
“2. To connect with the coal fields so as
best to aid in the development of the agri
cultural and mineral or other resources.
“3. To provide transportation of coal
for the army and navy, transportation of
troops, munitions of war, the mails, and for
other government and public uses, including
the transportation of passengers and freight.
“The primary purpose of the railroad sys
tem authorized in the act was to develop
the mineral resources of Alaska, particularly
its coal.
Parts Under Construction
“The main line of the road is now under
construction from Seward, on the Pacific
coast, inland for 470 miles to Fairbanks, on
the Tanana river, a large and navigable
tributary of the Yukon. There is now in
operation 150 miles.
“The road taps two large coal fields, the
Matanuska and the Nenana. The coal in
the Matanuska field has been tested by the
navy and found to be excellent for steaming
purposes. The Nenana coal was recently
tested by the bureau of mines and found to
be a fair grade of lignite. It is estimated
that the supply in both of these fields is
practically inexhaustible. By September of
this year the branch line will be completed
to the heart of the Matanuska coal field.
Dredging is under way at Anchorage, the
nearest tidewater port to the coal fields,
in order that deep-draft ocean vessels may
be loaded at the docks When the gap.
atout twenty-five miles in length, along
Turnagain arm, between Anchorage and
Seward, is completed, coal can be shipped
from the latter port. It is planned to ciose
this gap earlv in 1018.
Now Using Matanuska Coal
“The commission in charge of the rail
road work is now using coal mined from
the Matanuska field in the construction of |
the line. Construction work is being done j
as rapidly as possible, and it is estimated
that at the present rate Matanuska coal can
be delivered for the needs of the navy and
for general use on the Pacific coast in the j
early summer of 191S.
“The railroad is also being constructed |
southward from Fairbanks to tap the Ne
nana field, making the coal here available i
for the development of such mineral de- !
posits as copper, antimony end gold in this
part of the country. Mining here is prac
tically at a standstill, owing to the lack of J
suitable fuel. The Nenana coal will also be i
made available for u.-e on the railroad loco
motives and on the river steamers of the !
Interior.
Rich Valleys Traversed
“The railroad traverses several rich ag- I
ricultural valleys, the development of which ’
will add to the increase of our food supply, I
in that it will supply Alaska’s needs and j
obviate the necessity of making shipments J
of food products from the States. Along
the many streams adjacent to the railroad :
is found a plentiful supply of cottonwood j
anu spruce, from which large quantities of
pulp for paper-making can be derived.
“The importance of immediatey complet
ing this railroad can more readily be ap
preciated when it is seen that the navy
could then be supplied with fuel on the
Pacific coast, without having it shipped
across the continent by rail, thus releasing
thousands of cars for the transportation of
war materials and food; and would also
release the ocean tonnage which is now re
quired to carry from the States practically
all of the coal consumed by the mining,
fishing and other industries in Alaska.”
RESPONSE OF FARMERS
TO PRESIDENT’S APPEAL
WASHINGTON, July 9—That President
Wilson’s appeal for larger crops than were
ever raised before in the history of the
United States in 1917 did not fall on deaf
ears is evidenced by the report of crop
conditions received from all parts of the
country by the department of agriculture.
The reports show that bumper crops have
been raised or are being raised everywhere,
and that the output of the soil this year
will be approximately one billion more
bushels of the principal food crops than in
1916. The largest increase is noted in corn,
of which fully a half billion more bushels
will be raised this year than last. The other
half billion increase is from bumper crops
of other food cereals and garden products,
raised chiefly in home gardens, the latter a
direct answer to the appeal of the President.
Wheat shows the smallest increase of any
crop, for the reason that there was no war
in sight at the time the crop was planted
last fall.
At the time war was declared President
Wilson issued an appeal to the American
farmer saying that the fate of the war and
of the nation rested upon him and his abil
• to raise crops. The answer to his dec
laration is evidenced in the reports to the
department.

Murder by Native
Deputy Marshal Harry Brown reported
July X that Knik Nikolai had murdered
Talkeetna Stepan, a “bad Indian,” up the
Susitna river, a few days ago, and is now
at large, presumably in the neighborhood
of Knik, says the Seward Gateway of July 7.
The wfe of Stepan, Negolia Stepan, com
mitted suicide the morning after the crime.
Nikolai beat Stepan to death with a club.
A daughter, Iga, a child by Negolia’s first
marriage, survives. Marshal Brown expects
the murderer to make his way to Knik,
where he was born. Nikolai comes from a
warring family, his father having murdered
the storekeeper of an old trading company
a,t Knik several years ago, for which he
paid the death penalty.

Insane Man Drowned
Word was received in Seward recently
that L. Undurich, an insane man from
Unalaska, while being transported to the
Morningside asylum, in Oregon, in charge
of Deputy Marshal C. W. Mossman of An
chorage, and three guards, escaped from the
steamer Mariposa on June 2." while the ship
was between Seward and Valdez by crawl
ing through the porthole of his stateroom,
and was drowned. There were two other in
sane patients aboard being taken to the
sanitarium. Undurich was in irons at the
time of the escape. He was a man of such
slender build that he found little difficulty
in squeezing through the porthole.
Strike Still Continues
The strike at the Kennecott copper mines
still continues, according to the Juneau Em
pire of July 13. The government requested
that the men return to work pending arbi
tration, but because the company refused
to allow certain men whom they termed
“agitators” to resume work, the request was
not complied with, the miners stating that
they will not return until all are taken back.
United States troops are stationed at the
mines, and order prevails.
♦
Cutter to Aid Registration
The coast guard cutter Unrlga, Captain
Dodge commanding, touched at Seward on
July 12, en route to Valdez to secure mili
tary registration supplies, after which it was
to make a tour of the canneries to the west
ward to register the men of military ag°
according to the Seward Gateway of July
12. The Unalga's trip for registration wdl
take a considerable burden of responsibility
off the shoulders of the clerk of the court,
and insures the registration of hundreds of
employes of the canneries who otherwise
would probably escape registration. Owing
to the infrequent mails to the westward,
particularly the Bristol Bay section, it would
be almost impossible under the circum
stances to get the necessary registration sup
plies to other points before the end of the
period set for registration in the territory,
and in many instances the canneries would
be closed and the men gone before the
registration officials could get action.
A
Labor Scares on Railroad
Men for grade, station and section crews
are in great demand on the Seward division i
of the United States railroad, according to j
the Gateway of July 13. R. J. Weir, engi- |
peer in charge, now has 7.70 men employed,
and says that he is employing u'l comers. I
He states that there is no excuse f-r any !
man in that part of Alaska being out of era
ployment. Bailacting of the line between
Seward and Mile 12 will be commenced soon,
and it looks as though it will be necessary [
to u: e the section crews from all along the ,
line, as there are no ether men available.
A.
Marshal's Expenditures
For the Juno quarter of the fiscal year
1917 the marshal's office has completed its
financial report, says the Fairbanks News
Miner of July 24. It shows that during
that period approximately ¥15,000 more
was spent than during the same period of :
1916. This is easily explained, however,
by the fact that there were not sufficient j
funds last year to most the expenses, and j
some of them were all .wed to run over un- j
til the fiscal year 1917. During the June j
quarter the marshal’s office disbursed ¥63, '
174.98, and last year for the same quarter
it spent- ¥48.715.50. For the whole fi cal
rear 1917 the marshal disbursed ¥223,888.75,
The disbursements by quarters were as fol
lows : September quarter. ¥63,660.01 ; De
cember quarter, 849,159.99; April quarter,
846,392.77; June quarter, 863.174.98. Total,
S223.8S8.76.
Canneries Are Not Overlooked
Lieutenant Davis and Lieutenant Clark, j
who were in Juneau recently, expected to j
leave oil the forestry service boat on a cruise
to Petersburg by way of Taku, Funter,
Hawk and Chatham canneries, where they
will endeavor to enlist men for the naval
reserve. The lieutenants also expected to
secure permission to accompany the rev
enue cutter Unalga on its westward cruise
for the purpose of obtaining recruits.
—*—
Erwin’s Appointment Confirmed
Marshal L. T. Erwin of the Fourth divi
sion was informed by wire from Attorney j
General Gregory on July 29 that the senate j
had confirmed his renomination, and he will
take the oath of office when Judge Bunnell
returns to Fairbanks. The marshal told
the News-Miner that “there has never been
any fight on me. No attention was paid
to those who fought me from afar. When
I went to Washington early in the spring
I was told to return to my post—that I
would be reappointed. I did as I was told,
and in due time my name, was sent to the
President by the attorney general and in
turn to the senate by President Wilson.’’
Will Sell Liquor Till End of Year
The election at Douglas on July 18 to (
determine the question of permitting the }
saloons to operate during the remainder of |
the present year until the “bone dry” law .
becomes effective, January 1, was very I
much one-sided. Of 235 votes cast. 214
were for the reissuing of licenses for the
remainder of the year. Very little interest
was taken in the issue, which fact, in con
nection with the further one that rain fell
continuously all day. accounts for the ex
tremely light vote polled. Not to exceed 15
per cent of the female population was out,
less than half a dozen of the ladies from
Treadwell braving the weather to come to
the polling place.
Platinum Nugget
It is not often that one has an oppor
tunity of seeing a platinum nugget in this
section, says the Nome Industrial Worker,
and for that reason great interest attaches
to the nugget owned by Lovell, of ten or
twelve grains, which was cleaned up with
the gold on Dime creek. The nugget is
worth in the vicinity of a dollar. There are
many fine grains of platinum mixed with
the dust on Dime creek, but none so far
larger than this one has been found. The
extreme value of platinum makes even the
relatively small quantity of platinum dust
found in Dime a somewhat valuable by
product of the yellow metal industry in
those parts. Its characteristic color, sheen
end weight are unmistakable for any other
metal. In appearance it resembles a piece
of white iron pyrites more than anything
else.
Caskey's “Tin Lizzie”
J. Harmon Caskey, publisher of the Fair
banks Citizen, returned North on the Wat
son on July 17, according to the Juneau
Empire, bound Inside, after making a trip
to Seattle. Accompanying Mr. Caskey was
Carlton Pritchett, a well-known newspaper
man of the Pacific Northwest, who is to
be the new editor and business menager of
the Citizen. Mr. Pritchett for the past sev
eral years has been connected with the Ana
cortes American, and previous to that time
was on the reportorial staff of the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer. Mr. Caskey brought
North a new “tin Lizzie,” and will make
the trip from Valdez to Fairbanks over the
trail in his buzz cart.
Twenty-four Miles of Road in Operation
In his report of June 29 Captain Mears
of the Alaska engineering commission states
that the Matanuska branch line of the gov
ernment railway is under operation from
Matanuska to King -twenty four miles
and two coal purs turn off from this branch
one to the Doherty-O'Reilly mine, at
Moose creek, and the other to the Eska
creek mine.
-
Producing Seventy Tons of Coa! Daily
Sumner J. Smith of the bureau of mines
has taken charge of the E.-ka creek mine,
recently purchased by the Alaska engineer
ing commission, and is producing about
seventy five tons of coal per day for use
on the government railroad. He hopes to
increase the output at an early date, says
the Seward Gateway.
