FAIRBANKS Jan. 17—Alter pub
ishing a tri-weekly f<K the month of
Jectmber the News Miner of Par
>anks has decided to go back ‘0 the
>ld daily and ‘‘stay with it ‘till the
jnd.” Whether the worthy editor de
cided he handn’t enough space in the
Columns of his paper to roast Nenana
jr whether he couln’t stand to see1
he towns of the coast all publishing
a good daily and the Interior Metrop
oplis in the weekly class we dare
.ot say but here is his reason for the
change:
“We are compelled to tell you to
light that we will not be able to pub
ish a tri-weekly newspaper in oui
*own no more no time. Those who
of the daily Subscribers quit the paper
because it ceased to become a daily
will testify that it has been a good tri
weekly a better issue than any single
.ssue the daily ever was or could be.
/he only thing that we gained in drop
ping from a daily to a tri-weekly was
u much needed rest. And that rest
and the time for reflection which was
ours and the one-thing and another
which resulted in the conviction that
we cannot continue to issue 'a tri
weekly in 44Our Town.’4
“Along with a large part and par
cel of the community we grew to be
lieve that it was up to us to retrench.
As a matter of fact it was the other
fellow thaV inflicted that belief upon;
j us and it “took.” You can’t travel
1 from store to store in Our Town and
have pessimism handed to you in every
place you go without some of it stick
ing to you. We printed a good tri
weekly during the month of December.
We have done more business and had
more profit than we ever did with the
daily. * * • * And that’s why we say
we cannot longer print a tri-weekly
in Fairbanks. Neither our civic pride
nor our conscience will allow us to.
From now on until the end the News
Miner will be a daily paper and the
best we can make it.”

At the home of Mrs. Florence Mc
Quilken recently Mrs. Nina M. Ker
ler and Mr. Jack O'Gara were united
in marriage. The ceremony was per
pormed by commissioner, Hellig and
only a few of the many friends of the
bride and groom were present.
Hot words are flying between the
citizens of Fairbanks and the citizens
if Nenana. The News-Miner claims
' •
Jiat Nenana took their mail route,
stage route, a lot of the population,
the buildings and worst of all—their
young women, and now that the com
mission is moving away frem Nenana
Jiey complain that the citizens of Ne
,iana expect to come back and live
off the Fairbanks people.

A wire received in Fairbanks from

Nenana on a recent train having
come all the way from Iditarod in
charge of a party bringing up two na
tives who are bound over to the .Grand
Jury for the murder of another native
.c Shageluk slough.
Chris Pehlke, an old-timer of Dew
son, Cleary and Fairbanks and who is
now mining in the Tolovana district
arrived inx Fairbanks recently. This is
Mr. Pahlke*8 first trip out of the Tolo
vana district in nearly five years and
he is kept busy meeting former Fair
banks friends. He walked out over the
Brooks— Okies trail and was travel
ing during the cold spell of the past
few days. He will return to Brooks
shortly. , . *v
Ale* Teotfroff, known throughout
the Interior as “Black Alex” passed

PARIS, Jan. 19— Burbank has been
out-Burbanked by French exhibitors

Among the exhibits are: „

more than a normal newly-born in

4. A grape fruit so large that it took
two men to lift it.
In the floral portion of the exhi
bition the most remarkable offering
is a cross between a chrysanthemum

TEXAS STANDS OUT AS^ GREAT
TRAINING SPOT
Florida is no longer in high favor
j among the major league club owners
as an ideal State in which to condition
baseball players. The broad State 01
Texas has succeeded it. Next spring
the-Lone Star State will be the stamp
l ing ground of eight of the sixteen ma
jor "league teaims. The Giants, Reds,
Cards and Braves of the National Lea
gue will train in it, and the American
League will be represented by. the In
dians, White Sox, Tigers and Browns.
Louisiana will get the Brooklyns, Yan
kees and Athletics, while Florida wil
have only the Phillies and Senators.
Arkansas will entertain the Pirate*
and Red Sox, and in far off Californii
| .he Cubs will train. Last spring tht
Brooklyns, Yankees and Reds were
among the many teams that trained in
Florida. \

NATIVE ALASKAN FROM KODIAK
WRITE8 TO SEWARD FRIENDS I
FROM NEW ORELEANS, LA.
t ^
The Seward Gateway today received j
a letter from New Oreleans, Louis
ana. The letter was written by a native

star pin boy on the bowling alleys con
ducted by Ed. Whittemre. This lad .
was drafted during the war and saw
service in France. Since leaving Sew

thought existed and after a varied ex
perience covering a period of several
years still remembers his friends in
Seward. The following is a copy of his
letter reproduced just as he wrote it.
ihe composition and spelling in places
are somewhat crude but considering
Jic chances that young Korth had and
the evident desire he felt for hearing
from the friends'in the land where he
was born, the letter is a credit
Merry Christmas and Happy New
Year to all.
