Specific Aid to Any Railroad
interests in Alaska.

Washington. May S1.-Taft an.
nonnced today that during his admin
istration he will not lend his approval
to legislation designed to give the

the bill which provided specific aid

Not the least interesting feature IN

the minds Of many people whether It

and demand for it
There has not been q Sunday since
that the Sunday afternoon paper has
not justified itself AS the weeks have

paper has passed out Of the realm
Of experiment and established itself
