Guides Say-Clash
Is Expected.

Cable to The Washington Times, by

dova today for Il trip over the Copper
River and Northwestern railroad. Fof.
lowing the trip to Controller bay, Ka-
ITALIA, and along the sea coast, this will
complete the examination Of the trans
portation situation.
At Controller bay and about Katalla
some of the residents and guides al
legged that Secretary Fisher was not
shown the entire situation, aud that
very important features were misrep-
resented to him. Mr.. Pinchot and his
party made careful examination, and 1;
Is believed that when Mr.. Pinchot and
Secretary Fisher appear before the Ora
ham COMMITTEES there will develop sharp
differences of both opirion and Informal
ton, in which Mr.. Pinchot's party be-
lieve they will be prepared to demon
strate the superiority of their data and
conclusions.
Mr.. Pfnchot desires especially to
