They tell you that a tramp will not work. It.would be more to the point to say that he cannot work.
 The average tramp realizes the truth of Jack L ,ndon' s chara cter ization: Il am d tramp because m the very nature of hihgs some body has to be tre mp" He knows that if he gets work under this sys'em, others < ii be de- prived of work.

Galveston, Tex, May 9.-The con
version Of chartered steamships into
army transports and supply carriers
moved rapidly forward at the army
pier here today and the quartermas
ters DEPARTMENT is under orders TO be
prepared TO move troops in large num-
brs and vast quantities of supplies to
Vera Cruz The information here is
that 30, 900 troops may be sent to Mex
leo at any time.
Army officers expect to make a time
record In converting the freight ship
Colorado into a floating stable to car
~ horses TO Mexico. The Colorado
was unloaded last night and within
thirty minutes was swung alongside
the army pier.
The last line to the pier had hard
" been made fast when an army OF
ficer with a blue print of the Colorado
stepped aboard. Five minutes later a
force Of carpenters swarmed over the
freighter and started to build stalls
for the horses.
All night the work went on. To-
day found the ship still in the hands
nf the carpenters with the work fast
nearing completion.
The newly chartered steamship Den
Yer was unloading freight today, but

the railroads have been the means Of
peOplIng and developing Canada and
Siberia says Mr.. Dietrich.
"Alaska's wheat and other farm
products Will within a wear after the
railroad is in operation bring in more
low the construction Of the railroad
than the cost of the railroad The
crops will increase, mining and other
business proceed with rapid strides
and there is no doubt that the rev
enues viii meet operating, upkeep
costs and fixed charges and furnish
profits which can be devoted to branch
line construction. Many parts Of this
vast domain will soon require rail
connection with the main line"
The original purchase price Of
Alaska more than half a century ago
was $7,2o0,00o- The government has
spent, all told, on account of Alaska
$35.S16,674. The production in Alaska
from 1857 to 1911. was S429,523, $50.
Revenues of one kind or another paid
into the federal treasury from Alaska
during this period aggregated ST.,
1884. Since 1911 the value Of Alas
kan products has increased sufficiently
to make the total more than a half
billion dollars. With a railroad con-
struCted from one Of the open harbors
on the southern coast TO the interior
Of Alaska the annual production OF
Aaskal should increase by leaps and
bounds
Alaska IS said to have more coal
than Pennsylvania, West Virginia and
Ohio. more copper than Michigan and
Arizona. more gold than California and
Colorado. more tin than Wales and
more fish than all other American
waters combined. The area Of tillablo
land in Alaska has been variously es-
tinated at from 100000 70 9,7000 600
acres.
