During the course of his remarks
to the commissioners, who sat as q
Judicial body in the case, Public Safe
ty Commissioner w. A. Hicken
created sensation when he alleged
that Chief of Police Troyer is In pos
; session of contracts" agreeing to the
prices in, order to create fund to
pay for police court fines in the event
of convictions. This was cited as an
instance to prove the nature Of the
problem confronting him in his law

ment, however.

with them or other information in
support Of the charge, Commissioner
Hicken declined to give.
When the motion introducing the

missioners. responded, the chamber
was quiet.

I was a general murmur of realization

Sufficient testimony was given dur.
! Ing the two days of arguing to con-

i attempt was made on the part of 1r-
wins attorney to place entire blame
on the hotel employees and excuse
Irwin for any such violations.
In reply Mr.. Hicken stated that he

People Who Save Small Sums
Place Trust In Uncle Sans -
Department..

That the working people and others
who are able save small sums each
month appreciate the service rendered
by the postal savings department is
evidenced by a comparative statement
recently issued by the local depart
ment.. 49, =: ="
| July 1913 there was $161,ss7 on de-
post. August 1913, the amount totaied
$171,67s. One year later July 1914
the amount on deposit showed $780,!
416 and this had increased to $196,355
by August 1914.
November 1912 the second largest
month for the local department there
was placed on deposit $21,s60. This
year August became the banner month
there having been deposited $22,12s.
/ All of the money received at the
Postal Savings division, is transferred
by the postoffice department to the
various private banks. Each bank
receiving a proportionate share. :: :
The experience Off this institution
has proved conclusiyely that many
small sums heretofore kept in hiding
have been brought out. !: The reason
evidently being that the average man
had lost faith: in the private banks but
responded without hesitancy to place
his TRUST in the government. The re-
suit is that the private, banks have
actually done more business, although
indirectly, with the small depositers.
At the beginning Of the plan OPP
position was manifested from many
banking institutions. This opposition
has been largely withdrawn although
some such disposition is: shown In
some minor instances. r., - ,.:<'. a,'';',

RAILROADS PREPARING TO
 COMPETE WITH CANAL

San Francisco, Dec. 4.-The great rail road companies of the United States will not sit idly by and see their enormous freight business go into the hands of the steamship companies, who are planning low transportation rates with the opening of the Panama canal Million dollar" brains behind the railroads are at work planning overland tariffs that will meet any com petition the steamboat men may be able to put into effect.
 This was made apparent recently when it WAS announced by officials of the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe systems that al ready plans are being made to put into ef feet export rates on freight from all points in the United States to the Orient and Aus ,rslis, and if necessary to other widely dis tributed spots on the globe.
 It was announced officially by ". G. Barnwell, assistan, traffic manager of the Santa Fe that the Great Northern, the Northern Pacific the Santa Fe, the Southern Pacific and the Western Pacific are now en- gagged in framing export rates to the Orient and Australia that will be in competition with the lowest rates the steamship com panies Eill be able to advance.

The tests, started last winter, are de clared to have developed the fact that the fleet could not determine the location of the Gatun locks. It also is intinsted that the data made public and supposed to give the topography of the canal purposely was in accurate In addition, 1t was discovered that the hills intervening rendered the locks almost immune from damage by lombard ment from sea.
 Extension of the breakwater on the At lantc side has made it possible to mount long range guns 80 far out that the ap- proach of an enemy's fleet could readily be checked Elaborate plans for mining the approaches of the canal on both the At lantic and Pacific sides already have been completed

The ladies' dog team race, which occurred on Wednesday, January l4, took place under most suspicious conditions, and WAS success in every way, The suggestion of such 8 race for women drivers seemed to strike the popular fancy, and probably there has never been race in this district in which more interest was taken and in which the several contestants had more en- thusiastic packers and psrtisans. From start to finish of the race the bulletin boards were surrounded by eager and excited crowds, and at the several stations the en- tire populace seemed to have turned out to witness the contest. This was particularly true in Flat, the home of most of the par ticipants, and the arrival of the several teams WAS greeted with cheers and shouts of
Iditarod pioneer., 1914-01-17

approval The crowds were impartial in their bestowd of applause, and the trailers were greeted with as much encouragement, almost, as the leaders.
 The weather conditions were perfect. A slight furry of snow the night previous had threatened to mar the splendid trail, but the morning of the great race broke clear and calm, and just cold enough to spur the teams and their fair drivers to their utmost endeavcrs. The time made is considered markable and is considerably below that of several races over the same course with men drivers and only 20 min utes and 14 seconds higher than the record.
 Features of the Race
 Mrs Bayles who started first, met with slight accident shortly after leaving Flat, and was handicapped to a considerable de gree Mrs Swanson, starting third as- stunned the lead on the return to Flat from Discovery, and maintained it throughout the race Mrs McGibney made an excellent start, arriving at Discovery in the remark able time of II minutes and 20 seconds and

 JOYOUS DANCE

The anniversary ball given by Camp Flat Mo- 26, Arctic Brotherhood, on Wednesday evening, January l4, was largely attended and most enjoyable affair. The hall was filled to capacity with dancers during the entire evening, and it was voted by all who attended to be one of the most successful events of social nature ever given in the district The hall was 8 mass of color and light, and unique feature of the decora- tions was the display sof two crayon pic lures of women dog mushers and their teams, the work of William Herford. Com ing in connection with the ladies dog race of the same day, this feature of the cele- was thoroughly appreciated.
 Dancing was continued until a late hour, an intermission being taken for the enjoy ment of delicious repast served at l o'clock During the intermission Harry Leland, accompanied by Mrs. Percy Charles on the piano, rendered 8 vocal solo, which was roundly spplauded
 Shortly before the close of the evenings festivities the presentation of prizes to the winners in the ladies' dog team race took place AS each successful competitor was called forward to receive her prize, c. R. Peck, in presenting each purse, made a few witty and humorous remarks, usually making some particular point in each case, all of which were greeted with laughter and applause. The gallant men of Flat were not satisfied with providing four money prizes for the race but 8 subscription was taken up and the losers, Mrs. Dickson and Mrs Bayles, were presented with purse of $25 also.
 The committee in charge of the dance, Messrs. Murdeck, Goslow and Weiss, are de serving of much credit for their work, and that it was appreciated by those present was evident.
