The title to the ground for the fed eral building has passed to the gov ernment, and the treasury department assured Mir. Hazelet that the plans would be drawn within the year and construction would start by this time next spring. Secretary Daniels signed the order for the Radio sta tion, and at least part of the work will be done this year This station will be capable of reaching San Diego. Honolulu or the Philippine Islands at any time. according to Capt. Bullard, chief of the U. s. Radio service.
 No headway was made in reduction of cable tolls, but 1t is confidently predicted by radio officers that within year or two at least, the cable will be worthless, and that then the work will be done by wireless. and that the charge will not exceed ' cents per word to Seattle.
 A coal land lease has finally been perfected that is pronounced by bus mess men that are familiar with coal mining to be workable. Secretary Lane turned this matter over to Mir Tollman, Commissioner of lands, Dr. Smith, head of the Geological Survey, and Dr, Manning, Assistant Chief of the Bureau of Mines, to draft the lease, They invited all Alaskans in Washington at the time to assist in framing 1t, and after numerous meet ings, and with the aid and sugges- tion of the New Chamber of Com merce of Seattle, lease, and rules and regulations were finally perfect ed that 1t is believed are workable.
 The Department also decided to a. dopt all surveys in the Boring river field that had once been approved by the land commission, thus putting that field in shape to lease at an early date. The government selection of 5000 acres had not been made when MT. Hazelet left Washington, but it was thought it would be done soon. MT. Hazelet gives much praise to Fal- con Joslin, D. A. Mckenzie, Clyde Morris and others, for the good work done in advertising Alaska this win ter. and expressed his appreciation of the assistance Delegate Wickersham rendered him in local matters. Talk en all in all. he thinks the winters work has brought about a better un- derstanding of Alaska and conditions in the minds of the administration and congress, and that it will result in a great deal of good, especially to the sections tributary to the Copper river. as heretofore there has been so much transformation, not only as to natural conditions, but as to resour- ces and what is necessary to deveI- op them.

REVIEWS WORK DONE AT WASHINGTON

At last nights meeting of the cham Der of commerce President Geo. c. Hazelet made very complete and satisfactory verbal report of the work undertaken by him, during his four months stay at the national capital In behalf of Cordova and the Copper River valley. His remarks were lis- tened to very attentively by the mem- bers of the chamber, and much valu- able information was furnished as to the government railroad and other matters in which our people are in terested.
 MT. Hazelet stated that he went to Washington at the request of the c. R. x N. w. By people to make a showing of the resources of the Cop per River valley and territory adja- cent thereto; that this was thought necessary because of the fact that the Alaska Engineering Commission had practically neglected to make any in- yestigation of the resources of this section or it's adaptability as a trunk line route, either through lack of in structions from the Administration so to do. or an intentional desire to pass this section by.
 It was felt that it was necessary to impress upon the commission, the sec retary and the president, the facts gathered by the chamber during the summer. All data prepared was pre- sented to each, and hearings had. At the request of D. A. Mckenzie, MT. Joslin, of Fairbanks, prepared an ex- cellent brief of the whole situation, reviewing all routes and discussing all phases of government railway building in Alaska, from the standpoint of the practical railroad man. This brief was considered by all who saw it as unanswerable Copies of it were put in the hands of the president, the sec retary and the commission, and many of them given out to senators and representatives.
 After MT Hazelet had had one con ference with Secretary Lane, the com mission requested a showing of ingo- ing and outgoing tonnage oyer the Copper River line, based upon the ex- tension of line to the Boring River coal from Mile 3S, and branches up the Kotsina, Kuskalina and Mccarthy Creek on the Chitina branch. When this showing was completed, the es- timated annual ore tonnage was l. 600,000 tons. The annual coal ton mage 5O0,0OO tons, and the general ton mage, including lumber 35O,O00 tons The commission seemed at first to think this tonnage too large, but af- ter consultation with the government geologists familiar with the country,
The Cordova daily times., 1915-04-27

concluded that 1t might be a reason able estimate.
 An earnest effort was made through out the winter to impart informa- tion regarding the whole of Alaska, with particular stress laid upon this section. No effort was made at any time to persuade the government to take over any one line and neglect other sections, but the thought was constantly kept to the front that each section should be developed, urging at the same time, the superiority of our route over any other for trunk line because of shorter distance, the lower grade, the cheaper construc- lion, the better harbor. and the quick ness with which the interior might be tapped All of this seemed to make a profound impression upon the ad- ministratlon, and up to the time of his leaving New York. March 24, 1t seemed to be the settled policy of the government to adopt the c. R. & N. w.. at least, that was the belief of most people claiming to be in touch with the situation. Mir. Hazelet stat ed that he was much surprised on reaching San Francisco to read in the Call, that the president had adopt ed the Susitna route and determined to spend some $27OOO,OO upon 1t. He is curious to learn what happened.
 Clyde Morris, a railroad contractor and builder, in conjunction with Fal- con Joslin, made a proposition to the government and submitted plans and specifications of the entire line from Chitina to Fairbanks, and from Mile 3S to the Boring River coal fields, pro posing to build and equip under the supervision of the Railway commits sion, at sum not to exceed a cer- tain sum per unit mile, and to do the work within three years. After con. struction they proposed to lease of the government and operate for per iod of twenty-five years, and pay 8 per cent interest on the total invest ment, giving bonds for the faithful performance of the contract This was also turned down, why no one seems to know, for it surely made an attractive proposition and safe in- vestment for the government, and at the same time opened up the terri tory.
 Other matters of interest to the town taken up and urged along by Mir. Hazelet on behalf of the chamber were the federal building, the radio station, reduction of the cable tolls, the coal land lease, and the adoption by the government of the original sur veys in the Boring River field in or der that this field might be thrown open to lease at an early date.

Paige Man Tells of Remarkable
 Growth of the Detroit Made Automobile.

"The Paige company was organlz- ed four years ago. The first year we built and sold 300 automobiles. Our business for last year ran over $1 900, 900 per month on an average. That is a record that any orSaniza- tiun may well be proud of but when it is considered that this tremen- dous growth was accomplished in the face of keen competition from manufacturers who were already well established, it assumes even greater significance" says F. l.. Jewctt of the Paige company. -Four years ago our factory com prised part of a floor which gave us about 2400 square feet. Today We are in magnificent, new plant of 390,00O feet floor space and equipped with every modern facility
 for economical production of fine motor cars.
 ! -Four years ago we employed a handful of men. Now the average
 working force is about 1000 skilled,
 trained and loyal men whose yearly
 wage earning capacity is approxi-
 mately half a million dollars. l -Four years ago there did not exist
 a Paige selling organization. Today ! there are over 700 wide awake deal | CTS in the Union and many foreign i countries.

for to anyone but close observer the rocks seem as unbroken in most places along the fault lines as they do in any other part of the region.
 The different faults in the region about San Francisco are carefully map ped out in this report. Most of these breaks are fortunately old, and it is to be hoped ttat movement along them has ceased, tut two are alive. and along one of these occurred the movements that resulted in the earthquake of April, 1906. These active faults are de- scribed in the report, and the fact is pointed out that, although slight shocks may occur frequently. only once in several generations are serious earth quakes to be expected. A very inter- esting feature of the report is the dis cussion of the effect of earthquakes upon the construction of buildings, roads, tunnels, pipe lines, and the like. It shows that buildings constructed on made land are much more seriously af- fected than those whose foundations rest upon rock
 The geologic report, which is known as the San Francisco folio, is one unit of a geologic map that the United States Geological Survey is preparing. This folio contains topographic, geo. logic and structural maps of five rec tangular areas known as quadrangles, which embrace the San Francisco and Marin pennsuias, San Francisco bay, and the east shore almost as far as Mount Diablo.
