Oliver Baker, who met his death near
 Yost's roadhouse. on the Chitina- Fairabnks trail, March 31, really was "bown' to death. The Delta river at that point from the summit down the few miles intervening is nothing but a great glacier, with sometimes snow on 60-mile wind took it off, leaving glare ice in many places. Baker. it Is believed by those who were with him and who found the body, slipped and fell. perhaps while catching his hat. and the wind simply blew him around until he was dead. Once down, it would be almost impossible for him to rise. These heavy winds will take a double ender and turn it around and around, which causes the stage company to provide their double enders with knife clamps for use in heavy winds on the and blue all over He was literally pounded by the ice if he wasn't frozen death would have resulted anyway The upper Delta country is a danger ous country at any time and especially so in winter or spring blizzard. Nc word has vet been received as to the disposition of his body.-Cordoya Times.

It was announced through the pa pers that Secretary of Labor Wilson l is in favor of using the $10,000,0OO of Ithe head-tax money collected from in- coming immigrants for the purpose of transporting immigrants to govern ment lands in community groups under an arrangement by which. they are to refund the government the amounts expended on their behalf. The head
 tax was primarily designed to meet the
 expenses of the immigration service,
 and this balance has remained unex-
 pended 8sa
 It has long been urged, by those in- lterested in the welfare of both the country and the alien, that some part 1 of this fund be set aside for the dis ltribution. protection and education of resident immigrants; but this is the first offiical sanction from high au- thorty In this connection, it is also well to remind the government that
 one of the most pressing questions be-
 fore it is the granting of national aid
 to local communities unable to meet the demands of alien dependents. We recommend a commission of unpaid npoltical experts to recommend to Congress plan for a domestic use of part of the head tax, and if necessary. an increase of the tax which shall be set aside for this purpose. It is highly essential that such an important mat
 ter should not be embarked upon in
 haphazzard. piecemeal way.-Ex

The warning nations may or may not be ready to accept peace at the present time, but, in the revival of the peace talk there Is not little slgnifi- portance in it's suggestive power to turn the thoughts of the world to the peace that must come some day, sooner or later It has that welcome merit that 1t switches the talk from war to peace for day or two at least. At the present time the world has almost come to accept the war as in the na- ture of a permanent institution, and the end as something most remote and far away. It would appear too that the early issues of the struggle have been all but lost sight of and over whelmed in the larger issues created by the extent and methods of the fight ing and the complications of the in evitible economic consequences. The mighty yastness of the war has done much to impress upon the mind of hu- manity the utter folloy of war as an accepted or necessary institution and ii has had the effect of changing to a great extent the worlds conscience So when we approach the idea of peace in the present day it is at quite a differ ent angle of thought than would have animated us if the possibility of peace had developed earlier. The issue is not now as in the earlier periods. simply between Germany on the one side and Britain on the other, although
 in the program of considerations the strife for supremacy between those two nations remains uppermost and will inevltibly tinge all talk of peace ar rangement The larger issue has now become. not the necessity of some side to be whipped or crushed. but rather the necessity for establishing peace on

 hool, of wars, on such a scale of de-
 structiveness, in the future The tre- mendous economic waste and the utter folly of 1t all have now become a mat ter of prime consideration in deter

 NOTES


 It is many day since mining looked more promising than it does in the Ketchikan mining district at this time. Copper according to the last quota tions received, is worth from $1750 to $1762 per hundred pounds. This means that many of the properties in this region are either now at work. or preparing to resume operations. For in stance, the Granby people are working full crew at the Mamie above Hadley, and in addition are doing a great deal of work at the It and Alarm properties on Kassan bay. and to handle same have ordered a gasoline locomotive The dock there has been rebuilt, and recent development work has brought more ore to light. Rush X Brown are working all the men they can handle, and expect to have shipment ready to send down to the smelter within the next couple of weeks that gives promise of better values than any thing shipped thus far. Word comes from Sulzer that the Jumbo will soon | be shipping again; and the Copper mount property also expects to do

Buick Prosperity Train
One Of Many Sent Out

The Buick special train of all-steel
cars loaded w.tn Buick motor cars for
the Philadelphia territory was the first
to embrace so large and complete a
shipment of motor cars on any eastern
railroad. Trainload shipments have
been somewhat of rarity in the auto
mobile world since the inception of the
European war. Previous to August !
this method of delivery was practically
the only one utilized by the Buick Mo-
tor Company. Nineteen trainloads,
however. were shipped by the Buick
company from December IL to al
aggregating 2.696 Buick automobiles,
These are generally to the western
dealers. therefore a train of siXty-seven
cars coming east for the territory so
near the coast created unusual inter-
est. There were 100 autos in the train
representing total value of $214,490
and weigh 71S,400 pounds. From Flint
to Harrisburg the freight charges on
the train will amount to approximately
S5,356.5O. At this city a number of
cars were taken off to be transferred
to other divisions and three carloads
were delivered to Hottenstein & Zeck.

Lebanon district. Buick manufactur-
ers, as well as other businessmen be-

FOUR COMPANIES
To ROLL TEST RAILS
Pennsylvania Railroad Places a
Rush Order to Find Strongest
Material Possible

Rails that will stand the wear and
tear of heavy engines and new steel
cars is the one big need of the Penn
sylvania railroad.
Continuing it's efforts to find a more
satisfactory steel rail than the one now
in general use, the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company yesterday placed eX-
perimental orders for 1000 tons each
with five rail mills. The experimental
order calls for the furnishing of 10,
600 tons in all. and is divided equally
between the United States Steel Cor
poration, Cambria Steel Company,
Pennsylvania Steel Company, Lacka-
wanna Steel Company and Bethlehem
Steel Company
Each company has been ordered to
roll 1000 rails on the same specifica-
tions as experimental rails were run
last year. An additional / 900 tons is
ordered from each company with re-
vised specifications. The final orders
for requirements by the company in
1915 will depend upon the results OBJ
tanned from these experimental lots.
The Pennsylvania Railroad on jan
uary asked for bids from the above
steel mills for 100000, or perhaps
100000 tons of steel rails for its 1915
requirements.
The Indianapolis Union Railway, a
subsidiary of the Pennsylvania sys-
tenn, has asked for bids on 10000 tons
of structural steel for use in track ele-
walton imposed upon it by the city of
Indianapolis
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
it is reported, will be in the market
for $4,000 tons of steel rails in u few
days

his efforts to aid in organizing the

Undue importance has been given

Referring TO the future of the Pro-
gressive party, he said:
"It may be that in 1916 neither of
the old parties will adopt a program
or put forward candidates who can
be approved. by the Progressive Ma
tional convention, but IL either of the
older parties do SO it is probable that
it will secure the support of the ma

day. Tor six months or a year, how
ever, we will do business at this stand.
Through the courtesy of the Anti

Howard E. Coffin First
Built a Steam Car

Included in the interesting exhibit
of historical early model motor cars
put on display at the Detroit auto
mobile show, January 1928, was the
first automobile ever built by Howard
E. Coffin, now president and chief
designer of the Hudson Motor Car
Company, Detroit.
This was a wo-cylnder steam car
with bore of about 8 Il inches and
stroke of about 3 1a inches. The car
was built by Mr. Coffin with his own
hands in the engineering shops of the
University of Michigan during the lat
ter part of 1898 and early part of 1899.
The body was constructed in one of
the carriage Shops in Ann Arbor, Mich
The car was operated on the road
Tor many thousands of miles during
l9OO and 1901. 1t was then sold, and,
after passing through several hands,
IT was finally purchased by the Hudson
Motor Car Company between three
and four years ago and is now pre-
served in Mr.. Collins garage at Crosse
Polnte Farms, near Detroit. The car
had a boiler and engine of consid-
erably larger capacity than did other
cars built about the same time and
was capable of developing much
higher speed on the road.
Previous to the construction of this
steam car Mr.. Coffin built a gas engine
In the university engineering shops,
but the gas engine of those days was
so crude and the steam engine seemed
to be so much more dependable that
most of the engineers prior to 1900
thought that the horseless vehicle of
the future would be equipped with a
steam engine.
The building of this steam car six
teen years ago led to Mr.. Coffin's asso-
citation with the Oldsmobile COMPANY
in 1902. Mr.. Coffin had previously
attended the University of Michigan,
studying mechanical engineering. but
entered the employ of the Olds Motor
Works before finishing. In 1911, how
ever. the degree of mechanical engi-
neer was conferred upon him by. the
university in recognition of what he
had accomplished in an engineering
way.
Since being connected with the Olds
in 1902 he has designed the following
immensely successful cars: The four
cylinder Oldsmobile. the Thomas-De-
troit 40" the Chalmers-Detroit 40"
the Chalmers-Detroit 49," the Hud-
son 49," the Hudson "S7," the 1913
Hudson SiX-54. the 1914 Hudson Six-54
and Six-40 and the 1916 Hudson Six-54
and SiX-40.

LAND TAX IS NOW
BROUGHT FORWARD
Suggested as a Means of Raising
the Revenue to Reconstruct
the Roads of State

Hard times and other causes have
in the income of the Commonwealth
as compared with the amount appro-
priated by the last Legislature, and
it is difficult to find many places TO
cut present expenditures without in
juring the efficiency of the service.
The result is that new subjects for
taxation are being discussed.
There is talk of a return to a State
tax on real estate as a means of rails
ing money to build the roads. The
State has taken over more than 10000
miles of road, and the people defeated
the $50,000,000 bond issue which was
designed to furnish the money for
the improvement of these highways.
Legislators generally agree that their
constituents will object to any legis-
lative enactment which will return
these roads to the counties for main
tenance.
At present practically all of the
revenues of the Commonwealth come
from corporations. 1t is argued by
some that it would be unfair to in
crease their burdens, and there is con-
siderable talk about placing tax on
real estate for the use of the State.
The money derived from this source
would be appropriated for the build
ing and maintenance of roads. In
this way the constitutionality of the
law would not be questioned.
Those who have given the matter
any thought think that a State tax
of one-eighth or one quarter of a mill
on the assessed valuation of the real
estate of the State for taxable pur-
poses would raise enough money to
solve the road problem. The valu-
alton in 1918 was $5,S67, 7,775,686. A
tax of quarter of mill would raise
about $1,467, 900. This would mean
that a property value at $1,000 would
pay $3.50 a year. One eighth of a
mill would give over 100000 a year
or about all the money that could be
expended in a year.
1t is likely that there will be con-
siderable objection to a State tax on
real estate, but since the voters of
the Commonwealth have declined to
permit the issuing of bonds. it is prac-
tically necessary to find some subject
for State taxation. When the budget
makers of this Legislature sit down
to their task they will find the new
taxes must he laid or heavy cuts made
all along the line.
