MORE SOLDIERS BE SENT TO
 ALASKA

Instead of reducing the force of sol diers at the different forts in Alaska the war department is likely 10 in crease them to a war footing, accord ing to information received from var ious underground" sources, but which is as yet not official
 Not so long ago the department ser iously considered withdrawing the military from Alaska. fact, more than once civilians have wondered what practical benefit was served by maintaining military posts in Alaska the most law abiding community un- der the Stars and Stripes.
 With the building of the govern ment railroad, however, and with the talk of war preparedness, the ten dency seems now to be the other way The Valdez Prospector, in discussing the matter says:
 The rumor which was circulated in the Alaskan papers last fall to the effect that the war department was planning to bring the companies sta toned in Alaska to a war footing, has again revived, and 1t is reported that possibly one hundred and fifty addi- tional men will be brought to Fort Liscum at an early date next spring.
 The present force stationed at Fort Liscum is composed of detaehments from Companies A and C of the Four teenth Infantry, consisting of about fifty-fiye men and officers.
 The war strength of a United States army regiment for foreign service, which includes twelve companies. is eighteen hundred and thirty-siY en- listed men and officers. On 2 peace footing eight hundred and siXty-seyeu men compose a regiment. each com. pany being reduced to siXty-fivo men
 It is believed that the plan to bring the companies stationed in Alaska up to a var footing is embraced in the administration national preparel- ness program. as the troops. especial ly those stationed at Fort Liscum and Fort Seward. would be immediately available fer service should they be required at my point on the Pacific coast.

FORTY MILLIONS IN PROFITS
 PER YEAR

Experts familiar with the produc- ton and cost sheets of the Kennecott Copper. Utah Copper and Braden Cop per. as now related to Kennecott and it's 3,00O,OOO shares, have been figur- ing on the present earnings of Ken necott on the basis of a 32 cent cop per market.
 They reached the astonishing re- suit of an earning capacity at the pre- sent time of $40,OOO,0 900 per annum. This is from Braden's present output and not from it's future expansion.
 When Kennecott made it's great strike of Bonanza copper in it's Jumbo claim, it became the copper wonder in the mining world, but it's late eX- pansion in the ownership of the Cop per River X Northwestern Railway, the Braden copper mines and one quarter of Utah, places Kennecott to- day as the second largest individual factor in the copper world, consider ing copper production and earnings in a single corporation.
 If Kennecott begins dividends at the rate of $4 per annum shortly, as eX- pected, it will set it's dividend base at less than one-third it's present pos sible earnings from a 23 1-2 cent cop per market.

OVERLAND USED At
GATEWAY TO RUSSIA

Shortly after the outbreak of the Eu-
ropean war It became necessary to ind
q new road from England to Russia.
Passengers were sent across from New
castle to Bergen, in Norway; thence over
land through Norway and Sweden to
Karungi, at that time the last station
on the Swedish railway. From there to
Tornea, the frst town in Finland. and
the western terminal OF the Russian
railway, In q distance Of thirty kilo-
This distance had to, be, covered by
carriage, sleigh or automobile. With no
roads worthy Of the name, and a tenn
perature from 2b to 40 degrees below
zero, the difficulties that automobiles
were up against can be readily sppre-
A fare of $3.50 to $500 per passenger
was charged. and people who were in
the habit OF making this trip soon came
to know that the Overland could be de-
pended upon to make the trip In safety.
As q result its owner had more business
than he could take care OF.
The hood OF the car. OF course, had to
be heavily wrapped and the radiator
was emptied every night.
In spite Of the deep snow no great
trouble was experienced during the four
or 1--WE months this car was In opera
tion before the railroad extension could
be completed.

PRICE OF STUDEBAKER
WILL BE ADVANCED
Increase Will Be Put Into Effect
About First Of December.

l.. J. Oiiier. in charge OF sales OF the
Studebaker Corporation. has an
nounced that on or about December
prices OF Studcbaker cars, both the four
and tho six. will advance from So to
500 over prevailing prices.
There have been advances on all
material entering into the manufacture
OF automobiles. ESPECIALLY on steel Of
all kinds. pig iron, castings, stampings,
sheet metal, aluminium, leather. and up
hoistcring materials" said Mr.. Ollier.
I'm the face OF these rapid advances,
ranging from 10 to 100 per cent, Stude-
baker has so far maintained list prices.
Our reserve stocks and longtime con-
tracts have been responsible.
But conditions In the industry have
reached a point where substantial In
crease to present prices In imperative.
However" said Mr.. Ollier, I'VE still
have large reserve stocks OF some ma
tcrials on hand. and other materials
necessary for US to maintain our enorm-
Gus production are still being purchased
at old prices. While materials have In
creased from 40 to 100 per cent, our
prices will be advanced only from to
10 per cent. Prices are to be Increased
only proportionately with the increase
In the cost of manufacturing Studeba-
kor oarb under prevailing conditions"

formed an aeroplane company. tho pur-
pose OF which Is to build aeroplanes
capable of circumnavIgating the globe In

hangers and viewed the magnificent
following details about It.;

100 miles an hour with two-bladed pro:
peller. It ought to make at least 800
miles with q six-bladed one. Progress
on the machine was delayed a bit at the
start. as the designer had a few odd
plumbing jobs to attend TO.
The most remarkable thing about the
plane 10 that the motor power will be
furnished entirely by compressed air.
thus enabling the machine to be opera
tod without any expense. II compressed
air will not work. the company plans TO

sure whether It's great weight will per-
NIT OF Its flying. but they will test
that out on the initial trip. Another
remarkable feature OF the aeroplsne
will be its fuel capacity. Allowing eight
quarts apiece for the passengers and the
members OF the crew. the fuel capacity
will be about 800 gallons.
The aeroplane will be lavishly equip

Tho radiator should be drained and

MOTOR CAR TRADE
ON SOUND BASIS
Manufacturers Striving Hard to

BY M. A. BAYLEs,
Record Auto Company.

In consideration OF the tremendous de-
mand on, the automobile msnufa cturers
and tho titanic growth OF the sutomo-
pile Industry, engineers and manufac-
turers have kept apace with the public
demand both in quality, refinement,
durability and economy. They make i'm

age.
One OF the greatest signs Of tho
healthy foundation on which this in
dustry has besn built. 10 the factory's
present endeavors to maintain the pres
ent prices. This IL very commendable
In face Of tho enormous increase In price
OF raw material. and with the demand
greater than any other time In the short
history OF the motor car.
These facts should be encouraging TO
the dealer and convince the buying pub
ic that the automobile industry 10 being

The automobile dealer also appreciates
that his business. properly conducted IL
