Which Are More Than 10000
Below What Was
Expected.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
WASHINGTON, June 9.-In nine
states a determined hunt for slack
ers is on today.
AS returns from registration for
selective service are compiled in the
provost marshal generals office here,
it Is found nine states are more than
$50 900 short of estimates made by
the census bureau.
Some officials figured that this
ratio would mean shortage of near
ly half million for the whole coun-
try.
Only four out of fourteen states
that have so far made complete Off
cial returns have shown registra-
ton exceeding census bureau estl-
mates.
A startling shortage was shown by
Mississippi reports. Complete official
returns from that state showed the
registration 38,0S1 below estimates.
Alabama's complete official reports
showed that state 34,967 short.
Wisconsin went more than 11,000
over her estimate.
Illinois, North Carolina and Con-
necticut also were well over the estf-
mates for those states.
The full returns from Mississippi
are: Total registration, 1885;
claimed and possible exemption
whites, 49,337; total whites regis
tered, 64,334; negroes claiming
exemption or possible exemption. A.

Alabama's returns were: Total

Speculator mine near here which was
morning. Out Of 415 men in the mine
than two thirds are unaccounted for.
officials fear that one hundred and
fifty men are dead and little hope is
held out for the recovery Of 200 others
trapped in the mine.
Rescue cars are being rushed from
Billings, Mont, and points in Colo
RADIO to the scene. Car number five
is expected by noon, but car number
two, now in Colorado, will not arrive
until late tonight.
Butte has one Of the best rescue
organizations in the country and with
federal aid it Is hoped to save many Of
the entombed men.
The fire started in the 2,400 foot
level Of the Speculator mine and
spread quickly to other levels. The
men on lower levels were cut off en-
tirely from escape. Great clouds Of
smoke poured from the shaft, retard-
ing the rescue work.
Miners working on adjoining prop
critics who were ordered to the surface
Immediately extended their efforts to
the rescue Of the imprisoned men.
Men on the upper level were able to
escape before the deadly smoke
fumes reached them They formed
rescue parties and attempted to go
down into the depths, but were forced
back by the smoke, many Of them be-
ing overcome.
The first statement regarding the
disaster was given, out an hour after
the holocaust started. l.. d. Frink,
superintendent, N. D. Brawley, general
manager Of the shaft and NJ. D. Con-
ners, foreman Of the Speculator said
they could account for 213 out Of Ais
men who were in the shaft when the
fire started.

at work In the Speculacor mine when
the fire broke out. OF these, two hun

TERMINAL DEPOT
 WILL BE MODERN
 IN ALL RESPECTS

Actual construction work will be commenced as soon as the grading is complete on the terminal depot for the U. $. railroad at Seward. This structure will be the first steam heat cd depot equipped with modern plumb ing on the line, other depots built at points north not having the advantage of water and sewer systems.
 The new structure will be of the regulation type, 9S by 24 feet, one story throughout. The building will be ccutcred at the southern edge of the depot tract which is 800 by 100 feet and will be surrounded by a six foot gravel walk.
 At the southern end of the depot will be a l2-foot ovcrhang allowing for an outdoor waiting room. The main waiting room, also on the south end, will be 24 by 90 feet with ncces- sary seats and conveniences and toilet rooms. The ticket office, which is centered in the building, will be 20 by 20 feet with am exposure on the tracks, the trainmen's hall being on the north side. The entire north end of the structure, 46 by 24, will be used for baggage and freight, until such time that the freight business in- creases to such an extent that a sep arate freight depot is necessary.
 There will be a basement under the ticket office section to accommodate the steam heating plant. The build ing will be equipped with modern plumbing throughout.
 The exterior finish will be stained shingles and there will be domer win dows over the center section to re- Heve the plainuess of the roof. The interior will be plaStered throughout.

LOW RATE ON FARM UTILITIES
 ID INTERIOR

The Alaskan Engineering Commis sion has issued Local Tariff No. II, naming commodity rates on agrcul- tural implements, household goods, nursery stock, seeds and vehicles from the temporary landing at Mile IA on Cook inlet to Matanuska and Palmer, Alaska. Ths revised schedule will en- able the farmers in that section of the country to ship agricultural inn plementS at $5.S0 per ton between Mile 1l4 and Matanuska, and $6.G0 between Mile IA and Palmer. The rate on household goods is $4.6O to Natanuska and $5.2O to Palmer. On nursery stock it is $5.SO to Matanus- ka and $G.6O to Palmer. The rate on seeds, seed potatoes, etc, is $4.6O to Matanuska and $5.2O to Palmer. The rate on vehicles, farm wagons. trucks. bob sleds, etc, is $5.SO to Matanuska and $6.6O to Palmer.
 This tariff was established especial " for the benefit of the farmers so that they may be enabled to secure their farming implements, seeds, etc, at the cheapest possible rate.

CHANGE IN BRIDGE
 PLANS WAS FORESEEN

Determination of Chairman Edes to erect temporary wooden bridges over the Panama owing to the high price of steel was foreseen by officials of the purchasing department early th;s year when bids submitted on all steel materials for railroad construction commenced going skywmd.
 The type of permanent bridge to be erected over the Panama will probably be determined later. In this line it is interesting to note that the Copper River & Northwestern railroad has found it economical not to erect per mancnt steel bridge over the Copper river at Chitina, although the traffic over that stream in Copper ore now amount to S4,OOO,OOO per month. The cost of building a temporary structure on piling each year after the old one is taken out by the ice is far less than the interest on the sum necessary to build a permanent steel structure and the closing of the line for two or three weeks each spring causes little ncon- vcniencc.
