lieye the best. If not the only practical
plan. is the federal incorporation OF
railroads by general law. which will
make incorporation hereunder com

companies throughout the United
States the same corporate powers and
restrictions with respect to their inan-

aud obligations Il the public and the
government. so that every investor will
know precisely what every railroad
corporation may and may not lawfully
do"
Judge Loyett contended that the so

ties rested with congress He told the
committee that under the constitution
the authority of the federal govern.
ment Is paramount, that congress has
the power TO legislate for "A centralized
control OF railroads under federal char

Washington, March 26.-Responsibil-

country, for providing necessary trans
portation facilities to care for the grow

country, now rests largely with con

Union Pacific system. to the Newlands

that body resumed its inquiry into
the subject Of railroad regulation this

In making this statement of the
changed conditions of the railroad sit

in mind the decision of the supreme
court on the Adamson law, handed
down last week, which establishes the
right OF the federal government to fix
railroad wages and to prevent strikes.

Importance ofLightness

A light piston insures
smoothness and power. Light
er pistons allow other motor
parts of corresponding light
ness. Ignite pistons reduce
the strain on the bearings 100
pounds per square inch over
the cast iron piston.
The wonderful smoothneSS
of the Chalmers at all speeds
is largely due to the lightness
of the pistons. So also is the
motors remarkable power.

Chalmers pistons weigh

Each one of these Chalmers
pistons is true to its die. All

No greater variation than

Agricultural Expert. Predicts Grea' Future for the Country From .Agri. cultural Standpoint-Nluch Ham. pered by Lack of Roads.

M ID. SnOdgraSS. superintendent ot the Kodiak Agricultural Experimental station. was a through passenger on the Admiral Watson for the States, where he will purchase cattle for the Kodiak station and horses for the new station recently established at Mate nuska, which will be in charge Of MT. Raeder formerly of the Rampant sta tion.
 MT. Snodgrass has spent some time past in the Matanuska district and is very favorably impressed with its agri- cultural possibilities. Last year. he states, wheat. oats. and barley were matured there and yielded very fav- orably. while potatoes and the ordl- nary garden products gave excellent returns despite the unfavorable sea son. This year, with normal condi- tions. he expects to see a great gain in the output of that section and at the greatly enhanced prices for farm pro ducts the farmers of that section will do we'll.
 One of the most pressing needs Of that section. MT. Snodgrass states. is wagon roads as feeders to the rail road. Under present conditions he says, the agriculturists are experienc- ing the greatest difficulty in getting their produce to market. and in team ing their supplies and provisions to their homesteads from the railorads- An effort will be made to have the territorial road overseer for this divi- sion look into the matter with view to securing as much work as possible on the roads of that section.
 In September MT. Snodgrass will go to Fairbanks. to relieve J. w. Neal, superintendent of the station there. who will leave the service and will go to California. where he has a large ranch of his own that he will devote himself to in the future.
