by the president, to operate the roads
as a unit, diverted freight as he
pleased, and to pool rolling stock and

congress had time to fully inform it.

 Referring to the law authorizing foreign vessels to engage in coast wise shipping, the writer asks:

WICKERSHAM IN HE JOB
 FOR ALASKA

Washington, Nov. 12. - James Wickersham, contestant for the seat of delegate from Alaska tin Con gress, Is still active in the Alaska freight rates" investigation, which was heard by the Interstate Com merce Commission last summer. MT. Wickersham today filed petition for a rehearing in the matter, and based his plea for reconsideration of the case on the fact that de- mans for copper have been greatly increased since the entrance of the United States into the war, and all leging that discriminating rates are in force preventing numerous small copper producers from working their property, thus diminishing the possible output.
 Copper production In the terri tory is now greatly curtailed, states Wirkersham's petition for rehear- ing, and the Copper River and Northwestern railroad, and she White Pass and Yukon railroad, are blamed. !
 It is chargd that the Copper River road is subsidiary of the great Kennecott copper corpora ton and that this company charges exorbitant rates to small producers so that they cannot afford to mine and snip their ore. The high rate it is pointed out, does not pre- vent the big company from ship ping, as the railroad and mine In terests are said to be one and the same; no matter what rate is charg- ed it amounts to taking the money out Of one pocket and putting 1t back into another.
 Wickersham also asks that the Commission regulate the rates now being charged by The White Pass and Yukon road.
 The fact that the nations war industries are in need of copper, moved the petitioner to ask for a re-opening of the Case. On first consideration, the Commission did not sustain most of the complaints that transportation facilities in the North were dominated by certain large mining interests.
 Alaska merchants who appeared before the Commissions representa- tive iu the hearing held last sum mer, maintained that they were discriminated against by transporta- ton ComDanies in favor of mining and capnery interests. Judge Wick ersham led the investigation and Rc' companied the Commissions agent On hls tour North, collecting evil dence in the case.

ALASKA SPRUCE WILL
 BE SOLD BY THE [. s.

A tlocB of spruce timber con tainipg 6,7S0,OOO feet, board meas u-e, of spruce and 5000 feet of hemlcck lying along the north shore of Ieceta island on the TongrasS national forest, Alaska, will be sold for not less than $2.25 thousand feet for spruce, and 50 cents per thousand for hemlock, according to an announcement from District Forester George H. Cecil, at Port land.
 The spruce is said to be unusually good quality for the rgeion and will cut out a fairly large percent age et lumber suitable for airplane construction. The tract embraces about S34 acres.
 There are a number of sawmills in Alaska cutting airplane spruce from stumpage purchased from the government. Only small percent age of the lumber from any spruce tract is suitable for aircraft con struction, because of the specially high grade of lumber required.
 Although there are more than 20,000,000S acres of government land included in the Tongrass and Chugaeh national forests in Alaska, the receipts from the sale and use of forest resources are considerably in excess of the cost of administra- ton. Because of the unusual de- mand for airplane material the spruce forests of Alaska are attract ing more attention than ever before.
