of the most progressive regions of the West,
and by lessons such IS the British learned in
their lean-lardered days of war. In the agri-
cultural year of 1918, the United Kingdom
had fewer able-bodied men on its farms than
ever before in its modern history; and at the
same time it had less food in it's barns and
storehouses. Yet in that crucial twelvemonth
the United Kingdoms wheat harvest was the
largest, certainly among the largest it
ever had Produced and it's output of other
food staples was proportionally bountiful
This extraordinary achievement which played
no inconsiderable part in the winning of the
war, was made possible by squadrons OF farm
tractors such as are to be shown at the Macon
exposition. These machines manufactured
on rush" orders in the United States and
hurriedly shipped to the British Isles, were
set to preparing thousands of acres. They
were equipped with giant headlights so that
they could work by dark as we'll as day. They
packed the labor of months into minutes. and
the fruitage of years into single season.
They saved England from threatened famine
and helped to save civilization from threat
ened ruin.
Such are the potentialities of the farm
machinery which is to be shown at Macon III
the forthcoming demonstration. We again
congratulate Atlanta's sister city upon her
admirable enterprise and wish for the eXpOsi-
ltion that success and constructive influence
which we feel sure it will have in over -brim-
ming measure.

THE ALASKAN RAILWAY-By Frederic ]. Haskin

WV ASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. 26,--It looks
| wv as though Alaska will get her 509-
mile government railway finished at
last. At the request of Secretary Lane the
$13,8OO,OOO appropriation necessary to COM
plete the road is billed before congress, and
the chances are that the appropriation will be
passed at this session.
While affairs of war took first place in
the national interest, the Alaskan railway
machinery moved slowly. Materials were
scarce, particularly steel, which had been
almost entirely diverted from the peace-time
purpose of making steel rails, in order to
make the instruments of war Labor, too. has
been as scarce in Alaskan peace enterprises
as in those of the United States. Now that
labor and materials are more plentiful, Secre-
tary Lane asks for the final appropriation in
order that the project most vital to Alaska's
future may be completed within the next
three years.
The government railway completed will
be the biggest aid to progress that Alaska has
ever known. 1t will lay open coveted re-
sources that have hitherto been inaccessible.
The railway in full operation means conven-
fence and prosperity to Alaska, and it spells
the same things to the United States in
slightly smaller letters Furs, ecoal, gold,
and lumber are few of the products which
can be sent to the United States in greater
quantities. Alaskan coal fields, properly de-
velOped, will be of great value to the west.
This is as true picture of Alaska as a
view of Yellowstone Park is typical picture
of the United States. Alaska has miles Of
the most awe-inspiring scenery, but in be-
tween are towns and cities that now as
modern and typically American as any.
Anchorage is a single product Of what in
dustrial development is doing for the great
northwest. When the government railway
was planned Anchorage was not even a name
Today it is a thriving town of several thou
sand inhabitants, as progressive a community
as any western town it's size. The Alaskan
town has electric lighting, a modern fire de-
partment, hospitals and schools-in short all
the necessities and conveniences of it's coun-
terpart towns in the United States.
Alaskan progress has always been erratic
Rumors of gold or coal in an unexpected re-
gion, or any other project for making big
money have almost invariably resulted in new
communities, crude but vigorous. Where the
promise of wealth is fulfilled camp becomes
a village, town, often a city, in rapid sue
cession. Where luck is ba6, the settlement
usually continues to exist anyw,.y There is
scarcely an Alaskan town that does not owe
it's origin to some mans gamble with nature
AS Alaska grows il will become not only
mining and fishing district but agricul-
tural land as we'll. Its dairy and truck farms
which are now side line, should in time
make Alaska Independent of the United

States for a large part of it's agricultu ral sup
plies. The climate and soil of Alaska are
better suited to farming than is generally
supposed. Lands now under cultivation are
yielding good crops. |
With the railway in operation the interior
country can End will be developed more
RAPIDLY 1t is only since the government
railway was started that Alaskan coal pro-
duction is of enough importance to be taken
seriously. Coal mining is a promising fea-
ture of Alaskan enterprise for the near
future.
Alaska is now the navys big coal yard on
the western coast. This in spite of the lact
that the coal deposits have scarcely been
tapped. Mining coal in the northwestern
peninsula has been an expensive proposition
attended by many difficulties in the way OF
transportation, machinery and labor, with
lack of transportation always the big draw
back. 1t is close to impossible to gather to-
gether group of human beings who will live,
and work miles from a railway or city. And
it is an equally Herculean tas1Jto transport
machinery and the mine products without
a railway or navigabIe river close at hand.
1t is true that Alaska has a, number of
small strips of railway, but~nene Of these
shortens the distances across the country ass
the government railway does. And at that
the big railway joins only the south with the
central part. Alaska would have Jared worse
than she has, had it not been for her network
of rivers and her ragged coast with it's many
bays.
The government road when finished will
connect Seward at the extreme south of
Alaska with Fairbanks, some four hundred
miles away to the north. With ali the handi-
caps of continuing peace project in wartime
the track is now laid and in use from Seward,
the southern terminal, to Talkeetna, a dis
lance of 230 miles, and also for about AZ
miles at other points. A 38-mile branch line
to the Matanuska coal fields, now complete,
makes the total miles of track laid about 315.
The cost as originally estimated was $35 000-
600. Since 1915, however, the expenses of
building the road have increased so heavily
that an extra $9,800,000 will be needed. 1t
is this $9,800,000 and 100000 not yet
appropriated out of the promised $35 000,-
600 that Secretary Lane has asked for.
The far northwest is calling to many of the
soldiers recently back from France. Secre-
tary Lane has received thousands of inquiries
from ex-soldiers regarding employment in
Alaska especially on the railroad. Some of
these men will get to Alaska, but on the
whole the department of the interior follows
the policy that labor already in Alaska should
be employed before extra men are imported
from the United States. The United States
government does not, as is popularity believed,
pay the transportation of settlers or laborers
from the United States to Alaska.

In reputation and respect the United States
senate has never before come so near being
bankrupt in the eyes of the country. AS the
end of the session approaches, it presents
spectacle humiliating to the American peo-
pie. After three months it has to its credit
little except a continuous record Of amazing
incapacity and premeditated neglect of the
public business.
Ordinarily by this time 1t should have dis
posed of the regular annual appropriation
bills and important measures passed over
| from the previous session, and the orderly
conclusion of it's labors by March would be
/ a matter of routine. But all winter 1t has
talked about everything that was not before
it, and without leadership, without direction,
it has wandered aimlessly week after week
through the gusty regions Of oratory.
The Offense of the senate was willful. 1t
has shown neither the conscience nor the in
clinatOn to try to live up to the average
standards of congress in industry and dill
gence. In the face Of a grave situation it
fell into do-nothing policy when energy
was demanded of it and knowingly created
the congestion Of business which it now pro-
fesses it's inability to overcome.-New York
