Work more
Produce more

But we can't continue increasing our
production unless we continue increasing
our railroad facilities.
The farms, mines and factories cannot
increase their output beyond the capacity
of the railroads to haul their products
Railroads are now near the peak of their
carrying capacity.
Without railroad cXpansion-more en-
gines, more cars more tracks, more ter
minas-there can be little increase in
production.
But this country Of ours is going to
keep right on growing-and the railroads
must grow with it.
To command in the investment markets
the flow Of new capital to expand railroad
facilities and SO increase production
there must be public confidence in the
future earning power of railroads.
The nations business can grow only as
fast as the railroads grow.

CHAIN OF WIRELESS IS PROPOSED THROUGH
 ALASKA TO SIBERIA

Additional details to what were carried in press dispatches regarding the plan to substitute the Alaska cable for wireless stations are con- taired in the following from the Seattle Times:
 Erection of the big wireless stations at Seattle and Fairbanks would furn- ish the first unit in a new line of con- munication between the United States and the Orient for which the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Conner cial Club has been campaigning, be- cause of congestion on the present cable and the delay in receiving and transmitting messages.
 It has been suggested that the most practicable way to span the space be- tween the United States and Asiatic shores would be by way of Alaska and Attu islands far westward from the mainland.
 Frank c. Doig, director of publicity for the Chamber of Commerce, yes terday outlined suggestions of Lieu tenant-Colonel B. o. LenOir, of the United States Army Signal Corps who is stationed at Seattle in charge of the governments Alaska cable.
 Lieutenant Colonel Lenoir was quoted by Mr. Doig as advocating a high power radio station at an Alaskan point, suggesting Valdez and then another on Attu island, with a cable from that point on to Yoko- hama. The government proposes to build a station at Fairbanks, which is directly north and inland from Valdez, and it is pointed out that the second unit could extend from Fairbanks to Attu island as we'll as from Valdez. The army suggested using the pres ent Alaska cable over the first unit.
 Colonel Lenoir believes a cable should be laid to the Japanese coast, said MT. Doig. At Attu island the messages would be taken from the radio station and transmitted to To- kohama by the projected cable.
 By using cable from Attu island west, according to Colonel Lenoir, de- lays at relay points would be avoided to large extent. He points out that if ever the entire distance to the Orient messages were handled ex- clusively by wireless stations consid- erable delay would occur because Of one station interfering with another wLile sending or receiving.
 There is some difficulty in sending and receiving radio messages at the same station at the same time, ac- cording to the officer, and for this reason he believes it would be bet ter plan to have a cable from Attu island to Japan and relay the mes- sages by wireless between Attu island and Alaska. In this way by having one leg of the route covered by cable and the next by wireless interference would be avoided and service ex- pedited.
