Another feature ia the avoidance of
heavy loss through present exchange
rates. If the entire f27,000.000 to be
received for the ships and assets sold
were to have been brought to the United
states for distribution among the share
holders of the Marine company there
would have been a loss of several mill
lions of dollars on exchange. Under the
pi esent plan the entire amount, less
what may be necessary to retire the
bonds, will be left in the treasury OF
the International Navigation Company
and all that will be brought to America
will be the shares of that company, on
which there can be no exchange loss.

Legislator Makes Big Mush To
 BeOn Time

On the Curacao from the west" ward last week was Almer Rydeen of Candle, Alaska, who waa on his way to Juneau to serve his district as 8 member of the legislature. The honorable Rydeen brought his dog team with him to Anchorage and made the last sixty miles before arriving at Montana creek, in one day. Mir. Rydeen will be entitled to the largest amount of mileage of any member of the legislature, and to say that he earned it would be only half telling the truth. It is well in the neighborhood of three hundred miles from Candle to Un- alaklee.. the first lap of the long "mush;" from that place it is ntn- ety miles to Kaltag, on the Yukon. Continuing up the river it Is for ty- fivo miles to Nulato; from there tn Ruhy, one hundred and twenty miles; from Ruby to Fort Gibbon another one hundred and twenty miles; from Gibbon to Nenana, one hundred and thirty miles and from Nenana to the end of steel to Mon tana creek, close to one hundred and seventy miles. All this dis tance was negotiated by dog team with thA exception of the forty odd miles from Nenana to the end ot steel and from Montana creek to Annh orsge,r
 Mir. Rydeen states that the Old Candia camp is still a very sub stantial placer producer and that there Is plenty of money to be e1- tracted from that section yet.
 Hen. John Dunn, legislator from Ruby in the fourth district, accom- panied Mir. Rydeen from Ruby, and was also a passenger on the Cura- cao to Juneau. MT. Dunn says he was very favorable impressed with the mining possibilities of the Broad Pass section.

Overland Sets New Record

1 An Overland, Model so. has just
established a worlds record for a
nonstop run with gears sealed in
high. The car was driven over the
roads around Oklahoma City for sew
en- days. In the 16S hours of con-
tinuous running the car covered A.
3701 miles That exceeds the next
best record which had stood since
1915 by almost 200 miles.
The remarkable feature vi the run
was that il making this distance,
equal to trip from Cambridge to
Los Angeles and hack to Oklahoma
without change of gear or engine
stop. the Overland drivers averaged
624.3 miles a day. The gasoline US
ed averaged 20.66 miles TOR each
gallon. 1t was gasoline of SO test.
The previous American Automobile
Association record for twenty-four-
hour, nonstop run, was 5S7 miles.
The run was held by Dick Car
hart, of the Carhart Motor Company,
of Oklahoma City, Overland and
Willys-Knight dealers. The car was
run on dirt roads more than half the
time, and the rest of the run was on
rough country boulder stretches and
the poor payements of the suburbs
of Oklahoma city. The carburetor
was never adjusted, nor a spark plug
replaced. There were but three pune
lures.
During the seven days Of continu-
Gus driving the Overland SO encoun-
tered two days of hard-driying rain
and from twelve to fifteen hours OF
each twenty-foul were spent in the
traffic of the city. Four drivers were
used, working i'll four shifts.
The run was planned by Mr.. Car
hart in an effort to break existing
records for seGled-in-high-gear nom
stop test. The judges for the event
were carefully selected, consisting of
the president OF the chamber of COM
merce, the managing editor of the
Daily Oklahomian and the managing
editor OF the Daily Oklahoma News.
These men checked the reports of
the observers and closely followed
the car themselves. The run excited
the greatest attention throughout the
State, as demonstration of economy
and efficiency of operation Adv.

For foriy-eight years France has
waited for Wednesday. In the same
historic seeitins at Versailles. where
Alsaco and Lorraine were. torn from
her and humiliating indemnity ex-
acted by Bismarck at the close Of the
Franco-Prussian war in 1871, the tables
have been turned at last. 10 Is as
every Frenchman has hoped 10 some
day might be.
On the day after Sedan, which wit
messed the collapse OF the French
armies in the earlier conflict Bismarck
turned to one Of his commanders and
said:
we have had enough OF this.
France must be classified for her
pride.'
germany, which did not seek this
opportunity, has made use OF il for her
own security, which oan only be guar
teed by a cession Of territory Bis

In February the French and German
representatives, met for the signing Of

NJ Jules Simon, one Of the Preach
delegates, they found Bismarck par
ticularly excited and his manner Of re-
ceiving NJ Thlery was constrained and
naughty. his language was sharp, all

Bismarck had been advised the day

tended making certain representations
regarding the amount OF the indem-
nifty.
