Dean of the Wharton School of
Finance on the Need of Good
Railroad Credit.
TO MAKE INVESTMENT SAFE.
National Authority on Railroad Trans
Pertation Says Roads Must Be
sef-supportina or Become
Bankrupt
TO MAKE INVESTMENT SAFE.

In an address on THE Railroad Puz-
zle." delivered In Philadelphia, Janu-
AIRY 3, DR.. Emory r. Johnson, dean OF
the Wharton School of Finance, and
one OF the nations leading authorities
on railroad transportation, declared
that after the first OF March the com
panies must be self-supporting or be-
come bankrupt" Continuing, he said:
Can the railroads be successfully
financed and operated when they are
returned to their owners7 For two
years the government has drawn upon
the public treasury to sustain the
credit OF carriers.
IF the carriers avoid failure their
income must cover operating expenses,
maintenance and capital charges; II
the companies succeed to the extent
that is demanded in public interest,
they must not only be able TO meet un-
avoidable expenses, they must have
some surplus revenue.
IF there is no income to be used in
par for betterments and IN part for
the public will not invest in the rail-
roads, their credit cannot be re-estah-
lished and maintained and corporate
ownership and operation OF the rail-
WAYS will fall
The income OF the carriers Is deter
mined by public regulation. and prop
erly so; but fronn this it follows that
the country must decide between
policy OF adequate revenues 10 the
railroad corporations OF the future and
a policy OF government ownership.
The government is entitled 10 credit
for having given greater unity 10 rail
road operation, both line and terminal.
lt has done much that the carriers
were prohibited from doing The pub
lie now realize that cooperation OF
the carriers in the joint use OF equip
ment and terminals should be encour-
aged. instead OF prevented
The railroad legislation now pend
ing In Congress must solve many diff
cult questions. but the most critical one
is that OF providing for the future reg
ulstion OF railroads in accordance with
a policy that will cause the carriers 10
secure revenue sufficient 10 enable
them 10 perform their services ade-
Quately and with progressive efficiency.
The railroad business must be made at
tractiye TO private investments or the
country will have to adopt government
ownership and operation OF the rail-
roads. There Is no other alternative"

OLD HATS AND WAR MASKS OF NATIVES
 FURNISH A DISPLAY

X rare collection of war masks of early Indian days in Alaska and Of hand carved wooden hats, all de- noting certain importance, is the at tractive display in one of the show windows of the Nugget Shop of Simpson and Wright. The entire dis play wasss recently purchased by Dl' Simpson at Klawock and by deiy- ing into the meaning of the hats. especially, certain significance IS. brought out, which if undertaken by todays later generations, much in dividual trouble would be prevented.
 The war masks and the hats were carved from huge blocks Of wood then painted in the fantastic but meaning colors of certain birds or animals.
 The hats and war masks are those formerly belonging to the Hyda h. dians who were, in past years, the slaves of the Thlinkets.
 One hat small crown but with the long bill of a bird, is called the trouble makers" hat. When a na- tive was found to have been causing trouble, he was apprehended. taken before the chief of the tribe and sentenced to wear the hat for two or three days and subjected to the icers of these who cared to impress npon him that he must keep tight mouth and not spread scandal. There is the peace makers" bon ret, represented by bird. The peace maker was one who acted as 9 sort of mediator between two parties to bring about settlement. 1 Tie wearer of this has was usually accorded much courtesy. The desig- mated bird was chosen because il was supposed to fly far cut to sea but would act in defense if any O. ! the bird tribe was attacked.
 The "potlatch hat, representing a bear, was used by native when giving his potlatsh. The native be 1 lieved that the bear first taught man what to eat and how to live from the land. The bear was be lieved to eat only that which gave strength to the body and nothing that was harmful When native had l lived like the bear. he thrived and was able to bestow gifts upon favored ones.
 One hat, to which was attached much significance, was the "quitters i hat. This hat was worn by native when he found himself against a stronger party than himself. Instead of fighting and getting whipped, the antive would go to the chief of the | tribe and ask for the "q1itter's' hat and he would then not be dumped by his stronger opponent.
 The war masks are of different kinds and were used to frighten the f enemy.
 One interesting article in the win dow, which is of commercial i'm portance, is halibut hook, primitive in construction but there" just tht same The contrivance is hant I carved but this does not detrac from it's usefulness. The spike, uset as hook is placed in such posi- ton that the fish will swallow l readily. and when the hook seem'
 caught. the trip line violently move and the fisherman is signaled. Tn , fisherman pulls another string ant
 the fish hook closes, firmly graspini : that within it's grasp. Herring wa
 used in the old days to bait the hool the same as now.

 it's own special relation to triba

managed to get soft coal right along,
not in large quantity, but enough to
keep patrons satisfied, in the hope of
a larger supply for winter little later
Farmers are selling neither corn nor
wheat now, except an odd load of
wheat from time to time. The ele.

old corn but that price is not to the
liking of those who have old corn
