 FLOAT BONDS
 FOR SCHOOLS

KETCHIKAN, Dec. IA. - Tentative floating the bond issue for the new school structure for Ketchikan are taking shape, according to members of the board, and it is hoped to get the construction under way early in the spring, in order to have it ready for occupancy next winter The cost of the school has not been estimated yet, but it probably will be between s75,OOO and $1OO,O00, the amount au- thorized by congress for the bond is sue
 No definite location for the school house has been decided on yet, but it is probable that one will be chosen within Q few days. George w. Law ton, architect of Seattle, who is ex- pected here in a few days, has offered to furnish the board, without charge, some sketches for a structure such as Ketchikan should have. A care full study is being made of school ar chitecture throughout the United States, and the building when com- pleted will be along the lines of the most modern.
 The matter of floating the bonds must be started soon in order to get the money in time for the commence ment of work. One big bonding house in the east has offered to handle them, but an effort probably will be made to have them taken up at home or large portion of them at least.
 There has been some suggestion that the bonds be issued in small de- nominations, in order that almost everyone might have the honor of buying a bond or two bonds. or more as the case might be, each to repre- sent so many barrels of cement for the new structure.

"AUCTI0N OF SOULS" TONIGHT ONLY AT
 EMPRESS THEATER

"The Auction of Souls" an eight reel epic of Armenian tragedy, played by Aurora Mardiganian her self, sole survivor of half a million Christian Armenian girls, and de- picting her own story of two years of hell, in Kurdish slave markets, and Turkish harems, as we'll as her final escape to America, is shown to- night at the Empress.
 Torn from a convent; eye witness to the murder of father, mother, sis ters and brothers; buried at night in the burning sands of the desert to escape the Kurds; sold at public auc- tion for eighty-five cents; kept pris- oner in Turkish harem-these are only few of the terrible experiences suffered by this seventeen year old Armenian refugee.
 The truth of the experience de- picted in Auction of Souls" is sub- stantiated by reports of the British investigator, Viscount Bryce, and our American ambassador to Turkey, Morgenthau.
 The picture vividly portrays the traged that befell a nations girl hool. Aurora herself is the human document which gives this marvellous production, it's sympathetic appeal; it will set your blood to boiling, and will make you thank Providence that your lot is cast in America.

SUCCESTSPAY
 T0RAILR0ADS
 OF M0NIESDUE

WASHINGTON, Dec. 14 (by Asso- ciated Press). - Immediate payment of the railroads of sums due them under the guaranty provisions of the transportation act but withheld un- der the ruling of the comptroller of the treasury, was declared by the interstate commerce commission in its annual report to be vital "in or der that the carriers may properly serve the public" The commission recommended that congress amend the railroad act to permit the release and payment to the roads of the mon- ey thus tied up.
 Many of the roads are greatly
 handicapped because of their in ability to collect the guaranty, the
 commission said.
 On the subject of equipment sup
 ply, the commission declared that while the shortage could be mini
 mixed by car conservation and in-
 creased efficiency. the only perma nent solution was substantial addi tions to the equipment. The latest
 general statistics of the commission showed that the railroads under it's
 Jurisdiction owned approximately g. 36S,S70 freight cars while an addi- tional 140,000 cars were owned pri- vately. The freight cars were divid-
 ed as follows: 1,O62.S3O box cars, l. 009S75 open top cars, 107S2O flat
 cars, S300O stock cars, 60,200 re- frgerator cars and 45 ,O0O cars of mis- cellaneous types.
 Despite the shortage of equip
 ment enumerated by the commission, it showed that the volume of freight
 carried during the first seven
 months of 1920 exceeded by I'll per
 cent the freight traffic for the cor
 responding period in 1919. Freight l traffic as a whole for the last seven months also was said by the commls- sion to be in excess of that of the entire year of 1919.
 While the traffic has increased, the commissions figures show, the
 net operating income has suffered a continuous decline since 1917. The commission attributed this to heavier
 maintenance costs in which war tax

ation figured Incomplete statistics, however, made it impossible for the commission to offer accurate con- parison between the years 1917 and 1920, and it made no attempt to esti- mate the figures for any portion of the year.
 The commissions accident table discloses that 6,495 per sons were discloses that 6,495 persons were accidents during the year of 1919. Of these, 1,784 or more than 27 per cent met death in grade crossing accidents.
