bridge, this subject was rather fully discussed at a conference with As sistant Secretary Vogelsang and MT. Hallowell, during my recent trip to Washington. It was pointed out in the meeting that up to that date no definite steps had been taken to pro- vide permanent railroad bridges for these crossings.
 Since my interview with Assist ant Secretary Vogelsang, definite arrangements have been made which will insure the construction of these bridges in the most expeditions man. ner. consistent with economy. Both crossings have been thoroughly in- vestigated by our bridge department. and we have also had the advantage of the services of an expert bridge engineer, who has made personal examination of the bridge sites at both rivers. I have also taken oc icasion to send one of our engineers to the United States to handle this bridge matter directly with our con- sulting engineers in Chicago and with your office in Washington. and you may feel satisfied that no fur ther time will be lost in putting in these bridges.
 Tn the meantime, no great in Iconvenience is caused to the towns of Nenana and Fairbanks. During
 the summer months, the crossing of Ithe Panama river at Nenana (Mile 412) can be made in a short space lof time by the river boats, and dur i ing the winter season-seven months
 in the year-the narrow gauge track
 of the Goldstream line can be laid
 across the ice to make direct con- tnection with the standard gauge
 track at Nenana; provided, of course. that sufficient tonnage, coal
 and other commodities, is in sight
 to warrant the expense. With the Gus Peterson mine, at Mile 35S, op- ierating during the coming summer, it is expected that there will be sufficient inducement to make this track connection during the winter
 of 1e20-21.
 As regards the crossing of the lNenana river at Mile 370, will say that we have a temporary trest!e bridge at this crossing which carries standard traffic during the period
 Septem ,er to May. The structure

 the crossing of the river can bs
 made by small boats or by an aeria tramway which will be installed a
 this crossing during the next few
 months, capable of carrying four ton lifts. It will be seen, therefore that the inconvenience to the trans fer of passengers and material. il both circumstances, is more imagi
 nary than real.
 'In making their complaint, tn Nenana Commercial club have en tirely lost sight of a much nor

matter, viz, the construc- tion of the high steel viaducts in the Nenana Canyon district. In my judgment, the early completion of these viaducts is much more i'm portant to the Interior communities than the crossings of the rivers named, as the facilities already ex- isting at the two large river cross ings will take care of present re- quirements until we have the oppor- tunity to put in these bridges with out incurring excessive costs.
 "The contention of the Nenana Commercial club that the additional cost of shipping in all parts for the completed bridges, including the steel superstructure, via the river route, as against bringing the bridge material in over rail from the south, would not exceed $1SS,560, is not correct. The additional cost would probably exceed half million dol lars, and, moreover. 1t is not believ- ed any material saving in time would result. as it will take many months to have these bridges prop erly designed. advertised, fabricated, and shipped to Alaska. The bridge piers should be constructed, how ever. and made ready for the steel superstructure, in advance of the competitor of the line. and this mat ter will be given preferred atten- tion.

MARS ON WIRELESS

Washington, Jan. 29.-Interest mani
festly outweighed skepticism among
radio experts at the navy department
in discussing Signor Marconfs sug-
gestion that Mars may be attempting
to communicate with the earth by
radio.
Proponents of the theory said they
would enjoy the advantage of having
no competent disputants at least until
science in some way accounted for
the mysterious Interruptions that had
been experienced ever since wireless
telegraphy was perfected.
"These Interruptions or influences
are entirely distinct in their register

traceable to atmospheric or static con-
ditions," said Captain w. S. Bryant,
of the naval communications service.
"They record with feeble or 'mushy'
intensity as compared with the clash

confess that they have been a much
greater source of annoyance, however,

~ is not necessary" says Mr.. Com
pers, for Americans to know at all
times jus what were the exact condi-
tons in Germany before passing judg-
ment on the form OF government eN-
listing in Germany. 1t was necessary
only to know what was the FORM of
government and under what rules il
information about the form of gov
eTnment existing in what is called
SoViee Russia. All the information
necessary to the passing Of judgment
on Bolshevism and the system Of gov
eminent and as a state of society, is
at hand from sources that are anthem
tic.
The plea of those misguided per-
sons in America who say, Wait for
facts before passing Judgment is
nothing more than an excuse which it
is hoped will gain time for the Russian
experiment and enable it to spread to
other countries"
Quoting from the new Bolshevist
constitution, Mr.. GomperS points out
that while the fifth Pan-Russian con-
gress declares for a dictatorship Of
the proletariat and the poorest peas
antry, great portion of the peas
antry is disfrancilised and the largest
B0lSheviSt estimate of the proletariat
calculates them as only one-ffth of
the number of peasants. Even a fair
ly prosperous workingman, by this cal
culation, Mr.. Gompers says, Is not
prOletarian. Bolshevist statistics, he
says, show that the Bolshevist min
ority does not even represent the mass
es of factory workers in Moscow, the
Bolshevist stronghold.
Quoting from Bolshevist official
documents to show the extent Of mass
ed terror by the Bolsheviki, Mr.. Com
pers declared that "the economic con-
dition of internal Russia at the pres
ent time has absolutely nothing to do
with the merits or dement's of the
Bolshevist philosophy of government"
and adds ''that it should have no influ-
ence in determining the judgment Of
