of the project is fully outlined on a business basis. A new man might introduce his individual ideas into the project, with resultant changes which would retard the completion of the road for many months with consequent delay to development of the Interior.
 The applicant, mentioned in press dispatches, fmeaning John E. Bal laine, of Seward) would be most unfortunate choice. Since inception of this project he has constantly harrassed it's builders at every for ward step. He has endeavored, where possible, to retard the prog ress of construction of the Govern ment railroad. He is a local partisan and would not hesitate to move offices, shops, wharves, etc., to a place where he had property (mean- ing Seward) and to suit his own selfish ends. He has been repudi- ated on more than one occasio I by his own town, as not represent ative of the best interests Of his town Gnd the territory at large. He is probably backed by Canadian in. terests and others with large hold,
 ings who wish to get control of the Government railroad project.
 We trust you can see your way clear to continue the present man agement of the railroad construction
 in power to complete this project and permit the territory to go for ward in it's development.

FALL ASSURES
 ANCHORAGE ALL IS WELL


 Replying to a lengthy message which was sent to Washington by the Anchorage Chamber of Com merce, protesting against the sug- gested removal of Col. Mears, as head of the Alaskan Engineering commission, Secretary of the h. terior Fall recently sent the follow ing telegram to the coast organiza- tion:
 Washington, D. C., Mar. 16 Chamber of Commerce,
 Anchorage.
 Press notices any change man. agement Alaska railroad entirely un- authorized at present time. Have heard nothing concerning matter ex- cept from your telegram. Have not seen name any applicant mentioned and no application filed with me. No cause for excitement whatsoever Policy of this administration will be for a business administration of all Alaskan affairs and proper develop ment Alaskan resources in interest of Alaska and country generally and neither politics nor personalities will be allowed to interfere with this program.
 ALBERT B. FALL
 The telegram sent by the An chorage chamber to the secretary, was as follows:
 We read with alarm the press notiees of possible change in man. agement of the Alaska railroad. Trust this is only rumor and that no move of this nature will actually occur with its disastrous results for Alaska. The Alaska railroad project has been business proposition from beginning and handled by business men without the appear ance of political influence. Edes, the first chief engineer, was Western man. Mears. the present chief en- gineer, has worked for railroads ever since finishing his schooling. Emphasis is being placed on the fact that he represents the army. This is not the case. He was appointed at the inception of this work because of his ability as a railroad execu- tive. On the Panama canal, where he had wide experience for years in railroad construction and oper- ation, he reported to Mr. John F. Stevens, a civilian, and to Ralph Budd, civilian, now president of the Great Northern. Even while serving in France. as head of Amer ican railways. Mears reported to officers who had been appointed from civilian life because of their rail- road experience, namely Atterbury and Slade Mears is a member of American Society of Civil Engineers and has been for 12 years.
 This project is within about II months of completion To disrupt the work now, just as the last active construction season opens by re- placing the head of the project and effecting consequent reorganization, would be most unfortunate and ex- pensive. The work for completion

CURFEW LAW IS TERROR FOR LATE
 GOING CITIZENS

Dublin, July 26-The number of persons who are victims of the cur few law increases weekly and the ex- perience which they all must go through is exciting, if not comforta- b1e. The majority of those taken by the military are persons who had no intention of violating the law but are detained at the home of a friend be- yond midnight.
 The usual procedure is this. A military motor lorry filled with sol diers each with a strong searchlight comes up along side of the unfortu- nate ones and calls upon them to halt A request is made for a, permit and if as is usual, there is none forth coming. the Dublinites are taken into custody loaded into the truck which then proceeds on it's way.
 From time to time, joyful citizens, who have dined too well, are collected and join the party. When the searchers are through the whole load of violators are taken to the Bride well prison where they must spend the night. If the offenders prove to be obviously innocent citizens they are released in the morning and are none the worse off except for the ride in the lorry which they say is the worst feature of the experience.
