RAILWAYS PLAN COMBINE
 TO UNITE MAJOR SYSTEMS

WASHINGTON, D. C.. Sept. 29- The Interstate Commerce Commis- sion has announced tentative plans for the consolidation of all of the major railroads of the country into nineteen systems, and the public is notified that hearings will be held in the near future for the purpose of considering the project. Such a consolidation as is proposed, is per mitted under the provisions of the new transportation act.
 The proposed combination, 1t is explained, will retain competitive ar engagements between transportation lines. giving most sections of the country access to two or more great routes. The principle followed, is the hitching of the weaker and less profitable roads to their more pros porous competitors.

JOE WILSON RIVER VICTIM;
 WAS DROWNED LAST FRIDAY

Agent J. H. Scott, of the local office of the White Pass Route, has been informed by wire of the death of Joe Wilson, fuel agent of the company, and Frank Dumontier, en- gineer and machinist, also in the employ of the transportation com pany. The wire states that the two men were drowned in the Yukon river at some point above Dawson. but does not explain how the fatal accident occurred.
 Joe Wilson was one of the most widely known and popular employees of the company in Alaska. He was an oldtime resident of Dawson and had been long in the service of the company as fuel agent, with head quarters at Whitehorse. He was in Nenana only a short time ago, on an official trip along the river. He is survived by a wife and two children.
 Dumontier also had been in the employ of the company for a num- Der of years and was well known along the upper river.

MAYO ORE SHIPMENTS WILL
 HELP CAMPS ALONG YUKON

In the opinion of J. 4. Fairborn, Fairbanks agent of the White Pass Route, the development of the Mayo galena deposits will prove a great benefit to shippers along the Yukon river, below Dawson. Mir. Fairborn, who was in Nenana this week look ing after the transfer of late ship nents of freight to Fairbanks, says that the White Pass will be called upon next summer to haul about 30,00O tons of ore from the Mayo district to St Michael, for re-ship- ment from that point to American smelters Outside. The shipment of this ore will give the company a back haul'' which they have not had heretofore. and will materially reduce the cost of operations, thus enabling the company to quote low CT freight rates on supplies hauled from St. Michael up the Yukon. MT. Fairborn has not been authorized to discuss the rate question and does not know what the rates will be next season, but he points out that the White Pass will have consider able cargo space available for the upriver haul and that shippers will undoubtedly be encouraged to make the most possible use of 1t. ......
 Mir. Fairborn thinks it possible that both the steamers Yukon and Alaska, which were built number of wears ago especially for the Daw- son-Fairbanks run. will be placed on the Mayo-St. Michael run next sum mer as ore carriers. He bases his opinion on the fact that the Gov ernment railroad will be completed early next year and in position to handle all freight for Tanana Valley points. thus compelling the White Pass to confne its activities veyy largely. if not entirely, 10 the Yukon river. leaving the Tanana river to independent boats of small type.
 Speaking of the Mayo district, MT. Fairborn informed The News that all of the options held in that camp bv the Guggenheims and the Tread we'll interests have been taken up as the result of investigations which have demonstrated the stability of the ore bodies, which have large eX- tent and high values. The showing is such. in fact, Mir. Fairborn be- lieves. that he White Pass railroad eventually W Il be extended into the district from V'hitehorse to handle the big ore shipments.
 Ny. Fairborn will leave Fairbanks during the early part of the winter and considers 1t dorbtful I he will return, owing tO the likelihood of tho withdr wal of he boat O. the company --orn the Tsnena rl-er.
