P0UNDACE ON
 US, RAILROAD IS INCREASING

A gain of 3,OO0,O0O pounds, or 1,5OO tons of freight received at the office of the United States railway, with headquarters in Anchorage, during the first four months of 1921 over the same period in 1920 is shown by the official comparative report of the vol ume of business handled by the of flee. AS forecast of fair weather trade conditions for Anchorage and the vast rich territory made tributary through the construction of the rail- way no better barometer than the figures of the report could we'll be imagined.
 During January, February, March and April of the current year 28,457,- 394 pounds were received, as com pared with 23,544,725 pounds for 1920. This splendid increase cannot be ac- credited to the big bridge construc- tion work which has involved the handling of tons of steel structural pieces since the transfer of A. E. c. shipments show a decline of over B. 100000 pounds. This decline is, however, counterbalanced by the gain made in commercial shipments. Rath- CT, it may be regarded as indicative of the growth and development of the small towns and farming com munities to the northward, involving an increasing retail trade, as well as the opening of the rich mining fields at Cache creek, Willow creek aud farther interior the Ophir and Kantishna districts. This has meant of food stuffs as we'll as lumber and machinery. During the four months of 1920 but 665,023 pounds of com- mercial freight was forwarded, while in the same period of 1921 3,S99,S51 pounds were sent out, an increase of 3,234,72S pounds. The A. E. c. ship ments show for 1920, 23,S55, ,179 pounds; for 1921, 2O,e23,552 pounds.
 Although up to the present time the railroad has been considered largely as means for conveying of freight a baggage report indicates that passenger traffic is also showing an increase. The outgoing baggage for the entire year of 1920 was built over twice as large as the outbound baggage for the past four months of 1921.
 The gain for the incoming is not so radical in the comparison of the four months just passed with the year of 1920. However, comparison of the pieces handled in the two years month by month, shows always gain in favor of the present year; an increase of 126 pieces in January, 297 in February, 311 in March and 63 in April

MAPLE SUGAR
 CROP IS MUCH
 BELOW USUAL

MONTPELIER, Vt., June 6 (by As sociated Press).-A capricious spring and high cost of production kept the maple sugar crop in Vermont below normal this year. This is the sum- mary of reports to larger dealers here from sugar farmers throughout the states. There will be no shortage of the tangy sweet, however, they say, as there was considerable surplus from 1920.
 Although the forest census shows that there are 1O,0OO,OO0 sugar maple trees in Vermont not more than B. 500,000 of them have ever been de- veloped This year about 4,500,000 were tapped. The sugar and syrup yield, it is estimated, will be less than 5000 tons.
 Weather conditions were important factors in the, decrease, as the un- usually warm periods of early spring were not tempered by the frosty night that are needed to contract and expand the sap flow so that it will run freely.
 Farmers declare they were obliged to pay wages equal to the scale of a year ago and that other equip ment used in harvesting showed no decrease in price.

5-NEW YORK TEAMS PENNANT CHANCES EXPRESSIONS
MISSISSIPPI COLLEGE. TO MEET A. & M. OCT. IA

Clinton, Miss, September 29.-(Spe- cial )--Coaeh Robinson has an nounced that 1t has been definitely decided that Jackson will be the scene of the Mississippi College-Agri- cultural and Mechanical grid clash, and that the date has been changed to Friday, October 14
 This is probably the most important game on the schedule for Mississippi college this season, and 1t is one that will draw many spectators. Missis- sippi and Agricultural and Mechapi- cal have been rivals for years, and alumni and friends of both institu- tions will gather from all parts of the state to see this annual foot ball battle. This will be the first game this season which has any bear ing on the state championship, and, of course, the loser will be eliminated from the race.
 Although the Aggies were vic- torious last fall. Coach Robinson feels that he has a machine this season that will duplicate the trick of Mis- sissippi colleges team in 1915, which won the state championships Some idea as to the strength of the Clin- ton lads can be had after the game with Tulane in New orleans next Sat- urday, which is the first. of the sea- son.

Alabama Freshies Meet Groue Hill
 on Campus Friday
By JACk FREEMAN

University. September 29.-(spe- cial)-Much interest is centering on the game between the University of Alabama freshmen and the team from Grove Hill High school, that Is to take place on Denuy field Friday. Grove Hill won the south Alabama football championship last year, and has probably the strongest high school eleven in the state this year.
 Gillis, star halfback for the high school, is as fine a broken field rum ner as will be found on most college teams. Barnes, his running mate, is also a speed merchant that will give any team trouble. Besides an un- usually strong back field they have a line that is both heavy and fast. Bush. Calhoun, Jordan and several other big boys make up the rush line that is attracting wide attention.
 The university freshmen are ex- pecting greater opposition in this game than any other preliminary game, and are straining every point to be in first-class condition for the affair.
 Large crowds are expected to wit ness the game, which will begin at f o'clock Friday on Denny field
