REDUCTIONS IN FREIGHT
TONNAGE ON INCREASE

During the week ending June .
the number of cars In the, United
States loaded with revenue freight
decreased by so.72s compared with
the previous week. according to a
report of the car service division
of the American Railway Associs-
tion made public today. This de-
cline was attributed to the obssrv-
ance of Decoration Day on May 80.
Reductions were shown by the re-
port In the loading OF all classes Of
commodities. the principal decreases
being in coal and merchandise and
miscellaneous freight which includes
manufactured products.

GENERAL ASPHALT SELLING.
A reverse English tip was circulated
at the market opening yesterday that
General Asphslt was to be pushed to
a higher level Those who had taken
notice Of the quiet selling in the issue
last week were not fooled. however.
when the stock broke sharply.
Sales of General Asphalt have been
made by prominent operators who
realize conditions In the oil industry.
With oil prices going lower daily
asphalt and other companies will un-
doubtedly show less profits than last
year. This takes away the material
which the Asphalt pool has been
working on.
A comparison OF the company with
other oil issues forces the conclusion
that II is selling out OF line. The
trouble with many OF the oil stocks
is that the leaders of the industry
while believing that resdjustment was
necessary, did not believe that II
would affect the oil industry in any
way.

SINCLAIR OIL POSITION.

Considerable selling developed In

These interests were connected with

below the subscription price. They

NEW BULLETIN
 JUST RECEIVED
 FOREST OFFICE

A small supply of Bulletin No. $50, issued June l5 by the United States department of agriculture. has just been received by the local forest of flee for distribution to interested parties. The bulletin was prepared to aid those who wish information on the timber and other resources of the national forests of Alaska, to indi- cate the capital and organization ne cessary for the development of Alas kan pulp and paper mills, to show what data on the timber resources of that region have been and are being collected by the forest service, and to outline the conditions of purchase of timber from the national forests.
 The bulletin deals principally with conditions in southeastern Alaska. but contains much general informa- tion on the pulp and paper situation which is applicable to any part of the territory
 The bulletin points out that the national forests of Alaska contain probably 1OO,OOO,OOO cords of timber suitable for the manufacture of news print and other grades of paper and that under proper management these forests can produce 2o0o,o0O cords Of pulpwood annually for all time. or enough To manufacture onothird of the pulp products now consumed by the United States. According to the best estimates available. 'hn national forests of Alaska contain watcrpowor resources having potential horse power of not less than a quarter of a million the second essential of the paper manufacturing industry.
 The value to Alaska of a pulp and paper industry can scarcely be oyer. stated. By creating a demand for labor fl will build up the population; by creating a market for farm crops it will stimulate agricultural deyel opment: and it will improcc trans purtation facilities and benefit all kinds of business.
 The time seems to be ripe for the extensive exploitation of Alaskan pulpwood. The successful operation of pulp and paper mills in British Columbia. which has practically simi- lar timber and power resources and comparable transportation facilities, removes the speculative element from the proposed development.
 Ten years ago the United States produced it's entire supply of news print. In 1919 two-thirds of it was imported, mostly from Canada. All indications point to continuance of the demand at prices which should make possible profitable operations in Alaska.
 The pulp industry demands an as sured permanent supply of raw ma teral and q proper allocation of water power under stable tenure, both of which requisites are found iu the national forests of Alaska. It is the policy of the government to sell pulpwood with such provisions for future supply as will assure the permanence of the industry.

SUCCESS Of the two writers is the same.
They picture Frenchmen and Americans, not
as they actually are, but as they like to fancy
themselves. There never were Frenchmen like
those described by Dumas but there are millions
of them who imagine themselves the heroes Of
Dumas romances.
That IS why the French. though by nature an
industrious, frugal and good natured people, have
pretexts than any other people that ever lived

MISERABLE EXHIBITION
OF ENVY AND JEALOUSY

Tampa Times)
The disgraceful treatment accorded DR.. Adolph
Lorenz, the eminent Austrian by certain envous
medical men of this country, should bring the
blush of shame to the cheek of every right
thinking American. DR.. Lorenz does not come
here as an enemy. He does not come here as
so many foreigners do to reap harvest of Amer
lean dollars by the exercise of his wonderful
skill in healing. He comes as an angel of mercy.
in an effort to make in some way as best he can
an adequate return for the charity of America,
which has saved thousands of Austrian children
from the horrors of starvation. His action was
dictated by OF, the noblest impulses that stir
the human heart that of gratitude. He makes
no charge for his services, but gives them freely
to the MANNED, the halt and the blind and they
flock to his clinics in crowds. Perhaps if he
charged exorbitant fees for his services, making
them possible only to the very rich, the surgeons
who are now criticising him so severely might
treat him more justly. If so, it is miserable
and sordid exhibition of malice and envy. So
malicious the envy by which he was pur-
sued that he decided to close up his great work,
and return to Austria But so loud-voced and
unanimous was the protest that he finally changed
his mind and announced that he would stay and
continue his work IF they didn't throw him out"
One of the chief protestants was Health Commits
sioner Copeland, of New York. who said to him:
I'VE have in America type of citizen call
damn FOOLS Don't be disturbed by them. What
you have done here this morning makes it worth
while for you to have come to this country.
Don't be disturbed; go with your work.
THAT voices the real sentiment of America,
rather than the protests of a group of envious
and jealous medical men, who would see America
suffer forever, before they would consent to lose
their exorbtant fees.
