view to eliminating unnecessary va.
rieties is offered to industries by the
Fabricated Production Department
of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States. This service will con.

ments of manufacturers who have
tried it out, are given as follows.
Easier financing and less capital
tied up in raw semi-finished and
finished materials, unnecessary eouin-
ment and extra storage floor snaea
More economical manufacture on
account of longer production runs
with fewer charges; increased ind;-
vidual production; less idle eouin-
ment: reduced clerical and cost ar
counting overhead.
More efficient labor, through
greater stability and permanence of
employment, because of the Increase
In skill due to repetitive processes
IN longer runs, and consequently in
creased earnings.
Better service to the trade
through lettering the quality of
product; prompter deliveries and in
creased efficiency in packing for
shipment
More efficient selling forces.

Railroad Brings Lower Living
Costs to Interior, Says
Fairbanks Man.

Prospects fer the interior are
brighter now than for years, accord
ing to II. Claude Kelly, former
Clerk of the U. S. District Court al
ketchikan, who with Mrs. Kelly are
passengers aboard the Victoria en-
route to Tacoma to visit relatives
Mr.. Kelly said that he would prob
ably return to the interior early this
summer.
The completion Of the railroad to
the Tanana River and its connection
there with the Fairbanks division
making possible freight shipments
from outside markets to Fairbanks
at all times at greatly reduced rates
has had marked effect on the
prices CT many commodities, declared
Mr. Kelly. Some of them were vir
tually cut in two and living in Fair
banks today is cheaper than for
years. There is every indication, he
said, that every industry in the in
terror VIII show much improvem en-
next season.
Lathrop Buys Theaters
iiHdL the luLuIc Vi lll6 UASitl Itl uOl
only appears bright to the residents
OF Fairbanks but also to newcomers.
Mr. Kelly said, is indicated by the
recent investments made there by
Capt. A. E. Lathrop, we'll known
coast motion picture proprietor Cap
tain I.athrop, he added, has purchas-
ed two movie" businesses in Fair
banks. one from A. r. Thorne, vet
eran Snowman of the interior and q
new house started last fan by other
Interests Captain Lathrop will con-
solidate the houses.
The Cordova man is also negotiat-
ing for the purchase of one of the
oest business corners in Fairbanks,
said Mr.. Kelly. This corner, at the
junction OF Cushman and Front
Streets, was formerly occupied by
he Fairbanks Corner Buffet and the
famous Tanana Club. These build
ings were destroyed by fire in the
winter of 1918 and no new struc-
lures were erected. Ii he obtains
the corner, 1t is understood that Cap
tain Lathrop plans to erect mol
ern building to house an upto-date
hotel plant and show house sim
liar to those whoch he owns in both
Cordova and Anchorage.
Political Pot Brewing
There is considerable activity pre-
vailing in the Third Division, ac-
cording to Mr.. Kelly, but in Fair
banks it was less noticeable. At the
time Mr.. Kelly left there there had
been no filings for the coming pri-
maries.
From what he was able to gamer
from conversations with various peo-
pie, both Republicans and Democrats,
and from his knowledge OF conditions
in the Fourth Division, he was in
clined to believe that Delegate Suth-
erland faces a stiff fight for the re-
nomination and an even harder fight
in the election provided the Demo-
Gratis put up a strong candldate.
There is a strong sentiment prevail
ing in both the Third and Fourth Di-
visions, he declared, for Judge
Charles f. Bunnell to make the race.
In his opinion, he added, there Is no
likelihood that Judge BunneH VIII en-
ter as he is now hard at work in an
effort TO launch the Alaska Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College and has
no intention of going into the politl-
cal arena as a candidate for any
office,
Mr.. and Mrs. Kelly visited with To-
cal friends while the Victoria was
in port.

Score in QuakertoWn.

nHILADELPHIA, Pa, Nov. 25.
The Drexel Institute foot
ball team played its last game
of the season today and went
down to defeat at the hands Of
G8llaudet College of Washington
by the score Of 10 to- o.
The West Philadelphians never
had q chance with the mutes
throughout the battle. The fur
therest they ever got was the 15-
yard line. When Drexel did have
the ball, and was on the march
toward Gallaudet's goal line, the
players would either tumble the
ball or were held for downs.
GaIlaudet started the scoring in
the initial quarter. when La Foun.
taine dropkicked from the ls-yard
line for a field goal. The Southern
college started their attack with for
ward passes and end running.
After Drexel started the game
with a kick, the mutes carried the
pigskin into Drexel territory and
held it there throughout the first
half. On the first play Langenberg
made a rushing attack and got to
Drexel's 30-yard line.
Seipp helped with his line buck
ing, and on successive plunges
through center gained fifteen yards.
Then La Fountaine kicked his goal.
The mutes then came back strong
in the final period, scoring seven
points. On two plays they brought
the ball back to Drexel's 2o-yard
line.
On the last down. Wallace tried
for a placement goal. but failed BY
a slight margin. Shuman, Drexers
left halfback, made an end run.
gaining fifteen yards. On the next
play the Institute. fumbled and Lu-
cado recovered it on the formers
35-yard line.
The ball was not long held by
Gallaudet, as the Washington men
lost 1t on the next play when one
of their men fumbled.
The pigskin was soon returned,
as Weinberger made a pass to
Shuman which travelled a distance
Of twenty yards, and lost the ball
when Lucado intercepted the pass
and brought the play to Drexers
20-yard line.
Wallace, on a right end run for
fifteen yards and several off-tachle
plays. made II possible for the
mutes to establish themselves on
Drexers 7-yard line. Langenberg
scored the touchdown when he
plowed his way through his oppo-
nents' defense. Seipp counted
with the extra point on q drop
kick.

Carol being the chief offender. After

Carol broke the quickest of all

the half-mile pole was reached, Carol
was a length and one-half out in

Before Federal Court
Salt Lake City Judge Hearing
Injunction Arguments In
st. Paul.

st. Paul, April 24.-Arguments
were heard here To-Day by Federal
Judge 1iilman ID. johnson OF SAT-
Lake City on the application or
Iron mining companies operating
in this state for a permanent In
junction TO restrain collection OF the
Minnesota occupational tax on iron
ore.
A temporary restraining order
was Issued in federal court in Duluth
last January. Contending that this
order should be made permanent,
counsel for the mining companies
declare the tax law is in violation
OF the constitutions both OF the
United States and the state OF Min
nesota.
The mining companies today
sought to show that the extraction
OF iron ore is a continuous process
in interstate commerce and tax
on the ore is a burden on interstate
commerce, in violation OF amend
ment fourteen Of the federal con-
stitution. b..
1t was further commended that
the tax is a discrimination against
iron mining companies and is not
levied uniformly, which, the mining
companies declare, is violation
of the state constitution.
The occupational tax Jaw was
passed by the 1921 legislature and
provides for a six per cent tax on
iron ore mined after all costs are
deducted. The law was enacted
after agitation for legislation along
that line, extending back to 1881.
when the first tonnage tax" law
was passed. .r
