 In view of possible interruption of traffic during the spring thaW. the Alaska Railroad authorities are taking time by the forelock, So to. speak, and are making every effort to rush consignments destined for the Interior as quickly es possible, Interior shipments are being given the preference in the matter Of handling at the coast terminals and several fore freight trains probably will arrive with the next few days so that merchants of the Interior towns who have placed their orders on time, will have supplies to carry them in case of an interruption.
 Men have been stationed at points along the line where the thaw may effect the service, and a close watch is being maintained in order that remedial measures can be taken at the first sign of trouble. In fact, every precaution is being taken by the railroad officials to insure con tinuous. operation of trains over the entire system.

Nj. A. Trepte, who is interested with John Franey, in a hydraulic proposition in the Totatlanika dis arrived in town last night on brief business visit and leave on the re- turn trip to his camp tomorrow, go- ing by way of the river trail which takes of from the Alaska Railroad at Nenana Crossing. Trepte and his partner have been working several years to get their proposition in shape for work and will be ready to begin operation with their giants as soon as water runs. They will have a plentiful water supply for present needs, which they will lead to their property by means of ditch. hose and pipe. They have about a thousand feet of pipe, which they shipped in over the railroad during the winter. Like others in that sec tion of the country, Mir. Trepte de- ares that the district has been and s still being held back because of the lack of wagon roads. This not only makes freighting costly, but necessitates the shipment of all SUD- plies during the winter. This means that a miner must buy years supplies at one time.

TAKES FIRST STEP IN
THIRTY-NINE YEARS
+. c. Birge, Vermont Farmer Relieved
of Effects of Infantile
Paralysis.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.,-Thirty-nine
years ago yesterday, Freddie" Birge. n
13-year-Old boy on a Vermont farm, was
stricken with a malady the family doc
tor couldn't diagnose.
Yesterday on the roof of the Ruptured
and Crippled hospital, in the middle of
the crowds of crippled boys in wheel
chairs, Frederick &. Birge, man of -.
took the first trembling steps he has
taken since that day almost two-score
years ago.
The malady which had attacked Birge
was infantile paralysis, then not so well
known as now. 1t left him with legs
bent at the knees, in such a way that
movement was impossible. lie never
went again to the swimmin' hole, bur
when the time came. he took charge of
the 60-acre farm, and since then has
conducted it from a wheelchair, support
ing himself and his sister.
In December, DR.. Armitage Whitman,
an orthopedic specialist divided the mus

and then placed them in a plaster cast
The cast was removed yesterday, and

feet by attendants, gripped his crutches
and slowly put one foot in front of the

great broad grin as he sat down.
Now it's up to me- he said
DIR. Virgil Z. Digby of the hospital
announced that experts whose attention

MAKING GAS WITH COKE.
CONTINUED from Page u

of The RefOrmer today, William II.
Richardson, manager of the Twin State
Gas & Electric Co, said that his com
pany had been making gas from coke
here the past two weeks. lie said that
at the time the coal strike was called the
company's bins at the gas plant were
hlled with anthracite COAL but the sup
ply that he has since been able to secure
has not counterbalanced the amount that
has been necessary to use to take care
OF Brattleboros gas requirements. The
last two cars of hard coal received were
in July, and while orders have been sent
in for more coal, none is to be had on ac-
count of the situation at the hard coal
fields
Manager Richardson has three weeks
supply of anthracite coal. however
which he Is retaining for an emergency
He is able to secure all the coke that he
requires and anticipates no shortage in
this commodity during the coming
months. As long as coke can be OBJ
tanned, people need not worry about gas
as the quality is the same regardless of
whether the gas Is made from hard coal
or coke. The only difference is in the
buying price and the time required I'm
making the gas.
The present cost of coke is S16.79 n
ton against S13.29 a ton for hard coal.
it takes ordinarily two cars of hard coal
month or about % tons to take care
of Brattleboro's gas supply. The use of
coke necessitates the operation of the gas
plant 16 hours n day against II or IL
hours when hard coal is used
Manager Richardson now has two
cars of coke on the way, which
will insure a continuation of the gas
supply another 60 days. In the mean
time he will keep a careful watch over
the situation so that he will continue to
receive further supplies of coke, and rs
coke is a by-product formed in the man
ufacture of coal gas and can be obtained
from foundries and other manufacturing
plants. now in full operation no short
age of this commodity is feared at this

CONGRESS MUST

Secretary Hoover Says Coal Operators
Are Breaking Away from Fair
Price Agreements.

WASHINGTON Aug. 16.-Congress
viii be called upon for legal weapons to
arm the government for war against coal
prOtlteerS, 1t was announced yesterday
by the high administration officials. Leg
islation Will be required, it was declared,
to assure price control and equitable dis
tribution of fuel, even in the event OF a
settlement of the whole national coal
controversy.
Coal operators, Secretary Hoover
stated, were breaking away from the vol
untary fair price agreements, except in
some districts in Virginia and West Vir-
ginia, and congress, he declared, must
act to check advancing charges and at
the same time authorize the continuance
of the federal distribution machinery
now functioning by volunteer services
which could not continue indefinitely.
Hoover indicated that about a week s
study of the situation and the effect of
the Cleveland agreement on production.
would be required before the necessary
legislation could be framed. Attorney
General Daugherry declared that several
plans were already under consideration
to combat coal profiteers, and that care
full study would be given to the proposed
legislation.
Continuance of the federal distribution
machinery would be necessary, Hoover
asserted, especially to meet the anthra-
cite situation and provide for the re-
fore winter sets in. As soon as anthra-
cite was available, he declared, distribu-
ton of hard coal would be supervised by
the federal organization along the lines
now in practice for the movement of BIZ
luminous.
Price control by means of preferential
ALLEGATION of coal cars was only possible
according to Federal Fuel Distributor
Spencer, in districts where there was less
than 100 per cent car supply Where
there were plenty of cars, he asserted,
operators could obtain transportation at
whatever prices they might charge for
coal despite the federal emergency or
ganization.
Competitive bidding by railroads and
public utilities for fuel, according to re-
ports to the central committee, has dis
turbed the agreed price levels and the
carriers were asked yesterday by Spen-
Ger to make no offers for coal at prices
above the Hoover levels.
