recorded its support Of a movement to
abolish differentials affecting New
England, and also of the made IN
New England" campaign now being
carried on. A further resolution eX-
pressed opposition to the action of the
navy department in closing the naval
training station at Newport, Il. |.
1t is unfair to the people Of New
England to be burdened with the en-
tire cost of the St. Lawrence water
way project on the pretext that there
by they will obtain cheap power, Con
gresham Dempsey Of New York de-
Eclared. replying to Senator Ransdell.
The waterways of the United States,
s1r. Dempsey said. needed all the
money the government could afford 10
spend on rivers and harbors. These
Waterways, he argued, could handle
The freight Of the country more eco
romically and expeditiously than
could the st. Lawrence, at the same
time developing the country in peace
and protecting it in war.
Pointing out that the report of the
International Waterways Commission
said that the type of vessel to use the
st. Lawrence route would be the 'av-
eraged sized tramp" Mr.. Dempsey
questioned the wisdom of expanding
from s2Io 100000 to a billion and a
half for the use Of a waterway hy
tramp ships Power development on
the st. Lawrence might we'll be done
row: navigation could wait, he de-
clared.
1T must be remembered. he SAID,
that on the st. Lawrence private cap
ital is ready 10 develop poN.T. why
should New England wait for II until
the governments of the two countries
are in financial condition to develop It:
Why should New England users OF
mower wait until Canadian sentiment
for the Improvement of the st. Law
renee ceases TO be hostile and becomes
rriondIvc 1t is clear that the power
users of New England should not be
added with tho cost Of the navigation
development They should bear on the
reasonable cost Of developing the
power.
"Let us least charge the water pow
or only with the cost of its own de"el-
opment and give New England ana
New York the benefit of their locations
near ,his wator power and rot charge
TO them TIE entire cost of this naViga-

EXPRESS OFFICES BE ESTABLISHED
 ALONG RAILROAD
American Railway Express Co. Will Place Agencies
 on Government K. K.

The American Railway Express Company will open offices from Sew ard to Chatanika on the Government Railroad the first part of May of this ye-r. This is according to statement made today by C. s. Crider, travelling auditor for the company, who is in Juneau at the present time on trip of inspection.
 Agencies will be opened at rail road agencies already established at Seward, Anchorage, Nenana and Fair banks" said MT CTtder. "The new offices will be at Girdwood, Matanus- ka, Chickaloon, Wasilla, Curry, Me Kinley Park and Healy. The con tracts and tariffs will be effective the first part of May and the offices will probably be opened at an earlier date
 Rates will be in effect the entire 12 months of the year, showing a substantial reduction, especially as to winter movements of express which will be a reduction of one-fifth of rates heretofore applying about seven months in the year. Rates in sum- mer and winter will be the same. Rates effective over the railroad dur ing the summer months will also be a reduction over the old river rates.
 Regular messenger service and bonded men will be used by the eX- press company in handling all com modities."
 MT Crider will leave on the first available Westward boat to complete the necessary arrangements for the contemplated changes and additions to the service.
 Superintendent E. A. Muncey, with headquarters at Seattle, contem- plates a trip of inspection covering Alaska and Yukon offices; in the early summer, MT. Crider said. MT. Muncey will meet MT. Crider on the coast and with him will visit all the offices on the railroad and coast.
