endar year 1921, how in the name of all that is sensible and sane can the Alaskan Engineering commis- sion in 1922, or '23, or '24 turn that figure into 25,OOO tons.
 The total as given above ts for the entire American river, where the White Pass & Yukon boats operated last year. Even a congressman with limited knowledge of the great length of the Yukon in Alaska must know that 1t would be absolutely impossible for this new railroad to divert anything from Yukon river, either above or below the Panama, that is, of course, unless they spend a few millions tOlpHt on raome river boats. But this is entirely aside from the question.
 There are only certain points which can be termed as tributary to the terminus of the railroad al Fair banks. These points are 9Tanana, Fairbanks and Intermediate Panama river points. What did thuse points produce in tonnage during the year 1921? Panama had .4O4 tons, Eair- banks had .475 tons and all other Panama river points had s97 tons, or a total of 2,S75 tons. The Alaskan Engineering commissions own ton mage is not included. Now the White Pass & Yukon has withdrawn from the Panama river and 1t fol- lows that the Alaskan Engineering commission can. and will. divert this tonnage to it's line, but instead of 25.OOO tons We have but 2,S75 tons. They figure in their report earnings of the 25.0OO tons at an average of $2O per ton or $5OO.OOO. But the correct figures which are here pre- scented to congress, and assuming that there will be 2.S75 tons divert ed at the same average of S20 per ton. will give earnings to the rail road of but $57,5LO. Quite e diff ference from the -statsme ent that this movement will give them an add tional $500,O0O. They cannot touch the Lower Yukon-Ruby to St. Nil chaels, nor Idiiarod, nor -KoyuEpk. nor the upper river from Eagle 10 Rampant. Then the tonnage from the railroad itself last yesr-Rmount- ed to 1880 tons and eside from that it should be remembered that large amount of these 0fnclal hg- ures, as above, represent tonnage created by the railroad. In other words the people of that section last year were largely living oN the railroad and the minute Construc- ton ceases they will move out, all of which goes on to prove that the moment construction crews are dis pensed with they cannot hope to have a rail tonnage equal to the 1921 total, even if 1t could be pos sible for them to divert every ton of the Panama river freight
 We have given them the very. best of the comparison when in truth, -ss every river man knows. the White Pass & Yukon will still be able to hold its own at Panama, as 1t will stop at that point on It's way up or down river.
 Now let us take the passenger business they are going to divert from these two routes, St. Michael and Skagway. a total passenger rev. enue estimated at 5000 passengers at an average fare of $SO, ora to- tai of $IOO.OO0. No words in the dictionary are adequate to explain to congress the enormity of this per yerted statement, for 1t is nothing less than that. The official report of all routes on the American Yukon for the year 1921 shows:

The above figures do not lhcluue estimates for any large coal move ment. such as heavy shipments by navy from Matanusak coal fields to tidewater.
 Tt Is probably safe to predict that in the very near future there will be available for shipment over the rail road approximately 15O.0OO tons of coal per year, whish at a rate of $I.2O per ton would produce an ad- dftional revenue of S1SO,OOO. mak- ing a grand total os something over $I.OOO.OOO per year"
 Thus it can be seen that the state ments are credited to the Alaskan engineering commission, As this is the most remarkable document we have vet read. emauating from that body. it IS worthy of particular at teutiou at this time, chiefly because 1t was evidently prepared knowing ly with the sole purpose of foOline congress. IL is so glaTiug that 1t becomes almost pitilul In an effort to bolster up the possible earnings the commission las reached into thin air and picked up thousands of tons of freight and thousands of passengers which do not exist and can only exist in some future year when a great big surface bonanza or gold mine boom shall have startled the Panama valley into re- newed activity. Aside from dishcn- esty and disloyalty of purpose those responsible for making such a re- port are guilty of the most unethical action imaginable. but it is such things as these that have made the Alaskan Engineering commission odiOus in the eyes of many Alaskans.
 It will be noticed that in estimat- ing the traffic of the future that this commission has the nerve to state. that anticipated freight and pas senger business probably to be di- verted from the St. Michael and Skagway routes" This figures up' to the tidy sum of $65O,OOO which the authors of this report. whoever they may be, propose 10 develop from a line that has been operating for decades but whose "divertahle" traffic does not read such fgures. This is a deliberate attempt to fool every dignifed member of congress and such members are entitled to have the facts. It is stated that they are going to divert this busi- ness from the White Pass < Yukon Route. Let us take up the freight revenue which the commission claims as 25.OOO tons. For the year 1921, the entire total tonnage moved to and from all Alaska points on the American" Yukon and its tributaries via Skagway or St. Mi. chael. was but 7,O23. distributed as follows:
