naces of the Ruhr vas equal to the output of France for an entire year.

naces of the Ruhr vas equal to the output of France for an entire year.
 Colossal establishments, comparable only to the great steel cities of Amer ica, control the activity of the indus trial heart of Germany. The vast Ha- niel plant, for instance, employs over 50. 900 workmen and maintains rail- way system of l15 miles of standard gauge track and 31 yard engines. Over one hundred river tugs fly the flag of the Haniel concern-quite a. respect able merchant marine. The neighbor- ing Phoenix works operate on simi- lar scale with 42.0O0 workers, eighty miles of standard gaugese tracks: and A miles of narrow gauge, and 93 To- comotives.
 These are only the most notable pair of factors in the gigantic indus trial organization taken by France as security on the promised war repara- tions. The Ruhr valley Is crowded with mills, mines and factories of scarcely less imposing magnitude.
 Whether France will be able to re- alize on the unimagined wealsh o Germany's industrial treasure house in a question for soldiers, engineers m economists to answer. What seems perfectly clear, however, is that Ger many cannot get very far in the pro- cess of reconstruction so long as the door to her national vault is barred by French bayonets. We have heard more than once the query. Did France really get anything when she took the Ruhr?" Without examining into the politicaI" potentialities of her act or Jthe ethics involved. we'll say she cer- tainly did. The figures show it. But .news, dispatches do not say whether ,the industrial elephant she captured is white or not

The Gateway wants to be sure the proposed tax on salmon and apparatus will not hurt the small home canner- ies before taking issue for or against the proposition. One thing is certain, the Territory must have more reye- nues. and unless this revenue comes from outside firms doing business in Alaska, it must come from those re- siding here. Taxes already are near ly prohibitive. Some way must be found to lessen them.

FACTS ABOUT THE RuhR.
From Popular Magazine.

Over and above the avowed reason for the French occupation of the great German industrial district in the RuhI yalley-to wit, the foreclosure oi the French mortgage on her enemy s note for war damages-all sorts of ul- terior motives have been ascribed by the wiseacres of international politics. For ourserves we are content to let the wiseacres wrangle and hazard bad guesses.
 What interests us about the Ruhr is the Ruhr For long time We have been wondering what made the Ruhr so desirable We sought facts, not erRsive formulae At last we found what We sought. The prosaic figures that follow, are to our notion. far better description of what France got when she took the Ruhr than any i'm posing array of ghttering generalities They are taken from a recent address by Senator Lucien Hubert in the Up per House of the French chamber.
 The exploited portion of the Ruhr is veritable rabbit warren of human ity. It is barely twelve hundred miles in extent and within this restricted area no less than four million work CTS and their families dwell, largely 1T cities and agglomerations ranging 1T population from two hundred thousand to half a million souls. <.'"
 The Ruhr ports of Duisburg and Ru hrort, on the Rhine, do a shipping bus mess greater than the total that i: handled throughout France. In nor nal times the overland freight traffic in and out of the Ruhr demand: 21,000 cars of the European ten-to1 type daily.
 h 1921 the coal production of th' f2uhr mines amounted to 166,000 ton: daily. In 1913 the Ruhr's output of coa for the year reached 113,000,000 tons and it has fallen off only slighsl. since the war, averaging in recen gears 1oo,0OO,oo0 tons yearly, whil' the output of all the rest of German. is but 20,0o0,000 tons.

B|C INTERESTS REACH
 OUT FOR OIL FIELDS
Seattle Alaska Dispatch)

Vigorous protest over the attempt of A. s. Kerry to halt efforts of oil claim permit holders to raise money is voiced by Jack Lee, pioneer of the Cold Bay district, and owner of sev- eral permits.
 Lee protests that an attempt is be- ing made to gobble the Cold Bay field saying he was going to attend cham Der of commerce meeting, and show where Kerry is syndicating Alaska oil land locations on large scale, while at the same time he is aenouncinS smaller operations in Seattle pape.S.
 The Seattle Chamber of Commerce is getting in wrong with Alaskans in it's effort to get the oil refiineries at Se- attle. It is believed with California oil companies fighting desperately to control the Cold Bay field it will result in oil being refined at some port in California, unless local sentiment is strong enough to force these compa- nies to refine at Kanatak. Seward or some other Alaska port.
 The Dispatch knows men in Seat tie, heads of big and substantial cor porations, who have put private funds into oil land permits with Alaskans, and who know that an effort is being made to force the Cold Bay holdings into the hands of the big interests, partly through newspaper publicity, aimed to keep these small syndicates from raising money to drill holdings.
 A. s. Kerry, as agent for company turning holdings over to Big Interests is said to be exercising a great iit1u, ence over the press of Seattle. Iris effort is not fair to those who have secured oil claim permits a, Coli Bay, and who are seeking money io gro tect holdings.
