number who have believed it for sev- eral years.
 "Confirming that belief, I have late ly come into possession, in an honor able and legitimate way, of verified secret contract, dated March 10, 1922, entered into between Col. Mears and the Alaska Steamship Company, own ed by the an-Guggenheims. It covers the subject of joint through rates by steamer and railroad, but is not in itself complete. It is a secret contract on the side, which to be fully understood has to be analysed in con- nection with the regular tariff govern ing through rates.
 "One clause of this remarkable se- cret contract provides:
 It is understood that the Alas
 ka Engineering Commission and the
 (Alaska) Steamship Company, par
 ties to the through rates, will treat all ulNlSlOu dSISeuueulS as COullueu-
 tial and promulgate the information
 to interested employees only
 Briefly, this secret contract, talk en in connection with another gener- al tariff agreement of same date, is proof conclusive that Col. Mears was working in secret agreement with the Morgan -Guggenheim interests in the management and policies that con trolled the Alaska railroad, owned by the people of the United States.
 T will comment no more here or this remarkable secret document fur ther than to say that it holds elements of far reaching interest to the people of the United States in the future. | furnishes the key to many other relat ed subjects in Alaskan affairs.

myself among them, who said the amount was insufficient. Congress granted it with misgivings.
 "That made a total of $56,000,000 plus several millions worth of Panama equipment, for '467 miles of uncom- pleted main line from Seward to Fair banks, 3S mile branch to the Mata- nuska coal fields, 45 mile narrow guage tram from Fairbanks to Chata- nika, and a mile spur to the Healy coal district
 Tn the fall of 1922 he made request for yet another $3,S00,000, after all his repeated pledges. The gathering storm broke at last Congress granted only $1,2O0,000 to meet deficits in op- eration and $6O0,000 remaining from | the last $4,000,000. Col. Mears was peremptorily removed in the spring of 1923, and Col. James c. Steese of the Corpse of Engineers of the Army was appoitned his successor.
 Tt is now well known that s15,O0O,- 900 on top of the $56OO0,OO0 spent will be needed to complete the present mileage of the Alaska Railroad in , workable condition. There not only is a great deal of new construction work yet to be done, but large amount of Col. Mears' work has to be undone and reconstructed. His inland termi- nal at Anchorage, built at cost of millions of dollars, is one sample, made so by the rapid sitting up of Knik Arm and of Cook Inlet for 75 miles out. The Nenana Canyon loca- tion is another. The road there has to be relocated on the shelf above it. where the Alaska Central survey ran Again and again I undertook to have the leaks stopped by appealing to the Secretary of the Interior and to Senators and Representatives as well as to residents in towns along the rail road Repeatedly 1 pointed out to them the damaging consequences to the Alaska railroad when the blowup did come, as come it must, on that inevi table day of awakening to the fact that many milliOns-some put il as high as $25,000, 0,000,-had been reck, lessly and needlessly squandered, by bad management and otherwise, which had better be put into feeders to min ing and agricultural districts. ] urged just as insistently that development Y work should be carried on simultane onsly with the building of the railroad to make it useful profitable and cred itable after completion. But a combi nation of mutual interests was ever on guard to defend the saturnalia Some of them were profiting by it. others were anxious that it should go on as a discredit to Government own. ership of railroads With representa- tives of some of them in high official station, they were too well intrenched to dislodge at the time.
 That inevitable blow-up has come What the consequences will be, no man can tell. But all friends of the Alaska railroad and well-wishers of Alaska recognize that heroic treat ment must be applied.
 Tt has been widely believed that the mismanagement, excessive cost, and lack of tonnage development, in con. nection with the building of the Alas ka railroad have been due in large part to secret and hostile influences that were bent on making it a 'hor- rible example, of Government owner ship of railroads. I am among the

T have worked earnestly and indus
 triously since construction was start ed on the Alaska railroad to have it apply policy of development that would provide traffic and bring people in, opening new fields of opportuni- ties for the fast increasing population of the United States and making of it an agency of service and usefulness.
Seward daily gateway., 1923-08-07

Secret and hostile influences have op- posed such policies constantly, and. so far, effectively. But constructive development policies will prevail in the end, when an open and honest de- termination takes hold, and the Alas ka railroad will prove a wise and prof itable investment to the people of the United States"

In preparation, add two tablespoon
fuls of bran for each person when the
cereal is cooked. You'll like it with
hot milk! Kellogg's Bran makes
wonderful cookies, raisin bread, PAN
cakes, etc. Recipes on every package.
To win permanent relief it is only
necessary to eat Kellogg's Bran regu-
larly and to be certain to eat at least
two tablespoonfuls each day; in
chronic cases, with each meal.
The relief Kellogg's Bran gives,
as natural bowel agent, is wonder
full. Without the slightest distress it
sweeps, cleans and puriies, ridding
the system of toxic poisons and
warding off some of the most terri
flying diseases to which human beings
are heir.
Don't delay this natural relief;
give your family the benefit of this
message of health-this great bless

is served in individual packages
by leading hotels and clubs. Ask for
it at your restaurant. All grocers.

Kellogg's Bran has won national

that she will fail 10 take definite ac-
ti"n. and the whole body Of the clergy

But the point to he kept clearly in

1orrnal action against denial of her
faith unless the denial is expressed in
words that are clear and unevasive
and are acknowledged by their au-
