NO SHORTAGE THIS YEAR
Union Pacific Has 3 GU u Enough
New Cars TO Handle Traffic
and Stop Shortage


-The railroads OF the United States
this year carried the greatest volume
OF business in history without car
shortage declared Carl P Gray
President of the Union Pacific Sys-
TEN in his monthly statement for De
cembsr entitled And The Cars Came"
reprinted elsewhere in the Journal
Heretofore says SIr- Gray. there
has been a widespread car shortage
during each fall harvest. Last year
II was 100000 cars. but this year
there is generally a surplus through
out the country and especially OF box
cars in the west and northwest"
As though anticipating the infer
ence that these extraordinary expen-
ditures are being met out Of current
earnings. the statement says that this
81. 1.100. .Oo0, 900 being spent for additions
and betterments is almost entirely
rev or borrowed money and that the
expenditure Is predlcdte0 Oh t-S IL
herent faith in the American people
and their desire for fair play. Even
this YEAR saws Mr.. Gray, -it is un-
likely. Notwithstanding the record IN

will earn SIS percent on their valua-
ton which the law and the Inter-
state Commerce Commission permit
but which is not guaranteed because
IL they do not earn it they do not

Dear Mr.. Platz:
1t is over a month that Mrs. Crosse
and myself left Shoshone and we are
getting along fairly well. Mrs. Crosse
who was operated on for goitre, was
discharged from the hospital yester-
day Must remain here under the
doctors care another two weeks. We
have been receiving the Journal every
week since we left and surely enjoy
it. It helps over the lonesome spells.
We have met quite few people that
used to live in Shoshone and CT course
they wanted to read the Journal.
They liked the many local and news
items, but were surprised at the small
amount of advertising which created
the impression that Shoshone was 60
ing backward. We have been stop
ping off in small and larger towns
and could not help to notice the clean
and neat condition, no weeds in the
stree+s or sidewalks nor vacant lots.
But I suppose that is something for
the home city council and Study club
To ponder over. You know I am get
ting home sick. I like to see the
folks and talk politics TO my friends,
although President Coolidge has not
sent his message to congress, 1 pre-
dict it will be a good one. Also he
will he the choice for president on
the republican ticket and will be cleo
ted. Senator Johnson of California
will not be nominated because all he
stands for is 'T want to be president
Some are talking about how strong
a man Mr.. Ford is. He is strong Win
money. that's all; he has no national
nor international training for the I'M
portant office and cannot be even con-
s,dered Mr.. McAdoo will be nomi-
mated on the democratic ticket pue ne
&c NOT a safe man. When We look
hack to the many concessions he mace
to many organizations while ne was
director-general of railroads fro IN
which the nation is suffering this
very date. All good Americans VIII
take this into consideration and when
thev go to the polls will say FIRST
comes my country''-and then vote
accordingly.
We have accepted an invitation TO
the dedication OF Shriners hospi'Si
which will take place a week from
today. It is a splendid building
Hone that all Of you are We'll Win
kindest regards.

FATHER KASHEVARoFF IS
 HERE TO TALK ON NORTH

Father Kashevaroff secretary of the Alaska Historical Society and curator of the Alaska Museum at Juneau, who is visiting the various Alaska towns featuring on early Alaska history, arrived from the coast this morning and left for Fairbanks this afternoon, where he will address the people of the upper town on Thursday at the Empress theatre.
 Father Kashevaroff, in his capa- city of spiritual adviser had the opportunity of witnessing the pro- gress of Alaska from days of most primitive conditions to the present time, and he is gifted with the ability to recount his experiences in a most interesting manner. He comes to the Interior from Anch- orage, where he lectured under the auspices of the Parent Teachers association, receiving a most en- thusiastic reception.
 The distinguished visitor was a caller at Franklin K Lane school this morning and gave a short talk there to the pupils. He would like an opportunity to address the grown-ups of this city on his re- turn from Fairbanks on Friday, and an effort will be made to ar range for lecture during the af- ternoon.

MASONS BUSY PREPARING
 FOR BIG BALL THURSDAY

The various committees in charge of the arrangements for the annual ball to be given on Thursday night by the Nenana Masonic Club in honor of Washington's Birthday, are busily engaged this week in working out the final details of the big affair, and there is reason to believe the dance will be one of the most brilliant and enjoyable ever held in Nenana. Many invita- tions have been issued and it is believed there will be an unusually large number of dancers in atten- dance.
 The committee in charge has re- quested The News to announce that all Masons, both residents and vi- sitors are invited to attend the dance. They do not need regular invitations their cards being suffi- cient in the way of credentials. Others who have received invita- tions are reminded to bring them with them to the dance, as it will be necessary to show them at the door 10 gain admission.
 The orchestra which will provide the music has been rehearsing the numerous dance hits which will be played, and a splendid program is assured. Dancing will start at 9:30 and the grand march IS sheduled for 1O:l5
 The dance will be informal as far as the men are concerned, but it is presumed the ladies will avail themselves of the opportunity to show of their new gowns. The in vitations announce that the dance will be informal but the committee is not assuming to dictate to the ladies in the matter of their attire.

WORK WILL START SOON
 ON THOMAS BAY PROJECT

There is every indication that actual work will start on the big paper plant at Thomas Bay as early this spring as weather conditions will allow, says the Petersburg Re- port. Two crews are now engaged in cruising timber in the Rocky Pass section and the Forestry off cials at Ketchikan are rushing work on one of their boats so that another crew can be sent out al once.
 Those who are backing the plant have applied for final permit to develop the water power there and this will be granted as soon as the Forest Service has set aside thirty years supply of timber
 According to word received the Forest Service and the Federal Power Commission have been given substantial evidence that the back CTS are ready to start as soon as the timber supply is assured. IL is also understood that the plant Is being backed by San Francisco capitalists and newspaper publishers and that approximately 800 men will be working there before the summer Is over.
 ANYONE INTERESTED in the Si- berian dog team recently advertised can purchase any number of the eleven, See Tom Jones.

,Cont,nued from page u


zers Of the state to the end that
Indian villages, mounds, historic
trails, sites of military engagements,

be marked and set aside for state
parks. There are too some beauty
spots in the state that should be set
aside, around which no historic as
sociations cluster. In many cases
the state parks may he connected up
with city parks.
The trustees of the Historical So
ciety recently appointed park
commission consisting of O. G. Lib

Judge A. NJ. Christianson and George
+. Will. These men are familiar with
the state parks situation and take a
keen appreciation in things of his
toric and scientific interest and are
well qualified to render the service
that the state needs. During the
present summer these men will be
engaged in looking over certain ad-
ditiOnal tracts to be obtained for
state park purposes. These men can
do much but with the limited time
at their disposed 1t will be impos-
sible for them to visit all the sites
that should be included in state
parks. Citizens of the state inter
ested in such matters should lay
their claims before the trustees of

glad to avail themselves of all the
local support such interested citi-
zens may be able to give, in estab.
fishing additional parks"

The officers all said, eyes sir!'

AT that very minute General Hob

Suddenly bang bang, bang
Bangity, bang, bang! went a hundred

The door was flung open and in
rushed dozen wooden soldiers.
"fou are our prisoner, General
Hobbledehoy," they cried. "Hurrah
the war is over and we have won
Hurrah for Nancy and Nick"
Isn't that the way, my dears
When we are. boasting the most is
usually the very time we should be
most careful.
