1t. i long cry from Unimak island to Peru, yet that is the kind of trail that Tom Graham, the veteran tram builder, is called upon to travel. The recognized king of tram constructors, after building the longest aerial in the world, from the the Premier mine to tide Water, thought that he was entitled to call it the crowning achieve trient of thirty years in this line of work; SO he went to Spokane, took into himself wife, moved to Chi cago and went into business there. But when his associates of a quar. ter-century, the Riblet Tram Co.,. undertook to install a particularly difficult piece of construction in South America. the prospect of overcoming formidable obstacles was too alluring to resist, 50 he will soon be scaling the Andes.
 MT. Graham came here from Unimak, where the wind blows so Aercely and continuously that ici- cles stand out on the horizontal. He built a tram there to transport sulphur from an extinct volcano to the seashore. That was a tough piece of work, bat it works. Here he put into successful operation an aerial system that is particularly intricate. in that it is not only the longest in the world, but that it angles down from the mine in such a way as to form almost a com. plete turn. The millions of dollars in dividends being paid by the Premier tell the story of how well lie performed his task. Here is what Mining Truth of Spokane says about his next job:
 "Riblet Tramway O., of Spokane, has secured a $155,0OO contract to construct a six.and-a.half mile tr ,mway for Northern Peru Min ing & Smelling O., a subsidiary of American Smelling & Refining Co. operating what is known as the Diana group of mines on the Moche river, at a small town called Samne Peru.
 The contract was signed by By. ron c. Riblet, head of the local company. in New York, where he went to consult with H. A. Guess, mines director of Aperisan Smelt' Ing & Refining Co.,, who has charge of the operation of the companV's holdings in Peru and elsewhere.
 The local firm met with severe competition, not only from United States concerns, but particularly from German dealers. The former satisfactory work of the local com. pany. however, particularly at the Premier mine. in the Portland Ca nal district, where it installed tho lonaest tramway in the world, fin ally turned the scales in it's favor

GERMAN CABINET CHIEFS
BARRED FROM RUHR

PARIS. Feb. 10 (By The Asso-
ciated Press). - German cabinet
ministers hereafter Will be barred
from the Ruhr by the Franco-Bel-
gian forces. Premier Poincare of
France and Foreign Minister Jaspar
or Belgium, at conference here to-
day, drafted a brief note to this ef-
feet, which was Immediately deliv-
cred to the German embassies in
Paris and Brussels. The note reads:
THE Belgian and French govern
ments have established that the visit
of Chancellor Cuno in the Ruhr
region and the action he took there
had for it's sole object, and really
resulted in, the provoking of a dan
gerous state of excitement, particu-
larly among the big industrial lead
ers, chief functionaries and govern
ment employees. -.-... -.
'.Uhder these conditions the
French and Belgian governments
anxious to avoid, especially in the
interest of the population, disorders
that might become sanguinary, find
it necessary to inform the govern
ment of the Reich and the govern
ments of the states that ministers of
the Reich and of the German
states will no longer be authorized
to enter the Ruhr."
The conference between the
French premier and the Belgian for
eign minister, arranged for yesterday
in Brussels after consultations be-
tween the Belgian cabinet ministers
and M. LIE Trocquer, French minister
of public works, resulted in the
reaching of complete unity as to
methods of action in the Ruhr. Gen
eral Degoutte, who the Belgians feel
is sympathetic toward them. will re-
main in command as heretofore, and
no interallied high commissioner will
be appointed, as has been suggested
in some quarters. M. Jaspar return
ed to Brussels at noon.

In addition TO the star teams in
diWdual citizens have promised their
aid in getting funds among their
friends. l.. J. Bartlett, one of the
sponsors of the society, anticipates
that the $4,000 will be in the treas
ury of the society before the end Of
the drive.
The funds will be used to help
worthy and certified students who
are willing and anxious to study but
have not the means. There is no re-
ligion or race distinction. A student
of any school from this city will be
helped. The adva..ced funds to the
students will, be collected from them
as soon as they begin to earn money
after leaving their educational stu
dies. 1t is the hope of the society to
assist only tho-e students who will
prove that they at a later date will
show signs of appreciation and re-
turn any sum that has been ad-
vanced to them.
With this fdee in mind the society
will not ask for any more funds to
be self-sustaining. The sponsors e.
pect to have the greater part of that
$4,000 in their treasury as they will
rely greatly IN the honour of the
boys and girls who will receive the
benefit of their efforts.
