FOR NIzLNA BRIDGE
 BEEN BOUGHT

The striking feature of the North west today is the manner in which the shippers of that region are awak- ening to the opportunity of lessening transportation costs by the utiliza- ton of the Panama Canal according to Col J. c. Gotwals, Engineer Of ficer of the Alaska Road Commission, who has returned from months visit to Seattle, Portland and other cities of the Northwest. The Canal route, he added has brought Phila- delphia and Eastern steel and man. ufacturing centers as close to the Pacific Northwest and Alaska as Kansas City formerly was, as far as freight rates are concerned.
 The net result is, he said, that many economies have been effected in construction and other activities This is benefitting all of the North west and to certain degree, Alas ka, in that it is making it possible to do more work for the same money that was formerly expended.
 In Portland conditions are good and the future of the city is of the brightest, said Colonel Gotwals, who said that it is probably destined to be the numbering center of the world Seattle is better than for the past two years and the business depres- sion there has lifted perceptibly Colonel Gotwals was one of the speakers at luncheon of the Se- attle Chamber of Commerce and ln his talk assailed the system of mis- taken conservation which had been foisted on the Territory. He also attended the Alaska Fish Dinner giv- en by the Arctic Club.
 Materials for putting in the five big piers of the Nizina River bridge and other supplies were purchased by Colonel Gotwals during his ap- sence. These are to be shipped to Cordova and freighted out to the bridge site this winter. Assistant Superintendent Huddleston will go inside to take charge of the work and it is hoped that all the piers can be completed before next springs high water stops the work. If this ic pot Doccih1p work will be SuS- pended during the summer and re- newed again after the freeze-up next fall The piers will be completed during the calendar year of 1923, he said. It is planned to complete the structure next winter and early in the spring in 1924

BIG LOCOMOTIVE HELPS TRAINS
 ON GRADES

PHILADELPHIA, Jau H. - As forerunner of future electrfication of the heavily graded main line of the Pennsylvania Railroad over the Ale ghenies, one of the largest electric locomotives for freight service in the world is being tested out by the road on the stiff grades between Philadel- phia and Paoli, Pa.
 The locomotive was built in the company's own shops to the design of their engineers and develops a trac- tive effort of S7200 pounds, which makes it necessary to use it only as "pusher." If it pulled train it would jerk the drawbar couplings out of the cars with it's tremendous strength.
 An idea of it's power can be gained from the fact that it frequently takes the place of two steam pusher en- zines It's trials have not been with out their humorous features, due to the immense tractive effort. Recent ly, while pushing a freight train near Narberth, Pa, the steam locomotive at the head of the train stopped for

 ASSOCIATION
 IN CHICAGO

CHICAGO, Jan. 11.-"C-Z-4-36-S." "
 The bootlegger under arrest mum bIes this or some similar tumble of letters and figures over the tele- phone. There is an immediate stir in the office of the "Bootleggers' Pro- tective Association
 These numbers and figures are a code, telling the name of the boot legger, the fact that he has been ar rested, the day of his arraignment, the court in which he will be ar ragned and the name of the judge who will preside. Each bootlegger has a separate code number
 ~ These interesting facts have been announced here by United States District Attorney Clyne. He de- clared he had discovered an as sociation known as the "B-Ellers Association" was in reality a boot leggers protective organization.
 It is impossible to tell how many members the association has, Clyne says, but membership assures bond of $2,00O and legal advice. The or sanization has elaborate offices and a telephone system equal to that of any Hoop" business. The offices are said to be within a stones throw of the Federal Building.
 The existence of the association became known when disgruntled young man who paid his $50 fee complained to Clyne he had not re- ceived proper "protection."

FREICHTINC TO OIL FIELDS IS
 SLOW WORK

Approximately 50 per cent only of the supplies for the Standard and Associated Oil companies, has been freighted from Kanatak to the oil fields at the present time, according to Otis Ross, surveyor, who is interested in oil claims in the East and Wide Bay fields of the Cold Bay district. MT. Ross recently left for the States, where he is going in the interest of his holdings in Cold Bay.
 Bad Roads Cause
 Bad roads are the cause of re- tarding the progress of freighting the supplies to the oil fields, MT. Ross said There is no snow, so that dog teams might be used, and the mud is so deep as to make the road prac- tically impossible. Caterpillars, he said make very slow progress and travel with horses is difficult.
 At the present time the supplies are cached along the road at inter- vals, from Kanatak to the fields and not much is being accomplished to- ward their transportation.
 The companies started freighting in the fall and expected to get all their supplies at the fields of opera tion in about three weeks time.
 They should be able to finish the freighting by February 1, MT. Ross said.
 Many Men Employed
 Between 40 and 50 men are em- ployed in the Cold Bay district by the two oil companies at the present time and a drill crew for the Assoc1- ated Oil went out on the last trip of the Admiral Watson. Little work is being done on any claims held by individuals.
 MT. Ross said he understands a drill is to be sunk in the east field dome next spring.
 MT. Ross has spent several months in the Cold Bay district and sur veyed 50 claims during the season. He expects to resume survey work in the spring.
 Kanatak is a good sized town al ready with a winter population of 15O people, MT. Ross said. The ma jority of the residents come frorl other Alaskan towns, chiefly those at the Westward. Present indications are that if oil is struck in the dis trict Kanatak will be one of the metropolis of Alaska, he said There are now four stores, hotel, two restaurants, a bakery and laundry and several soft drink parlors in the town and a lively and busy atmos- phere prevails throughout the place, MT. Ross said.

REMARKABLE SAVINGS FIGURES

Remarkable progress in the savings
habit in the United States is shown in
figures presented to the recent con
vention of the American Bankers AS
ISOLATION by Samuel H. Beach, presl-
dent Of it's Savings Bank Division.
In 1921, Mr.. Beach showed, twenty
six million people had savings ac-
counts aggregating s16,61S, 900. In
1922, there was an increase of over
four per cent, bringing the aggregate
up to SIT, ,3OO,OOO,O0O. Similar statis-
ties for 1912 showed that the aggre-
gate was only about half as much as
in 1922 or only SS,433,000,OOO
Mr. Beach's report on school savings
banking showed that practically two
million pupils are now participating in
school banking systems, an increase
OF 81 per cent as compared with last
year and 5S per cent as compared with
1921. while the total Of the actual
amount deposited last year was
s9,6iS,000, as compared with S5,775,000
in 1921 and s2,SOO 900 in 1920, an in.
crease Of nearly $40 per cent in three
years.

WHERE THE RAINBOW
TOUCHES THE GROUND

THE family cat died. The farmer
1 who ownsd the cat, in digging
the grave discovered a substance
which proved to be mari. This
farmer had been hauling limestone
a long distance for his alfalfa
fields. In conference with his
county agent, he discovered that
mari would take the place Of lime
in correcting the acidity of his soil.
This experience led him to the use
Of mari that existed on his own
farm and saved him much time and
considerable expense In hauling.
Similar opportunities have ex-
listed and still exist Many farmers
in the middle west will recall what
a pest sweet clover used to be.
Now this pest is being used profit
ably as hay and pasture for live
stock and as a crop to be plowed
under for increasing the fertility
Of the soil.
Kansas is called the "Sunflower
State" and those who have lived
there will well remember how they
have fought this weed. Today sun
flowers are being grown as a crop,
as feed for chickens and it is also
being utilized with or without corn
as a suitable crop for the silo.
1t is surprising to discover how
many things which were frowned
upon in days gone by are now
serving a useful purpose. These
changes have been brought about
by observation and study. Brains
count on the farm as elsewhere.
The man who thinks while he is
performing physical work is not
only opening up the way for larger
profits but he is removing the word
drudgery from his vocabulary and
is Transforming what used to be a
drudgery into a profitable pleasure.
