 The work of building the railroad began in 1915 Except for the broadgauging of fftyfve miles between Nenana and Fairbanks the system miles ii com ploted Its cost totals $62,000.000 Throughout the period of construction, it has transported freight and passengers to the extent of its facilities. It's traffic has steadily increased. but receipts have not vet equaled operating expenses. Except for period dur ing the World War, Col Frederick Mears present cheif of the Railway Commission has been actively engaged in the construction of the system. He has been cminently successful in solving difficult en- gneering problems and in administering the affairs of the enterprise. His work has evoked the highest praise The railroad is monument to his probity and ability

The report goes exhaustively into the subject, giving the statements of many prominent Northernors. including several Yukoners as to the extent such herds exist in the North and the success obtained in the domestication of the animals The experiences of the United States Government in introducing reindeer into Alaska is given much space The report the whole is of great interest to those vitally concerned in development of the northern portion of Canada. From the statements Of the man qualified men who appeared before the commission, there seems little doubt but what the vast areas from Hudson Bay to Boring Sea in time will become Of great economic value grazing lands for domesicated herds. As the lands far to the south become appropriated for farming purposes by the ever Increasing population the northern lands will be looked upon with favor as the last great graz ing ranges of the continent
 The establishment of transportation routes through the North will aid greatly in development of the grazing industry There must be a way to get meat products well mineral and other products of q country to market. Illustrative of this fact the rein deer owners of Alaska already have begun to move their herds toward the new Alaska railway An iclpatory of the rail transportation facilities l3OO reindeer have been driven from Nome to the sustna and Nenana valleys. paralleing the new AL aska railway These herds will form the nuclcus of an annual deer meat supply routed conveniently to seattle and distributed from that point Former B reindeer earcasses could be shipped out of Nome ohy during the short of navigation

Representative Hill said that the
whole trouble was that the prohibit

water on both shoulders" and were
multiplying the farmers natural oppo-
sition TO the Volstead law by telling
them that they could make cider and
fruit juices. He believes that uni

have to be made and that the farm
ers will then join with the people of
the cities in demanding a more liberal
Interpretation of the prohibition law

leave for Baltimore on Monday and
would be ready and waiting for any
action to be taken against him.
When informed of the resolution
passed yesterday by the Chamber of

resentative Hill expressed the greatest
pleasure and said that he believed
the Chambers action was entirely in
