ALASKA RAHROAD HEAD PLANS TO DEPART FOR
 WASHINGTON NOV. 1
Anchorage Alaskan.)

Two contingencies, and possibly three will determine if Noel w Smith returns to direct the opera tions of the Alaska Railroad, after his trip to Washington, where he will report to Secretary of the In- terior Work, his findings with re- spect to the needs of the road
 The first, says MT. Smith, is whether the secretary desires him to return, the second is whether or not he could secure leave from the Pennsylvania system to return. The third is unanswerable, unless one can read MT. Smiths mind. It is whether or not he cares to return.
 If the latter question were left to vote of the railroad employees, and the general public, it would be settled unanimously in MT. Smiths favor.
 MT. Smith expects to leave An chorage for Washington about No vember first, where he will ask for approximately $2,OO0,000 for the coming year, to meet anticipated deficit in operating expenses and for new construction. Under the head of construction will be an item of approximately 150,OOO ties at a cost of from s3O0,OOO to s35O,O0O.
 The actual deficit for 1923 was $1,771, ,062.76, which was met by an appropriation of $1,245,OO0 by Con- gross, and the use of other funds and resources of the railroad on hand at the beginning of the year.
 While nothing tangible has been given out with respect to extensions of line, it is known that strong pressure is being brought to have the Moose Creek narrow-gauge spur ex- tended to serve the Howard lesson coal mine, which is ready to enter the field as a producer. This matter has already been presented to Washington by Bartley Howard, who recently made trip outside, and will doubtless be considered by the Secretary of the Interior along with the budget to be presented by MT. Smith
 Another contingency which might arise next year is the revival of the Matanuska branch line from Sut- ton to. the Chickaloon. The favorable announcements on the coal deposits at the Anthracite hill, by the Blu reau of Mines, and the possibilities Of tonnage from this source have brought the question forward, and It Is known that MT. Smith thinks we'll of this source of revenue and its possibilities in contributing to the general prosperity of the road and community.
 Among the other matters that will be pressed at the next session of Congress, will be a colonization plan for the Railroad Belt which will include in addition to agricul- ture, all matters pertaining to de> velopment of natural resources, both held under conservation and otherwise.
 l Until the report of Capt. John Hughes is submitted to MT. Smith, his attitude with respect to the question will not be known.

 HEARERS AGAINST
 KILLING CONFIDENCE

CHICAGO, Oct. 29.-secretary of State Hughes in an address here last night said "The third party seems to thrive on suspicion and calumny" and is attacking everyone and everything.
