TRANSPORTATION IN AL ASKA

ALASKA
 Alaska's vast area is divided in to many mining precincts. Com paratively few of these districts are easy of access. Transportat ion is the problem. Good roads the solution.
 The undersigned ha spent more than twenty years in min ing in various parts of the North land ], and in most instances has had to overcome that almost in Surmountable obstacle, namely, excessive freight rates due to lack of transportation.
 During the past ten years my efforts have been in the Chandalar and White River Districts, and the facts herein presented are not eXcep tiOnal Cases but repre- sentative of the average mining Districts, not served by rail or water tra importation. Officials of the Geological Survey Alaska Division will confirm my state ments as true of interior costs transportat tion.
 Barring the camps that are served by rail, or water, I con tend that at least one third of all gold taken from the ground in A laska has been consumed by the single item, excessive freight costs due directly to the lack of roads. In other words, roads en abling the economical handling of freight to and from the mines will make possible a saving equi yalent to one third the total out put. To the uninitated this state ment may sound increditable, but not to the men who have been through the mill,
 The Chandlar Mining District, a quartz and placer camp, has been worked continuously since discovery. The gold produced Continued on Page 3 Column 1)

Col. Steese should have at least $1,6O0,0OO for Alaskan roads for the next fiscal year, and 1 sincerely hope that you and your colleauges will appropriate the moneys necessary for this Wor thy and meritous purpose.
 Believe me, my dear Senator, with best wishes, Very sincerely your friend, ,Wm. Sulzer.

 OF NO NEW POLICY
Denies Making Disarmament
 OVertures to Japan
By The Associated Frees.

| by Ills sEspEldltu Ites
 Washington, March 25.-Anthorized 1 spokesmen at the state department
 said today that no American "sugges- 1 ton for further elimination of naval armaments" had been made to Japan
 beyond the action taken by the house
 of representatives in the naval appro
 priation bill. In this measure the
 house inserted provision suggesting further armaments conference, but
 the administration, which alone is re- sponsible for the conduct of such ne-
 gotiations, has indicated that it does
 not consider the time for such step opportune.
 1 It was emphatically stated that the
 Washington government had not re- gently in any manner made any sug- i gestion to any foreign government re- garding proposal for further naval armament reductions.
 l The question has not been discussed even informally by Secretary Hughes l with representatives Of foreign gov ernments in Washington nor has the subject been referred to by exchange of written correspondence between the Washington and other governments.
 The state departments explanation was supported at the White. House by | officials :here in a position to speak l for President Coolidge, The Washing ton government, it was said, has made no inquiries of other governments relative to a new armaments confer ence.
 There were other things on the agenda Of the Washington armaments conference which thls government de- 1 sired taken up al that time, but which could not be considered. If there should come time when opportunity Is found to have these questions dis cussed between representative of the | various governments, President Cool | idge will be glad to again present the matters passed over by the original conference,

MARKET IS SAVED
Intervention Ky Bank of France Yes tenlay Alone Prevented Serious smash On the Bourse.

Paris, March 25.-Interyention by the Bank of France of the Bourse yesterday is regarded as having pre- vented q smash in the market. The violent fluctuations of certain stocks had put several houses in a precari- ous position, and their failure would have involved others. Prompt action by the bank stopped the precipitate drop, and today far healthier tone was shown in the market.
 The embarrassment in the stock market is generally attributed to the abruptncss of the operation by which the franc was advanced. A moderate reaction of the pound sterling now is expected, with the possibility of easier liquidation at the end of the month than had been feared.

 that properSattention was not given to the improvement of which Bristol was so proud. The point is made merely as q suggestion for our own adyanta g. namely, that no great undertaking of this sort should be begun until there are ample means at hand to do the thing properly. In the plan for the future development of our schools this aspect should be considered. In the plans for the proper memorial in Walnut Hill park provisions should be made with the thought in mind of the spring storms that come yearly. In all other plans for cityrdevelopment the thought of todays damage should have a place.
 And. for the individual, no season of glorious weather, free from storms of winter and raias. Of spring. should make him forget that the heaviest rainfall ever known" may come to in jure his property. Against this he should provide in building and select ing his home.
 But the temporary unpleasant con ditions should not bring discourage ment. They will pass. and soon the eagerly anticipated spring and sum mer will come. Cheer up--the worst is not to come; it's over.
