Bus Lines Win
First Battle
with Railroads
SCORES OF TOWNS AFFECTED
BY RULING THAT RAILROADS
ARE NOT PRIMARILY PRO.


TECTED.
The first highway NOTORIOUS corn
pany which encountered resistance
by Minnesota railroads, last week
was accorded victory by the state
OF Minnesota. in decision by the
state railroad and warehouse conf
mission. The decision laid down leg
al principles involving rights of the
public as against claims of railroads.
The commission issued license Of
convenience and necessity to the Bou-
levard Transportation Company, for
$50 miles of routes, stretching north
and south from Minneapolis. This
is one of the major companies which;
was involved in the $2,500,OO0 merger
by the Northland Transportation
Company, which is an auxiliary Of
the Great Northern Railroad.
The action of the state is regarded
as of farreaching Importance because

The railroads also are fighting the
Jefferson south lines.
Presidents established in the Bor-
ievard case may apply with equal
significance to these lines. q,
The Red Line, the Northland ard
the Eagle companies already have
been licensed by the state. The total
licensed mileage now is about 1870
miles.
The Omaha and Milwaukee rail-
road fought the licensing of this com
pany's routes, and the case was re-
garded as the crucial test in the CON-
missions Interpretation of the motor
bus control act, passed by the 1925
legislature. -
The commission, answering the
railroads plea that the legislature
enacted the new law to lift encroach.
ments of bus service from their steam
lines area set down this interpreta-
ton of the law.
1t is urged by the rail car
riers, that the enactment OF
this law was intended to op-
crate as restriction upOn
the motor vehicle carrier and
as protection to competing
exising railroads. 1t would
be strange legislation that
would command the commits
sion to conduct the formali-
ties of public hearing and
at the same time deprive it Of
exercising its judgment where
existing conditions and cir
cumstances demand. The leg
islature cannot be charged
with assuming to direct and
indicate what forms of trans
portation the public shall be
limited to and what channel
or course it shall pursue to
reach its destination. The
reasonableness, necessity and
Justice of the demand to Sc
cure adequate service for the
public must be considered by
the commission as paramount
to any protection the Compel
ing rail carrier may claim
under the act.

to the improvement Of broadcast
ing and reception by the public.

there are more than 15,O00,OO re-

"a survey of progress in radio
reveals that this Is the era Of ra-

said. This statement does NOT
refer to the importance or extent
OF radio engineering. but to the
type OF development now going on
in radio, as compared with that OF
past years.
Has Been CrudA
Relatively speaking. radio has
been crude heretofore, whereas the
progress now being made is not
merely empirical. but is more
largely characterized by actual en-
cheering development. We have
not so much the invention of de-
vices now as the perfection of
them. Engineering of radio has
taken definite form, and is the tool
by which further progress will be
wrought"

Seldovia Fox Farmer Departs for Interior
 To Purchase Silvers

On his way to the Interior districts to buy two or three pairs of silver foxes, A. A. Burglin, who has been conducting a fox ranch twelve miles from Seldovia for the past year with his partner, Louis Hooper, left Sew ard yesterday morning. MT. Burglin said he expected to be gone for a number of weeks and planned to- re- turn to Seward in time to make con- nection with the next sailing of the Starr in January.
 At the present time the partners have IS blue and silver foxes on their farm. The progress made, thus far, has been very good, MT. Burglin said, and he is confident within a few years they will have a profitable industry.
 They have fine location in a small bay, near enough to Seldovia so that the isolation is never felt. Until his entree into the fur farming business MT. Burglin owned and operated a trading post in the Kuskokwim district for 15 years. His partner, Hooper, is also an old timer of the Interior where he followed the mining game.

The mill was purchased through the local agent, Nels Hagen.
 The two companies mentioned are two separate properties but MT. Hur- ley is a stockholder in each. Opera tions will resume in the Alaska Hills Mines early in the spring and work of installing the new mill on the Nuka Bay Mining Company will begin upon it's arrival The latter company is owned entirely by local people and has been pronounced as one of the finest looking, claims in the entire dis trict.

Oxford university has only 168 American students this year as con- pared with 203 last year and 266 in 1922. English educators have ex- pressed disappointment over the steady decline in the American en- rollment, since they had hoped that Anglo-American amity might be fur ther developed through the presence of large numbers of Americans in English universities.
 Oxford has failed completely to at tract the type of American student who was common in the German unl- versailles before the war, partly be- cause of the costliness of an Ox- ford education and partly because the university does not readily give nor highly honor the degree of doc tor of philosophy so much prized by the American teaching profession.

So many American antique hunt CTS have carried across the Atlantic old fashioned English copper bed warmers that the price of these arti- cles in London has trebled in recent months. The Americans seize upon the warmers as fine things to hang behind an open fireplace or to use as chestnut roasters or corn peppers. The ordinary warmer is about the size of wash basin, with a lid and a three-foot handle. In its hey dey it was filled with live charcoal and thrust between the sheets at mite to take off the chill.
