By n. III. ASHTON
President American Railway Association
NEW. YORK, Tee. 14.-Four i'm
portant new high records were
established by the railroads in 1925:
They handled successfully dur
ing the year the greatest volume
of freight ever offered to them by
shippers of this country.
2-This record freight traffic was
moved with the greatest efficiency
and economy ever attained,
3-The dependability of railway
service to the TuDlic during the
year was the gre Attest ever known.
1.-The freight movement was the
most expeditions IN record.
An era of better mutual under
standing of business problems by
the railroads and of railway prob
lens by business men has been
firmly established and should have
an increasingly wholesale ERECT on
railroad performance in 1926 as Wen
as in future years.
The announced policy OF the rail-
ways is to pro- lde the greaIest
measure of effic ent service with
the greatest degree of economy and
to do this they must always be IN
q position to keep abreast of the
rapidly increasiT & demands for
Transportation due to the expansion
Of commerce. =.
If--these requirements can be met
there need be no fear but that the
railroads can and will continue to
give efficient and economical serv'
Re mt only through 1926, but
thereafter.

Emery Valentine, pioneer jeweler of Juneau and one of the best known politicians in the territory, is in St. Ann hospital in a critical condition, following a stroke of apoplexy.
 It is reported that John E. Ballaine, of Alaska Central Railroad fame, is to return to Alaska soon with a party of Long Beach, California capi- talists, to look over some birch timber near Anchorage.
 The building occupied by the Mccarthy Laundry, at Mccarthy, was recently de- stroyed by fire.
 Eighteen gold medals will be presented to the drivers who participated in the dash across Alaska by dog teams, bearing anti-toxin to diptheria strick- an Nome last winter. The medals will be presented by the H. K. Mulford Company, of Philadelphia, manufactur- ing chemists.

ing that the company has ov- ercome the obstacles which have handicapped operations in the past and increased the production to the point where profits will show continuously henceforth. There was a de- ficit of $8,50O in June, 1924.
 From Seattle to Seward in 30 hours in an airship is a certainty, according to O. A. Campbell, assistant manager of the Alaska and Northwest Dirigible Company, who re, gently arrived in Seward. Tt is only matter of a short time when the above state- ment will be in effect and the residents of Alaska will soon be making trips to the States via this air line which, after five years of effort, will un- doubtedly come to a success ful conclusion this summer.
 Captain Fred Peterson, of Se- attle, who is operating the North Pacific Sea Products Company's whaler from Aku- tan island, was recently rush. ed to Unalaska for treatment of a badly lacerated arm, which was injured when a whaling bomb passed through whale and exploded on the outside of the body close to Peterson. The explosion tore the unfortunate mans cloth ing into shreds and injured his arm so severely that it may be necessary to amputate it.

pany operations in the Cold Bay oil fields, who recently arrived in Anchorage, states that drilling is still under way in the two wells, and that We'll No. l is down 3,700 feet with the formation about the same as it was at 2,OO0 feet. On the McNally claim, where they re- gently commenced drilling they are down sixty feet.
 Recent advices from Dawson stated that influenza is sweep. ing up the Yukon Valley. Whole families have been stricken in Dawson and the hospital is filled to capacity with sufferers, many of the patients being very sick. Two deaths are reported among the Indians at Selkirk. A nurse was dispatched from Dawson to take charge of the situation there. It is said one hundred of the Indians are afflicted with the disease. Many cases of flu are also reported at Circle, old-time settlement 300 miles down the river from Dawson, and a doctor has gone to render aid.
 The Alaska Juneau gold mine, the largest operating mining property in the Terri tory, which has been making a heroic struggle to get on a paying basis, showed an earn ing last month of $20,1OO, which is regarded as indicat-

The Valdez Transfer Com pany brought in a heavy wag- on which had been used last fall and left naer Snowslide in the canyon. During the winter porcupines discovered the wagon, and evidently believed it had been left there for the purpose of furnishing them with winter rations, for they proceeded to feast on the spokes and felloes until soms of them were almost entirely consumed.
 George c. Hazelet, manager of the Chilkat Oil Company, returned to Cordova from Katalla a few days ago and reported that the new we'll be- ing drilled on the property of the company is now down distance of 975 feet, where the oil showing is as good as they have ever encountered at that point. He states that there was oil struck at TAO feet and that 400 or 800 feet more will be drilled in order to deter mine the value of the we'll.
 Marble produced in Alaska will be prominently featured in the new Washington State capitol at Olympia if members of the capitol commission have their way about it. The Alaska product is more costly than marble produced elsewhere, but in the opinion of the com mission, the better appear snce of the Alaska product justifies the added cost.
 The Ketchikan city council recently voted to retire $1O, 900 of the bonds sold to fi- nance the erection of Ketch- ikan's fine new school build ing. The sum of S15n-010-- was raised by two bond issues and it is planned to retire the bonds at the rate of $10.000 each year until all are retired.

He also has 10 mink 8 bucks and 7 females and they are all getting along nicely. Two of the female minks have six pups each, but MT.

 l Development work on the 360-foot level of the Rose vein on the Little Giant Mine, or Mineral Creek, near Valdez has opened up extremely rich gold bearing ore. Charles Titus, mining engineer, states that the ore is 90 per cent free milling, and is very similar in character to the rich ore min ed at the Cliff Mine during its wonderful production period. The ore on the surface of the Rose vein gave an average value of $50 per ton, and from the richer places shipments of several tons of ore were made which gave mill returns ot over $400 per ton recovery.
 The vein on the lower level varies from three to four feet in width, with the high grade paystreak averaging about eighteen inches in width. The property, under present limit, ed development shows foul we'll defined ore bodies, each with possibilities of making 6 mine in itself.
 Orders were recently issued for a coast guard cutter t proceed to the Bristol Bay re zion with physicians ana medicines to combat an epi- demic of influenza among the natives of that district. The epidemic is said to be spread ing rapidly and many of the natives have already succumb- ed to the disease.

GOPHERS CAPTURE WINNIPEG

Imagine yourself walking up Nicol
let Avenue Minneapolis or Sixth St.,
st. Paul. Suddenly, with blare OF
bugles and rattle of drums, two
thousand gaily dressed Canadians,
led by many bands and drum corps,
carrying aloft hundreds of banners
bearing the "Union Jack" of Eng
land and Canada, hove into view and
with heads erect, firm step, and pep"
bubbling over, march by for half
an hour to the accompaniment of a
wild ovation from the suddenly null
titude of spectators. And as they
swing along with that wonderful
care-free spirit of "1917" doughboys
marching toward the battlefront, you
realize that the spirit of patriotism
still lives, and that here are 1000
young Canadian war veterans who
not only keep alive this spirit in
their homeland, but carry it to other
lands and with the hand of friendship

and good will" between the two great
North American countries. No strang-
er to Minnesotans the sight of count
less Union Jacks along our streets
than the sight of countless banners
of "Old Glory" proudly carried by
1000 members of The Gopher Legion
Gang along the streets of Winnipeg.
To say that the citizens of Winni-
peg were deeply and favorably inn
pressed would be putting it mildly.
They were amazed at the unity, the
enthusiasm, the patriotism and the
spirit of Minnesota Legionnaires.
They took their hats off in honor of
Old Glory as the Stars and Stripes
went by. They welcomed the inva-
sion. They knew they were dealing
with friends-and they stretched out
the hand of friendship in return. 1t

Minnesota feet. Winnipeg citizens
will long remember the Minnesota Lee
gion invasion of Aug. IL, 1925.

State Receives
Valuable Canvas
of Battle Scene
AUTHENTIC SKETCH BY EYE
WITNESS TO INDIAN ATTACK
ON NEW ULM DURING SIOUX
UPRISING.

When the Old. Fifth Mianesota
one late summer day back in 90
went to the relief of Indian be-
seiged Fort Ridgely on the Mime
sofa river, one of its young officers,
Captain James McGraw, an Artist
of more than local note, gained an
accurate mental impression which,
afterwards transferred to canvas,
created what is now priced as one
of the few authentic sketches Of
the historic battle scene.
! The painting, encased in frame
three by six feet in size, has just
been presented to the Minnesota
Historical Society by McGraw's
widow now living in Winnipeg. It
occupies a prominent space in the
society's museum hanging next to
a portrait of Lieutenant Timothy j.
Sheehan ,one of McGrew's fellow
officers.
The scene as painted by the
youthful Indian fighter, according
to information obtained by Will
loughby M. Babacock, curator Of the
museum, marked the turn of the
battle tide. It shows the garrison
turning it's cannon on two large
buildings and firing them to remove
what had bee excellent cover for the
attacking redskins.
J Situated a few rods from the
} main fort structures the outbuild-
ings which had been used for
storehouses had enabled the Indians
to creep from a nearby ravine be-
hind the convenient cover without
exposing themselves to enemy gun
fire.
The painting depicts the mad
fight of this section of the besieging
party, as the well-aimed cannon
shots converted the two log store
houses into masses of flames. It
, was a daring move by the troopers
for their surplus stores were housed
in this destroyed building but the
, Indians, thus repulsed fell back far
enough to permit arrival Of fresh
supplies.
Exercises will be held at Fort
Ridgely in honor of the early Min
nesotans who persisted in the several
} massacres incidental to the forts at
tack.
