RAILROAD CONSOLIDATION

It is said that President Coolidge will gain recommend to Congress further legislation to encourage consolida ting the railroads of the country into fewer systems, with a view to greater economy of opera ton and consequently lower freight rates.
 Such a governmental policy seems diametrically opposite to the trust busting activities of former years, but in ne light uf changed con- ditions it is no doubt eminently sound
 Railroads and other public service corporations are now under rigid government supervision with respect to service required to be rendered and rates to- be charged, so that the supposed dangers to the public aris- ing from great mergers have been largely overcome.
 Modern operations in the basic industries require vast combinations of capital and resources, which are only made possible by permitting such resources to be pooled in a manner to promote efficient service at a low cost.

A LARGE SIZED ORDER

In spite of the ever-increasing de- mands of agriculture, there are still some siZable cattle ranches left in this country, one of which was owned by Mrs Richard King of Texas. who died recently.
 This ranch embraces 1,30O,000 acres bordering on the Gulf of Mex ico for 100 miles. Some years ago it filled on short notice one of the largest orders for cattle ever placed in America, according to B. c. Forbes, the we'll known business authority.
 At the time of the occurrence there was a serious shortage of cat tie in Chicago mad a conference of leading packers met to consider the situation, when a representative of the King ranch chanced to be pres ent After listening to the discus sion of the situation, he asked how many cattle were desired to fill the requirements and was told at least 10000 were needed.
 Wire our ranch and l think they'll ship them," calmly remarked the Texan.
 The packers were skeptical, but in desperation telegraphed the ranch asking if by any means it would be possible to furnish 40,0Co cattle immediately. The manager wired back: "Yes, will you have Shorthorns or Herefords?"
 Like other business activities, stock raising is now highly special ized industry, requiring ability and skillful management to. insure sue cess. Pure-bred stock is one of the most important factors. There is no profit to be made by raising scrubs any more.

NEW ENGINE OF DEATH

For several weeks stories have been going the rounds of the press con- corning a new death-dealing agency, called the death stroke" or canned lightning" Extrayagant claims are made for it by its inventor, Dr. Edwin R. Scott, but much secrecy has surrounded the methods whereby it is caused to operate.
 Among the astounding perform ances attributed to the death stroke are it's power to burn holes in Finch steel plates at distance of mile; set fire to dead trees at the same distance and kill animals at two to seven miles, besides destroying dunn my airplanes in flight.
 The Navy department is said to be interested in the experiments, but little authentic information is avail able concerning them. Like the much heralded death ray" announc- ed by the Englishman, H. Grindell. Matthews, last year, thereports con corning it are too vague to be ac' cepted as reliable, yet too persistent to be dismissed as visionary.
 Dr. Scott is an electrician of stand ing, however, having been for nine years a student under the late wiz ard of the General Electric company Dr. Charles P. Steinmetz, whose feats in making artificial thunder and lightning in his laboratory are undisputed.
 Regardless of the validity of Dr Scott's claims there is no doubt tha the near future will witness ths development of engines of destruc tion terrible beyond anything here tofore employed in warfare. A one inventor has declared, 'in th near future machine guns will b. seen only in museums"

OLD NOMEITE BACK FROM SIBERIA NEARLY
 MURDERED ON BOAT
(From Nome Nugget

d. Gross, former Nome tinsmith, who went to Siberia five years ago when it was made known that prospectors would not be molested, is back in Nome, but none know better than himself that he came pretty near going to a place where his residence would have been eter- nal. Two long axe cuts just above the temple on his head are the reminders of how near he was to being murdered.
 The substance of the story fol- lows:
 Gross had been trying to get away from Siberia for quite a while, it being, hesaid, quite impossible for a white man to get along with the Soviets any longer. The trouble in getting away for thepast two years was because the Cutter Bear had discontinued making relief trips outside of American waters and the Soviets did not figure that terrorisms would come to notice.
 To get around this high handed method of the authorities, Gross had a couple of Russian friends spread the propaganda that the Bear was to stop there this year. This worked fine, and when Gross boarded the little schooner Twin" to meet the Bear," the officials dared not stop him.
 After the arrival in the Teller roadstead, Gross found out that one of the two men he had on board with him was a lawbreaker and so he would not land him on American soil. For that reason he was. going to land him on the Big Diomede Island, on the Russ ian side of the boundary. But the Caucasian, whose name was Mosivak, did not like this program and start ed trouble.
 When imprisoned in the hold Mosivak got dold of some tools and started to cut into the bulk heads in an attempt to sink the ship. He was finally secured and bound to his bunk. Waiting for his chance when Gross was asleep, Mosiyak, getting free from his ropes, took an axe and in an at tempt z to Kill Gross, cut two slices out of his scalp. John Aaron of, the third man on the vessel broke into the play, taking after Mos 1 ivak with a rifle and shooting thru the partition twice, hitting him in the shoulder and preventing him from getting an automatic pistol which he knew was in the trunk | A coroner's jury was called at Teller ana looking over the boat made decision in about five min- utes, exonerating Aaaronoff, by a verdict of shooting in self defense. The body was buried at Teller with out ceremony.
 The Twin proceeded to Nome where four days later Gross receiv- ed medical attention by Dr. Welch.
