 BLE-ENDER TRAIL

Thunderous blasts, re-echoing with resonant sound from the noun tains surrounding Nuka Bay, is not huge landslides, nor is it the rever- berating booms made by icebergs breaking off the scores of glaciers in the bay; nor is it mountains tumb- ling in, but it is caused by mankind, at the present moment by the Alas ka Road Commission crew which has been in the district for the last few weeks constructing short two-mile double-ender trail. Many newcom- CTS arriving in the bay for the first time are greeted by the blasts, caus- ed from the powder monkeys work. ing on the rock cliffs, blowing out pathway, which sound, reflecting from the valleys, mountains and the gorges, brings to mind the fairy tale of Rip Van Wrinkle sleeping on the top of Mount CatskilI, amidst the up- roar of the dwarfs playing at ten pins.
 To foreman, J. Moore, in charge of the small crew of eight men, much praise is deserved for the efficient and workmanlike manner in which the trail work has proceeded. Also to chef Mike Holmes, who presides over the destinies of the camp, giv- ing out good substantial food to the crew of hardy workmen. Trail work was begun July II and will be fully completed this month, approximately | August 26, it is stated.
 From the beach the road winds in land, following the Nuka river for g 1 distance of about two miles WitI few exceptions, an easy grade covers the entire distance, which ends neal the Alaska Hills Mines Corporation mine. The trail is amply wide

HELPING CREATE A DEFICIT

The big postal deficit reported to Congress last year by Postmaster General New is partly due to the gov ernment unfair competition with the taxpaying printer in the production and sale of printed envelopes. Not so much because the government sells these envelopes at price lower than what the printer must pay for the stock, but because they are printed and delivered free at any burg or ham, let in the country or it's possession, and because part of the time of the postal employees in the smaller towns is taken up by soliciting orders for these envelopes.
 The envelopes are manufacturer and printed for the government by a firm in Dayton, Ohio. No one can reasonably find fault with such an arrangement. But any citizen in Al falfa, Louisiana; Prouts Neck, Maine; Ashford, Arizona; yea, even at Dil- lingham, Alaska Kaikiki, Hawaii; Toa Alta, Porto Rico, or Paga Pago, Samoa, may go to the postoffice and order 500 envelopes with corner cards printed free, and have them deliv- cred at the price charges the citizen of Dayton, Ohio. In other words, the government not only competes with the envelope maker and the printer in the production and printing of the envelopes, but it adds to their bur den as taxpayers and business men by giving these envelopes the privi 1ege of free delivery through the Uni ted States mails.
 We have not taken the time to fig ure out how much this free delivery adds to the postal deficit-we will lei some one fond of mathematical stunts have this pleasure-but we are sure the amount must be considerable. The printer, as a natural consequence o1 his calling, must obtain his living by the production of printing. When tho

enough for double enders or pack horses to pass one another and by next spring should be well packed down. An unusual amount of rock work has been encountered on this particular bit of road work, which when it is considered the men have been at work only short time, calls for unstinted praise to this capable road crew. It is stated from Nuka Bay the crew will be moved up to the Kenai lake region, in the vicinity of Mile g, where a new trail will be cut through.

government, on the one hand, direct ly competes with him in the produc- tion of this printing, and on the other hand accords its own product privi- lege not granted any other product. at the same time as this privilege necessitates penalties on other print ed matter going through the mails, the printer may be said to get it both ways.
 In the name of fair play and sound business principles the mail users of the country should demand of Con- gress that all mail matter sent thru the mails should be treated alike. No mail matter should be sent free thru the mails.
 Is there any wonder that the post master general reports that his de partment faces an annual deficit when one considers the tons and tons of stuff franked free through every post office in the land.

C. M. c. SIX MONTHS
EARNINGS S46,O82,

Alfred P. Sloan Jr., president, Cen
eral Motors Corporation, states:
Our earnings for the first six
months were $46,OS2, 236. This is
after taxes and depreciation. After
deducting $3,S19,771 for preferred
dividends this equals $50 per share
on outstanding common stock. Total
earnings applicable to dividends for
the corresponding period in 1924 were
S27 ,C5G,990; after deducting preferred
dividends this was equivalent to $4.57
per share on outstanding common
stock.
General Motors equity in earnings
of Fisher Body Corporation and Cen
eral Motors Acceptance Corporation
in excess of dividends received for
the first six months was S4."S0,SG3,
equivalent to S3 cents per share on
General Motors outstanding common
stock.
Cash and government securities as
of June 80, 1925, were S139,375, 062
as compared with $50 $50, 452 for the
same date year ago. There were
no liabilities except current ac-
counts.
This is the most satisfactory state
ment, both with respect to earnings
and general position that General
Motors Corporation has ever made.
A detailed statement will be prompt

Pixies Peak and Mountains
Climbed With Ease on
Long Tour.

A car making a 7600rnile trip
through all kinds of country and then
needing only $3.50 worth of repairs
and greasing may seem impossible,
but that is the record set by a Dodge
owned by A. G. Pickard. There were
no repairs made on the car during
the trip, he says.
Mr.. Pickard, Andrew st. John and
Frank Trawalter left San Antonio sew
eral months ago to visit the western
states. They followed the northern
route to FL Paso and Nthe Grand Can
yon and California. From San Fran
cisco, the three men went to Seattle
and Vancouver, British Colombia.
They spent some time in that district
OF Canada and then started their re-
turn trip by the way of Spokane,
Washington. The Dodge went to
Butte and Yellowstone National Park,
thence to Cody and Denver.
One of the feats made by the car
was climbing Pixies Peak without hav-
ing the carburetor adjusted for the
climb. The car made the grade where
more expensive ones were stalled, he
states.
From Pixies Peak. they drove into
northern New Mexico and the Pan
handle, then to the Alamo City.
The car performed perfectly during
the entire trip. Mr.. Pickard says.

KOREAN MISSIONARIES
USE OVERLAND AUTOS

Recent interesting visitors at the
Willys-Overland factory in Toledo
were Rev. Walter G. Erdman and Rev.
III. A. Rhodes, missionaries to Korea
for the Presbyterian Board of Foreign
Missions, reports the San Antonio
Overland company. At the Toledo
plant each took delivery of an Over
land four-cylinder touring car, which
will be used during the remainder of
their stay in the United States and
will then be shipped to Korea for use
in that country, after they have re-
turned to their respective stations.
Rev. Erdman is located at Taiku,
Korea, where he has made his head
quarters for the past is years. Rev.
Rhodes is stationed at the Chosen
Christian College at Seoul, where he
has served for IL years.
In discussing the development OF
automobile transportation in Korea
Rev. Erdman stated when he first ar
rived in that country the natives Of
South Korea transported all goods on
the backs Of coolies or pack animals.
They apparently had no knowledge OF
even the first principles OF vehicular
traffic. There were practically no
roads in Korea.
Since the Japanese occupation of
that country, however, good roads have
been constructed and there are now
several hundred motor cars in the
country, including a large number of
Overland cars, which have been placed
in service through J. H. Morris, ener-
getic pioneer WHY'S Overland distribu-
tor in Seoul.
