JUNEAU, March 26-In a letter from President Coolidge to Governor Bone on the occasion of his retirement published yesterday, Coolidge said:
 Your characteristically generous words for your successor as Governor pleased me, and am glad to have your judgement so heartily in favor of the choice that has been made. I know you're unwilling under circumstances, to take another term of governor and desire to recognize the strong de- mand for a governor resident in Al aska I cannot too cordially thank you for your fine, faithful and conscien- tions service from the day you went to Alaska as governor.
 "I know how much confidence the late Warren G. Harding reposed in you and I wish you to know my own sen timent and judgement coincided with his in this regard.
 Il feel hopeful that a periOr of high ly gratifying development for Alaska is not very distant and when it comes I shall always feel your wise and ef-- ficient administration was entitled to much credit in making it possible"

motives have been in operation on the Chinese Eastern for the past five years.
 About 5000 American cars like the locomotives, were held back in 1920. A certain number were taken by the Bolshevists, but the registry for 1924 shows that the railway still has about 2.5OO of them. The total value of this rolling stock is near. ly 20,000,000 gold rubles.
 When the Imperial Russian gov, ernment fell, control of the Chinese Eastern was taken over by the In. terallied Technical Board, compris- ing representatives of the great pow. CTS. The interallied board consider ed the Chinese Eastern to be a Rus sian railway, and the American To- comotives to be the property of the Russian railways, tempofarily at the disposal of the Chinese Eastern. The Soviet authorities are now en- deavoring to get possession of the locomotives and cars in question.

fBY Associated Pressl

SEATTLE, March 26.-Breeding eX periments intended to double the size and weight of the Alaska reindeer by crossing them with woodland caribou. will be conducted at Nunivak island. this summer, said J. l.. Palmer, head of the biological survey at Nome en he prepaired a pamphlet on the rein deer industry.
 The bureau plans to increase the weight of reindeer from 150 pounds to three hundred pounds. Fifteen car ibou bulls were taken from Kokrines down the Yukon to Nunivak island at which place small herd of reindeer for use in cross breeding, is being kept.
 Palmer declared another problem of the reindeer industry was the study of lichens and reindeer moss, the main food of the deer in winter. It will take fifteen to thirty years for the de- velOpment of the new breed, and the bureau plans to discover some meth cd to hasten the growth of the ami. mals and discover some substitute for their present food.
 The biological station at Nome will be moved to Fairbanks this coming summer to study the reindeer develop ment jointly with the Agricultural College.
