KEEP UP
 RAILROAD
Supreme Folly to Aban. don or Not Maintain,
 Says Chamberlain.

Washington, Dec. 3.-Declaring that the resources of Alaska have only been scratched, former Senator George E. Chamberlain; who had charge of the Alaska Railroad bill when it passed the Senate, asserted today that it would be an act of SUI preme folly to abandon the road or to fail to keep it up along the lines of General Manager Noel w. Smith, who points out the need of replacing the wooden piIing and other flimsy structures with masonry and other permanent improvements.
 Everyone knew when the road was built that it would not be and could not be a paying venture in the near future, said Chamberlain. Everyone realized, however, that Alaska is a great mineral storehouse and that eventually there would be industrial agricultural and other development equaling the mineral output, declared Chamberlain.

 The princes next trip was during the latter part of 1923, when he went to his ranch near Calgary, All berta, travelling an an ordinary vOy- ager on the steamship Empress of France. He went directly to the ranch and after several weeks sail ing for home on the same ship, main taining his incognito as Lord Rem frew until he arrived in London.
 What was perhaps the most pleas ant trip yet made by the Prince of ted States, taken primarily to wit ness the international polo matches between the teams representing the United States and England. The heir to the throne attempted to tra- vel incognito, but he was the Prince of Wales everywhere and to every body. Making his home at the Bur- den residence on Long Island, the most formal event of his stay in America was his visit to Washing ton to lunch with and pay his res poets to President and Mrs. Cool idge And even that was informal, as presidential luncheons and recep- tions to royal visitors go, for there were no guests. On that occasion the prince spent two months on the American continent, all of which was in the United States with the eXcep- tion of a few days spent at his Al berta ranch.
 national polo matches the prince wit messed the first defeat of Epinard, the French thoroughbred, attended the races frequently during his stay, made several sightseeing tours of New York City, experienced ride in the subway and was guest of hon. or at numerous dinners and dances. He also made a short visit to De- troit, where he was the guest of Hen ry Ford, and to Chicago to make a tour of the stockyards.
 The prince went to America on the steamship Berengaria and returned on the Olympic. One of the souve- nirs of that trip sent to the prince from America was a book containing 61,12O newspaper clippings of his ac- tivities while in the United States.
