timber contracts that are offered to those who might engage in the utilization of timber suitable for pulp-wood.
 On two propositions, we disagree with MT. Free. It would be not only unwise but amount to failure to keep the faith if the Government should abandon the Alaska Railroad at this time and use the roadbed as basis for a cross Territory highway. The Alaska Railroad was built as a devel- opment measure and not for the purpose of making a profit for the Federal Treasury. It was built be- cause the Government policy of re- striction, the extremely rigid con- servation laws and regulations ap- piled to the Territory, stopped rail- road construction by private enter prise. It was up to the Government which owned nearly all the natural resources of the Territory, to do that which it had prevented citizens from doing. 1t is years too soon to say that the Alaska Railroad will not perform the mission for which 1t was built-the development of Inte- rior Alaska.
 Further, we do not agree with the suggestion that either the Bureau of Public Roads or the Alaska Road Commission should be eliminated from the situation here. Each is per- forming with excellent efficiency greatly needed work, and we cannot see any conflict in their operations. The Bureau of Public Roads is an organization which builds standard roads, using money that comes, di- rectly or indirectly, thru the Naticn- al Forests. The Alaska Road Con- mission is an organization which practically makes its own rules and regulations regarding the character of the roads, trails, etc., that it con- structs. It is peculiarly we'll organ ized to act in an emergency without first reporting to Washington and there is no restraint from there The Territorial Highway Commission CO., operates readily and efficiently with each organization. We do not agree that the time has arrived for the elimination of either organization from activities in Alaska. All we need is more money for road construction in all parts of the Territory-more money for each of the road building organizations.-Jun Empire.

DECREASE A. R. R. DEFICIT

No better argument could be made in answering Congressman Free, rel alive to the Alaska Railroad situa tion. than the facts and figures com piled by Noel W. Smt1, general manager of the railroad in question: And in the end, accurate data such as Mr. Smith will present at Wash ington, is the only kind of informa- rion the Washington committees will want to hear. The only difference between Cong Free and MT. Smith, ir speaking of facts relating to the Alaska Railroad, is that Cong. Free spent not more than week travel ing over the road, including stopOverS. He returned to the coast via the Richardson Highway. On the other hand, Mr. Smith is practical rail- road man and has been "thru the mill," who talks little but accomplish es much. The following figures are but few which he will present at Washington next month. It is the most heartening message, Alaskans residing along the railroad belt, have had for some time.
 For the fiscal year ending June, 1925, a reduction has been made of approximately one-half million dol lars in the deficit for the mainten- ance and operation, in comparison with the 1924 deficit; for the past fiscal year the deficit was s1,291, ,566 and in the fiscal year of 1924, it was s1,736,566. The first three months of this fiscal year earnings have in- creased SASHA and expenses decreas- ed $156,937, making decreased def icit of $205,151.

 He pointed out that potatoes are rotting in the ground in the Tanana Valley of Alaska because they can- not stand the prohibitive rates to outside markets-While the whole country is in the grip of short potato crop, with prices soaring to unprecedented levels.
 To illustrate, he cited actual comparative rates, obtained from the Alaska Railroad, the Alaska Steamship company, the Admiral Line and the Northern Pacific rail- road These showed that the Alaska railroad rate on car load lots of potatoes from Tanana valley to Seward, distance of 400 miles, is $24.5O a ,ton-as compared with the Northern Pacific rate from Se- attle to Spokane, also 400 miles, of SIS a ton.
 The steamer rate from Seward to Seattle, 1850 miles, he said, is $3O,6O a ton-while the rate from Seattle to New York, via the Pan- anna Canal, a distance of 1000 miles, is SIS a ton.
 Ballaine explained that Scotland, Sweden, Norway, Finland and the Baltic provinces of old Russia are in practically the same attitudes as Alaska and are under identical eli matic conditions.
 Data Given.
 "These countries" he said, "sup- port a population of 27,500,000 on the basic industries of 27,50O,00O on fish and lumber. Alaska contains four times as much tillaIble land, three times as much forest area, fisheries equally prolific and in- comparably greater mineral re- sources of coal, gold, copper, tin, and oil. Alaska can support 50,O00,- 900 people as comfortably as these nations support 27,5O0,OOO He denied Congressman Frees as- sertion that al Alaska coal is of the Ignite variety, saying much of ii is high-grade bituminous, equal to the best of Pennsylvania and West | Virginia.
 This, he added, was proved by tests of a naval coal commission in 1921. Since then, he concluded, new discoveries in the Nenana coal fields have disclosed a high-grade coal twelve miles east of the government railroad, pronounced to be many times the quality of the best of Vancouver Island coal.

ALASKA RATE EPROPOSED BY
 JOHN BALLAENE
PROPOSAL TO TEAR UP GOVERN- MENT RAILS BITTERLY AT TACKED-WEALTH AND POPU- LAYTON FORECAST.
JOHN E. BALLAINE TO THE FORE
Founder of Seward Addresses State Press Association; Points
 Out Few Facts.

Recently there appeared in the news colmuns of the Gateway a brief text of John E. Ballaine's address be- fore the recent State Press Associa- tion at the Seattle Chamber of Con- merce. Mir. Ballaine's speech in it's entirety as published in recent is- sue of the Seattle Post-Inteuigencer follows:
 Alaska development is being throt- tied by inordinately high freight rates, John E. Ballaine declared last night addressing the King and Kitsap sec ton of the State Press Association at the Chamber of Commerce.
 He bitterly attacked the proposal of Congressman Arthur M. Free of California, that the government should tear up the rails of the Alaska Rail- way and abandon the road, asserting that it would have been just the same if such policy had been adopt ed toward the Northern Pacific and Union Pacific when those railroads first opened up the wilderness of the West
 Those who see Alaska today as nothing more than an undeveloped country and cannot vision its fu- ture," he declared, fare in the same class as the opponents of transcon- tinental railroad construction sixty years ago.
 Great State. Alaska will be built into a great and popular state, throbbing with life and populous cities, when it's means and costs of transportation give it the same opportunities of development as the territories of the West and Northwest enjoyed

NEW RADIO SYSTEM

What promises to mark an epOchal advance in the development of radio is the newly perfected "Multiplex system" of transmission, whereby several messages may be sent sim ultaneously upon single wave length.
 Successful demonstrations of the system by the inventor, John Hays Hammond, jr, were recently re- ported from Gloucester, Mass, where they were witnessed by officers of the United States Navy.
 It is we'll known that several tele- phone or telegraph messages may be sent simultaneously over the same wire, but heretofore radio broadcast ing stations have been forced to use different wave lengths, spaced at considerable intervals, to avoid in reference.
 The new system will greatly in- crease the number of stations that may work at the same tie, a result greatly to be desired, as there are already more stations in operation than may be accommodated were all to send simultaneously
 In view of the success which has attended experiments in other phases of radio development, it seems not improbable that someone will one day find a means of conQuering static, which has so far baffled all ef- forts for it's complete eradication.
