ANNUAL SAVING
 OF $2,OOO,OOO IS
 MADE BY ROADS
DATA GATHERED BY A. R. c. SHOWS HUGE SAVINGS TO
 ALASKANS BY WORK.
ENORMOUS TRAP FIG
Report Reveals Increased Tourist Travel During the 1924
 Season.

Data collected by the Alaska Road Commission indicates that in excess of $2,000,000 is saved annually by Alaskans on transportation of over land freight, due entirely to the con- struction of road by the Commis- sion, according to statement issued from local headquarters, says the Jul neau Empire of recent date. Tn addi- tion these roads and trails have open ed to development areas in all sec tions of the Territory.
 It is extremely doubtful if the vol ume of freight moved annually would have been transported without the roads, it was pointed out, and the indirect loss which would thus have been occasioned by the restriction of output and development of the roads if such roads were non-exist- ent cannot be estimated.
 Improved roads, said the state ment, has brought about better and more economical means of transpor- tation The use of automobiles was made practicable and it is increas- ing rapidity. At the present time approximately 90 per cent of the traffic on the main wagon roads is handled by motor, which has great ly increased the cost of road main tenance. The use of tractors for drawing freight, particularly on sled roads of the Interior, is one of the valuable new developments.
 Last Years Work.
 The work of the Commission dur ing the fiscal year ending June 30 last, it was said, was largely direct ed to extending the general rehabili- tation begun in 1920 to trails and roads in remote regions of the Ter ritory This gradual rehabilitation, starting on the more important pro- jects, has now reached trails extend ing to all inhabited parts of Alaska.
 The actual work performed last year was summarized as follows:
 New construction 4619 miles wa gon road; 45 miles sled road; 18S miles trail; and 1O40 linear feet of bridges of over 60-foot span. I'm provement P miles wagon road re- constructed; 63 miles wagon road graveled; 45 miles Nome-Sheldon Tramway opened for traffic; 3 miles Tolovana Tram reconstructed and innumerable small bridges and cul- verts rebuilt; Maintenance, 9821a miles wagon road; 52 miles tram way; 7O2A miles sled road; 416S miles permanent trail; and 472 miles temporary Jagged trail Total for all classes of work, 67S9 miles con- sisting of 1113A miles of wagon road, 100 miles of tramway, 747A miles of sled road, 1856 miles of perma- nent trail, and 472 miles of temper

RECENT TESTS
University Of Chicago
Scientist Tells
of Experiment

CHICAGO. Jan. o.-(By The Asso
clated Pressl-Further credence to
Einstein's theory OF relatively was
given here last night when Professor
Albert A.. Nicholson. scientist at the
University Of Chicago, asserted in a
lecture that his most recent expert
ments had furnished Einstein an,
other striking confirmation.
While he preceded the announce
ment of his finding with the state
ment that they were prevalent. Pro-
fesscr Nicholson declared he believed
hat additional experiments which he
will make would further support Elm
stein.
The theory was tested by the
Ether Drift experiment. the latter
also being proven. Professor Michel.
son said, in which two beams OF light
were thrown by mirrors IN opposite
directions through a $500 foot vac.
uum tube. The two beams arrived
at their starting place at various dis
placements. which indicated there
had been an impeachment In the We.
locity of light. One Of the principal
objects TO be determined in the ex-
periments was whether the motion
of the earth influenced the velocity
of light.
Had the two beams come home at
the Identical time then It would have
been probable hat some of Elm
STEMS theory would have been diff
cult to explain.

Preference Over

WASHINGTON, Jan. g.
Having accepted the Under
wood private operation bill
as a substitute for the Norris
government operation plan,
the senate drove forward to-
day in a final effort to get the long
pending question of the disposition
Of Muscle Shoals into conference
with the house.
The Underwood easur was ap-
proved owe the Norris plan by a
vote of ~ to 81 but with several
substitutes for It now pending;
leaders on both sides of the chamber
had some doubt that this bill would
constitute the final expression OF
the senate or the subject.
Senator Norris. Republican. Ne
braska, charged before the vote was
taken that the administration was
using the Underwood bill solely as
q vehicle for the defeat OF his own
government operation plan and in
tended TO drop it like a hot brick"
ullCt us pni was 0fAcdlcu+
on the vote, 80 Republicans. In
Guiding most of the administration

posed 1t. Immediately after the
vote a new substitute was put for
ward by Senator Wadsworth, Re-
publican. New York, proposing a
presidential commission to deter
mine what should be done with
Muscle Shoals, its decision to be
final subject to presidential ap-
prevail.
~enother pending substitute by
SSenator Jones, Republican. Wash

a presidential commission TO re-
port recommendations to tho new
congress.
Whatever measure finally is pass
ed by the senate-and leaders TX
pect final action this week or early
