 RAILROAD
Manager Noel W. Smith Outlines Plans for Flu
 ture Development.

Seattle. Feb.-Eleven million dollars more for the develop ment of the Alaska Railway, to be spent in the next six years, for the purpose of bringing down operating and maintenance costs to meet the revenues of the road, is the program announced here this morning by Noel w. Smith. new general manager of the system.
 Other important moves in fu- ture development of the Alaska road made public by Smith are as follows:
 First. A s2, 500, ,o0o track ex- tension to the Alaska Matanuska coal mine.
 Secord. The withdrawal from reservation for the railway of tive-mlle strip of land on each side of the right of-way, which has been returned to the pubic domain under the Department Of the Interior and thrown open 10 homesteading. This opens new lands to settlement along $50 miles of the railway right up to the tracks.
 Third. A bill is now before Congress to provide more liberal rights to reindeer herders on the public domain with view to the further encouragement of this growing industry.
 New equipment for the railway in 1925 will be confined to gas cars and locomotives, Manager Smith says, and until the need is more pressing nothing further will be done-to build a new gov ernment hotel at Mckinley Ma tional Park.

WHEN GOVERNMENT SAVES

Far from hurting business,
the governments economy has

business" says the New York

in reduction of several hundred
million dollars a year in federal
taxes; it promises to bring about
tax reduction of $500 900, 900
or $500, 100000 more next year.
When the government saves
money it does not mean that the
money is not spent. What it
does mean is that, instead of
being spent by officials to keep
unnecessary bureaucrats in UNI
productive jobs, the money is
left in the hands Of the man who
earns II. and he may decide him
self how it shall be spent"
The president will find the
people behind him in his deter
mination to administer national
affairs in an economical and
business like manner. State
officials can follow the lead of

Robt. Skinner of Baudette, was

to visit with his brother, B. P.
Skinner who is in charge of the
banks affairs here. He is at the
head of a string of several banks
in the northern part of the state.
j. c. Shepard, Highway De-

here this week making prelimin-
airy arrangements for the build

the two bridges at Rutledge is
now going ON rapidly and the
work will start here in about
four weeks.
The Farmer unites with the
many friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Omar Forsyth in extending con-
gratulations on their matrimonial
alliance which took place some
weeks ago. The bride was for
merly Mrs. Libby Messenger.
Both are old and highly respect

where they will continue to make
their home.
John Babirz, fourteen year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Babirz
of Norman township, had his
right foot nearly cut off in a

foot. The operation was quite
complicated as several tendons
which had been severed, had to
be united and sewed together.

Tuesday evening was the largest

treasurer. The report of the
public examiner however, was
not available, and consequently
no information could be given as
to the present condition of the

it will doubtless be given pub

it. The main feature ofsthe

tute the local community are
intensely dependent on one an
other. When we buy our merch-
andise from out-of town con-
Germs, we take that much bust
ness away from local business
firms. If enough business is
withdrawn from them, they'll
eventually have to quit. Then
the small town would shriyel up.
Clerks and laborers and trades
men would have to move away.
That would directly affect the
value of our homes and farms.
Then, who would pay the taxes
that support our public institu-
tons, build and maintain our
streets and roads and pay the
interest on public Indebtedness
already incurred? Our self-in-
terest, the safety of our property
investments demand that we
trade at home, everything being
equal = quality and prices - and
support our local business men.
If anyone thinks he can refute
this argument, we will give a
years subscription to the
American for a logical argument
in favor of trading with the
mail order house.
