TOO SOON FOR DIVIDENDS

Representative Free of California, returning from an Alaskan trip, advises that the Government rail road from Seward to Fairbanks be abandoned because it shows an annual deficit of $2,OO0,OOO. Does MT. Free, or any other critic of the road, assume that those who built it and who know Alaska ever imagined, in their fondest dreams, that it would pay immed- lately? It should be borne in mind that the last spike was driven but a little more than three years ago,
 This paper does not venture to sing the saga of that memorable con- struction. It is generally known that the building of the road entailed an epic strife against nature and natural obstacles frozen tundra swamps, rock barries and mountain passes. The Susitna bridge was con spicuOus among a score of great engineering triumphs, since it's main span is 5O4 feet in length,- to cheat the river when the ice goes out. The potential territory served by the line embraces 100000 square miles and Alaska is a new land, virgin, awaiting development. Three years are yesterday. It is too soon to think of Federal dividends, and it would be folly to rip up the rails, destroying an investment of $56,OOO,OOO. Give them time to grow up there.
 If, as Representative Ere, sug- gests, the line were dismantlcd, how long would it be before the need for another road would arise, with costly material to be freighted all the way from Seattle, nearly 2,OOO

miles? The Representative, for all his knowledge of the North, cannot pretend to know. But as the years go it would be soon, you may de- pend on that.
 The history of the railroad is one of pioneering. It is railroad which hazards it's investment on an appraisal of the future of the country, and does not and cannot expect to pay at the beginning. Settlers and towns do not beckon to it, in a manner of speaking, but it beckons to them. Since this has been the common experience of railroad builders, we may well as sume that it will be the experience of the Government in it's Alaskan enterprise. (fortland Oregonian

MANY SCENIC DRIVES
AROUND SAN ANTONIO

Probably no other city in the world
enjoys such wonderful scenic drives
as does San Antonio. The Scenic
Loop, distance of approximately ~
miles. carries the traveller through
army camps, miles of large Texas
ranches. upon which can be seen the
pure bred cattle and fine herds.
Follows the winding road through
the tall trees, growing beside the
bubbling streams where the bass are
thick. the tourist can close his eyes
and imagine the years passed when
the pioneer broke the way open for
civilization.
San Antonio. the second oldest city
in America, sprung from an Indian
village and when it was connected
with the rest Of the world, il began
TO grow. As the year passed it also
modernized and is now the metropolis
Of the great Southwest.

San Antonio is in the heart of a
large district in South, West and part
of East Texas and is the natural
trade center for this section. Needs
of this rich territory are bought in
San Antonio at a better price and
better terms than any other trade cen

San Antonio is preparing to enter
tain her customers and friends from
South, West and East Texas during
the coming week. Citizens will wei
come their guests from the territory.
They will entertain them here, escort
them through n growing wholesale and
jobbing district, show them their
wares and attractions and get ac-
quainted with them personally.
Personal contact will do more than
any other one thing toward strength
ening the friendship and trade coop
Grafton between San Antonio and her
trade territory.
There are 100000 people in San
Antonio's immediate trade territory,
radius of $50 miles.
Way back in the frontier days, per.

all trade relations. But San Antonio
has grown rapidly. So fast has her

is in such quantities that goods are
shipped to foreign markets.
Larger demands. Mr.. O'Hara said,
will justify a development Of the lands
now lying idle and will go further By
opening the field of manufacturing.
The port, he said, will have direct
influence on this latter development,
and he predicts a time, within The
very near future, when the raw mate
rial of the state will be turned into
the finished product by Texas fac
tories. This will be practicable, he
said, largely because of the ready
outlet to foreign markets.
The nearest markets and the ones
that will be reached first through the
new port, Mr.. O'Hara said, are in
Mexico. Central America and the
West Indies.
Among ports that will soon be d.
rectly connected with Corpus Christi,
he said, are the harbOr in the Laguna
del Madre on the coast Of Tamaulipas
and the Bay of Soto La Marina at
the mouth Of the Rio CarOna from
which a great territory in Mexico can
be reached that is rich in lumber, min
erals. asphalt, coal, skins and other
products.
NEW FREIGHT SERVICE.
In Central America there are the
ports Of PrOgresO on tie north OF 1u-
catan. COrosal on the east Of Yucatan,
and Puerto BarrOs from which the
trade Of Guatemala is accessible.
In the West Indies, Mr.. O'HarG
said, are the ports of Havana, Matan.

tiago, and others in Jamaica, thu
Dominican Republic. Haiti, Porto
Rico. and as far south as the port OF
Spain in Trinidad.
Officials Of the new port, he said,

CITY OF BEVERLY
FIGURES IN COURT
Contractor Enters Suit For Coilec-
ton OF Bills.

A suit brought by Louis j. Selling,
of Red Bank, against the City of
Beverly, to recover sums due on
three contracts for setting curbs was
opened before Judge Jess and jury
at the Mount Holly Court House on
Tuesday, but was not concluded, a
mistrial being declared in order that
legal points connected with the con-
troversy may be first cleared up.
The claims were contested by ex-
Mayor Thomas Lee, an intervening
defendant, representing taxpayers.
The contention is that the contracts
are illegal because awarded by City
Council without competition and
were let seriatim in order to evade
the $4,000 limit fixed by statute for
non-competitive contracts.
The bills, upon which suit were
brought are three in number, all re-
lating to setting of curbs on Warren
street and placing radius curbs at
intersecting corners, and are for $431,
$2O5.4O and S206.63. The work was
done in 1921 and the defence claims
that it was all one job. but was Civ
en- in sections. This is one of several
suits that have arisen in connection
with improvements on Warren street,
and others relating to contracts for
paving and guttering.
Counsel in the case are as follows:
Charles B. Alling, Red Bank, for
Selling; v. Claude Palmer, Mount
Holly, for the City of Beverly, and
Francis j. Smith, Beverly, for Lee.
