ALASKA RAILROAD ADOPTS NEW RULES
 SAFETY 0F PUBLIC
PASSENGERS WILL NOT BE PER- e MlTTED TO BOARD OR DlSEM. BARK UNTIL TRAIN COMES TO COMPLETE STOP

For the purpose of reducing the pos- sibility of personal injuries, and at the same time to avoid train delays, The Alaska railroad has adopted a set of rules followed generally by railroads lin the States, applicable while passen- ger trains are pulling into, standing by and leaving passenger stations.
 The danger involved in getting on and off moving trains has always been recognized, but it does not always cause people to wait until the train stops before doing either The Alas ka railroad, therefore, has issued in- structions to train crews providing that in no case shall anyone be al lowed to get off or on moving train. In other words, the train must be brought to a complete stop before any one will be allowed to get on or off.
 Another condition that involves con- siderable danger is that brought about by persons boarding a train to bid goodbye to friends, and remaining on

MORE ON NEW PLANE

go forward to the Interior immediate ly over the Alaska railroad.
 MT. Conradt stated to The Gateway this morning that the company, which is the second to enter the Interior field, now have five planes. Many Seward people are under the impress sion that this company is located on the baseball park in Fairbanks but that is incorrect for recently the com pany purchased a large farm on the Richardson highway just outside of Fairbanks which they converted into an ideal landing field. Modern hang CTS were also built.
 Joseph Crosson, who has been iden- tified with the company for several months, is aviator in charge and ac- cording to Messrs. Conradt and Don- aldson, he is one of the best conner cial fliers which has ever flown in the Territory. Recently he made the round-trip to Nome having as his pas- senger Col. James G. Steese, presi- dent of the Alaska Road Commission. While at Nome it developed prom inent mining man of that district, MT. Thompson, just missed connec- tions with the s. s. Victoria for Se- attle. He was permitted to accom- pany Colonel steese to Fairbanks in the plane and now, it is said, when he returns from the states, he will in the future come by way of Fairbanks and fly the remainder of the way in.
 MT. Conradt said the super-Swallow plane has carrying capacity of three passengers besides the pilot. Rain has no effect on the machine for the motor is of the enclosed type, serv- ing as protection from any kind of bad weather that may be encountered.

WHEN INDIANA
WAS YOUNG

There is a romantic fascination
about the past that has no cOun-
terpart in anything that we can
see, feel or experience as belong
ing to the present. 1t enters into
the charm of old paintings, old
furniture, old china, ETC., and par
ticularly into stories of day and
age that are gone. In his novel,
"Viola Gwyn" the popular author,
George Barr McCutcheOn, has
drawn a picture which re-creates
the romance and atmosphere of
Indiana in the early part of the
Nineteenth century, when Laf-
ayette, where most of the action
takes place, was a frontier town.
Round it is woven the love story
of girl who is lovely, even for
a McCutcheOn heroine, and MIR.
McCutcheOn is a master in select
ing attractive creatures of the
genus girl, American, young, for
his stories. We have secured this
novel in serial form and believe
that it will be vastly pleasing to
all readers of The Leader"

and Aransas Pass railroad company
be granted permission BY the inter-
state commerce commission 10 extend
its line from Falfurrias to Edinburg

The commission also recommended
that the application of the road, to
build from near Edinburg to Harlin-
gen be granted. II said the attor-
ney general Of Texas approved the
extension, that many bodies in the
Rio Grande Valley filed interven-
tions in favor of the application,
while the Missouri Pacific, 81. Louis,
Brownsville and Mexico railway com
pany, and the San Antonio Uvalde
and Mexico railway opposed the APP
plications.
Lengthy description Of the section

not only by the increase Of cultivated
land but by more intensive cultiva-

The recommendation state that
the population is great and rapidly
increasing. and the extensions will

DALLAS, Tex, March lS.-The
population OF Texas has increased
about 100000 in the last year, the
United States census bureau an
nounced in statement today. The
population on mex. July ! will be
5.3l2.66l. the bureau estimates. On
July /. 1925, it was 5,2l2,s2 and on
January !, 1920 it was 4,663 ,22S.
There are about 650.000 more
persons in the state now than there
were at the time Of the last gen
eral census January /, 1920.
The figures disclose q surprising
comparison between Texas and
Florida. Despite its great real es-
tate boom, Florida, according to
these figures, has increased 53,G1l,
only slightly more than half the
increase in Texes. The Florida fl
