quantity of each shipped over the railroad from the Seward dock
 During the calendar year 1925 the following shipments were made over the Alaska Railroad: 686 tons of dressed meats; 1252 tons of hay; AR tons of potatoes; 186 tons of butters 282 tons of eggs.
 These are Tverv impressive figures for the thinking farmer to consider, M. Smith believes, and it is his earn est belief. that much of this immense total ob zEoa1lmodities can be handled through aoc<,L farms and rancheS. .--
 Mr. Smith advertises.thesef factsfoI what they are worth to the progres- sive-thinking producers of the Terri tory along the lines of his ideas men toned in the first paragraph of this article, which is, as he clearly. states, that community that supports itself and is in a position to supply the needs of othe.' communities in the Territory is of far greater value to it than one that must ship in everything or almost everything that Itl needs. :,
 These progressive suggestions acc along the lines Of Mir. Smiths state ments of several days ago. IF which he pointed out that the future of the railroad depended entnelA upon the development of industries not now being given consideration ant whtch would, when pr0perlp organized, bring in many hundreds Of settlers and business men. As pointed oat before by MI. Smith, each man i'll the district of the A Iaska Railroad is worth so many dollars and cents each year in q revenue -bearing capacity, and if the population contiguous t3 the system is doubled the operating revenue would be doubled as well. If the road Is -ever to be. self susta nino and do the greatest good for the Fer ritory, it must be supplied swIth, local commodities and local passenger travel, he. stat e..
 MT. Smith's schemes are fal -reach- ing and delVeadeepiy into future pos abilities.

 Trainers, bookmaker,. toats and jockeys were numbered among those banned.

 Some horses were running without racing plates, and some were run shod in work horse shoes.
 Horses were pulled deliberately by jockeys, and others, apparently in ex- cellent condition, were sent to the post unfit to put forth their best ef forts.
 Batteries and drugs were used on the horses, and at least one winning horse was disqualified because he car ried five pounds less than the weight assigned him, trivial poundage in common use, but enough to decide the issue in most horse races
 A mere twist of the wrist'' actual ly is enough to "pull' horse. As the jockey sits, or stands, high up on the animals withers, with his arms l extended alongside the horses neck- q quarter turn of the wrist will suffice to hold the thoroughbred back enough to cause him to lose.
 Racing plates are tiny shoes weigh ing only a few ounces, just enough to protect the hGrse's feet, and each ad- ditional bit of weight is enough to keep the racer from putting forth his best efforts.
 A horse that may have run three days previously in excellent form can be reduced to the status of certain loser by giving him a big drink of water just before sending him to the starting post. A long galiop the night before a race will take so much

Believing that communities are self sustaining and that those which raise as much of local commodities as are required are more valuable assets to a railroad than those that ship i'll all of their produce, Noel w.

The service is expected to ultimately bring about the rehabilitation of Fort Gibbon as center for such work and to become a center of industrial train ing, social service and medical relief for the entire Interior.

SETTLING Of ROCK
CAUSED TEMBL0R
Relief From Pressure Of
Glacial Age Given as Reason
for New England Quake.

| Settling of the rock strata under
| lying the northeastern part of the
| United States was given by the Geo.
| logical Survey today as the cause of
the so-called St. Lawrence earthquake
of February, 1925, and which shook
| New England and the st. Lawrence
area at varying intervals between
July, 1924, and March, 1925.
The theory of the survey regarding
| the cause of the quake Is that the
Northeastern United States in the gla-
cial epoch. when much of the North
American continent lay buried under
| a great sheet of ice, was depressed or
| tilted toward the north and that since
the retreat of the ice the Northeastern
section of the country has nearly re-
covered its former position. Further
| possibility of quakes resulting from
earth and rock slippage Is seenlby the
survey, which said the recovery Is
not yet complete.
Covered 100000 Square Miles.
The st. Lawrence quake was noted
in an area of about a million square
| miles, extending from the northeastern
tip of the PROVENCE of Quebec west to
Chicago, a distance of SEQ miles and
from Sudbury. Ontario, to South
Carolina, a distance of 1900 miles.
AS the northern border of this re-
gion is the tract along the st.
| Lawrence that was most violently
shaken" the survey said, ''it can be
assumed that similarly large unin-
| habited area to the north was affected,
and as the Boston region at the sea.
shore was rocked almost as severely
as any other part of New England,
probably great area beneath the
Atlantic Ocean was shaken also. In
| other words, the shocks extended over
an: area of some 100000 square
miles"
One of the features Of the quake
was the loud sound or roar that pre-
coded the shock, noted generally over
| northern New England and New York
The sound was likened variously to
that OF distant thunder, or explosions.
| or rumbling motor trucks, or railroad
| trains, or distant winds.
The motion of the earthquake
throughout most of the area affected
| was horizontal or sideways. Loose
articles rocked back and forth and
houses, tall buildings and church
spires swayed. Floors seemed to move
in waves as the millions of cubic miles
of rock and earth slipped. The quake
have affected North America, the sur.
vey declared.
Radio Relieved Telephones.
Another feature was the use of
mans most modern invention for
transmitting thought through space,
the radio, which quickly treasured lis
teners within an area of hundreds
of miles of broadcasting stations after
telephone lines became choked with
traffic and telegraph lines were rem
dered incapable OF transmitting.
Investigators for the survey found
what they described as some interest
ing racial characteristics in their
search after information on the
quake. Descendants of the old New
England stock they found cool and
willing to give complete and truthful
information about what happened,
even though many Of them had ex-
perienced their first earthquake.
French and Italians they found will
ing to dilate on their experiences.
