mechanics are the owners.
The propeller blade Is attached
TO the front Of the sled. The chief
objection to its use is the wind,
which Is driven back into the faces
of the sledders.
Use of the combination has been
confined to country roads so far,
because of fear Of getting into
heavy traffic on the downtown
streets, but crowds of spectators
have been drawn to the suburbs to

AT the end OF the war, which,
brought realization OF the ideal OF our
people to live united as an independent
state he said, Our government was
raced with eyer-growing difficulties. OF
which those OF n financial order took
precedence. Considerable credits
amounting to several billions Of dinarS
had to be devoted to reconstruction
of the railroads and restoration OF the
rolling stocks destroyed during the
war.
The economic situation of the coun-
try bore an unfavorabIe aspect. The
railroad system, public utilities, build
ings. bridges and practically all state
owned material. had been devastated.
Yet foreign financial aid was not
Forthcoming. and the PREPARATION prob

came necessary to proceed by our own

devastated regions.

VIM. E. THOMPSON DEAN EDITORS,
 DIED SUNDAY

FAIRBANKS, Jan. LP)-William Fentress Thompson, aged 62 years, died in St. Joseph's Hospital early today of pneumonia. Death was unex- pected as he was at his desk yester- day.
 MT. Thompson, who was editor of the Fairbanks News-Miner and presi- dent and manager of the Panama Pub- fishing Company, came to the Klondike via the Edmonton trail in 1898. He leaves a widow, Nell Maroony Thomp- son, three children, William 12, Rich ard 10 and Beulah Marion, z; and two sisters, Mrs. Harry Parrish of Grand Rapids, Mich, and Mrs. E. G. Tennant, of Yakima.

 MT. Free Mistaken"
 When Congressman Arthur M. Free suggested recently that we pull up the rails and make a highway of the Alaska Railroad for the fiscal speeding the development of that sec tion of Alaska now served by the railroad, which, he said, begins no where and. ends nowhere, and serves no useful purpose he displayed sur prising ignorance of the Alaska situ- ation, of railroading and of highway transportation. He posted as he would have the people believe, or that he has been indulging in deliberate misrepre- sentation or both.
 "The charge for carrying freight on the Alaeska Railroad for the fiscal year 1925 amounted to O48 cents per ton miles, including maintenance. The approximate cost on highway-a hard-surfaced one on which five-ton trucks can be used-is 30 cents per ton mile, and this does not include maintenance. Surely Congressman Free does not expect the people of Alaska or the people of any other sec tion of the Nation to believe him when he declares, in effect, that high. way transportation would be more helpful to a pioneer country than rail road transportation? Congressman Free was in Alaska less than a week He had insufficient time in which to formulate correct opinion or obtain correct data or information
 Must Await Profits
 "The history of the railroad is one OI pioneering. It IS the railroad which hazards it's investment on an appraisal of the future of the coun try, and it does not and cannot be ex pected to pay at the beginning. The Alaska Railroad has been the means of opening the coal fields or Alaska which never would have been devel oped by wagon roads, and this coal is essential to the development of the country. Without Alaska coal at a reasonable price Alaska may as well abandon any hope of industrial prog ress."

q KlI] 3 .'' FA TERRITORY HIT BY PUBLISHER gt
isOURDoUGH EDITOR OF ANcHo- 5 BRACE TAKES UP CHARGE FOR FAR AND FRUITFUL NORTH

Alaska is not drain on the Gov. lernment of the United States, in the opinion of Bernard M. Stone, two listed editor of the Anchorage (Alas- ka) Times. . On the distinct and emphatic con. trary, Alaska is paying it's own way, and doing it promptly and we'll, ac cording to Stone, who has been a newspaper man all over Alaska for more than twenty years.
 Editor Stone is in San Francisco on his biennial vacation, but he simply had to blow off steam yesterday, and here is how he did it:
 Alaska has a great future, altho' she is having an uphill fight, consid. ering the fact that a number. of Con. gressmen and Senators, some of whom have not even visited the Territory believe that Alaska is just so much waste land and simply show ground Nevertheless, the outlook is encourag ing.
 Agriculture Is Second
 Contrary to the opinion which gen erally prevails with regard to what Alaska needs to increase her popula- tion and for the betterment and ad vancement of the Territory, believe agriculture is, next to mining the sol ution to these problems. I believe that the Government is making mis take in that it should encourage the immigrant in manner similar to that in which the Canadian government has assisted her farming pioneers. The Government of the United States should appropriate large sum o1 money for the sole purpose of induc ing settlers along the right of way o1 the Alaska Railroad.
 Alaska can produce nearly all the food supplies now imported from the States. If this is done, it will keeI in Alaska an annual outlay of $4,000,- 1000 which is now spent in outside markets. Steps have been taken by Dr. c. c. Georgeson, head of the Unit ed States Government experiment stations in Alaska, to establish a crea. mery at the Matanuska experiment station on the Alaska Railroad, where

to other working class institutions.
At the Sunday conference it is eX-

CARNATIONS which realize the value of
working class press will be repres-
ented by their delegates. All are
urged to come on time, since the con-
ference will have not only delegates
