Dreport says that c. P. Petersen of An chorage, who went to San Francisco some weeks ago, has purchased 2,000ton auxiliary schooner, equipped with a 300- h. D. Deisel engine and carrying a crew of 12 men, which will sail for Alaska as soon as she has been placed in drydock and given a thor ough overhauling and rating.
 The vessel will be sail north short ly after being thoroughly outftted and expects to begin carrying coal from the Matanuska fields to San Francisco about the middle of April. It is expected to make one round trip per month to San Francisco carrying full cargo each trip, and will also call at Kodiak and other Westward points for the purpose of delivering coal, touching at canneries and all places where fuel is required.
 In addition to engaging in a coal carrying business, but not as com mon carrier, the schooner will do a general trading business in Western oc1y 61,0c> ,1o1 finc as herring, salmon, etc., and trans porting them to San Francisco.
 On return trips northward the ves- sel will take on pickup cargoes of various kinds.
 The. enterprise is financed by An chorage capital primarily with view to developing the Manatnuska coal fields.
 The new enterprise does not expect to come into competition with the al- ready established lines of transpor- tation to Alaska, but will cover a field that is practically virgin as far as transportation is concerned.
 It is also stated that contract for 1000 tons of coal daily has been of- fered to Matanuska coal operators. Reports from the coal fields indicate that whereas no one mine is suffi- ciently equipped with machinery to fill the order, it may be filled by col lective effort.
 Outside on missions having to do with coal production and sale are Oscar Anderson, president of the Ev- an Jones Coal company and Henry Boxter, of the Matanuska Bituminous Coal company. MT. Baxter is financ- ing for operation of the Baxter mine on Moose creek, where large and ap- parently permanent bed of excellent coal has been prospected and de

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.--In a statement in behalf of the group of Western independent Republi- can Senators. Senator Smith w. Brookhart, of Iowa, advocated en- actment of railroad consolida- tion measure as part of the farm relief program.
 Senator Brookhart said: "The farm problems cannot be solved by mere enactment of the farm bill. There is no single farm bill that can cure all diserimina- tions against agriculture. About 10 per cent of the farmers troubles are due to excess charges in transportation
 The Administration has long been committed to the proposal to consolidate the railroads of the country into a much smaller group of owning companies, than at present.

SAS nEnpn Cal, Nov. B. Preponderance in the submarine strength of the Pacific Fleet over the Atlantic Fleet will be in- creased when three V-type sub marines will join the armada nere soon.
 The Pacific Fleet already has 32 of the Navy's 50 submarines in active service.
 The V-type submarine is $40 feet long and they are the most powerful underwater fighters in the Navy. They have a surface speed of 21 knots and a cruising radius enabling them to cross the Pacific Ocean and return without refuelling. They also have struc- tural design which makes them safe against depth charge at tacks.

RAILROAD HAS
 BEST YEAR IN ITS HIS I OR '
General Manager Smith Reviews Conditions of
 Alaska Railroad

While the last fiscal year, end ing June 30, was the best from all operating standpoints in the his tory of the Alaska Railroad, earn ings for the first three months of the current fiscal year are ma. terially higher than those for the corresponding period in 1926, it was made known here yesterday by General Manager Noel w. Smith. He is enroute to Wash ington to confer with Secretary Hubert Work, Interior Depart ment, and appear before Con gressional committees in connec- tion with his estimates for next years appropriations.
 MT. Smith conferred with Gov. George A. Parks on various rail road matters while the Alaska was in port. He is accompanied by Mrs. Smith and her sister Miss Funnel and by B. H. Barndollar. legal adviser of the management.
 More Coal Tonnage
 MT. Smith said he had been ad vised just before leaving Anchor age that the Fairbanks Exploration Company had signed contracts with the Healy River Coal Cor poration. headed by Capt. A. r. Lathrop, for a five years supply of coal. It is understood that the contract calls for the delivery of 10000 tons in 1928. 10000 in 1929 and increased amounts for succeeding years.
 From the standpoint of the railroad this means increased tonnage for the road on the nor thern division. The mine is said to be equipped to get out the tonnage without calling for re- arrangement of material increass Q in it's facilities or enlargement of it's plant.
 Big Freight Gain
 While only small net gain was shown in it's passenger traf- fife. freight traffic last year in creased very largely, MT. Smith said. The revenue of the road showed 26 per cent increase over that of the previous year.
