The Committee on Invalid Pen sions in report recently made to the House on House Bill 1345O, which proposes to grant an in crease to widows of veterans of the Civll War, recommends that the bill pass without amendments.
 ''lt is estimated," the report stated, "that 195,OOO Civil War widows now on the pension roll would be entitled to increase of pension under this bill, and it is estimated that the cost for the first year would be $46,8SO, ,0OO."
 The report pointed out that there are now 5000 special bills intro duced for the relief of destitute widows of the Civil War. 'It is impossible to take care of all the deserving cases by special act of Congress, and it is the opinion of the Committee that jusctice to these Civil War widows can only be granted through the passage of a general bill."

AUTO OWNERS OFFERED OPPORTUNITY SPECIAL
 RATES, RAIL, BOATS

There is a possibility that during
 next summer, if sufficient business is
 offered, that the Alaska Railroad in connection with the steamship com
 panies, will make rate on automo- piles from Fairbanks to Seward and Anchorage, also from Anchorage to Seward, and arrange with the steam ship companies for a low rate from Seward to Valdez for the following purpose:
 Some people might desire to take their cars from Seward to Valdez, then use their cars on the highway to Fairbanks, from which point the railroad would make a nominal charge for movement. The. railroad would make a charge of $15 for movement of a car from Anchorage to Seward and Fairbanks to Anchorage. This rate would apply only on southbound business. The steamship companies would probably make a charge of $25 from Seward to Valdez, total charges amounting to $40. This would enable the local passengers to make a tour over the highway at a reasonable cost.
 Railroad headquarters suggests that various automobile owners call on Agent Sweek, Alaska Railroad depot. if they are interested so that the railroad may perfect necessary ar with steamship companies if there is to be any business at these rates.
 The above rates, of course, would | apply only during the summer months during the period that the Richard son highway is passable and further, the movement would apply on the cars only. The railroad an nounces that under no circumstances could they give any rate northbound except at the current freight rate.

BLACKIE'S VASE AT GRAVE PICK. ED UP BY A TOURIST LAST
 FALL

Some months ago The Gateway published a story about the untime- ly death of "Blackie" a dog, of the grave his fond master buried him in and of the flowers and vase purchased and placed over the grave near a roadside. The vase and flowers mys- .teriously disappeared one day and the master was 70 strickened with sorrow that he informed The Gateway of the fact, the article then appearing.
 The mystery is mystery no longer for yesterday the following story was left in The Gateway office. Names are omitted for it is anticipated the vace, now in the southern part of the United States, may be returned soon.

It seemed ridiculous as a souvenir States-made pottery and little artifi- cial flowers! I didn't know how pa thetic!
 "So it went aboard the ship to tray el all the way to a southern state as a souvenir of Alaska.
 T know she would deeply regret the act and feel a keen remorse should she read the little sad story of Why the green vase stood there" and learn too late that she had car ried home instead, tender memor- lal to a pet.

BLAckiE's MEMORIAL MYSTERY

Tt was bright Sunday afternoon
 in Seward and the Aleution was in port. It was also enticing weather
 in the early fall, and tourists roamed
 about the town, some still seeking souvenirs in shop, and some a scenery thrill.
 "We were roaming too-in our auto-and upon returning to town we noticed on the glacier bridge three tourists idling along; a man and two women. They were dressed in tour ist style-simple and practical-the man, hatless and well-tanned, due as
 we learned later, to many months of Iout-of-door travelling, and weeks up the Yukon. The women were small and dainty, dressed in plain but ex pensive coats, and smart but incon- spicuous hats-his wife and her friend.
 Upon the spur of the moment we decided to invite them to ride a lit tie while-we'd been carrying around an empty back seat and it seemed too bad to waste it.
 "Of course they accepted and climb ed in, and We had a very interesting talk and showed them the wild and beautiful parts of Seward part of the drive to Kenai which greatly sur prised them as they had seen nothing like it in all their sightseeing thru Alaska. When we passed the sunlit tropic-like forests and they saw the thick jungle-aike undergrowths, the 1 ferns; the trees and mosses, their amazement and appreciation was won derful.
 But to go back to our meeting. | When we drew up alongside to ap- proach them, one of them (the friend) | stepped forward with a disconcerted air and held forth green vase, with a question in her eyes, and a very guilty smile. 'Ts this yours" she pleasantly asked me-feeling I knew uncomfortable. NO" replied-re- membering I had seen it before. A l little green vase with bright little flowers of orange velvet, a sort that bloom in deserts and hot dry sand. 1 She looked relieved and hastily and shamfacedly explained as they piled in, that she had seen 1t standing in | a remote sort of place along the road | just beyond the bridge. Isn't that 8 funny place for a vase?" she asked, T think someone threw it away, and I'm going to take it home! It will make dandy souvenir of Alaska!" For moment I was speechless, for didn't know about Blackie then and she was stranger, so 1t was hard to be outspoken! But I said, Tt must

FLOOD COST RAILROADS
IN MIDWEST $4,000, 900
Eleven Companies Suffered Terrible
Losses During Mississippi
Valley Disaster.

Eleven Midwestern and Western
railroads sustained property damage
amounting to approximately $4,000
600 in the recent floods in the M1ssis-
sippi Valley, the American Railway
Engineering Association declared last
night. A report prepared by special
committee of chief engineers of the
roads operating in the flood zones
said that operation of rail carriers
was suspended from 10 to 120 days on
5000 miles of railroad.
The carriers rendered valuable as
sistance in rescuing and providing liv-
ing quarters for flood refugees, the
Illinois Central alone operating 81
rescue trains and handling 46.3S1
refugees. The largest property dam
age was sustained by that road, with
losses estimated at $2.174,340.
The committee agreed with Secre-
tary Hoover's statement that the
Mississippi flood constituted the great
est peace-time calamity this country
has ever experienced by declaring ut
is a national disaster that has no
peace-time precedent"
