MIR. SMITH VANGUARD OF ACTIVITY

With the return of Noel w. Smith, general manager of the Alaska Railroad, who arrives tomorrow af- ter spending several months in Washington in attend upon Congress- marks the usherng in of spring tvities the railroad and and what promises to be other successful years operation While he did not get all the funds he sought he secured sufficient to continue
 his program the enlarged scale outlined last year. This program enabled him to accomplish much in the way of rehabilitation of roadbed and make the best showing of any railroad in the nation in point of increased earnings and reduction in operating coss-an increase in earnings of "A per cent and decrease expenses of 30 per cent The significance of this achievement more notable in view of the hancaps experienced by shortage of the cessay funds with which to do many things he had set out to do
 Mr. Smith will have $1 O0O with which to proceed
 this season. approximately S3O0O00 less than what he had hoped for and set down in his budget These funds are the result of turning defensive battle into offensive 1t was foreseen that certain enemies of the railroad would launch assault for curtament of appropriations under the claim that the enterprise had not achieved what had been claimed for it. The remarkable balance sheet Mr. Smith sprung just prior to going to Washington caused the railroad opponents to march their forces down the hill again and strike their colors.
 While it is not expected that the expense item will equal that of last approach it in point of economies effected, every augury points to increased earnings which will doubt offer another surprise for Washington.
 The mere fact that Mr. Smith has made good in econ- onca management and vindcated the enterprise is suf fcent to still all further opposon and let alone there is to believe that he will continue his progress to the ultimate goal sought
 Both friends and those who have differed with him matters of policy recognize and appreciate the thor oughness with which he has made good and wish him other successful season.

McGraw was no match 10
champion. His punches were wild. He
swung them instead of shooting ac-

them, stepping in with jolting right

boxing, keeping McGraw off balance
by popping long lefts into his lace.
