which to any degree of accuracy could
measure their vastness. Even viZu-
alization of the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado dwindles into insignificance
when compared with the gigantic size
of the ocean canyons. The Grand
CANYON stretches one mile deep and
some 10 miles wide. while the "deeps'
at times are at least three miles below
the oceans so-called bottom and
score or so miles in breadth.
Among the best known ocean can.

Labor Under Handicap.
Scientists have labored under handi-
cans in their efforts to explore the
oceans sub-strata. 1t has been i'm
nossible to send submarines into the
treacherous watery depths because
the pressure would crush the craft $
heavy metal as rapidly perhaps AS
as eggshell crumbles in the hand, The
usual procedure has been to make
soundings hv means of leads attached
tc heavy piano wire. However. to
let out some six miles of wire and pull
it to surface again has proved to De
a task. taking ordinarily at least an
hours time. Moreover, hundreds of
soundings must be taken in this
before scientists may gain anything
approximating a genuine idea of the
"deep's" contiguration
Fortunately. the depth finder sound
ing device has given promise that
knowledge of these ''deeps" soon will
be more than scientific dream. The
contrivance is now being used by the
United States Coast and Geodetic Sur
vey in it's work. 1t operates on the
echo principle" based on the rate of
speed at which sound travels The
rate being known, the machine makes
it possible to compute the depth Thus
thousands OF soundings may be taken
in comparatively short time-and
while the ship is moving ahead at
full speed.

That question is answered by rail-
road authority thus:
During 1926 the average daily
movement for freight was 3O.4
miles; in 1925, 28.5 miles; in 1924,
268 miles; in 1923; 278 miles; in
1922, 23.5 miles; and in 1921, 22.4
miles.
'"The average daily movement per
freight car for the. first three quar-
ters of the current year was 302
miles, the highest mark ever attained
in any corresponding period This
compares with 29.9 miles for the first
nine months of 1926

in transit, cars in process of being
loaded and unloaded, cars undergoing

Railroads, within the past few
years, have enjoyed a prosperity that
has put them back to condition
tnat allows them to issue new stock
for financing, a thing that had not
been the rule for some years. Here
is brief statement of how financing
has been done by the roads for the
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-12-11

past four years:
Railroad financing during the first
10 months of 1927 totaled 1872, $685.
687, of which 172,2O5, 1877 was accom-
plished through the sale of stock, ac-
cording to the Commercial & Finan-
cial Chronicle, Of the new stock sold
this year, $S4,O36,70O, or almost one
half, went for refunding purposes,
while the balance represented new
capital.
"In the first 10 months of 1926
railroad financing amounted to $751;
$4,000, of which only $1O24OOOO was
accomplished through the sale of
stock. The rest was handled through
the sale of bonds, thereby increasing
the carriers funded indebtedness.
New financing for the first 10 months
of 1925 stood at SAFE, 3,388,730, Of which
$16.218,230 was stock. This compares
with total financing of $872, ,693, ,437 in
the first 10 months of 1924, OF which
$37,823,737 was stock; and with total
financing of $4O8,650,OOO in 1923, OF

DR.. Ousdal has made a close COM
parison between the skull just found
which he has christened ''The Santa

Chumash Indians found on the chan

there is a big difference, the one now
in his possession is, he believes, of that

SANTA BARBARA, Calf. tF9-Find-

RAILWAYS EARN
AN OUTSTANDING
SAFETY RECORD

Persons who travel upon the rail-
roads of the nation probably have not
come to a full realization of what a
wonderful record in safety methods
has been made part of the program
of the roads It will be of interest to
people generally to know that only
two persons were killed in railroad
accidents the first six months of
1927, it is stated by the committee on
public relations of the eastern rail-
roads The statement does not carry
information as to the number of peo-
pie carried, but it would have run
into many, many millions, so that
the percentage of that two, to the
number carried, would be infinitely
small. There were some accidents
and some persons injured, but the
statement is only as to the number
killed while travelling as passengers
of railroads.
zone has only to turn back to the
newspaper files of the ninetieS to see
how remarkably American railroads
have developed safety in operating
PASSENGER trains" comments one daily
newspaper, and it continues: %There
has been revolution in appliances
and equipment, and railroad manage
ments have learned the value of
safety"
Another paper, commenting on the
safety record of the roads. says:
about the safest place on earth is
a railroad car. Certainly it is far
and away safer than a seat in an
automobile or the path Of the pedes-
trian."
Delay of making effective the
interstate commerce commissions or
der to the freight carriers to make
a reduction in the rates on fruit
moving from California to eastern
points has been occaSioned by a fur
ther order postponing effectiveness
of the reduction to January 10 in
stead of December 10, the time at
which it was first set by the COM
mission The railroads propose to
test the matter in court, hence the
postponement.
On November IS. according to the
announcement of the American Rail
way association, there were In the
United States a surplus Of 251 ,644
freight cars in good repair and ready
immediate cargo use. It is that state
of preparedness of the railroads that
gives the American railroad it's pres
ent standing in business.
Here is an item from Railroad Data
which will be of interest to shippers
who have shared, to some extent, in
the 1essened costs of freight under
the numerous reductions referred to:
Gas result of numerous rate re-
ductions, the shippers of the country
will pay in 1927 nearly 100000, 900
less in freight charges than if there
had been no rate adjustments since
1921 That is, the freight traffic ac-
tually handled by the railways in 1927
would have cost the shipping public
more by that amount than it did cost
had the rates of 1921 been in effect
during 1927
1.-THE corresponding saving to the
public in the forn of reduced freight
transportation costs, for the six-year
period 1922 to 1927. inclusive, has ag-
gregated more than $4,000,000,00O."
What mileage service does rail-
road get out of its freight cars daily,
or what is the average daily travel
of freight car. based on all cars?

LEGALITY OF
BUILDING BILL
ISQUESTI0NED
SchlOSser.H Hamilton Measure
Being Challenged in Su-
preme Court

Constitutionality Of the Schlosser-
Hamilton bills permitting holding
companies to construct dormitories
for use by students at state educa-
tiOnal institutions has been chal-
lenged in the supreme court.
Sitting in the Burleigh county dis
trict court, Judge Fred Jansonius has
sustained demurrer to an action
brought by E. D., Bower on behalf Of
the state to cnjoin the board of ad-
ministration from acting under the
law. The case in point is that Of
the state agricultural college at
Fargo where prcparat ions to erect a
new dormitory under the law al
ready have been made.
Following Jansonius' action in sus-
tanning the demurrer, interposed BY
Attorney General Shafer on behalf of
the board, Attorney A. w. Fowler
announced that he would appeal the
case. Fowler signed the undertaking
on appeal as vice president Of the
Northern and Dakota Trust company
of Fargo and it is said that the suit
Is. a friendly one to determine the
constitutionality Of the act before
plans to finance the project are COM
pleted.
- Claims Unconstitutionality
The suit alleges that the laws are
unconstitutional because they are
special or class legislation and do
not have uniform operation; grant
privileges not granted to all citizens;
confer on the state board of admin
istration powers limited by the con-
stitution to the legislature: that the
subject matter is not properly cx-
pressed in the titles of the acts; that
it takes the sites for the buildings
and rentals from. other. property,
pledged to pay debts in building
operations. away from the jurisdic-
ton Of the state and four other
specifications of unconstitutionality
The board of administration was
empowered by the acts to supervise
tho construction of dormitories finan-
ced under the new laws.
