Call for Good Horses
 Is Brisk, Major Says

WASHINGTON, Feb 27-Ap- pearances to the contrary, the demand for good horses and mules is greater in the United States now than 20 years ago, in the opinion of Maj. c. l.. Scott of the army remount service.
 "The general tendency through the country is to get rid of the nondescript horse that used to be driven to town with a buggy and tied to a, hitching rack. There is great demand now for big, strong, strapping mule or 1,500 to 2.000 pound horse or a high class riding horse" Major Scott told the house appropriations committee.
 There is more demand flor this kind now" he said. "than there has ever been before in. the his tory of the country. They are coming back to cities in the con gested areas quite a good deal"

 The Fort Frederick project was for the construction of canoe passage from the head of Port Frederick to the head of Tenakee Inlet. This was decided at the local Road Commission office to he impracticabe, it was said.
 The William Henry Bay pro ject was for the construction of a breakwater to protect ,the wharf from head winds. The local Com mission concluded in not recom- mending the project that activi- ties at the Bay, where the Alaska Endlcott Mining Company mine is located, do not warrant im- provements at this time.

FIVE MAIL TRAIN ROBBERS CAPTURED
Reduced Costs of Ore Treatment Promise NelU
 Prosperity to Mining

DENVER. Colo, Feb. 27-Re- newed prosperity is expected to result from reduced costs of min. ing and refining sought during the present period of transition and internal reordering of the metal mining industry.
 M B. Tomblin, secretary of the Colorado Mining association, tells The Associated Press that de velopment is being done on q large scale throughout the Rocky Mountain states and that many tons of ore have been blocked out in anticipation of increased prices and the perfecting of methods permitting economies in produc- ton and smelling.
 Remarkable progress was made last year in methods of treating ores" Tomblin said. "and this has made available vast quantities oi ore considered in the past as of too tow grade to be sent to the treatment plants"
 Tomblin is not Over-outimistic about the industry's outlook this year. He believes metal mining will progress slowly, but in a manner that will insure prosper. ous conditions in years to come.
 Low prices for lead and zinc last year seriously affected pro duction," he explained. Tn some instances it was patiently unpro fitable to mine these two metals because production costs were above the market price. The industry, however, is coming around gradually to the mining ol low grade ores through cutting production costs. New metallurgy and new methods of mining will have their effect on the facilities for treating ore"
 The precious and rare metals enjoy rosier prospect this year than do the base metals, in Tomb lin's opinion, although he thinks that curtailed stores and increas led demand may cause lead and zinc to respond quickly to an up. ward trend.

 WASHINGTON. Feb. 22--Con- fident that 4S-hour air mail and passenger service between Lon don and New York is so close at hand that it's attainment is only a matter of months, the gov ernment is clearing the way for participation by the United States in a new era of trans-oceanic transport.
 Spurred by announcement that the giant British dirigible R-100, nearing completion in England. will make demonstration voyages over the Atlantic in September to show the feasibility of the plan. executive branches are moving quickly to assure full American cooperation in consummation of an air line over the Atlantic.s
 The postoInce department, through Warren |. Glover, assist ant postmaster general in charge of air mail, has indicated that if Britain institutes regular trans, Atlantic service, the government will be ready to dispatch mail in quantities to England by air at the regular two-cent postage rate now in effect Similar plans by British postal authorities call for a three-cent letter rate on United States-bound mail with q surcharge of nine cents.
 Representative Clyde Kelly of Pennsylvania has offered in con gress measure authorizing the postmaster general to contract for trans-oceanic mail at $3 pound. It's passage will remove almost the last barrier to American use of the liners for mail.
 President Coolidge has express ed his interest in the plan in connection with the visit to Washington of C. D. Burney, mem Der of the British parliament and representative of sponsors of the R100.
 At the presidents direction. Secretary Wilbur of the navy is making available the mooring mast at Lakehurst. N. l.. for the demonstfation flight, and Secre- tary of Commerce Hoover is look ing into the project with view to aiding it as he may through the departments section of com mercial aviation.
 The R-100 will be 109 feet long
 51 feet longer than the U. s. navy dirigible Los Angeles. It will have carrying capacity of 100 passengers and ten tons of freight. cruising radius of 1000 miles and speed of 75 miles an hour.
 It will be able, Burney esti- mates. to voyage from New York to London in about 3S hours, but the westward flight will take ten hours more because of the differ ence in prevailing winds. The ship will have the luxurious state rooms and appointments of an ocean liner.
 Present plans call for endur- ance maneuvering and mooring tests for the R-100 in July and August, to be followed in Septem- Der by the transatlantic tests. If these succeed. British capital Is prepared, Burney says, to organ

SEATTLE MAN IS INVENTOR
 ENERGY -M0fon
Seattle Newspaper Says Suspended Dry Agent
 Discovered Principle

SEATTLE. Feb. z7--ln copy righted story in the Seattle Post Intelligeneer, that newspaper says Alfred M. Hubbard, suspended Prohibition Agent, is probably the discoverer at least of the principle of the free energy" mo- tor privately demonstrated in De- troit last week.
 In 1919 when Hubbard was only 16 years of age. he demon strated an apparatus which he claimed extracted it's electric en. ergy direct from the air.
 Today Hubbard declared that he believes the motor demonstrate ed in Detroit by Lester J. Tender shot Is the development of his apparatus.
 Hubbard declared that his claim that his device was capable of picking it's energy from the air was only subferfuge to protect patent rights. He now says the apparatus extracted electric en- ergy from radium and that as far ai he could learn. Hendershot's invention worked on the same principle. Hubbard declined to reveal further details.
 Hubbard said he sold 75 per cent of his patent rights to the Radium Chemical Company of Pittsburgh but quit the company cold when the officials insisted he sell them more.
