PLANS SWITCHED AT LAST MO- MENT; MAKING ROUND
 TRIP A. RAILROAD

Arriving in Seward from Cor doVa at an early hour this morn ing the Cutter Tahoe, Commdr L. C. Covell, brought the distin- quished members of the Congress- ional party. The members of the Appropriation Subcommittee for Agriculture were met by Colonel Otto F. Ohlson, General Mana ger of the Alaska Railroad, and by L. " Ray, both of whom de- parted with them at ' o'clock this morning.
 Col. Ohlson returned to Sew ard last evening from Anchorage ill the railroads private car in which the Congressional party is making the trip over the line. The Brill motor-car was attach ed to the private car.
 Through the courtesy of MT. Ray, phoning to the Gateway from Moose Pass, the itinerary Of the party is made known and viii be as follows:
 From Seward direct to Mo Kinley National Park; thence to Fairbanks where two days are planned to be spent, Saturday ard Sunday. On Sunday evening, or early Monday morning, they will leave for Anchorage and, depending upon the pleasure ot the ladies who may be too tired, 2. brief visit might be made. In any case they expected to re- turn to Seward Tuesday evening at 6 o'clock. Their date of de- parture from Seward on the Ia hoe is problematical and will un- doubtedly be gauged by the in terest. Seward residents can create for them. Speaking for the par ty MT. Ray stated the members were not looking for entertain r7ant but were in Alaska for the sole purpose of learning at first hand some of the major prob lens within the space of time permitted.
 When the subject of a recep- ton was broached the nembers flatly said no but an informal supper, yes. This would give them an opportunity to meet the rank and file of Alaska citizens which they are primarily interested Tn doing thereby gaining the view point of a bona-fide resident.
 Members of the Subcommittee and in this party were L. J. Dickenson of Iowa, chairman; E. H. Wasson of New Hampshire, ! w. Summers of Washington, John N. Sandlin of Louisiana and James P. Buchanan of Tex as.
 Others in the party include Mir. Orr, clerk of the committee; R. Y. Stewart, chief forester ot the United States; Mrs. L. J Dickenson, Mrs. E. H. Wasson Mrs. J. w. Summers, Mrs. John N. Sandlin, and c. H. Flory, com missioner of the department of agriculture, Alaska.
 The Cutter Tahoe remains in port awaiting the return of the party and will sail for Seattle from here.
