of the several strategic railroad pro]ects
he has originated. This IS the scheme
organized on paper by the New YORK.

'-"I still consider that this stretch Of
line mapped out by the New York,
Pittsburgh g. Chicago Co. would be the
backbone of the most serviceable and
profitable rail trunk that can be run
from Chicago to the Atlantic, he said
in an interlude of the commission hear
ing he has obtained. When 1t Is built
II can be tied up advantageously with
existing rails to the East and the West.
There are several alternatives possible" ;"
Asked to name existing railroads he
aims to link up with his contemplated
new construction, Mr.. Loree shook his
head.
"Oh, that question can't be settled
here: it will be discussed elsewhere. But
there are several East and West con-
nections that might be formed" he
proceeded. What we have here Is the
best route for getting through the AL
leghanies, and no Eastern trunk system
now has as straight and level line as
we have laid out. There isn't much
reality to this talk about the great ex-
pense. The advantages the road would
offer in operating would justify the out
lay. Besides, nobody of rail experience
is frightened merely by large figures.

BILL it will have to deal with this agri-
cultural puzzle as well.
Whether or not the famous team oi
reindeer Santa Claus is credited with
driving through the holidays gets int
action this year, Christmas day will find
one great reindeer herd plouphiTo
through the Snowdrifts of the Far North
for purely commercial reasons. There
are 5000 animals now on the move. an
American trade observer in Canada re-
ports, from Alaska to the banks of the
Mackenzie River, in the Canadian
Northwest territory, and the full Jour
ney will take the herd two years.
Purchased from Eskimos in American
territory. the reindeer in the drive are
intended by the Canadian government
to supply ESkimoS and Indians in Ca
madam territory, and it is hoped that
their numbers will very greatly increase.
The total cost of the enterprise is about
$4,000. and these reindeer are not
carrying any Christmas presents,
though In themselves they are expected
to constitute a most valuable gift to the
pomad tribes that may become eco
nomically self-sustaining by caring for
them through future years.

criminals are spending $lO5, 5,OOO, 900


there.
ITS simply a question of what can
be gotten for the money. I don't antici-
pate any difficulty in financing the plan,
and / consider that the normal growth
of the countfy'S trafflc can be expected
to provide business that will make it
profitable" 'i'-
On the basis of a careful rtNiew Of
conditions at home and abroad, Julius
Klein, Assistant Secretary of Agricul-
ture, has told members of the Tanners
Council of America to expect a leather
market demand next year of about the
same character as that experienced this
year, though with an increased export
demand. DR.. Klein, while dealing with
data as to low stocks of leather and
footwear, suggested a number of points
IN his address on which he thought
leather makers might improve business
practice.
Stocks of leather are now at fairly
low levels" he said, "and represent true
values. She inventories of both manu-
facturers and dealers are likewise not
excessive, and represent true values. The
outlook. therefore, of the leather trade
In 1880 is at least normal. Your prob
lem for 1880 is purely one of sane buy
ing and sane selling"
During 1929 the export demand for
American leather has been slow, with
sales volume below last year, and the
Assistant Secretary attributed the de-
cline to force liquidation of stocks by
european tanners. This process he
deemed to be about over now.
For the coming year the outlook for
foreign trade in leather Is somewhat
brighter" he continued "Your export
sales should be somewhat larger than in
the present year, but you must treat the
foreign buyer with as much considera-
ton as you give domestic buyers. Thus,
on a conservative basis. you may look
forward to a normal demand for leather
next year in both the domestic and for
eign markets"
A fervent plea to the Interstate Com
merce Commission, in behalf of LOUIS
lana business house rdiSagreeing with
the Missouri Pacific and other railroads
