PIONEERS FIGHT
 RAILWAY POLICY
 AND GIVE ADVICE
Higher Rates and Bureau cratic Rule Opposed
 at Anchorage

Opposition to an increase in rates on the Alaska Railroad in order to cut down its deficit is expressed by the Anchorage Igloo of the Pio- neers of Alaska in resolutions that were unanimously adopted. Con- pairing the Alaska Railroad with the Copper River and Northwestern Railroad or with the White Pass and Yukon Railroad is unjust to the Alaska Road, declare the An- chorage Pioneers. They are of the opinion that the government would help it's railroad by building up the country; and this would be achieved if bureau control were abolished and If steamships were operated by the railroad between Anchorage and Seattle.
 The statement of the Anchorage Pioneers follows:
 "As a means toward making the Alaska Railroad pay it's operating expenses it is now proposed to raise the freight and passenger rates which were put into effect when the road went on an operat- ing basis and which have been maintained since.
 "To justify this comparison will be made between the rates charged on the Alaska Railroad and on the privately owned and operated rail- roads in Alaska-the Copper River and Northwestern and the White Pass and Yukon.
 Comparison Not Helpful
 We believe no such comparison can be helpful in solving the prob lem of the annual deficit of the Alaska Railroad because of the es- sential difference of the condi- tions existing on, the government road and the private roads, and the difference in the purposes for which the roads were built.
 "In the case of the Copper River and Northwestern, the road is not, primarily, a public service railroad, service to the public being only in cidental to it's main purpose for bringing to the coast the ore of the Kennecott copper mines. The road would be operated quite inde-

question by recalling what was done here by pioneer in pre-ra1lroad days. Before the Alaska Railroad was thought of, George Palmer used to operate general store at Knik, near the present site of An chorage, then not established. He supplied the miners and trappers operating in all of the Cook Inlet country and traded with the In- dians. He operated little schooner called the Lucy, which made a trip to San Francisco annually and brought up the stock required for his trade, which was extensive.
 "The schooner sailed up Cook h. let and discharged it's cargo on the Palmer dock at Knik at cost of S4 per ton, and the prices which the miners who were then operat- ing in the Cache Creek and Willow Creek districts paid for supplies were commensurate with the cost of transportation. Now the aver age transportation charge for staple products from Seattle to Anchorage is $25 per ton.
 "As a transportation system the Alaska Railroad is but half com- plete, for most of the freight and i the passengers which it hauls eith- CT come from or go to Seattle.
 'The question naturally arises, if the Alaska Railroad, with cheap freight and passenger rates, has not succeeded in developing the country, would curtailing the serv- ice and increasing the rates accom- plish this end?

OF course, there's happiness

loyal to the fine man who is
your husband. Or you might

Was It True?

Raquel walked to the mirror.
Was it true? Had this woman
spoken the truth? Could beauty
run in the blood, coil itself
around the heart? She knew
that it could. 1t was in her
blood, beat in her heart.

That dry rattle in the woman's
throat. He worshiped beauty

Raquel turned, studied the wo-

were traces of beauty. Faded
wisps. Then why was this wo-
man here, whining? Why hadn't
she made the most of what was
hers? If she had failed, should
she ask failure of her, Raquel,
too? No. 1t was not fair.
"I regret, madame" Raquel
said in tone at once business
like and determined, that can
not do as you wish. No good of
it could come to you. And much
harm would come to me. If you
have lost beauty, if Monsieur
Alphonse no longer finds in you
that which he seeks, whatever

Cruel, perhaps. In the end, it
is better that way. The hurt is

It was midnight before Raquel
could persuade Madame Pauline
to leave her room, to go away
quietly. With the diStraught
woman went the girls assur-
ance that there was not the re-
moteSt chance she would ever
be more than medium for the
expression of Alphonse's artistry.

She sagged. Her face was hag-
