Alaska is a long way off from the p0int justifying a railroad of this Size. Since it's completion, both the oaean terlni- nal and the interor terminal towns have declined in population and prosperity. Anchorage itself altho supported by the railroad payroll has declined also.

A truck load ed here in Seward could deliver the goods right at the mine, prospect, farm, town residence, without the now extra handling Then, all of these many short highways would be connected. making rapid inter communication If a man wants a ton of freight at the end of one of the many short roads leading to the railroad, he ships a truck out N by train to do the hauling, leaving lit idle there when done, or send ing it back by rail to the town, a costly operation that discourages traffic, On the other hand, if he could run back and forth to the nearest towns at will, he would buy more and do more.
 There would be no more expense to the Government after the high way was finished; a saving to the Treasury of probably million dol lars for another IS years. ConVeI- sion to the highway could be car ried On from the north this way without interrupting traffic, and with great rapidity.

THE GREAT ALASKAN PUZZLE

Other than these I do not believe any other major development has oc- cured that could not have been handled just as easy on a highway. the mistakes of the past cannot be undone, but should help in formulating new policies.
 The railroad has not brought in the past, and is not bringing, or elopm mt and growth of Alaska from its own re- sources, and any showing offered as proof that it has, even if true, IS very weak result, and failure, for the $75,0OO,O0O expended on it's construction and maintenance during the past IS years. IT IS FORE, A WASTE OF MONEY TO CONTINUE THIS RAILROADS OPERATION, UN- LESS SOME METHOD CAN BE FOUND, AND IMMEDIATELY PUT INTO OPERATION, CAUSING A FUNDAMENTAL CHANGE IN AF- FECTS.
 That is a very harsh fact, but true, and the sooner it is brought into the light, the sooner will some successful remedy be found for the painful situation The Congression- al committees and Presidential Investigators who came here in the past, failed absolutely to find the cause, or remedy Each time there was much back skipping, gushing optimism, and prophecy; their ad- vent heralded as the start of the
 new era, Watch Alaska Crow boom. But what came of it all? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, but the waste of expense money What they see what they hear, where and how they spend their time, was carefully supervised by interested persons. Is it in human nature to SHOW up its own faults, or failures?

80 SUBPENAED
FOR RUM QUIZ
Grand Jury to DeIve Into
Vigo County Case.

With more than thirty grand jury
subpenas served among persons liv-
ing in and near Terre Haute, fed
eral authorities today prepared to
present evidence to the quiz body
Wednesday in connection with al
legged liquor activities In Vigo coun-
ty, it was learned.
Business men, known bootleggers,
police and politicians were among
those who received writs to appear
here for the jury session.
Fore more than six weeks, dry
agents and special investigators
have been working in the Terre
Haute area. Officials here, though,
refused to comment.
According to rumors, former dry
law prisoners have become dis
gruntled because politicians are al
legged to have promised them pro-
lection and failed to do so and, in
turn, they "squawked" to federal
agents.
Further reports heard in Terre
Haute point to high political figures
as being among those subject to
the probe range. These, it is said,
may include Indiana men and per-
sons in other states.
