Must Entertain Royalty.
When royal visitors, such as the Prince
of Wales, arrive, the governor general
must entertain them properly. Distin-
guished Canadians are dined and wined
at Government House all year and the
maintenance Of an army of secretaries,
aides de camp and servants adds greatly
to the upkeep.
In fact, the upkeep of his official resi-
dence takes all the governor receives
from the Canadian government. On top
of that he must donate handsomely to
all charitable funds and sponsor public
and semi-public movements. To accom-
plish this he must draw heavily from
his private resources,

OTTAWA, Ontario, April 9.-Canada's
next governor general may be the Duke
of York, second son Of King George, or
Viscount Lascelles, son-in-law of the
monarch. Lord LascelleS married Prin-
cess Mary and hence is very much one
of the British royal family.

Office Requires Wealth.
One thing is certain: The next per-
sonal representative of King George in
this country will have to be a wealthy
man. Although his salary is $4,000,
Viscount Wilmington is like millions of
less exalted folk in America-he spends
far more than he earns.

representative of the King, is not the

 possibly they are newspaper stockholders. N
 The promotion" of tourist travel was found to have cost within $3,OOO of the railroad
 fares obtained from the tour iSts.
 "A Chicago office for the rail- road was found to have cost about $12,000 per year, with no
 particular duties for the oper- Iators of this office except to shake
 hands with each other.
 The Seattle office was found
 to be operated at cost at least
 double what was necessary. The railroad had for years
 past operated a steam plant and
 on the side furnished electrici- ty to the town of Anchorage de- irving tlerefrom an income of
 more than $6O,OOO year. This electrical business was turned over to private hands just prior to the administration of Mana ger Ohlson Nothing was receiv- ed in return for this, and the railroad made a contract to maintain its own plant as an emerge ny pl+ Tt. The C0n,.rittce was astonished to find that this one net income producer was given away, and that the opera ton of the steam plant of the railroad costs more now than it did when it sold elect :.tv
 It is learned that the auditing department was severely criti- cized because of laxness in col lecting accounts due the rail- road, more than S2OO,000 being allowed to accumulate on the books at Anchorage alone with now no hope of collection. Yet these accounts are carlia' by the the department as assets" of the road, instead of being strick- en off and carried in the 4sus- pended account"
 The Reindeer Department" was found to be a $14,000 joke on the railroad, inasmuch as not a single reindeer is found in the rail belt, and certainly none are being shipped.
 Anticipation of an increased tourist travel had seemed to call for increased train service, resulting iii a loss to the rail- road, because the tourist travel greatly decreased. This was on account of the bad conditions in the States.
 Too much service. Too low freight rates. Too much dupli- cation of jobs. Too much slack ing in Departments Too many high priced and low-action pro- noters. Too many barnacles in herited from previous manage nentS

 of Nebraska, as chairman of the

 the hearing to order and in a few
 words complimented Seward upon
 its location, it's enterprise, and up-
 on the character of citizenship To-
 cated here. The Senator paid a
 fine compliment to Miss Mays, SOL
 journing here, resident of Neb-
 raska, and stated the enthusiasm
 of Miss Mays for Seward has caus-
 ed him to share in her belief as to the fact that there are great pos
 abilities in store for Seward Mayor McMullen had presented
 list of persons to be called as witnesses and Senator Howell call
 led former Mayor l.. W. Ray as the first witness.
 Ray occupied about an hour, a large portion of the time being talk en up by the remarks and state mentS of Senator Kendrick and Senator Howell in response to mat ters brought forth by MT. Ray
 Ray gave the history of the Alas
 ka Central Railway and of they Alaska Northern, the designation .of Seward as the Coast Terminus by President Wilson under date of April 10th, 1915; told of the settle ment of Seward, it's growth, and pointed with pride to the fact that Seward was independent of pater- nal and governmental aid; that Seward h adpaid toward the Fed
 eral improvement of the Lowell Creek; that the permanent em- ployes of the Railroad in Seward was 18, and that most of these employees owned property, paid taxes, sent their children to Sew ard schools and were part of the community, respected and we'll liked
 MT Ray then called attention to two matters which he believed should be brought to the attention of the United States Senate at it's next session. The revision of the antiquated Alaska Code, one half the expense to be borne by tha Governmnt and on half by the Territorial Government. He then called attention to the exces- siye cost to litigants in Alaska of having to prosecute appeals in San Francisco, enlarging upon this to some extent, and suggested that as in the First United States Cir cult Court of Appeals, a law permit ted one of the judges of that court to hold sessions in Porto Rico, and that some similar legislation could we'll he enacted So that judge of the Ninth Circuit Court could hold sessions in Alaska.

 It is reported that at the public hearing at Nenana as
 elsewhere some of the merchants
 appeared and testified that the
 revocation of the law as to
 trapping beaver would increase
 tonnage on the railroad. It was
 ascertained, however, that the
 merchants each had thousands
 of dollars due from Indians, and
 were more interested in the
 settlement of these accounts
 than they were in increased tonnage.
 The Committee did not visit the Healy coal mines. and thus
 escaped a special dinner that had been planned. They had learned by testimony that the mines charged local people S5.25 per ton in carload lots at the mines but had favored the F. E. Co.,, with a rate of less than S2 per ton. This discovery is said to have been more impor- tant than the anticipated din- her that never came off.
 A visit was made to Mckinley Park, where the weather was So bad and the clouds So low that no view was had of the great mountain Members of the party saw some mountain sheep | through telescopes and had some enjoyable rides thru the Park
 The usual stop was made at Curry, where the Committee en- joyed the fine entertainment at the Government hotel Inquiry there and in the records at An chorage, however, disclosed the fact that the hotel is run with a loss to the railroad of over s3O, ,OO0 per year. This dampened some of the enthusiasm over the fine entertainment of the tavern.
 At Matanuska the party went over some of the farm territory oy autos, and took dinner at the Farm.
