Angus-Say, Sandy, that ton of coal you charged me with was surely "short ton." It weighed only three quarters of a ton.
 Sandy-I know it, mon. That's the new way we have in the coal busi- ness. Investigation showed that on the average a uarter of a ton was lost off the truck in going from one yard to the customers place. So now we give you three-quarters of a ton to start with, and save the waste.

more than ever. How could we keep up the present program of develop ment if we didn't have that road run ming into the very heart of things?
 "There are enough development projects now going forward or in the formative stage to justify the road, to say nothing of what the future holds in store for us. After thirty years in Alaska l am just waking up to her possibilities, and before I pass out of the picture l expect to see the Alaska Railroad so busy with a profitable traffic that no one will be carpinc about the cost of it's con- struct.on. The time has arrived when it's c1st is balanced by the status of achievement in Alaska. In other words, We have arrived finally at realization of what we have got. The present showings nearly everywhere in Alaska ustify great energy and money in turning raw materials into the channels of the worlds business. Frat alone should be enough to silence all this railroad talk. Sup posing there is a million-dollar de- lcit. Does that amount to anything in this game of trying to release hundreds of millions? I say it's idle talk, and believe it is absurd to even abide an unjust thought about the railroad, because it is here to stay. It is vital to our program of development. Its cost is infinitesimal to the good it is doing and will do.
 Take Ester Dome, for instance, in the heart of the Fairbanks district. To talk about Ester Dome is to con- jure up fortunes. It is only about 3 miles long and four or five miles wide, but from it the glac CTS scraped many millions cf dollars. Some of that has been recovered. In addition there is left in the hard rock of the dome the veins from which the gold was scraped by the ice. We will have to blast our way to that wealth, but we know enough now to feel req sonably sure that the gold is there.
 "The condition in the Fairbanks district can be in measure repeated in many places in. Alaska. Placer mining has really begun. Under our new processes we tan make money in ground that was prohibitive in the old days. The ground is still there and we are learning how to handle it.
 "The. whole. .Koyukuk. watershed is a potential gold field, as well as the kuskokwim, the Tanana and the op- per reaches of the Yukon. The Kenai peninsula, the Alaska peninsula, great part of the coast line, have given evidence of their holdings, and their promise for greater rewards on great development.
 Il am miner first, but my efes are not closed to other trends of bet terment and other possibilities in Alaska. The soil now offers us min erals, wood, coal, oil, water power and hunded other things in virgin state. We will add to that by the devices of husbandry. There will be

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November ga move
ment toward lower interest rates on
bank deposits, which has been growing
for some weeks, gained momentum to-
day after the announcement Of the New
York Federal Reserve Bank that the
Treasury Department will pay 11a per
cent to depoSitarieS of Treasury funds
after next Monday. The current rate
is per cent.
Banks have been receiving deposits
of Government funds In connection
with their subscriptions to Treasury
issues. The profit on the deposit has
frequently been sufficient to permit in
stitutionS to pay high rates for Gov
eminent paper. The same practice
exists in such States as New York and
New Jersey, where successful bidders
on State bonds receive State funds on
which they usually pay per cent. In
periods OF high money or active and
strong securities markets they are able
to show substantial spread" to cover
premiums paid for these bonds.
It Is expected that the New York
Clearing House Association will shortly
take action on the question Of interest
payments by the members of this body
to their depositors. Rates have al
ready been reduced twice this year,
first at the end of March and then on

FIRMER COPPER PRICES
ARE NOTED BY TRADE
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, November ga slight
firming of prices in the domestic cop
per market was reported today, on the
basis of sales by leading custom smell
ter at IL cents pound, delivered, an
increase of " cent a pound over the
smelter's previous quotation.
Producers are continuing to hold the
metal at IL cents pound, delivered, a
price established more than week ago,
but dealers and custom smelters have
been selling copper at concessions Of
! u cents from that price.
It was said In the trade that the smell
ter selling at IL cents was one of the
leading interests in the shading of do
mestic prices recently. Leading trade
authorities report that there is little
demand for the metal, and said that
little Importance was attached to the
increase in price in view of the dull

CURB ISSUES GAIN
ON SHORT COVERING
Week End Market Closes
Higher After Irregular
Price Movement.
BY JOHN f. COOLEY,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, November 29.-Week-
end covering helped the curb market
close irregularly higher today. Price
changes throughout the quiet two
hours trading session were minute,
however, and net gains in the active
issues rarely exceeded half point.
Oils displayed a somewhat better
tone on small turnovers. Cities Service,
Standard of Indiana and Gulf finished
fractionally higher, although Vacuum
and Standard of Kentucky eased a
trifle Natural Gas shares were steady.
Newmont Mining and Glen Alden
Coal, with advances or more than a
point, were among the few issues to
move out of the extremely narrow rut
Such stocks as Ford of England, zonite,
Aviation Corporation of the Americas,
Anglo Chilean Nitrate and Noranda
Mines closed virtually unchanged.
Covering was most noticeable in the
utilities, but that group, on the whole,
acted indeciSively. Electric Bond g.
Share ran up nearly a point, although
It was able to hold only a minor part
of its gain. Niagara Hudson, American
g. Foreign Power warrants and Ameri-
can Superpower firmed, while American

the Saints are looking forward to

player playing at Edinburg. where
he was captain Of last years foot

pitcher with a sharp breaking curve
and q fast underhard hall that

notice. II Floyd is right the
Broncs should have a hard time

Whenever a baseball player begs

happened last SUNDAY at McAllen.

Sunday will witness perhaps the
most exciting day IN the history OF
the Rio Grande Valley league. On
that date, the clubs are well matched
and indications point toward four
good games. The better clubs are
fighting one another and the cell
larites are scrapping among them
selves.
The tilt most filled with potent
possibilities IS the Saint-B ronc con-
test at Brownsville. Arch rivals
from the time the little town Of
Bessy was established, interest In
Brownsville-San Benito contests al
ways run high. Particularly SO on
the diamond.

two teams into action. The mines
have met but once this season and
then they put on q 10 classic that
has been the talk Of the circuit. II

Brownsville won In the memorable
game in which Leo Najo clouted a

the corral In great style and are
anxious to get 70 the Angels. They
