LARGEST SINGLE
 BLAST IN ALASKA

Forty-three thousand pounds of black powder and dynamite, de- tonated by electric spark recently at Cordova hurled one hundred and twenty thousand tons of rock into the air at Mile F,ifty-six, in the largest single blast ever at- tempted in Alaska, and the most successful shot" from an engin- eering standpoint, ever achieved.
 The shot was fired by the Cop per River and Northwestern Rail- way powder experts under the dir ect supervision of Supt. F. A. Hansen after three months of pre- paratory work, during which time coyote holes, three-feet square, had been dug into the mountain of rock for a distance totaling 500 feet.
 The powder which hurled this huge mountain of solid rock into the air, was placed in pockets from the size of a cube of five feet to a cube of eight feet. Tn all there were 13 of these pockets, the largst of which was charged with 4,5OO pounds of powder reports the Cordova Times.

This Alligator
Cannot Swinl

PHOENIX, AriZ, June 80 (U.PO
Another mystery has come out of
the Arizona desert to BATTLE science
and to start controversy which, if
placed verb to verb, would fill the
congressional record and then some.
This latest mystery involves cal
kali Al'', young 10-inch alligator
found near an irrigation ditch in
the desert near here. And like the
Salome, Arizona, frog made famous
by the late Dickwick Hall,
members of a fire department COM
pany who have adopted the little
fellow claim "Al" can't swim a lick.
How the alligator came into this
arid country is a problem which is
keeling folks awake at nights.
Some believe the crocodile came in
a shipment of produce or fruit-of
alligator pears. perhaps Others are
inclined to attribute his visit to
tourists from Florida or another
southern state and who abandoned
ZAP here to hitch-hike his way back
to his native swamp.
But all this controversy regarding
his origin doesn't bother Cal" who
slunlbers blissfully in the shade of
Nogales international., 1930-07-08

a service station where he has TAX
en- up residence. Occasionally he
crawls into his individual bath-a
shallow pan-and cools off and now
and then he goes to the pantry for
a fly, moth or bug which the fire
men bring him.
There is some talk about attempt
ing to induce ZAP to cultivate an
appetite for grasshoppers, which
pest destroys many thousands of
dollars worth of crops annually. If
the experiment proves successful,
CAP may go down in history as the
trail blazer for hundreds of other
crocodileS which would then be i'm
ported here from the swamps of
Florida.

 Immediately comes the thought that to reduce railroad service would make the deficit greater, but THAT 10 NOT TRUE, for the great saving in operation cost, and added mileage revenue, would far exceed the loss in traffic. One through train a week, and one mid week gas car local to Anchorage is all that the travel justifies, and that schedule would benefit every inter- est in this part of Alaska. I recog- nlze, of course, that if that were adopted, there would be an immed- late howl of protest, but a careful study of the proposition will con- vince Freight train service should also be reduced to the minimum. considering ONLY the cost of mov- ing, and NOT the demand for speed.

The failure of the railroad to
 bring Prosperity and Develop

 huge deficit in operation each year; the lack of new industries;
 in fact the decline of everything in the Railroad Belt rests who'll ly and squarely on the shoulders ot the General Manager.
 There can be no valid ex- cuses offered. each was given plenty of money and time to bring results. but from the time the Government took over the Railroad to the present time, the MANAGERS HAVE NOT BEEN THE MEN TOR THE PLACE. In making that statement there is 10 intention of bel littIing their ability; they are no doubt high class railroad executives with great experience and success ful records. They have recelVed their appointment on that reputa ton, and if placed in situation where such talent and experience could be used, they would no doubt bring forth good results. BUT, hose recommending the man, and he President in appointing him, and the man himself, fail to sec hat this Alaska Railroad has noth- ng in common with the railroads II the states, except the rails, the ,olling stock, and the crews.

ternational highway would NOT be shipped by train from there to Seward. A 47O mile train lift would mot look attractive to the average auto tourist. He would either re- trace his course, to the states. or go down over the Richardson highway to Valdez and take the boat there. It is improbable that the railroad at its present length would gain any travel from the completion of the international highway more likely to lose The closer the tour ist can drive to Anchorage, the surer he will take the train and boat south.
 I believe the above plan to be the best solution to the puzzle this railroad has been to Congress. It is the only way to divorce the Gov ernment from project that was never necessary, and has never ac- complished it's objects. TT IS THE ONLY WAY TO QUICKLY, AND rvHC--Y STOP THE DRAIN ON THE UNITED STATES TREASURY. It is the only way those results can be obtained, and at the same time start and stimulate real central Alaskan development. As a rail- road it will go on being a failure and a Treasury leak for an indefy mite term of years. Converted in- to an auto highway, it will bring prosperity to this Terri
 tiry, and save $1,0OO.O0O a year.
 If the above scheme asa whole, or in part, is unacceptable, I herewith suggest changes in policy, ard rad- ical remedies, in the operation of the railroad that I believe would alter the present negative influence the railroad has on the develop ment of this part of Alaska, to a strong positive one.
