IMPROVED railroad transportation is enabling manufae-
on their business with reduced inventories that total
$4,000, 600 annually. On the basis of q total value Of
value Of ali manufacturer in the United States-this means
that improved railroad service is saving American business
at least the equivalent Of the interest charges on five billion
dollars. The reduced inventories in Illinois were effected
out Of a total annual volume Of business that is slightly less
than six billion dailars.
Not only have the interest charges been saved. The
amounts not needed in inventories at both the originating
and receiving ends OF the line and in transit, are released
for constructive investment. Without a doubt this has been
an important factor in our sustained prosperity. IL il one
from panic conditions following the resdjustment of security
values last winter. Very few If any businesses were caught
with large stores OF materials or stocks Of goods on hand;
consequently il was not necessary 70 write of" huge losses
as formerly happened. 1t will be remembered that there was
virtually no readjustment OF commodity prices 70 accompany
the lowered security values.
So-ealled "hand-to-mouth" methods Of doing business now
are vital factors in our entire industrial and economic
scheme Of things. The entire system is & dependent on excep-
tional railroad transportation and the railroads are justly
suited. That there are real benefits no one denies. And we
know now that over any period Of time the volume OF bust
ness transacted is as great or greater under the present
system as under old methods.
Sometimes il seems that the public u 50 accustomed to
if ever. recognizes the fact that even the most simple pur-
human progress. There is hardly a commodity in daily use
that does not reflect the combined services of n great many
people and few realize how much Of that service Is per-
formed by the railroads and what a small portion of the
consumers dollar ever goes TO the railroads for their
services.
"A case in point Is the consumers dollar spent for bread.
Some interesting figures have just been compiled showing
tion Of the wheat represents rs cents. The elevator margin
is rs cents. The -four manufacturer gets 6 cents. The
manufacturer gets 12-3 cents. The selling cost is 1914 cents,
the overhead chargeable to manufacturing i SIS cents and
IS ST. cents. The operating cost % the retailer IS Isl cents
and the profit margin to the retailer is 90 cents.
Superservice on the part Of the railroads is an essential
necessity today. The Missouri Pacific Lines appreciate this
and will continue TO exert their best efforts TO this end that
portation that it needs and must have.
I solicit your cooperation and suggestions.

Seward daily gateway., 1930-10-14

With William Sherman, ran ger in charge of this area ot the Chugach National Forest, MT. Holbrook has been engaged in surveying lands in Moose Pass and at Summit Lake, lay ing out 5-acre tracts and sum ner home sites in anticipation Of applications and in response to demands already made for parcels of Uncle Sam's forest domain. Eight 5-acre tracts were surveyed in the Moose Pass dis trict and 10 homesites. Tn the summit Lake area a number of home sites were surveyed with the idea that that district will become one of the choicest re- creation districts of Alaska, es- pecially after the building of the missing link" highway to connect Stewards present high way with that of Moose Pass. These latter sites, it was learn ed, were along the line of the new highway as now projected.
 Tn some respects the home stead law makes it rather diff ficult for the settler in that 1t compels him to take up more land than he can profitably clear and cultivate to an income advantage within the time pres cribed.
 we have endeavored to meet that objection in our 5-acre tract provision which permits 3 man to take up a small parcel Of ground without harnessing him to any hard and fast rule Of energy or production. All he must evidence is desire to make his home on the ground and to make such improvements as are necessary to fulfill that intent"
 The forest service feels, ac- cording to Mir Holbrook, that there should be closer relations between land-hungry public and a land wealthy forest ser vice. It is possible that the pulp lie does not know just what op- portunities they have. In par tnular the would-be fur farmer might well avail himself of the 5-acre tract provision because it gives him land enough for his operations. The truck farmer might secure suitable ground within the confines of the for est reserve for his purpose The dairyman might operate advan- tageously with grazing privileges in adjacent lands.
 T think that Summit Lake country offers some of the fin est summer home opportunities I have ever seen,' said Mr. Hol- brook. There is every natural advantage for the city dweller to step directly into the delights of forest wonderland With
