 ALASKA RAILWAY
Effect of High CT Rates Problematical, ,O0O,-
 900 Outlay Explained

Whether increase passenger fares and higher freight rates will supply sufficient revenue to reduce the yearly deficit that the Alaska Railroad has experienced ever since its construction is problematical, in the opinion of Col o. F. Ohlson, general manager of the system, who is returning to his headquarters in Anchorage after a business trip of -four and a half months in the states and who was in Juneau yes- terday afternoon while the steam ship Yukon was in port. N
 Railroad business will depend on the extent of development activities in Interior Alaska" explained the Colonel Traffic volume rises and falls with the operations of the large mining companies. Railroad officials are hopeful that the Fair banks district, in particular, will be the scene of increased work this year. Both passenger and freight receipts would be augmented Dy enlarged activities of the big min ling companies.

T was informed while in the States that all thc Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce excursionists, who will come t Alaska in June, will take the rail Iroad trip from Seward to Anchor age and that 50 of them will gt las far as Mckinley Park, anc possibly as far as Fairbanks.
 l "The increased passenger rate will not result in any decrease il tourist travel from the States, bu ! may curtail pleasure trips of resi-
 dents along the line of the rail troad A
