s He denies that there is sufficient cause for this action and asks for an opportunity to refute the charges that have been made against him, which has been granted by the Commission.
 Delegate WickerSham "sat in' on Oct. 28 at the hearing before the Tariff commission, which is Investigating the copper mining industry to determine such facts as may be relevant to the de- sirability of placing tariff on copper.
 The Delegate has received a copy of a letter written by Col Q. F. Ohlson, general manager ot Ithe Alaska Railroad, in reply % criticism of fur ranchers, par ticularly with reference to ship ments of live foxes by express rather than by freight, over the Railroad. Among other things ICol. OhlSOn states:
 The Railroad came to the Iconclusion that it was inadvis- eble to accept the responsibility of handling live foxes, mink and ether valuable fur-bearing ani- mals as freight, owing to the careful handling they require and the high valuations placed upon them by the shippers. As such live animals when shipped are usually intended for breeding purposes, the owners value them at prices considerably higher than could be obtained for them otherwise.
 As to the express rates, alleg- ed to be some 750 per cent high CT than freight, it may be stated that the express rate on ship mentS of this character is lower CT but little more than the freight rate would be, as the following statement will illus trate.
 '"The allegation that the re- fusal to accept live foxes for freight shipment has caused many ranchers to pelt their animals, close their ranches and staEt new where no such drastic rules are in force, is believed to he without merit"
 In reply to an inquiry as to whether or not a change should be made from the present prac- tice of shipment the General Manager states that it would be inadvisable to make change from express to freight shipment of fur-bearing animals.
 The Grand Jury at Anchorage recently submitted report showing the imperative need for a new Federal building at that town. The Chamber of Com merce last week wired Delegate Wickersham, asking for his help in the matter and inquiring whether the building is to be in cluded in the proposed budget to De submitted to Congress at the approaching session. After a visit to the Treasury Department the 1 Delegate wired that $40O,OOO had been agreed upon and allocated aS necessary for the Anchorage building under the public build

The Bureau of Fisheries con- cedes that the Alaska salmon industry has not been affected by the general business depres- sion that seems to be prevalent over the world.

WINTER HALTS UNIT B CONTRACTORS

Altho the McNutt & Pyle con-
tracing company has stopped work
for the winter on Unit B section
of the Beartooth highway, con-
struction still moves forward at
Quad creek, and according to A..
H. Johnson, superintendent, more
has been accomplished in the last
week than in the two weeks previ-
Gus.
McNutt & Pyle applied to the
Bureau OF Roads office for shut
down order last month, when the
snow began to get deep around
Beartooth lake, and the frost in the
ground made it difficult for the
bulldozers to accomplish anything.
About two weeks ago the order
came thru, and by this time Nc
Mutt has moved most of his men
off the job for the winter.
The fourth level of the Unit A
grade, says johnson, has been car
ried across Quad creek, and now
extends for distance of about 300
feet north of the creek. The alti-

shovel is almost 5000 feet.

INDEPENDENTS WIN
OPENING GAME OF
YEAR LAST NIGHT
High School Reserves Take
Over Grade School
Team in Prelim

Red Lodges Independent basket
ball team won its opener from the
Roberts quintet on the home floor
last evening, and altho playing in
ragged early-season form, had nc
trouble in more than doubling the
score-35 to IA.
Scoring by the local team was
done spasmodically, while the Rob-
erts players dropped in baskets at
less frequent intervals, when not
attacked by the palsy when under
the basket.
For Red Lodge, Hannula, Martin
Guintoni, Blazina, and Toffer lined
up against Herronen, Homi, Hunter
and the two PentiIlas of Roberts
Neither side scored for several
minutes, passing and muffing the
ball around the floor until Mar
tin broke thru and flipped one in
Tuuri and McLuskie went into
the game later4both showing up
well as ball rusfiers, with Squeeks
contributing a couple of baskets,
and Eli showing his usual reluct-
ance to shoot. Pay Day did most of
the tossing, outstretching the Rob-
erts boys under the nets for a to-
tai of seven goals. Hannula netted
couple, and converted more free
throws than anyone else. Toffer
was fast and handy man on the
floor, but un1ucRy at the basket.
R. Pentilla, Castor and Heron
en- did the heavy work for Roberts,
with LaValley becoming ambitious
enough to shoot couple during the
game.
Pat Sanderson of Bearcreek was
referee.

HOMES SHOULD Be

FOLK SAYS HOOVER
Financing Now Resembles
PaWnbrokers' Credit
Methods
CHARACTER rs ASSET
Homes Conference Seeking
Better Way

Washington, Dec. SLAP
President Hoover today told the
delegates to his conference on home
building that he seeks to do away
with the expensive financing of
home ownership that is now fore
ed upon people of limited means in
the United States.
Tho they have little cash, the
president believes, many people
have reliable assets if they pos
sess good jobs and good characters.
These people should have access to
finances that would do away with
terms and risks comparable to the
credit extended by pawnbrokers.
Addressing the opening session,
with Secretary Lamont beside him,
the president asserted building and
loan associations had so far found
no solution. He suggested that in
stallment purchase be applied to
homes upon the same terms as fur
coats and radios, with initial pay
ments as low as 20 per cent. He
linked home owning with good gov
ernment.
'There is a wide distinction be-
tween homes and mere housing,
Mr.. Hoover said. sT'hose immortal
ballads, Home, Sweet Home, My
Old Kentucky Home and the Lit
tie Gray Home in the West, were
not written about tenements or
apartments-they never sing songs
about a pile of rent receipts"
