He was one of the early supporters of the Alaska Railroad, and referring to it some months ago declared that it is development proposition as I understand it, and I am quite at a loss to understand how the gov ernment could carry on any wig rous development program in AL aska without the railroad"
 On November 12, 193O, when the subcommittee of the House Appropriations c mittee was holding a hearing on the Interior Department appropriation bill for 1882, Chairman Cramton is quoted as saying: With reference to the Alaska Railroad, at the time the government built that railroad, if it had been believed that it was la commercial proposition I think we could assume that the govern ment would not have built it, and would have left it to private ini- tiative to build the railroad. T was here when the act was passed and l remember very well the dis cuSSion. think probably the most interesting speech heard since I have been in Congress was MT. Wickersham's speech on the resources of Alaska, in advocating the building of this railroad. I do not see how anyone could expect to hold the department to a pro- fit-making railroad up there at this time"

 Jack McCord, known all over Alaska, flew into Washington on March 27 from Los Angeles. He had a round-trip ticket and had engaged passage to return south on the plane that crashed from the clouds March 31, carrying Knute Rockne and seven others to death in a pasture in the state of Kansas. But Jack was so busy around the Departments that he was not able to fly from Wash ington until last Thursday, thus likely escaping a sad fatality. He plans to fly from Los Angeles for Seattle and to board the steamer Admiral Evans for Juneau, later sailing for the Westward, where he has been raising sheep, foxes, etc.

 AND BIC SHELTER

JEROME, Ariz., July 3. iP)-The unsatisfactory price of copper has forced the United Verde Copper Company here to discontinue pro- duction of the metal, according to w. Val Decamp, general manager.
 Val Decamp said production ac- tivitieS would cease immediately, and the one remaining furnace at the company's smelter would close about the same time The United Verde is one of the largest copper mining organizations in the United States.
 Val camps announcement came several hours after Gov. George w. P. Hunt of Arizona is- sued call to business and pro- fessional leaders of the state to confer with him to consider ways and means of overcoming depres- sion in the copper mining industry.
 This conference will be the fore runner of campaign to obtain at least a 6-cent tariff on copper produced in foreign countries.
 The tariff, it was pointed out, represents the difference in labor costs between Arizona. Montana and other copper-producing states in the nation and South America.

Watson has been fortunate in
finding a large organization such as
the National Manufacturers to rep
resent, but Robby doesn't seem able
to obtain large and rich client, no
matter how he may try.
Perhaps it is the fact that he does
not loom so large in the senatorial
picture that keeps the interests
away from his door. And also per-
haps it may be because he has but
one vote to deliver
But, at that, you must remember
that big Business" wants reliable

GONE interesting observations as
~ to who senators really repre-
sent when they go to Washington
to do their political chores, con-
trary to the general thought that
they are elected to serve the
pee-pul, are contained in an article
in a weekly publication by that
omniscient self-styled Gentleman
at the Keyhole."
OF interest to HOLSTERS in particu-
lar is his comment on our own two
senators, James E. Watson and
Arthur r. Robinson.
Says the keyhole peeker:
Indiana: Watson, National Man
ufacturerS' Association. for which he
was once lobbyist, railroad, farm
ing; Robinson, formerly the Ku-
Klux Khan, manufacturing and
farming"
At least the paragraph is illumi-
mating to those voters who tend to
believe that senators, outside of
their party lineup, serve no one but
JTle voters.
That Senator Jim serves the Man
ufacturers' Association has been an
open secret for long.
1t is known that several years ago
he was asked to retire from his
senate post and at a large salary,
some say $4,000 year, handle all
the lobbying activities of the asso-
citation as its president.
No doubt if the voters of Indiana
reject the genial statesman, next
November, the new year will find
him in some capacity similar to, if
not that, outlined.

tation-that is nothing new to us

have added Anti-Saloon League to
make complete the catalog.

new AUTOS TO
GO ON DISPLAY
IN N. Y. SHOW
Models of 1892 Resemble
GreyhoundS in Chrom-
ium.
By United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-The first
OF the annual national automobile
SHOWS opens at Grand Central Pal
ace next week with costly exhibit
ton Of the glittering 1882 offsprings
OF the industry.
There has been, it is apparent,
no depression in automotive ideas.
New and startling color combina-
tons, streamlining to the contours
OF a greyhound in flight and the
extended use of chromium plating
have contrived to make these
models distinct innovation.
But, as usual, much of the in
terest will center on the "gadgets,"
the quaint miscellany of acces-
series designed to make the road
smoother for the motorist.
This year the devices range from
a cigar lighter that smokes its own
to red-ray lamp intended to keep
windshieids free of ice.
Combined Lighter
The cigar lighter, operated cleo
trically, automatically takes the
first few puffs to provide the nee
essary draw"
Another advanced lighter COM
bines a clock, memo pad. pencil and
holoer for twenty cigarets.
There are a number of so-called
frost shields to be attached inside
the windshield. Heated by energy
from the battery, the shields form
dead air pocket, preventing fog
giness on the inside Of the wind
shield and the formation of ice on
the outside because of the heat.
The red-ray lamp looks like a
headlight and penetrates the
windshield from the inside with al
most invisible rays.
Many Accessories
Anti-freeze solution evaporation
is prevented by a simple condenser
mounted on the radiator, which
catches the escaping solution and
returns it to the cooling system.
Another contrivance gauges the
freezing point of all solutions.
Other accessories include: An oil
conserver attached to the breather
pipe of the engine, reflex rear lights
of advanced prism formation,
shielded lamp bulbs to eliminate
glare, metal tire covers with built
in locks, disguised radiator ther-
mometers, overhead valve silencers
and new clamp that takes the
work out of removing tires on cars
with drop center rims.
The show will be open here from
Jan. to 16, before moving to the
Coliseum in Chicago.
