at the end of the year unfortunate, nevertheless the outlay represents a bold investment by the Government which will be enhanced many times in the future. The construction of hundreds of miles of railroad in Alas ka where people did not dwell has been pioneer enterprise of great magnitude.
 Without transporting facilities the Territory could not be developed. At present there are 470 miles of rail road on the main line, opening up wide hinterland. Since 1923, when the tracklaying was completed, much additional work has been done to place the railroad and structures in condition for economical operation For this purpose, appropriations have been made by Congress each year. Many miles of track have been bal lasted, steel bridges or earthen fills have been substituted for miles of wooden bridges and trestels. The saving in maintenance expenses, and substantial increase in earnings, have reduced the operating loss from $1,813,000 in the fiscal year 1924 to $589,750 in 1881. The total cost to the Government, amounting to $69,- 500,O0O, includes construction of tele- graph and telephone lines, wharves, hospitals, townsites, and dwellings for employees, and the operating ex- penses in excess of revenue. The rail- road serves as gateway to the ln- terior of Alaska, and since it's com pletion and improvement it is one of the greatest advertising mediums to encourage settlement and establish ment of productive enterprises in the regions rich in mineral wealth. The increase in tourist travel to Alaska in recent years is in part attributed to the improved transportation facili- ties. The ship lines from Seattle, with their commodious accommoda- tions, have brought thousands of visitors who otherwise would not make the pleasure trip. There are no tower 30 hours in the open sea during the weeks voyage from Se- attle to Seward. It s mainly land protected voyage, with ever-changing scenic views of greta beutay.

, The Delegate has been interested in securing for some residents of the Third division certain formation re- garding mineral patents in Alaska, with the result that letter has just been received from Commissioner C. c. Moore, of the General Land Office, in which he states: ''The records of this office have been examined, and you are advised that 125O patents have been issued up to and including Juliy 31, 1882 for mining claims in Alaska. This office is unable to ad- wise you of the number of claims en- braced in these patents, as this data not compiled and to do so would re- quire considerable amount of work, all of the time since your request was received having been required to ob- tain the number of patents. How ever, fifty patents of Alaskan mining claims were examined, and it was found that an average of three claims were embraced in each of these pat ents and this figure will probably apply to the entire number which has been issued"

The National Automobile Chamber of

Pkye johnson, vice president Of the

The climax to the situation, johnson
said, will come within the next four or
five months when the legislators of A
States meet to determine the State tax
bills for the next year. Before these
bodies, he said, are bills for drastic
increases in gasoline taxes and large
increases In motor registration fees in
addition to many other devices designed
to add to the burden of those who
operate automobiles and trucks.
All of these increases would be seri-

through the list there was substan-
tial volume of investment buying of sea-
soned bonds.
The market opened higher in every
department save that of German dol

heavy selling of Young Plan SIPS,

A esume of views by railroad eXecu-

feeling more optimistic than in months.
Railroad stocks and bonds today made
substantial advances all along the line.

WASHINGTON, Nov. ia new
move to free Tom Mooney and War

here, steps for habeas corpus pro-
ceedings before the supreme court
on grounds recognized as valid in
the recent Scottsboro decision.
Attorney John F. Finerty is in
conference with MONEYS New York
counsel, Aaron Sapiro and Frank P.
Walsh, and also with Roger Baldwin
of the American Civil Liberties
Union.
Following their decision, applica-
ton may be made direct to the high

the plea that substantial justice I'M
der the fourteenth amendment was
denied them in their trials.
The recent Scottsboro decision,
taken together with a former ruling
IN the Frank case, is believed to
leave the way open for reversal of
the California courts.
Finerty is confident that this is
the way of freedom for the Califor-
mans. At a recent conference in
New York. his opinion was shared
by felloW-1aWyers.
