EN- ROUTE FROM CALCUT-

EN- ROUTE FROM CALCUT-
Ia, India, to Rangoon, Burma.
One Of the many reasons Why !
enjoyed this trip so far Is that
I was able to inspect various
newspaper plants throughout
the world. Before leaving New
York I planned to visit the news;
paper offices in every town and
city in which / stopped. I soon
learned, however, that such a
thing was impossible, so after
leaving Paris I called on the edi-
tors Of the most important
papers only.
Arriving in Calcutta, I dropped
around to the offices of the
Statesman" The paper, was
told, had the largest circulation
Of any in the city, and when I
congratulated the managing and
circulation editors on the splen-
did job they were doing, they
seemed quite pleased.
Largest Circulation
eyes," said the managing
editor-"we have the largest
circulation of any paper around" !"
He turned to the circulation
manager.
Am I not right, sir?" he
asked.
Absolutely" was his reply.
"And have you told Mr.. He'll
niger what Our circulation
averaged last month";"
Forty thousand copies a day,
Mr.. Hellinger," he returned.
Eyes, sir. Forty thousand"
I had a hearty chuckle when
I heard the figures. There I
was in a city with population
of over one-and-a-haf million,
and the largest paper boasted
over the fact that forty thou
sand people read the sheet.
"You laugh at our Scircula-
tion, Mr.. Hellinger," said the
managing editor, but why, I
do not know. .
"Our paper is printed only
for the English speaking people
in and around Calcutta. And
when you take into considera-
tion the fact that in Calcutta
proper there are but thirteen
thousand folks in the English
colony, I think you will admit
that we haven't such a bad cir.
culation after ALL"
The laugh was on me. And I
apologized.
I roamed through the plant
for almost two hours, during
which time I heard a story con-
corning one Of the Statesman's"
reporters-or exporters, as the
case happens to be. It Is one
of the best examples of luck
that have had the pleasure Of
listening to in many month.

Future Looks Bad

Then, suddenly, the reporter
faced the future. He was just
as broke as a man could be
without applying for the first
vacancy at the poorhouse. Hat
in hand, he made the round
of the few newspaper offices
in that locality. When he was
being hired he always carried
his hat. When he was being
fired he always threw it.
There is little use keping you
in suspense-should you happen
to be in such a state. That re-
porter is no longer begging for
work on any newspaper either
in or out of Calcutta.

COMMUNICATION

The Gateway is deserving of much praise for the stand it has taken on all matters benefitting Alaska, and especially exposing the secret deals in the matter of buying croSsties for the Alaska Railroad, despoiling the people of Alaska of their individual rights.
 Oldtime railroad men, with years of experience on section work, are unanimous in saying the heWed Alaska henllock ties outlast three of Outside sawed and socalled creosoted ties.
 They claim the former sawed ties shipped in were cut from cull- ed out timber unfit for commer- cial lumber, and that the ties were cut from the outside, sap part of the tree, and that many of them split when spikes were driv- en in them, something that a hemlock tie cut from Alaska tim Der does not do.
 The socalled creosoting was nothing more than a smut on the tie that came off. From stand point of economy to the railroad the sawed Outside tie represents a cost of $3.86 a tie landed in Alaska, against $110 a tie for Alaska hemlock landed on the right-of-way.
 The Outside hemlock is worth less for ties (and used by the 5th Division Chamber of Commerce for comparisonD and not to be compar- ed with the Alaska hemlock tie.
 A very large "nigger" will be found in the pile of crossties some where.
