some emotional readjuStment and ask
himself, What coed came of 1t at

AS one who has finished his first
balloon ride-a ride that lacked no de-
tail of what this mode of transport
provides-I recall ideas of ballooning
picked up In childhood and long cher
ished.
The chief of these was that balloon
ascensions were the particular feature
of county fairs and that their most
important purpose was to display an
acrobatic parachute jumper hanging to
a high trapeze. That there might be
some scientific use for these amazing
gas bags never occurred to me. My
low opinion of their utility was some
thing that shared with the rest Of
the world.

 Aware that Europe is en- meShed in d e b t S and with economic recovery and dis armament prob e m S to be solved, President Roosevelt is considering asking Congress for full authority to deal with the war debt issue as he sees fit so as to achieve his aim for international prosperity, but how far he will go, re- mains to be seen.

PLANT TO TREAT ADMINISTRATION
 GROSS TIES MAY BOARD HAS ITS BE ESTABLISHED FIRST MEETING
General Manager Ohlson Studying Project Gas
 Rate Cut Announced

Hope that it will be found prac- ticable to establish a tie treat ing plant on the Alaska Railroad so that Alaskan tie-makers can furnish the tie requirements for that road was expressed today by Col. Otto F Ohlson, General Man ager, who visited Gov. Troy here today. He is enroute from Wash ington to his headquarters in Anchorage.
 He was called to the National Capital to confer with Secretary Ickes of the Interior Department several weeks ago He is accom- panied north by Harold w. Shell, General Freight, Passenger and Immigration gent of the railroad with headquarters in Chicago.
 Believes Plant Feasible
 Col Ohlson believes it will be feasible to establish a plant to treat ties for the Alaska Rail road. He is now compiling statis- tics in the cost of installation, op- eration, transportation, cost of raw materials, and benefits to the Territory and the railroad property, itself. T am hopeful that we can build such a plant, and believe it will be beneficial both to the Territory and to the Fed eral Government he said.
 The superiority of the creosot- treated cross tie is so conclusively that there is no room for argument about that matter he declared. Lacking such a plant in Alaska, automatically, the tie hackers on the route of the rail- road and Southeast Alaska sawmills are shut out from bidding on the 
 Would Mean Much
 The establishment of a plant by the railroad would mean much to the rail belt and to Southeast Alaska, it was admitted. The road requires annually some 80i000 ties for replacements The tie-hackers on the road are capable of furnish ing not to exceed 25,000 of these.
 The remaining 55,O00 should be furnished by the sawmills of the Under present con- ditions, lacking a treating plant, this is not possible. If the De- partment of Interior finds it pos sible to build one. then all of the of the road can be filled locally.
 Col Ohlson said his studies have not progressed sufficiently to say definitely. that this. is practicable, but indications are that it will be. If it is, the plant will be built at either Anchorage or Seward, probably the latter place. He was not inclined to take the recent tie burning incident there very seriously.
 Lowers Gasoline Rates
 The immediate reduction of freight rates on gasoline by the Alaska Railroad was announced today by Col. Ohlson. A two-cent =,
