THROUGH RAILROAD
SERVICE BIG NEED
Ali Passengers Across Con
tinent Change in Chicago,
st. Louis
BY LESLIE EICHEL
Central Press Staff Writer

New York, July 1.-Thera,s ont
thing-and only one thing-in which
American railroads fall behind rail
roads of other nations. One canno,
travel across the continent from New
York 10 Los Angeles or San Fran
cisco or Seattle without changing al
Chlcago or st. Louis
Alrplanes go through. Even buses
go through, But railroads, because
they tear to anger roads that ternf-
nate at Chicago or st. Louis, refuse
10 specify any single road with which
10 exchange passenger traffic The
otner roads might retaliate.
NOR does the government seem to
care
Yet the airlines gain more business
every. day, in spite of the modern
lied equipment on the railroads.
And the cities of Chicago and St.
Louis uphold the railroads in their
determinations not to run through
trains, for these two cities desire to
retain the doubtful honor of being
two cities through which no train
runs but in which all trains fernoi-
nate
NEW YORK NOT so NAUGHTY
New York, on the other hand has
several trains a day operating thro-
ugh it-from Washington and Phil
adelphia to Providence and Boston,
via the Pennsylvania and New Haven
railroads.
These trains operate via a tortuous
route and via perhaps the most ex-
pensive route, mile for mile, ever
The oil
ed. enter New York under the Hud-
son river proceed underground to the
Pennsylvania station, thence under
ground to the East river, go under
the East river to Long Island, thence
proceed uphill to the long He'll Gate
connecting bridge over the East river
TO The Bronx, thence out of the city
into Westchester county
CONSTANT SPEEDING UP
1t is strange that even the most
pro and pro-Americans underrate
American railroads in favor of Euro
pean lines
But the speed, the comforts, the
terminals of American railroads on
the whole far outrank these qualities
abroad.
American railroads are doing more
quiet speeding up of trains today
than people realize.
a few weeks ago the New York
Central took 80 minutes running time
off one of its st. cleveland
New York trains without any an
ncuncement. The train already was
among the speediest trains in the
world. The change was accomplished
as readily as if it were mere order.
And that is all it needed to be Am
erican engineers and American me-
chanieal men are literal geniuses. And
if they had not been hampered by,
the back-oreaking debts which finan-
cial manipulators loaded on the rail
roads. there would be few if any rail
roads in trouble today.

Dick Fountain was here leaning a.
galnst pillars and shaking hands In
his one-man campaign for the Senate
against Bailey opinion is that the
Young Democrats are almost solidly
for Bailey and will give him strong
support in the primary next June.
The candidate for whom the Young
Democrats showed the greatest en-
thusiasm however, was SANDY" Ora
ham. While they have the highest
regard and respect for Clyde r. Hoey,
Of Shelby, who was here throughout
the convention, as was John A. Nc
Rae, of Charlotte, both candidates for
the nomination for governor, SANDY
was the only one Of the trio who was
regarded by the youngsters as being
one of their own group. They liked
him before he ever announced as a
cNldidate for governor and before he
announced he would advocate a State
liquor control and liquor stores law
and a reduction in the sales ta<. This
latter announcement made him more
solid than ever with the young men
and women who compose the Young
Democratic clubs and they really

at esveral of the gatherings and meet
ings. If Graham can generate only
half as much enthusiasm among the
older Democrats as he has among
the youngsters there is not much
doubt but that he will win the nom

although they concede that Hoey is
a powerful opponent and capable of
waging a devastating campaign, es-
pecially among the older Democrats,
While Senator W. P. Horton, of
Chatham county, was the only an
nounced candidate for lieutenant gov
ernor attending the convention, other
prospective candidates, as Senator
Harris Newman, Of Wilmington; Sen
ator Carl L. Bailey, of Plymouth,
Washington county; former Senator
George McNeill, Of Fayetteville, and
WI. Lumpkin, of Louisburg were al
so present. But Of these, most of the
talk was concerning Lumpkin, and
most of the delegates seemed to think
that Lumpkin would win the nomina-
ton if he should run-and many were

the tolls from the Dare county bridge
SO that by July 4 it will be possible
to drive all the way from Currituck
to ManteO, across both the Wright
Memorial andi Dare county bridges
without having to pay any tolls. When
these tolls are removed, there will not
be another toll bridge left in the State
and it will be possible to drive to any
section of the State without having to
pay any bridge charges.
Last summer the State Highway
and Public Works Commission pur>
chased the toll bridge leading from
Wilmington to Wrightsville Beach
and from Morehead City to Atlantic
Beach and made them free to the pub
tic, os that people could drive to these
two leading beaches without having
to pay any tolls. 1t will now be pos
sible to drive to Kill Devil Hill. Nag's
Head and Manteo without having to
pay any bridge tolls. The highway
commission has been negotioating for
the purchase Of the Wright Memorial
bridge for more than year.

also proved to be as popular as ever
with the Young Democrats kho pro-
baby had as much to do with elect
ing him to the Senate as any other
group. But Reynolds does not come
up for denomination unt1l 1888, with
the result that it is almost too far
ahead to cause umch discussion at
the present time. There is no doubt
that ne still rates. high with the
younger element in the party, how
ever.
Until about a year ago, Senator
Bailey did not rate very we'll with the
Young Democrats. But he "got right"
with the youngsters as result Of the
soul-baring speech he n1adef before
them year ago at their convention
in Asheville, and as the result Of some
very effective patronage which he has
managed to throw their way in re-

garded as virtually certain that he
will become a candidate for lieutenant
governor. There were also indications
that Newman would not be a candi-
date but would support Lumpkin in
stead.
There was also much enthusiasm
for Thad Eure for secretary of state,
rather than for either Stacey W.
Wade or mike" Dunnagan, though
both of the latter were here and
mingling with the delegates. But the
youngsters showed very plainly that
they were for Eure, who was one of
their own number and one Of the sec
retaries of the convention.

Frost Comes Earlier In
Mich. Than MatanuSka

PALMER, Sept. 17.-According
to letters received here, frosts oc-
Cured in northern Michigan and
Wisconsin earlier this fall than
they did in the Matanuska Valley.
The first frosts in the valley oc-
Cured last week. According to the
letters, frosts occurred in Battle
Creek, Michigan, and in sections of
northern Michigan and Wisconsin
on September 3.
The frosts in the Matanuska Val
ley have been very light, but have
nipped some of the potato vines
and other vegetable tops.
Harvesting of hay is under way
in all parts of the valley Hundreds
of tons of oats and red top hay are
being cut. The fields present a
beautiful sight with their hundreds
of haycocks and with harvesters
busy raking and stacking the wide
swaths of newly cut crops.
The AFRO is cutting several
hundred tons of wild hay for the
livestock of the colonists, and will
purchase extensively from the pio-
neer farmers.

APPROVES 5
ALAS. LOANS

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 81.
Delegate DimOnd said today that
five Alaskan non-federal public
works projects totaling $329,45O in
loans and grants contained in the
public works program had been ap-
proved by President Roosevelt.
The following projects were list
ed by Dimond and the figures are
the total of loans and grants:
Valdez-School building, $4,000.
Anchorage - Municipal building
and other city improvements, $50, =
$50.
Cordova - Municipal improve
ments, S75,75O.
Petersburg-Street improvements,
$4,000.
Territory of Alaska - School
buildings, $41,150.
Delegate Dimond said that revi-
sion of the Petersburg allotment
probably would be made in view OF
the city's authorization to incur an
Indebtedness of only $4,000, while
the loan allocated was $4,000.
Wrangell's application for a loan
and grant to rebuild Front street
has not yet been approved.

Brueger Gives $50 To
Start ANB Hall Benefit

After the women sinners of the
ARB Packing Company announced
last week that they were going to
give an A. N. B. hall benefit dance
tomorrow night they found that a
number of others would be glad to
help in the enterprise.
A. R. Brueger authorized a do
nation of fifty dollars by the ARB
Company to start the benefit and
the sponsors of the dance now in
elude the entire fish house crew.
The dance is scheduled to start
at ten o'clock and music, promised
from four different groups, will all
be donated. Lunch will be served
upstairs.
Much remains to be done to the
nall to get it in shape for the meet
ing of the grand camp of the Alaska
Native Brotherhood in November at
which time several hundred Natives
from all over southeastern Alaska
will be in Wrangell.
A. N. B. members will donate
labor toward finishing the hall but
they need money to buy materials
and it is expected that a gratifying
response will be shown by generous
buying of tickets for the dance to-
morrow night.

MARINE FUNERAL HELD FOR
JUNEAU MAN AT TAKU INLET

Funeral services for William D.
(Pop) Bayers of Juneau were held
Sunday afternoon at l o'clock at
the chapel in the c. w Carter Nor
tuary, followed by committal SER
vices aboard the Wanderer when the
remains were consigned to the wa
ters of Taku Inlet. Kinky Bayers
nephew of the deceased, was captain
of the Wanderer on the funeral voy-
age.
William R. Bayers dropped dead
from a heart attack while walking
from Douglas to Juneau on August
II, accompanied by Wyatt King
man. He was born in New Bruins
wick, Canada, on January %, 1872,
and was a resident of Juneau for
many years. Two brothers, Harry G.
Bayers, who died in 1882, and
Lloyd P. Bayers, who died in 1884,

sighted swimming to the opposite
shore. Word was sent below and
everyone was all excited. Then the
crew almost laughed themselves in
to Mysteries as the dignified Mr..
Jennings dashed on deck clad in a
violent colored bathrobe flappinG
around his skinny legs, his face
completely covered with thick shaw
ing lather. Eventually, the pictures
were taken and the wolf gathered
in as a trophy. Another time four
wolves were seen together on the
beach"
Brown Bear Pictures
The salmon run was at its peak

and choked with salmon that
struggled up through rapids and
leaped falls to reach their spawn,

were taken.
The camera equipment would be
packed up the creek until well beat
en- bear trails were found. Then on
the opposite bank a blind of brush
would be constructed and the CAM
era well hidden. Around o'clock
in the afternoon the great brutes
would drift out of the heavy forest
like silent shadows and before the
watchers could realize it the
brownies would be in the stream
fishing.
At the first detection of the
whirring sound of the camera in
action heard above the ripping run
ming water the fishing stopped in
stantly and the bears would ap-
proach the blind until they could
peer through the brush and see the
occupants when they would prompt
ly leave the creek.
This difficulty was overcome by
covering the cameras with a spec
tally constructed sound box After
that the daily habits of the brown
les were recorded with success by
Mr.. Jennings.
Big Gun Needed
He was the only one of the party
who took out big game license for
shooting. He hunted alternately
with Considine and Ed Jahnke, a
Juneau guide and was successful
in filling his limit of two brown
and two black bears.
Mr.. Jennings brought back from
recent African trip a heavy Brit
ish Magnum rifle of .375 calibre 4"
Considine stated. This is used on
such game as buffalo, rhino and
elephant and after his hunting ex-
perience here Mr.. Jennings sure
agreed that it takes an elephant
gun to make an Alaskan brown bear
stay put"

Indian Woman browns
In Fall at Juneau Dock

Mrs. Jimmy Jack, young Indian
woman, drowned early Sunday
morning at the Pacific Coast Dock
at Juneau. Mrs. Jack, who is re-
ported to have been accompanied by
two companions, a man and a
woman, fell into the water at about
a. N. at a point where repairs
are being made on the dock. The
portion of the dock where the re-
pairs are being made was barricad-
ed and how the woman got through
this is a mystery.
The Fire Department was called
to the scene and the body of Mrs
Jack was discovered floating
among the piles, buoyed up by all
imprisoned in her clothing. The
body was taken aboard skiff, re-
moved to the dock surface and re-
suscitation methods, including use
of the Fire Department inhalator
we're applied. Mrs. Jack failed to
respond to efforts to revive her
she was pronounced dead by Dr.

Cattle Prices Likely
TORiSe Next 5 Months

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES price S
are expected to average much high
81 the remainder of this year than
asst, says a report of the Bureau OF
Agri cultural Economics The re-
port attributes the increase to the
fact that slaughter supplies during
the next five months will be some
what smaller than in the cores
ponding period of 1884 and because
of improved consumer demand.
Higher prices for better grades
of slaughter cattle are in prospect
from now until late fall or early
winter, and prices of the lower
grades also may advance, especially
if there is strong demand for
cattle for feeding and restocking,
the report predicts.
On the other hand the bureau
says that prices of the better grades
of slaughter cattle during the first
half of 1886 may average less than
in the corresponding period of this
year, due to the probable increase in
marketing of granted cattle. A
much stronger consumer demand
for veal and beef this year is re-
ported. Indications point to further
improvement during the coming
months, it was said.

Lee Considine, who is a guide on
the hunting and cruising yacht
Westward, returned this week from
Prince Rupert, British Columbia,
where j. F. jennings and party were
delivered to board the Canadian
National enroute to their home in
Chicago.
The party, consisting of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jennings, Mr.. and Mrs. McCor-
mack, and Mr.. and Mrs. Clague, for
the past month have been cruising
through southeastern Alaska waters
while Mr.. jennings secured a scenic
travelogue and wild life pictures for
his company, the Acme Educational
Film Corporation of Chicago.
Mr.. jennings work takes him to
the unusual places of interest in ev-
cry country and he left Alaska pro-
claiming this as one of the wonder
trips of the world. Nowhere, he said,
had he found scenic beauty COM
bined with such an abundance of
wild life and so easily accessible.
Scenic Spots
At the beginning of the trip Mr..
jennings asked CoRsidine to name
what he considered the three most
beautiful scenic spots in Alaska.
The first district named by the
guide was the mainland coast be-
tween the Stikine and Taku rivers,
the next, Baranof island and the
third, the Glacier Bay National
monument. All of these are in
southeastern Alaska. If a fourth
choice were to be named Considine
stated it would be the Mount Nc
Kinley district in central Alaska.
A wide variety of pictures were
obtained by Mr.. Jennings, states
Considine. In some of the glacier
bays the yacht was forced through
the tightly packed drift ice almost
to the face of the glacier in order
to photograph herds of seal that
were sleeping and summing them
selves on the ice floe. In Tracy Arm
bands of wild goat were sighted
high up on a mountain side. Jen-
nings ordered the engines stopped in
order to quiet all vibration He then
mounted his camera on the pilot
house and attached a 20 power tele-
photo lens to the camera and the
mountain goats became unknowing
actors in scene that will be of in
terest to many audiences when
shown on the screen in motion pic
ture houses.
A school of killer whales was
followed an entire day before sat
tsfactory pictures were obtained.

Anchorage Reports Six
Cases Of Scarlet Fever

SIX cases of scarlet fever were
reported last week at Anchorage
and city authorities acted to pre-
vent possible spread. The patients
were placed III the city isolation
hospital and all children who were
exposed were immunized against
the disease.
DR.. Romig, city health officer, ex-
pressed the belief, according to the
Anchorage Times, that scarlet fever
came to Anchorage from the Palm
er colony in the Matanuska Valley
where cases have been under treat
ment for some time.
He pointed out that cultures are
sent from Palmer to the Anchorage
hospital for study to determine the
presence of the scarlet fever germs
when the illness is suspected. These
cultures have been handled by
Frederick J. Braun, superintendent
of the hospital, he said, and it ap-
pears that he fell victim to the
disease he was helping combat.
Although there is no definite way
of determining how the children
acquired the illness, DR.. Romig ex-
pressed the belief that it, too, came
from Palmer. He urged parents to
exercise care in taking their child
rem to the colony.
