SULPHATE FIND
CITED BY HOPKINS.
Holds $4,000 "Boondog.
gle" Emphasizes Value
of Projects.

A $4,000 "boondoggle" which re-
suited in discovery Of deposit OF
sodium sulphate, or glauber's salt, es.
timated to be worth $3.50, 100000 was
cited yesterday by Works Administra-
tor Harry L. Hopkins. In emphasizing
the value of the work of several hun
dred w. p. A. workers engaged in
scientific projects throughout the
country.
Discoveries Of definite value already
have been made In several instances,
Hopkins added, while in others, the
w. P. A. has enabled regular research
groups to advance their work greatly
beyond anticipated schedules.
With respect to the discovery Of q
10000, ,000-ton deposit of sodium sui
phate in North Dakota by w. P. A.
workers engaged on a survey OF natu-
raj resources, Hopkins observed that
"such spectacular feats as this, Of
course, do not reward the searchers OF
even the greatest scientists except at
rare intervals" and remarked that I'VE
shall not be disappointed If other OF
our groups fail to make the headlines
with similar startling discoveries"
Discovery SiIences Critics.
"In dozens of laboratories and ex-
detrimental stations, however" he
said. "our people on security wages are
plodding along shoulder to shoulder
with Phi. DIS. and experts in the end
less pursuit of scientific knowledge.
We are being roundly criticized in some
quarters by people who apparently do
not appreciate the values of research,
but Pasteur, Edison and Bell and q
few others like that were also laughed
at until they came up with the answer
TO some of the worlds most perplex-
ing problems.
THAT North Dakota project was just
a $4,000 'boondoggle' until the SUI
phate deposit was discovered. Since
then the critics have been strangely
silent.
IF any defense is needed for those
of our people working on scientific
projects, it is that each and every
one Of those projects is sponsored and
backed by scientific groups. Universe
ties, boards of health, museums, foun-
dations, and industrial and indepen-
dent research organizations have asked
for and are cooperating in every SCI
entific undertaking the w. P. A. has
launched.
Whether the layman is able to see
It or not, this work is making ma
terIal contribution to the life and
culture of America"
Projects Diversified.
The scientific projects now being
aided or prosecuted wholly with
w. P. A. funds are widely diversified.
In New York City. the reports and
case histories of all the mental cases
treated at the mental hygiene clinics
are being studied with view to estab-
fishing control over the most dreaded
of hereditary diseaSes-mental illness.
The Michigan Department of Public
Health has been aided in a study Of
whooping cough.
The Committee on Research of the
Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute has
sponsored IA projects for studies in
the fields Of aeronautics, chemistry,
and mechanical and electrical engi-
neering. The port Of New York
Authority has obtained w. P. A. funds
for a series of studies in visibility fore
casting for air and water transpor-
tation. New York University is spon-
soring researches in the field of pre-
ventive dentistry and cancer treatment.

Market Quotations
NEW YORK STOCKS

NEW YORK, Sept. "a. (UP)-The
stock market climbed slowly after
an uncertain start today to finish ir-
regularly higher in light trading
Motor shares featured in the ad-
vance.
Trading was cautious because of
uncertainty over the French none
tary situation. The Bank of France
raised the discount rate from 3 to 5
per cent-reyersing the govern
tempt to stop the flow of gold from
France. The bank reported furth
er oSs of morle than $55,000,000 in
gold in the week of September IS
and greater losses are expected this
week. This increased the talk of
devaluation of the franc and made
traders hesitant about new commit
ments
The consequence was that the
market moved duly. but favorable
business statistics provided a com
Portable background.
Motors responded to the step-up
in production schedules for 1897
models and optim ism on reception
to the new cars this fall. Chrysler,
after touching 116, climbed to above
11S12 for more than a point gain.
General Motors dropped to 6Sh and
then came back to 69A for a frac-
tional net advance. Lesser priced
motor shares made a fair showing.
Encouraging prospects for the
railroads brought some buying into
the group after early irregularity.
Indications were the carloadings
last week established a new high

more than n point. Southern Pa
cific, New York Central, Atchison,
Topeka IL Santa Fe and Pennsyl-

tional eaSiness

At the close wheat was up y to
3 cents, Sept. 113; oats were up 9s
to - Sept. 42A cents, and rye was
up 1as, Sept. S6B cents.
The market opened higher in re-
sponse to strength at Liverpool but
reacted later Under profit taking
ever. frightened shorts and they
covered actively. advancing the
September and December deliveries
u new highs for the season.
Lack of outside buying of wheat
futures in the last few days provid-
and as a result there were plenty
of offerings of wheat on the ad-
vance. Further pessimistic crop re-
ports from abroad added to the pre-
vailing feeling that the world sta.
tical position is bullish and spurred
late buying.
The Winnipeg market advanced
sharply on buying by exporters and
support induced by strength in LiV-
erpool. Export sales of Canadian
wheat were reported at 500,oOo
bushels. Another factor was the
wheat to the United Kingd ON.
September corn met with heavy
short covering the fact that notices
of intentions TO deliver only small

LEGISLATIVE OPPORTUNITY

Digestng the keynotes of candidate for the Alaska legislature fails to find any difference between sa- utaores of 1886 and 1884.
 Practically all were series of banalities which sound very much like rethrashing old straw
 Liberal appropriations" No fish traps" (when the policy of gradual elimination of traps fixed one with the government Constructive legislation" (the most hackneyed phrase that afflicted political campalgn), bigger and better penson,' ad infnitum just like it has been for the past 15 years.
 One of the greatest opportunities offered the Alaska legislature is to take hint from Washington and get into the industrial development and population band wagon.
 Business institutions which have grown great have achieved it thru advertising; publicity
 Like any other business, Alaska must be sold to the world by the same methods. Not only must the bus- ness tell the public that he has article to sell but he marshas his sales talk to prove that it is what the world has been waiting for
 If the Alaska legislature devoted its entire session. aside from current order of business devise plans compile comprehensive survey of Alaskan resources and opportunities for building great state provide about selling the Alaska idea to the world there would be need worry about what the federal budget for the Territory would be at the next session of Congress.
 The things most vitaly needed like roads, will the stream of settlers begins pour into Alaska
 It requires population for business to thrive. It qures population to give values city property and it requires diversified population, with the great col lection of ideas it brings, to develop country
 So long these matters are left to Washington, just long will Alaska be governed like colonial possess sion of some empire.

DOUBLE RAIL QUIZ
Van Sweringen Interests to
Be Under Scrutiny !,
This Week. !
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A double -barrelcd study Of the far
flung Van Sweringen rail interests
will be initiated this week at the In
terstate Commerce Commission.
Tomorrow the commission will open
an investigation into the corporate
mechanisms through which Mid
America Corp, top Van Sweringen
holding company, reputedly controls
a vast network of railroads.
A separate hearing will begin Tues
day on the Van Sweringen plan for
reorganization of the Missouri Pa
cific, one of the Nations biggest ran
systems.
The commission laid the ground
work for its Mid America inquiry in
an unexpected ruling on the applica-
ton Of George A. Tomlinson Of Cleve-
land, Van Sweringen associate. to
serve as a director of the Fort Worth
Belt Railway.
Already a director in a score of
other Van Sweringen roads and u an
active participant in affairs of Mid
America, Tomlinson was told the
hearing on his application would en-
brace a full study OF the holding
company, including what power it
exercises" over the operating carriers.
