OUT OF STATE
MOTORISTS UP
3O.I PER CENT

Registering an increase of 30.1
per cent over the corresponding
month of 1885. out-of state motor
tourists arriving in California dur
ing August totalled I'll 646. ac-
cording to official border checks
of the state department of agri-
culture announced by the ALL
Year Club.
During the first eight months
of this year total of 756,810 out
of-State motor tourists entered
California. an increase of 285
per cent over the same period a
year ago." said Don Thomas, man
aging director of Southern Cali
fornia's non-profit tourist bureau.
In conjunction with the motor
travel increases during each month
of the summer season, railroad,
steamship, aeroplane and stage
lines serving this area have es-
timated a volume business be-
tween % and 68 per cent ahead
of last year.
In addition to the more than
S124000.000 of new money which
tourists annually bring to South
ern California trade channels,
their patronage here affects a
tremendous saving to local tax
payers. During 1885 the state re-
ceived S2,67O000 in gas taxes paid
by out-of-state visitors and 81
247 ,042 in sales taxes collected on
tourist purchases here. These funds
in turn are used for schools and
highways in the various coun-

Oh love, let us love with a love
 that loves, Loving on with a love forever; For a love that loves not the love it
 should love l wot such a love will sever. But, when two loves love this loy-
 able love, Love loves with a love that is
 best; And this Ioye-loying, lovable, love
 lasting love Loves on in pure loves loYeliness. Oh, chide not the love when it's
 Ioyey-IoYe loves With lOyable, loving caresses; For one feels that the loYingest
 love love can love. Loves on In loves own Ioyelines-

SN0WMOBILE TO REPLACE
 SLED DOGS ON TRAP LINE

The last stronghold of the sled dog-the trapllne-is giving way to the gasoline motor, according to the Anchorage Times.
 In Super SnoWblrd," which will consist of model A Ford car with skis mounted on its front wheels and a caterpillar tread on the rear ones, Bob Mathison and h1s brother Charlie, will travel their trapline this winter in the Chickaloon River district.
 The Mathison brothers have sold their dogs and figure the new snow mobile,' similar to that in which Stanley Morgan of the Army Signal Corps travels the Arctic tundra at Point Barrow, will increase their output materially on the trapline.
 Where 1t was possible to cover about 30 miles a day with dogs. the Mathison brothers believe they can cover 15O in their gaa-powered sled. They believe their vehicle will be capable Of a speed oI 10 miles an hour. The Super SnOwhird, as they have named their vehicle, IS already constructed, l. is al hope.
 The Mathison's have mined the Hope district and trapped ill the Chickaloon district since about 1915.

ALASKA RAILROAD CLOSED
 FOR DURATION OF STRIKE

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Nov. g. Colonel Otto F. Ohlson, general man. ager of the Alaska railroad, sent a message from Washington, D. C., late yesterday in ersponse to de- mands by the Anchorage chamber of commerce and blamed the disloyalty of Anchorage to the railroad for closing of the line.
 Colonel Ohlson sat1 that if Anchor age had patronized the railroad in the past instead of aiding its com petitors, the road could operate now despite the maritime strike.
 Ohlson said that the railroad is a business institution and cannot ob- ligate expenditures beyond available funds.
 He declared that in view of the disloyalty of some Anchorage mer- chants who are patronizing compet- itors of the railroad, the demand of the chamber of commerce for con- tinued operations at a loss during the maritime strike cannot be well taken.
 Ohlson said that some of the mer- chants here and at other points on the railroad also patronized the roads competitors to the detriment of the railroad. He said that he could not operate the road now without a deficiency appropriation.

pected to desert their picket line to
sign up with the union. These two
matters were rejected, since the
sash and door workers will have no
other kind of union than the in
duStrial kind, having had many
sad experiences with the craft
pnion bureaucrats. Secondly, the
demand that they leave the picket
line to sign up In the craft union
shows that the craft unionists are
more concerned with getting their
dues than in the effectiveness of
the strike, since to leave the picket
line would give the employers the
opportunity to run scabs into the
plant.
Attempts were made last We'd
nesday to bring in scabs, and with
the help of the police six scabs did
get into the plants. However, by
noon all the scabs were out of the
plants, and to date the attempts
have not been repeated. This
shutting of the sash and door
workers by the C.L.U. seems to be
motivated by the desire to wear
down the spirit of the strikers.
Since the strikers are using STA
hall for their strike headquarters,
the reactionaries are making much
capital of this, and are calling for
punitive actions by the police
against this "outlaw'' union. Their
activities will no doubt prove un-
successful for the workers are con-

drivers strikes of 1884 for effec-

And while we are building court house,
let's have an adequate court house, antici-
pating the needs of the immediate future.
It should include modern Jail and sher-
ifs residence. The present county jail is
a disgrace, and there is no sheriff's resi-
dence. There will have to be new jail
in the near future, and it will be money
saved, because it will be cheaper to build
one in the new court house.
It is wise for the taxpayer to ponder
all this well. The editor of the Producers
News can see no reason against the build
ing of the court house. If there is, the
columns of the Producers News are open
to all, and you are welcome to your say
either for or against the project, and we
will be glad to print your opinions and
arguments so that your neighbor may be

paying for juice used by the lights
it now has and the old pump. This
is a sensational economy, consid
ering, effected thru the incompar
able generosity and benevolence of
the Montana-Dakota Utility COM
pany.
The members of the City Coun-
Gil taken by surprise were dazed
at the proposal. True, there had
been whisperings among them of
the economy of a pump operated
by diesel engine, but it had been
based on the theory of electricity
at 8 cents per kilowatt hour, in
stead of 4. They sat struck
dumb. A member is said to have
moved the acceptance of the pro-
posal, though other members deny
it. However, the records are al
legged to show that the motion
carried.
There was a lot of hukus-pokus
right away, and the power agents
