Figures
What They Mean
BY A. A. PATTON,


NEW YORK. July 1O-With rail-
road freight traffic maintaining a
steady pace of some 10 per cent above
.. 1885 and rail circles looking for a
substantial increase this Fall, loco
motive makers hope for increasing
sales in the last half year.
Although orders for engines in the
f1rst six months more than doubled
, those of the previous year, $50 to 1872,
the total was far under trade eXpecta-
tiors.
. Analysts note loadings touched a
peak of more than 100000 cars weekly
In 1885 and apparently are headed
for 100000 cars this Fall. Should the
expected upturn in business get under
way in the cooler months, some hold
the 1.o0O,0 ,000-car level, inviolate since
late 1929, might be attained.
Locomotives to Be Needed.
Should this marker be passed, they
say. about 1900 additional locomo-
tives would be needed to handle the
enlarged volume. Even at the 10000
car mark, which is the more likely
level, practically every available loco
motive would be in use as the number
In reserve is the lowest in years, ap-
proximately one-fifth the total five
. years ago.
Another factor cheering manufac-
turers is that six out of ten engines
are over 20 years old, This means
they have reached the point at which
1t is cheaper from an operating stand
point to buy new machine than re-
pair the old.
Cost Factor Cited.
The cost factor incidental to oper-
alton of old locomotives was stressed
recently by Paul Shoup, vice chair
man of the Southern Pacific He said
expenses in April and May rose as the
result Of late delivery Of new loco
motives. Heavy crop movements
forced the road to use old engines
or two small ones per train, a costly
practice.
Railroads report several deterrents
to purchases: Cd Sharply higher
prices; ca reduced building capacity
and uncertainties over style and pend

BUILDING,
 PROPOSED SITE
 FOR CITY POOL
Swimming Committee Fav- ors General Recrea-
 ton Center

Favoring adoption of the South east Alaska Fair building as the site for the proposed public swim ming pool. The Permanent Swim ming Pool Committee last night considered tentative plans for mak- ing the building general city rec reation center.
 City Councilman G. E. Krause, voicing support of the Juneau Ath- letic Club, spoke on the advantages of using the fair building for the swimming pool site. Other features of the recreational center, Krause suggested, would be a roller skating rink, basketball court, rifle range, showers, lockers and dressing rooms.
 Two Proposals
 MT. Krause, who had conferred with J. F. Mullen, President of the Southeast Alaska Fair Association, stated that MT Mullen had propos- ed that the 8air buildings be taken over for city recreational purposes at no cost, with the provision that the four days a year required for holding the fair be made possible. Or, as an alternative, the Fair As sociation President offered that the fair itself be taken over by those in charge of the recreational cen ter, along with the present S10,000 indebtedness of the Association.
 FavoIing the former plan, the committee moved that a committee be appointed to interview officers of the Fair Association to ascertain whether they, as an established body, would be willing to undertake the responsibility of raising money for the project, should this plan be considered feasible.
 It was stipulated in the motion that the undertaking was to be a non-profit project. and that once the cost of establishment was paved, the center should revert to the city for future management
 HolbroOk Has Suggestion
 It was suggested hy Wellman Holbrook that since the need for a city incinerator is an immediate problem it might be made to heat the water in the pool by the same heating system.
 Although no definite plans were made, it was agreed that member ships of $1 per month, SIP per year, would be reasonable require ment. It was emphasized, however, that admission charges to the var ious recreations would be neces- sary in order to pay for operating costs. Those holding memberships would receive substantially reduced rates the committee agreed.
 Plans for ascertaining by ques- tionnaires the extent of public CO., operation were considered, and a committee was appointed to draw up an outline form this afternoon.

WerneCke Stops
 Over in Juneau
 From Mayo Mine
Two Tn ousand Tons of Concentrates Left
 on River

Operations of the TreadWell- Yu- kon silver-lead mines at Mayo, Yu- kon Territory, are progressing well, according to Livingston Wernecke, General Manager of Operations and Field Geologist for the Alaska -Ju- neau Gold Mining Company. Wer- Fnecke arrived yesterday afternoon in his Bellanca Skyrocket plane pll- oted by Charles Gropstis.
 Wernecke said that the Mayo mines, working in the Silver King, Elsa, and Hector ore bodies, had shipped 9400 tons of lead-sulphide concentrates down the Stewart River this summer with surplus of POGO tons left on the banks of the river when the last boat left the camp short time ago.
 The Mayo mines have been worked since 1921 when Wernecke first went into the region moving in recent years from the famous old Keeno Hill to Galena Hill. There Iare 180 men working three shifts in the mill and two shifts day in the mine, taking out lead-silver ore that runs about 425 ounces to the ton on the average.
 MT. Wernecke and Pilot Gropstis will fly through to the States and San Francisco California in a few days. The Wernecke family is we'll known in Juneau, having lived in the Capital City off and on for a number of years.
