DELEGATE DIMOND TESTIFIES AGAINST
 TRANSFER OF THE RAILROAD TERMINUS

 the Hou Sc Committee on Appropriations which has charge of the Int erior Depart mert appropri at ion bill, Ala ska' s Delegate Dimond, on January 24 expressed his oppo- sition to any proposal for changing the ocean terminus of The Alaska Railroad from Seward to Portage Bay.
 Briefly analyzing the subject from the engineering point of view, first investi-. gat ed 20 years ago, then turning to the natural hazards of const ruction, maint en- ance, and operation of the railroad termin- al suggested for Portage Bay, the Delegate empha si zed the government inve stment, as we'll as the value of privately owned prop erty, that would be Appreciated to almost nothing if the railroad should abandon it's operation in and out of Seward; he describ- ed and sugge ion to make the transfer as tout right fo1ly," and said it is highly inadvi sable even to seriously entertain the thought"
 The possibility of using Portage Bay for the coast terminal of the railroad was eloped before the government construct ed the road, "but after the most compre- hensive consideration, the officials at that time President Wilson and Secretary Lane declined to rec omend the route and instead placed the terminus at Seward," MT. Dimond told the committee. Using esti- mates in the stat ement made by Col. o. F. Ohl son, General Manager of The A1asKa - Railroad, who had testified earlier in the day, the Delegate said: "Nobody knows what the expense will be. It is suggested that the tunnels might be built and all of this IA miles of road constructed at an expense not to exceed $5,ooo 1000. And that, as Colenel ohl son said, was based entirely on the stimat es msds at the time the various rout es int 0 the interior of Alaska were examined and the engineers made their re- port." Mir. Dimond then reminded the Committee that "those same engineers stud jed the situat on and est imated that The Ala ska Railroad could be built for 35 mill lion do1lars." He cont inued, Ut has

Fetch Mccoy /
Held In Death
of Brother

Henry Clay Mccoy died at his
home on Sandy Ridge last Satur-
day as the result of blow in
f1icted with a chair by his brother,
Fletch Mccoy earlier in the week.
The two brothers, it is said, had
been on killing terms for several
years. Their dislikes came as the
result of a petty quarrel over a
prank played by one of the broth
ers on the other.
The fatal blow came as the end
of a quarrel that came up when
Fetch Mccoy visited the home Of
Henry Mccoy earlier in the week.
Henry had forbidden his brother
to come to his home again after
their disagreement. Last w e e k
Fetch came to the home, and a
violent quarrel came about.
According to reports, Henry
Mccoy ordered his brother from
the home, and dle@ Kn'
enforce the command. Fletch
backed out of the house and into
the yard. There he seized a chair
and struck his advancing brother
over the head. Henry was stunned
and fingered on until Saturday.
when he died. An examining trial
will be held before Trial Justice
Gallie Friend on Friday of this
week. Commonwealth Attorney
j. C. Smith and Sheriff John Hen
ry Anderson have made prelini-
nary Investigations. The Common
wealth's Attorney indicates that
the blow was struck in self-de-
tense. The Sheriff concurs in tina
opinion.

DR.. j. n. Hillnan
Speaks HereSun.

DR.. J. N. Hillrnan and G.. E.
Lovett were in Clintwood on Sun
day in the interest of the Emory
and Henry Forward Movement.
At TOO o'clock on Sunday eve-
ming DR.. Hillman brought greet
ings to Emory and Henry alumni
at rally held in the Methodist
church. Mr.. Lovett, chairman of
the Emory and Henry Forward
Movement, met with committees
and formulated plans for canvass
ing the county of Dickinson for
contributions to remove the in
debtedness of the college.
Under the auspices of the Dick
enson County Layman's Club, DR..
Hillman spoke to a capacity audi
ence at p. m. using as his topic:
"Christian Education in Chris
tian College," Prefacing his re-
marks with historical sketch of
the founding of Emory and Hen
ry, the speaker reiterated his
reasons for the necessity of the
existence of the small church
college. He emphasized the i'm
portance of this type of educa-
tional institution by pointing out
that she church related college
can and does teach the whole
truth on any subject which may
arise. This is not true, according
TO DIR. Hillman, of the state con-
trolled institutions of learning.
Turning to the all-absorbing topic
of the present war, DR.. Hillman
laid the blame for such a war on
the nations which had denied
Christ and his teachings by abol-
ishing the Christian church, name
ly, Germany, Italy and Russia.
This, he emphasized, will never
occur in the nations with the
church related colleges, and called
upon his audience for it's con-
tinued support Of his own church
related college, Emory and Henry.

Silver Dollars
T axes Place of
Scrip at Clnchco

Scrip is a thing of the past at
Clinchco, and it may soon be a
memory only in the other coal
and lumber camps of this region.
At the beginning Of this week the
Clinchfeld Coal Corporation be-
gan paying advances in main
Line" instead of the token money.
There are rumors to the effect
that all companies in this section
that have been paying advances
against time in the office in scrip
will now pay such advances in
real money. No exact reason for
the change has been made public.
However, since the change seems
to be general among industrial
corporations in this section, it is
assumed that some Federal regu-
lation is being complied with. 1t
has long been one of the aims of
organized labor to do away with
the scrip system by law and sub
stitute money in it's place. When
a workman got an advance on his
time, token money was given him.
This token money was good at the
company store for it's face value.
Other merchants in the communi-
ty accepted it at a discount of ap-
proxinately 20 per cent. Some
of the silver dollars issued at
Clinchco this week have found
their ways into the cash registers
of Clintwood business houses. 1t
is believed that the change will
cause keener competition n d
cause lowered prices.

Mrs. Catherine McAu|iffe, 80,
Here in Civil War Days, Buried
Native of ireland
Liked to Recall
Events of Sixties

A woman who saw Washington
develop out of the turmoil of the
Civil War into one of the world S
great Capitals was buried today.
One of her great delights in re-
cent years was to drive about the
city pointing out old landmarks and
sites. She liked to recall the STIR
ring events of Civil War days when
the city was massed with troops and
alive to the fate of Nation.
The second of II children in the
family of farmer in Abbeyfale
County Limerick, Ireland, Catherine
Wolfe McAuliffe was born October
81, l845, and was brought by her
parents to this country in 1862. She
Immediately settled down In Wash
ington with some of the family while
the rest went to st. Paul, MINI.
Father Became Contractor.
Her father, Maurice r. Wolfe, she
recalled, was a pioneer in Mime
sofa. He worked as laborer along
side of James j. Hill pushing the
web of rails ever westward. Mr.
Hill went on to make railroading
history, while Mr. Wolfe went into
the contracting business in st. Paul
They were of the sturdy type of men
who pushed the first railroad into
the Northwest wilderness in the
later 1850s.
Meanwhile, Catherine Wolfe had
met Patrick McAuliffe here and they
were married in 1887. For 20 years
he worked in the Office of the treas
urer in the Treasury Department.
He died February 81, 1886, a few
years after they celebrated their
golden wedding anniversary.
The golden wedding anniversary
celebration was one of the great
events in Mrs. McAuliffe's life. A
host of relatives and friends gath
cred to join in the celebration of
their half century of marriage. Mrs.
McAuliffe was really thrilled" her
son said in recalling the event.
Spent Most of Time Here.
During her 77-year residence in
the United States she spent most
of her time here. However, in the
early '80s she went to st. Paul and
remained there II years before re-
turning to this city.
Mrs. McAuliffe was active in the
affairs of the church, and her other
main interest was her family and
her home. At SO she was active to
the time she was stricken a week
ago. She. died Tuesday at the home
of her daughter, Mrs. Mary McA,
Stead, 1885 Shepherd street NV.
Besides her daughter she leaves a
son. Maurice j. McAuliffe, 4th civil
service district manager; two grand
children and three great-grandchil-
dren, all of this city. A sister, Mrs.
Annie Mulcare. lives in st. Paul.
Funeral services were held at 10
am. today in the Shrine of the
Sacred Heart Catholic Church, with
the Rev. John S. Spence officiating.
Burial was in Mount Olivet Gene
terry.
