8 POWER TO RETURN RAILROADS RESTS WITH LAWMAKERS Interstate Commerce Commis sioner Says the Congress Should Act By *Assectatid Press Washington, Jan. B.—Congress and not the President should determine when the railroads are to be turned back to private management, said Interstate Commerce Commissioner Edgar E. ctark to-day, continuing his testimony before the Senate In terstate Commerce Committee at the hearins on railroad legislation. Yes terday he submitted a statement from the Commission recommending private operation of. the carriers un der stricter Government supervision. "To state it bluntly." added Mr. Clark, "I think Congress ought to withdraw from the President the power to turn back the roads on an hour's notice and Congress itscl cught to determine when this shall be." Senator McLean, of Connecticut, pointed out that legislation to re voke the President's power to imme diately turn back the properties would be difficult to get through Congress, emphasizng the possibility of an executive veto. Also, Senator McCtean said, the Administration ap parently has engaged in "propa ganda" in behalf of Mr. McAdoo's . five-year extension program.

"Dog Teams Must Keep Off Track," says: "Department of the interior, "Alaskan Engineering Commission. '•Anchorage, Alaska, Dec. 3, 1918. "Circular No. 349: "To All Concerned: "Drivers of dog teams are warn ed to keep their outlits oft the tracks and right-of-way of the government railroad. On the SewnrdAnchorage line and on the main line north of Anchorage, the space between the rails is used by dog teams greatly to the danger of the outfits and their drivers.

Sleds drawn by a number of dogs are a common method of transporta tion. and when snow-trails are clos ed by drafted snow .the newly con structed railway bed has been mono polized. as noted above. Another suggestive paragraph follows: only obstruction now on the Seward Anchorage line is the snow slide, or rather, two snowslides, at Mile 54 on the Seward division. Each of thc-se slides is about 600 feet long and forty deep deep." Discussing the past year's weath er record, the same paper says un der roads impassable in May: "From Houston northward in the Talkeetna district, the roads were practically impassable during the month of May on account of the depth of snow during the earlier pnrt of the month and subsequently on account of heavy rains and thaw, making them very muddy. Through out nearly the entire month, the Susitna river was frozen over, and ice did not commence breaking up until May 26. It formed gorges and floods and did some damage to both roadbed and supplies." Government to Sell All Nitrate For Fertilizer Through County Agents N'otice has been received by 11.
