with the financial syndicates of the
three other powers — the United

South Manchurian Railway1, Sino

Eastern Asia Industrial companies,
have submitted a joint statement
to the minister of finance and the
j minister for foreign affairs, saying
that objects of investments by the
new syndicate should be limited to
I the construction of railroads, the
| opening of government highways,
(and works on rivers and canals. All
j other undertakings, they declare,
j should be left outside the sphere of
• the new syndicate.
It has been stated that the
amount of the loan which banking
groups bf the United States, Great

of $25,000,000 each over a period
of years. The proceeds of the loan,
it has been stated, will be used for
the building of railroads and for
jthe general economic development

STEAMER CARL WHITE
ON WAY TO TOLOVANA
—
The steamer Carl White arrived
from Fairbanks last evening, enroute
to the logjam on the Tolovana, and
was in port about an hour, during
which time a quantity of freight
was taken on.
Mr. White was uncertain whether
| or not he would be able to reach
the logjam with his steamer on this
;trip, but if the water should prove
too low for his craft, he has a
smaller boat on the Tolovana river,
to which he can transfer his load.
The light-draft boat is a stern
wheel, gas-propelled craft, 25 feet
shorter than the steamer, and of
lighter draft.
Martin Klaich, Mike O'Brion, In
ternal Revenue Collector Dan T.
Hill, Special Liquor Officer John
Moe and several others left on the
steamer.

LOXDOX.—The question of the
increase in the tramway fares and
also those of the motor omnibuses
has caused widespread discontent
here lately. In some instances the
fares in London and the suburban
districts have been raised more than
one hundred per cent over those
charged in pre-war days.
The result has been that public
opinion has been worked up to such
an extent that nearly eveiy day
London members of parliament are
asking questions on the subject in
'the house of commons and deputa
tions are frequently seeking inter
j views with the London county coun
cil and the omnibus companies con
cerned.
The first step toward the increase
was the abolition of the half-penny^
fare, and latterly the reduction of
, the distance which could be traversed
for the penny fare.
The companies declare that the
increase is necessary to meet the
extra expenses which have occurred
by reason of the workmen’s de
mands for shorter hours and more
pay. The public alleges that the
additional cost of running is made j
up by the extra fares taken since
hostilities ended.
| An interesting sidelight on this
1 is provided by the accounts of the
Glasgow Corporation Tramways in
the city next largest to London. The
year that has just closed has proved
a record for the city. Prior to the
war. the fares were the cheapest in
the country, and have since been
maintained as before. The revenue
from fares for the year 1918-19
totaled £1,500,000, an increase of
£123,000 over the year 1917-18.
The number of passengers carried
increased by over 33,000,000. It is
stated in the report that 60 per
cent of the increase came from the
half-penny fares.
