By HAAKON H. HAMMER, Capt. Roald Amundsen's Associate. Writter Expressly for NEA Service and The Indianapolis Times. SPITZBERGEN, June 2.—On this rim of the world from which Capt. Roald Amundsen.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

work must be done in terrific heat, moisture and gas fumes. Up here the mines are right in the mountains. The galleries are high above water level, the average temperature is Ho degrees F., and gas fumes an unknown quantity. It is extremely beautiful ‘o visit a Spitzbergen coal m*ne The low temperature causes frost to gather on the roofs and walls of the mines and when one walks through with a torch, the frost glitters and sparkles like diamonds. < >ne can almost imagine having been transferred to Aladdin's treasure cave. But alas the diatnnds are only “frost" operation costs and transportation difficulties mak“ the Spitzbergen coal treasure a liability instead of an asset. For Spitzbergen lies three days by steamer from even the most northernly town of Norway, and its east coast is generally icebound ;tll the year 'round. But on the west coast where navigation is open three or four months every year, five coal mines are now In operation. Two of them are Norwegian, one is Swedish, another Dutch and the last English. Coal Is Excellent The coal found is an excellent hard coal, but climatic conditions naturally makes it very hard to mine during the long dark -mi severe winter. Some of the mines therefore are only operating during the summer. Another severe handicap is the short shipping season. During the

Illinois Central System Gives Comparisons in Regard to Rates and Costs Anyone who compares the present costs of producing railway service with pre-war costs and compares the present rates charged for that service with pre-war rates will be struck by the fact that railway service is being sold now at rates relatively lower than before the war. Below arc the results of some representative cost comparisons as applied to this railroad. The Illinois Central System in 1923 paid: $2.44 for the same quantity of locomotive coal that it paid $1 for in 1913; $1.87 for the same quantity of materials and supplies other than coal that it paid $1 for in 1913; $3.28 in taxes for every $1 it paid in 1913. $1.96 for the same number of hours of labor that it paid $1 for in 1913. In transportation rates, the increase is not so large. The Illinois Central System in 1923 received only $1.54 for hauling a passenger the same distance that it received $1 for in 1913. It received only $1.38 for hauling a ton of freight the same distance that it received $1 for in 1913. The letter figures do not have reference to the charge for hauling any particular kind of freight, but they show that the average revenue which the Illinois Central System received in 1923 for each ton of freight carried one mile was only 38 per cent greater than it w r as in 1913. This increase in rates compares, as noted above in dollars and cents, with increases in costs of 144 per cent for locomotive coal, 87 per cent for materials and supplies other than coal, 228 per cent for taxes and 96 per cent for labor. Only through increased efficiency and the installation of modern, costreducing facilities has it been possible for the railroads to serve the public at the rates which they are receiving and at the same time to meet the great increases in the prices which they are compelled to pay for the things thev must have to produce transportation. The railroads have borrowed and expended many millions of dollars to improve their properties. They have done this because of their faith in the fairness of the American people. Given time-and a chance to work out their destiny, the railroads will demonstrate their ability to serve the public adequately and at rates as low as are consistent with their costs of doing business. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. C. H. MARKHAM, President, Illinois Central System

three to four months of open navigation the entire year’s outoutput must be shipped and the loading facilities are as yet In most cases very primitive. The consequences are that coal mining on Spitzbergen up to the present time has been anything but revenue-bearing. During 1923 about 2,300 people were employed in the various Spitzbergen coal mines and about 250,000 tons of coal were shipped out from there, which is far above figures for previous years. All tile miner * and laborers are imported as the islands have no natives. All supplies and provisions must be shipped in by the respective mining companies as nothing whatever, not even potatoes, can re raised up here. I did hear about one radish being raised, but that was in a flower pot in a mine superintendent’s home. 1 nthc earlj days Spitzbergen, which consists of five large and many small islands. was a favorite place *“>r whaiers, particularly English and Dutch. Statistics sb v that between the years 1669 :• ’ 1775 about 58.000 whale.? were .tiled in Spitzbergen waters and the consequences of this ruthless killing is that the whale now is entirely extinct in that territory. No longer do the islands hold an interest for the hunter or the fisherman. Now it is the explorer-aviator who finds here a camping ground.

SHERIFF RAIDS (WARDENS Snider Says He Will Take Results to Jury, Following the arrest early Sunday of two men at the Rainbow Casino Gardens, on White River in the northwest part of the city, Sheriff Snider said today he would lay the results of his raid before the grand jury.
