HYDAHL, Vnltereul Service Special Correspondent. Nome, Alaska, Feb. 1.—The most dramatic dog team race in the history of Alaska will end in victory at about S tomorrow morning when the "muslier" of the historic relay will deliver a precious package containing diphtheria anti-toxin in plague slricken Nome. It will he a victory of the old order, which so often passes. Al though the world has moved far ^ihead since dog teams first carried 0^Nhe thin line of civilization into the heart of Arctic Alaska, it is the trusty vehicle of the pioneer which is to deliver "hope'' to a town in the grip of fear. But in this emergency, the pre eminence of the old order may pass after all. it devoleped tonight. For anti-toxins which the dog-team re lay brings will not be sufficient and Nome tonight sent out a plea that airplanes he used to bring in addi tional supplies. Not Sufficient. Dr. "Welsh, the line doctor who has battled the. spread of the plague so successfully thus far. declared tonight that the million units of anti toxin being sent by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce will arrive too late if the relief effort is confined to a repeti tion of the straining, racing dogs, creaking sleds and shouting, whip cracking drivers, even if these again be the record holders of the entire northern territory. "The anti toxins which axe speeding toward us tonight on sleds may pos sibly check the ravages of the dis ease,” Dr. Welsh declared tonight, but they will not be sufficient. "If more cases appear—and that is likely, despite the fact that the popu lation has almost locked itself indoors in order to avoid the danger of con tagion—the shipments of more than a million units of anti toxin wttich I understand is leaving .Seattle by steamer. probably will be too laic, un less airplanes are used to bring it to us. Air Trip Feasible. "Messages received here tonight contain he suggestion that the gov ernment send the form ua filer. Brick Nelson. In a heavy plane capable of ‘ urking any wea>ii«r.

The trip could be made for most of the distance over the Ice along the wate. front of the Bering Sea. According j repenv . ■ 1 v, , here this ice. for • greater part of the distance.

Plan to Market Potatoes Given by Railway Man Financier Suggests Method by Which Producers of Spuds May Control and Direct Trade. Washington, Feb. 1.—B. F. Yokum, railroad financier, whose co-operative marketing plan is embodied in the Curtis Aswell bill, has addressed a brief to the house and senate agri culture committees outlining a method by which potato producers in his opinion might profitably organize, control and direct their marketing. By applying the marketing plan of the Curtis-Aswell bill to the potato in dustry, he said, the farmer instead of the dealer would control prices and distribution. The consumer would benefit, he added, from reduction of the present number of commissions from four to one through closer con tact with the producer. Assuming that 70 per cent of the marketable potatoes would be handled under his co-operative plan, Yokum estimated the expense at 4 1cent;, a bushel, including half cent to ap ply on a government loan, one cent for establishing a #50,000,000 perma nent Rurplus fund, and one cent for acquisition of warehouse property. He was quoted in a statement, is sued by q.he Fa rmer-to-Con sumer league, as declaring the president's agricultural commission In its report, entirely eliminated the necessary financial assistance to aid the farmer effectively to organize." “It leaves the bannrupt farmers still bannrupt," he added. “In the meantime, it Is quite obvious that the distributors will he placet! in a much stronger position, and they have nothing to worry about. The con sumer seems to have been entirely forgotten." 2 WORKERS NEAR DEATH FROM GAS Special TMftpatch lo The Omitliu IJer.

Producers of tlie major farm crops, such as cotton and wheat, were ad vised to "follow about, the same program of production as last >ear." / Increased acreages of these crops, It said, "are not advisable this year." Demand Stimulated. "General business prosperity dur ing I he first half of this year will maintain the -domestic demand for the better grades of certain products. "It is not assured, however, that the industrial improvement of the first half of 1925 will continue into 1926 at the same high level, and should there be a reduction in bus! ness activity as a result of over stimulation of business, a slackened demand f«»r some of the 1925 crops runy be expected.

"The chances are that the judg ment of mankind will oppose any war which has for Its purpose the extermination or annihilation of na tions of peoples.

Tiie picture of airships dropping bombs on sleeping eitls wss dis posed of by Wilbur with the re mark: "Vou can kill anybody when he is asleep.” "While It would be disastrous for a nation to go to sleep In view of all the potentialities of modern war fare, It is certainly wrong to pub lish and proclaim these extrava gant predictions as to the possible effects of future war. “We may not be able to prevent all little wars, we cannot prevent all local disturbances, but the na tions of the world should be able to forestall and prevent another world war." I Congestion Holds Up Major Bills Doubtful if Much of Admin istration Program Can Be Completed. Washington, Feb. 1.—Swinging into tlie final month of the session, the house and senate face increasingly congested calendars with leaders more than ever in doubt that the major elements of the administration program can be enacted Into lajv by March 4. During this week, the house will determine the fate of the admin istration postal pay and rate bill passed by the senate, also will act on tlie first public buildings bill in 11 .'ears and will pass the independent offices appropriation hill. At the same time, the senate will take up in order the house $75,(100,000 good roads hill, the emergency of fleers retirement measure and the house hill for the purchase of the t ape Cod canal. The last two meas tires are certain to provoke sharp < ontroversies. The preliminary move to translate Into law tlie recommendations of the president's agricultural commission will be taken tomorrow with the be ginning of brief hearings before the house agriculture committee. The senate committee plans lo start In dependent hearings Tuesday with s view to expedition, but leaders gen erally are dubious that final action v.ill be had on the program at this session.

The newspaper considers that Japan's re solve to treat with the Moscow gov ernment is due to Japan's desire to take up a position before the soviet government and the United States ran reach an understanding, which it declares is to l>e one of the first re suit* of the retirement of e-eot.-tary of State Hughes. "Russia's play is perfectly plain." the Temps adds. "Fearing Japan as an obstacle to winning Asia to bol shevism. Russia is making friends with Japan and seeking to involve Japan In an anti-European and anti American policy until the day Russia tan head a bolshevik yellow Asiatic world against the Japanese them selves."
