FORD TO HEAD THIRD
PARTY, SAYS FERRIS,
WHO PICKS McADOO
GRAND RAPIDS. Mich., June 25.—
"Henry Ford wants to run for the
Presidency. He will run on a third
party ticket. That is what he wants
to do. Wants to stand up in the
White House and say: 'The people
called me here.’ ”
In these words. United States Sen
atoar Woolbridge N. Ferris of Mich
igan, predicted that Ford would be a
candidate for presidency in the next
election.
"I could not support him: he is not
la Democrat; and neither is he a Re
publican. Just what his principles
are I don't know," Senator Ferris
added.
Senator Ferris said that he be
lieved it would be Harding against
McAdoo in 1924.

Super-Power Plant for
Nation Proposed.
Plans are under -way, it lias
been ascertained, for the develop
ment of a huge, unified, privately
owned elecrtlcal system, capable of
supplying the .power needs of the
-entire country. They are being
•backed by the Westing-house Elec
tric Company. Guy E. Tripp,
Chairman of the company's Board
of .Directors, has admitted. Ful
jillment of the plans, requiring
years, would entail an investment |
of five billion dollars and an in- |
crease of probably a billion a year
in money spent for electricLty. It
wculd offer a practicable method
of electrifying nil of the country's
steam railraods, however. Frank
G. Baum, consulting engineer, of
San Francisco, has developed the
idea beyond the theory stage.
RESUMPTION)F
TRAFFIC TO BE ,
HAD THIS WEEK
Repairs on Washed Out Sec
tion Alaska Railway Hast
ened by Gotwals.
Traffic on the Xlhska Railroad,
suspended several days ago by heavy
floods in the Nenana River Valley,
has been partially resumed and will
be completely reestablished by the
middle of this week, according to ad
vices received Saturday night from
Col. James G. Steese, Chairman of
the Alaskan Engineering Commission.
The damage to track and bridges
will be repaired before the time for
handling the Brooklyn Eagle tour
party and the Presidential party, it
was stated.
At present passengers only are be
ing handled to the Interior, a trans
fer of them being made over the
washed out district. Col. John G.
Gotwals, vice-chairman, is on the
ground directing the repairs, and has
assembled all available men on the
ground. It is expected that through
passenger and freight service will be
resumed by Tuesday.
Col. Steese will arrive here Thurs
day on the Alameda and remain until
July 4th. accompanying the Brooklyn
Eagle Party from there on the i
interior Itinerary.*
TREADWELL WILL ~
BEGIN KENO TUNNEL
Arrangements are no-w complete
for the pushing of the work no the
big Treadwell Yukon tunnel At Kono
Hill, and it will be drivon' as rap
idly^ as possible.- The work already
is under way. A fWUement to this
effect was made Sesterdny by Liv
ingston Werncckc, manager of the
company, who left yesterday after
noon for Mayo,
Mr. Wernicke’ states that the ne
essury site Is secured and the tun
nel will be run at the 600-foot
level, and will penetrate the htll a
distance of alboOT 3,000 feet, to tag)
the rich lode on which the cotnpany
Is now working. The'mouth of the
tunnel Is to be directly down hill
from the present camp of the Tread
well operations, and the camp in
time will be moved down to the
mouth. Mr. Wernecke stated yester
day that It will be several months
jerhaps before the removal takes
place.
The new tunnel, says Mr. Wer
necke, will be used both for drain
age and for the removal of ore from
the mines. He hopes to have it
completed wltbfh eight to teD
months. The datly progress with
the work will depend largely on
the nature pf the rock encountered.
It is hoped to make an average of
albout thirteen feet dally, which
would require 1* little more than
eight months for’ the total work.
There is a possibility of encount
ering new c-re vblns with the funnel
while driving for the main vein on
which the company is now working.
