By Ernie Pyle Palmer, Sept 7. It has been two and a half years since the Matanuska colonists piled off the train up here to start life all over again. So it seems time now to ask: "How are they doing?" Well, IS of the 170 colonists are self-supporting today. That means they are actually making their own living, without any more borrowing from the government.

And the other 1557 Well, they range all the way from farmers just about overHhe hump, down to those who don know where the next drink of whiskey is coming from. Casta Income Small Let's sort of line the thing up, and see how the colonists stand: INCOME Consists of whatever they get for their butter, eggs, chick ens, pork, Deer, vegetables, it probably runs from $10 to $50 a month. Also whatever they make doing relief work for the Corporation. And whatever they make clearing their own land. By working like a Trojan, one man can clear an acre in 10 days.

For this he gets $50 from the government but he has to pay it back. DEBTS Every month the colonist gets a bill, telling' how much he owes the government. This bill in cludes his original stock, implements, furniture, the supplies he has got on credit It doesn't include his house, barn, or land. The colonists' bills run from $2,000 to $15,000. THE PAYOFF Recently there was a story about some colonist who got mad and left because he wanted to start paying up on his debt and the management was so chaotic they couldn't even figure out how much he owed.

Well, that is true, but it isn't auite the way it sounds. The government knows how much the man owed, all right But it doesn't know how mucn it going to ask him to pay. See Debt-Scaling Move For the government is going to cut down all these debts: No farmer could ever scratch $25,000, plus a living, out of these 40-acre tracts, The government knows that It may be something like this if a farmer's total debt amounts to $12,000, he may be handed a bill for final re payment of $8,000. (That's just my guess, ana not an official figures.) Shortly, a two-year plan will go into effect It will give each colonist who needs it enough-work-relief to meet nis running expenses. Each col' onist will thus be definitely suh sidized for two more veara.

The government expects all colonists to be on their own feet within two years. But I don't think they will: It is my offhand guess that it win oe iu years. How-Colonists Feel For two days I have driven round over Matanuska Valley in a borrowed car, all by myself, stopping ana talking to whomever i ran onto. I have talked with at least a dozen farmers or their wives. None of them was unwilling to talk.

Most of tnem were pretty well satisfied. Al most everyone had some criticism. But most of them were optimistic, and sold on the idea that they could mane a living. The first place I stopped was the I ivi'i and right, Farmer Fredericks his barn and chicken coop. The specialising In raising chickens.

Red was followed by a succession of exasperating failures, including loafers and malingerers, as well as some "earnest little incompetents, and things were in a bad fix on the night that Woodrow Wilson was elected the first time. Red walked in uninvited, tossed out two kids 'who were attempting to handle his old job, and hired himself back, to remain until he died, a couple of years later.

Mr, Scinaldi says that Red Manning (may he in peace) may have been a good office boy, but that he is one who can do and has done the work of three office boys. Mr. Scinaldi, whose parents were born Sicily, rather pointedly states that he once did the work of two Irish kids, 'who reported, sick, as well as his own. Red Manning was Irish, and Mr. Scinaldi has been privately informed that the boys he replaced were Italians.

He says that on the day he relieved the two Irish boys and carried on his own too, he made more than 600 carbon-and-flimsy books for the telegraph operators and besides running errands and handling copy. "Some day," he says, would like to show you how I can make books." i Helps to Scoop the Town All right! Your correspondent will drop around some day, but John Scinaldi has challenged an expert Your correspondent doesn't want to boast, but he was making books in the HX, or Chicago, Bureau of the U. about the same time that Red Manning was working in New York. He also had other duties. He was writing a condensed version of the day's news on the old-fashioned, invisible Remington sau sage grinder and spending a dozen' or more of from-five to twenty minutes a day in a tele-phnoe booth, phoning this intelligence to shorthand receivers at small dailies in Elgin, Galesburn.

Porte and so forth. But he was always being called on to pinch-hit for the office boy because the office boy was always enjoying poor health or his grandmother was at death's or. his father had: got and jspent- all-; themoney in the house, not leaving him carfare. The Old Man, Mr. Conkle, frequently changed office boys, but they were all alike, if not worse.

Even if they did come to work, they would take an hour to chase a can of coffee for one of the operators, and you could find them riding up and down in the ireight elevator just for the travel So one day your correspondent asKea tne uia Man lor ootn joos ana the pay thereof, and the Old Man said all right Your corres indent then began storing away carbon and 1 flimsy books for emergencies. He soon used up all the carbonand flimsy in stock, and the Old Man got another supply from New York, which quickly vanished, too. There were books hidden everywhere, and finally the Old Man complained because the carbon was drying out from exposure to the1 air. John Scinaldi may be pretty good, but he is challenging the only newspaper office boy in all history who made too. many books.

Your correspondent is not totally Irish, but he is entirely non-Sicilian, and he doesn't believe that any race has a special gift for office boys. It is all a matter of individual knack and know-how. Be Challenges An Expert A long time ago the Chicago American had a very good boy named Louie Cohen, a sallow, homeless Jewish kid from New York, who sometimes went out with the photographers to run plates back to the office. Louie once helped to scoop the town on some important pictures by a quick job of thinking. The photographer was an Ulster Irishman named Jack Palmer, who loved to fight and had his whole side blown out by a bullet while serving with the Canadian Black Watch in France, but came back to take news pictures for several years.

He was one photographer who could not be assaulted easily This day Jack took some pictures ana a crowd went Biter mm. vhnv. at Louie Cohen grabbed the plates, let himself into a police booth with his own key, and phoned a riot call to the station house, while Palmer stood outside belting out guys with his camera, box. Presently the cops arrived in their blue tallyho and rescued Jack, Louie and the plates, and your correspondent would like to add that Louie got a bonus and a dollar raise, but he will just stand on the facts.

"Oh, I hope so," Heroux said. "I've really got my heart set on this place. It's the only real home of our own we've ever had." Matanuska farmers don't, of course, look any different from other-farmers.

And yet thereb a difference, a difference in spirit.1 It has been created in them, I believe, sinra their arrival here. The government has furnished them everything (even though they do have to pay it back); the government has advised them, sheltered them, lent its shoulder for them to weep on. And all this has developed in them what you might call a "baby 1 The colonists lean on the government. Little of the farmer's notorious independence is gone at Matanuska. v.

Crop Limitations Farming itself is different in Matanuska -from what it was back where the colonists came from. Up here you don't stand and look across vast fields of growing grain. And you never will, either. For big crops, grown directly for the market can't be raised up here. Corn doesn't grow at all.

And only a little wheat And fruit trees don't thrive. After vegetables, the main crop is vats and beans, mixed. They say it makes wonderful feed, even- for hogs. Any kind of a legume crop does well here. Potatoes flourish.

So does hay. The Matanuska colonists have often been referred to as "cream puff I guess that's a fair title in a way, for they do have every modern comfort that a farmer in Father Irwih Returns To City Rev. N. J. Irwin, a native of Ashley who has been curate at St.

Duteher I. on mention.) By Willis Thornton VIA Sanrlo BUST Oom.pand.nt Washington, Sept 13 Many people will remember that the entire rail road system of the country be came "public business" during a period of the World War, and that the govern ment came within an ace oi taxing it over on a per-m a basis when the war was over. But ot so many will remember that the barked at that Duteher time on a transportation system of its own, which is still operating, still the subject of controversy ss it was then, and today a tremendous factor in the transportation system of the country. This is the Inland Waterways Cor poration, familiarly as the Federal Barge Lines. Last year it operated water-transportation lines on the Mississippi, Missouri, Illinois, and Warrior River systems.

It operates the barges and terminals, and even runs a railroad connecting the Warrior River system with the Birmingham steel district II. S. Went Into Business Ever since the government was first established, it has poured millions ot dollars into widening, deepening, and keeping open the rivers for transport Nobody ever objected to this except an occasional taxpayer, but it was not until 1918 that the logical step was taken. The way to see to it that some good came out of the millions spent in building waterways was to operate boats on them, snd so the government went into the internal waterway shipping business. The corporation was formerltand Congress directed the War Department to carry on this shipping enterprise "in the same manner, and to the same extent, as if such transportation facilities were privately owned and operated." Stock to the amount ot $12,000,000 was issued and sold to the treasury, which holds it.

An additional $3,000,000 has been appropriated to buy more stock, and this has been available since 1932. But, reports Gen. T. Q. Ashburn, the very able head of the Federal Barge "it is apparent that the corporation will never need It" snd lie recommends that it be turned back to the general funds of the.

treasury. Says Competition Unfair Proposals are now being made to extend the barge line service to the Savannah ancT Columbia rivers, which General Ashburn believes can be done-without costing the taxpayers another cent by financing the extension from the reserve funds of the corporation. All this is, of course, highly displeasing to the railroads, who are being helped by various other federal agencies at the same time this federal agency is clipping their potential revenues. "It has cost the taxpayer $46,000,000," the Association of Rail-way Executives complained a few years ago, stressing the fact that the barge line, free of heavy taxes and burdensome regulations, is a most unfair competitor of hard-pressed But on the other hand, In the current report of the IWC, a saving of $2,050,800 to the public is claimed for 1935 as "the difference between charges paid on traffic routed via the barge lines and what the charges would have been if the traffic had moved by rail." Such savings have been more than $26,000,000 since 1924, the barge people claim. The current report claims a "consolidated net profit of $539,552.47 for 1936, in a season plagued by floods and drouths, and is cited as "indisputable proof of the success of water transportation." It's Just One Item In this case, in most of the others where the government is functioning in the "business field," it is perfectly useless to try to determine whether the enterprise is "standing on its own legs'f or not as government ownership people ana private enterprise people use two different languages, let alone two sets of bookkeeping.

For instance, the railroads always want to charge up to the barge line all the costs of river improvement. General Ashburn asks: "to what would those costs be assessed If there be no water transportation?" Here, then, regardless of worth or right or wrong, exerting a definite effect on labor and transport on the rivers, on shipping costs and on railroad competitors' rates, is a huge transportation system run by the government And that is just one item.

nice as it sounds, getting established in Matanuska is no cream miff business. It isn't that life is so hard it's that getting your head financially above water is hard, no matter how much the government helps. Costs are so high in Alaska, that is the point. And income, at the start so small. And today's pioneers don't mold tallow candles, and weave cloth, and build their own plows, and make their own shoes.

That day has passed. Today's Pioneers buy all these things and in a year or two lust these little things can run up into thousands of dollars of debt. There is one thing about Mata nuska Colon that I had never real ized before, and that is that It's to become a coooeratlve community. From now on, every colonist must sell, and through the association. It seems to -me a good thing.

For otherwise the colonists would soon be cutting each other's throats dumping their products on the Anchorage market. And with living costs the way they are in Alaska, the minute you cut your neighbor's throat you cut your own. There can be, and is, success In Matanuska Colony. But the colonists of this generation, it seems to me, are never going to do much more than live. The government men themselves say that this generation won't reao the benefits from Mata nuska.

It will be the grandchildren of today's colonists, they say, who will garner the full benefits from this new land. THE VOTE JAMES.
