UN * IS UAL SLIDE
ON ALASKA UK.
A mammoth snow slide on the
Alaska Railroad at Milo 71 tied
iil> traffic for a period of ten days
recently. The slide was very un
usual, says the Anchorage Alas
kan, in that the first avalancli u
come down entered the shed ai
one end, lifting it and a part ol
he track up bodily. Anothei
slide, coming down soon after
wards, buried the first slide am
a part of the shed under thou
sands of tons of snow. Traveler?

stated that the slide appeared j
to be at least 400 feet in length ■
and about n9 feet in height in i
the center, and that it was a sol
id mass of trees, logs, boulders,
ce and snow.'
The work oi' chatring it was
rendered difficult by the gas and
fumes escaping from the power
ini rotaries and engine, making
it impossible to work in the shed
for any length of time. Kesusci
titing equipment and gas masks
were taken to the scene from
Anchorage. During the entire
time that the slide was' being
cleared watchmen were station
ed at either en liste ing and
watching for indications of other
slides.
SETTLERS WANT CON
SOLt DATED SCHOOL
According to unofficial reports
from that district, the Matanus
t;a Valley Farmers Association
has begun agitating the question
of having a consolidated, school
( built at Mat uiuska, the junction
i point for theCiuckaloon branch
Tnis would take in Wasiila and
Eairviewon the main line and
Moose Creek and Palmer on the
branch line. Transportation
would be by means of speeders.
The Association expects to take
up the matter with Henderson,
Commissioner of Education, and
Col. Landis, Manager of the Alas
ka Railroad, in the near future.
The plan is looked upon with
favor by those living at some dis
' tance from the schools, whose
1 children now aie sent by speed
ier, board away from home or
walk some distance to school. Na
turally it will meet with some
opposition because of the •old
winter weather. If successful it
would be a big drawing card for
; the valley.

activity this coming summer.
A number of outfits are already

twenty miles more before the
transportation question is solved.
