THINGS WILL BOOM IX THK
SPRING.
Should the national congress soon 1
i io convene appropriate the sum of
nine million dollars—the amount
that will l>e asked for by Secretary
of the Interior Lane—fof continua
tion of construction work on the
Alaska government railway project,
there will be a boom iu Anchorage.
Why? you may inquire.
Given such an amount, the Alas-1
kan Engineering Commission will
have on its payrolls between four:
thousand and five thousand men.
Perhaps three-fourths of the railway
employes will receive their pay
checks at Anchorage—-that is to say.
this point will be tlie headquarters,
or administration office, for the big
force that will be employed between
Aachorage and the Matanuska coal
tields, for It is well unedrstood that
the coal line will be completed and
placed in operacton before any con
siderable construction will be under-,
taken on the main interior line.
We believe this to be a fair state
ment of the case, in the light of in
formation now available. If between
3,000 and 4,000 men are employed
in active railway construction in
this division of railway work, it
requires no vivid imagination ui gift
of prophesy to predict that Anchor
age will be the mecca for thousands
of people in the states or in other j
parts of Alaska.
One enthusiastic Anchorage man
recently wagered several hats that
this town would have a population
sf twenty thousand by October,
1916. Frankly speaking, we do not
expect that our permanent popula
tion will be augmented to this ex
tent in one short year. We should
not be at all surprised, however, if'
a census taken a year hence would
reveal the presence of five thousand
permanent inhabitants. And we do
not believe we will be far off the
mark when we say that ten thousand
people will come to Anchorage next
year. Many of these argonauts will,
go to the Matanuska country, while,
of course, some will return 'from
whence they came. Many wifi re
main in Anchorage.
Much depends oil the nine million.
And. if, soon after the new year, you
see a telegram published in these
columns announcing that this
amount has been appropriated for
railway work, begin tc frame up for
good times.
Since arriving in Fairbanks, thei
native witnesses v. ho are testifying,
in the Old Tobie ease have, paid
daily visits to Garden Island to see
the train depart each morning. The
train is something new to many of
them. One native said yesterday1
that he had seen motion pictures of
trains at Ruby, but he never saw
one in actual operation before. He
talked of the coming of the govern
ment railroad, and said he under
stood that when tHe new' line was
completed he" will see trains as large
as in the pictures.

THEY ALL WITH
ONE ACCORD, BEGAN
TO MAKE EXCUSE
One of the big events of the open
ing, last Saturday night, of the Jack
Robarts emporium of higli-class
amusements was the bowling game1
between local members of the Black
Cat Society, generally known this far
north as the Anchorage Supply Com
pany and the Anchorage Lumber
Company. The Anchorage Supply
Company was represented by two of
their charter members in the form
of T. D. Corlew and one Mylroie
(Mylroie, they say, is land-skipper
of the "windjammer1' Kate Baven
portl. The Anchorage Lumber;
Company picked out the two leading ,
spirits of that Institution, labeled j
Roger Suinmy and ^W. T. Normile. .
i'ndertaker Wood was official kick
settler of said Black Cat brigade and
also keeper of records. Out of the
iliree games played, the Anchorage
Lumber Company won two. The
Su m my-Norm ile combination im
proved with age and finished up in
;hP 179 neighborhood. Owing to the
fact that it was the midnight hour, (
"orlew and Myroie had to call for j
lelp in the last game, and that sort j
jf broke up their schedule and en-,
ihled them to lay the blame for the j
oss of the series on their substi-j
utes, Maxwell and "Max." But, j
udging from all reports, said Max- |
veil and ‘'Max” are apt to show j
dgns of speed after a try-out or two
ind arrive on the scene some night
oaded for bear and take »omP of
he semi-professionals to the clean
ers la a most surprising manner,
tnd Corlew boosters say that all
heir favorite needs is a cbance to
day gome evening before 9 o'clock;
hat the reason he didn't make the
500 mark’Saturday evening was be
eause he was much too busy figuring
mt some remedial excuse to give bis
vlfe at the breaifast table Sndav
norning regarding the lateness of
ils home-coming.
