Fairbanks Paper
Interviews Edes
About Railway
(Fairbanks News-Miner).
“When, in your opinion, will the
first through train run between Sew
ard and Fairbanks?” was put to W.
C. Edes, chairman of the laskan En
gineering Commission,, when he was
seen this morning by a representa
tive of the News-Miner. And the re
ply of the railroad builder was that
it would be about the latter part of
1919.
“Of course,” continued Mr. Edes,
“I don’t want to state definitely that
that will be the time, for a good
many things are liable to arise in
the meantime, which would upset all
plans. I don’t think, however, that
we will have any difficulty in getting
our appropriations for the work, and
as everything is running smoothly
now, both here and at the coast, I
see no reason why the trains should
not be running by that time.”
Nineteen hundred nineteen is a
year later than had been figured by
many people of the interior, but even
one extra year will matter little as
long as it is coming.
At the present time a little coal is
being purchased by the Alaskan En
gineering commission from Dick Do
herty. He is working on what might
be called the edge of the coal fields,
Mr. Edes reports. The first coal
hauled over the railroad was taken
; from there to Anchorage recently.
In the near future, or before the
lend of the season, the railroad will
be into the heart of the coal fields.
Asked how the work would pro
I gress this year from Matanuska
| Junction, toward Fairbanks, Mr.
[ Edes replied that it was probable
that steel would be laid for a dis
tance of fifteen miles from the point
where the road cuts off to the coal
fields.
Continuing, toward Broad Pass,
there will be quite a big stretch of
the line that will be cleared and
graded, ready for the laying of the
rails next spring. Next spring the
work of 'laying the rails toward
Broad Pass will continue and be
pushed with all possible vigor.
Regarding his trip over the trail,
Mr. Edes spoke only in words of
praise for the driver, Grover C.
Frame, stating that he was one of
the best drivers he had ever seen
anywhere. He also spoke well of t;ie
trail, saying that the road commis
sion had done well to have as good
a trail as it was, considering that
it has never gotten any large amount
of money in any one year to do the
work. He also said that he agreed
with Col. Richardson in the belief
that the only way he could ever build
a first class voulevard would be to j
get a large appropriation in one I
year.
CHARLES A. STEVENSON
IN “SHORE ACRES." j
The great advantage that the mov- !
ing picture has over tlje legitimate
stage in presenting thrilling scenes
is illustrated in “Shore Acres,” the
five-part photo play comrftencing to
night at the Harmony theatre.
When James A. Herne staged his
original “Shore Acres” in the legiti
mate theatre, there was a scene that
audiences thought among the most
effective they had ever seen. It was,
because the photo play was not then
in existence. That was the light
house scene. Brother is pitted against
brother in a struggle for mastery of
the lighthouse. The lamp is unlight
ed and Martin Berry is determined
that it shall remain so, while Nat
Berry fights vigorously that he may
send the warning rays out into the
storm.
While the brothers struggle for
possession of the guh which gives
mastery of the situation, Martin’s
daughter Nell and her lover, Sam
Warner, are out on the storm tossed
waters in danger from reefs and
waves. Finally Nat gains the upper
hand in. the light tower and sends
out the flaming warning. It is seen
that the elopers have happily escaped
the perils of the storm and those of
the reefs.
James A. Herne staged that thril
ler with all the resources of the legit
imate theatre, yet men and women
who have seen both the play and the
photo play are loud in their asser
tions that the photo play is more ef
fective than the stage drama.
Augustus Thomas, who produced
the screen version of “Shore Acres,”
told why this was so.
“The resources of the stage are
great,” said he, “but after all they
are not the real thing. On the le
gitimate stage you have painted
water and painted reefs. You have
meme semblance of things. So the
stage version of “Shore Acres,” while
very effective, fell short of vivid il
lusion.’ ’
“Shore Acres” will be shown for
three nights, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday at the Harmony Theatre
and the usual admission, (twenty-five
cents'^-irril prcwii.——--—„
