Mears Returns

the Alaskan Engineering Commission,

two weeks’ trip into the Talkeetna
and Broad Pass country. Lieut. Mears
left Anchorage ia company with At
torney J. C. Cotton, personal repre
sentative of Secretary Lane, and made
a thorough inspection of th^ govei n
railroad work in this vicinity.
Lieut. Mears reports a very pleas
ant and profitable trip, and says that
Attorney Cotton joined the Commis
! sioner Riggs party, sent out from
Nenana, at Nenana river, and accom
panied them to Nenana and Fair
banks. H. F. Dose, resident engineer
of the Talkeetna division, was with
the party, who spent considerable time
in going over the proposed railroad
work for next year. Everything points
to success and tjie year 1917 will see
great wark accomplished by the Alas
kan Engineering Commission, the
government railroad builders in the
vicinity of Talkeetna and Broad Pass,
as well as Anchorage.
Lieut. Mears took passage on the B.

to get the farmer’s committee, desig
nated to select the name appropriate

j anuska branch, formerly known as
Farmington, but the important matter
is no doubt settled and the result will
appear in the columns of this paper as
soon as authentic reports are availa
ble.
