Railroad Rumblings
L. W. Turner has a large crew of
men working in his new sawmill at
Mile 27 on the government railroad.
He is turning out a very good grade
of lumber from the cottonwood logs
in his vicinity.
The road continues to settle along
various marshy spots. Much of it has
already been resurfaced twice, and
several more resurfacings will be re
quired before it packs to a solid road
bed.
Fifty new men have been sent in to
extra gang 3. They are quickly be
coming accustomed to their new
work and the boss is well pleased with
them.
Mt. Knik, whose top is covered with
snow, has an elevation of 6,000 feet.
Seventy-five people went up on the
excursion to Moose creek today to see
the first train load of coal hauled by
the government railroad.
The second trass of the Thra Howe
Trass Bridge acros the Knik river is
j just being completed. Three more of
these trusses, which are 121 feet long,
will be constructed.
Seven ! gangs are at work at mile
23 resloping the cut to 1% to 1.
Frank Johnson, who makes shingles
by water power at Peters creek, had
a stioke of hard luck day before yes
terday when part of his dam washed
out. He will be put to quite a lot of
work in repairing it.
It is expected that the two “coy
otes” near Mile 10Va will be shot
Tuesday. This will be a very inter
esting sight, as tons of rock will be
blown into the river from the bank
overhead.
A number of piles washed out sev
eral days ago near the bridge over
the Eklutna rmer. They had just
been driven along the bank above the
bridge to form the basis for a wall
to keep the river from cutting into
the bank any farther.
James Wilkinson’s gang of 50 new
men have just commenced operations
on the other side of the Knik river.
Bridges 13, 14, 15, and 16 are being
completed across the sloughs between
the Matanuska and Knik rivers.
Matanuska Landing, down on the
river, is rapidly giving way to Mata
nuska Junction, farther up, due to the
-hipping of supplies by railroad rath
er than by water.
A big party of “station men” left
Matanuska Junction Saturday to do
some work on up the line. It is esti
mater that there are 700 men engaged
in this form of work between Mata
nuska Junction and the end of the
line.
Mr. McGill, who put in the Mata
nuska and Knik bridges, has nearly
finished a large amount of pile driv
ing for a wing-wall at Mile 11 on the
, Matanuska branch. He has a crew of
: about ten- men working for him who
: are doing excellent work. As soon as
this wing-wall is completed, he will
put in another directly back of it. The
j purpose of these walls is to turn the
current of the river away from the
banks to prevent it from washing out
the tracks. They are built several
hundred feet out in the river, making
an angle with it.
A large'steam shovel is at work at
Mile 10 % removing a lot of rock to
be used for riprapping the river walls.

Church Services.
There were no Presbyterian church
services here here yesterday, the pas
tor. I)r. James L. McBride, giving his
pulpit over to the use of Bishop Rowe
of the Episcopal church and to the
temperance speaker, Mrs. Ella Boole.
Three services were conducted by
Bishop Rowe yesterday, all of which
were well attended. The establishing
of a permanent church of this denom
ination here is now an assured fact
and there are many enthusiastic
workers.
At the evening hour Mrs. Boole ad
dressed a large and attentive audience
on the subject of temperance, hand
ling the subject in an entirely new i
anti original manner, presenting many !
new ideas to the audience which j i
crowded the church to the doors.
Many regrets are heard that Mrs. j;
Boole is compelled to leave tonight | l
ami cannot give another address as j j;
had been arranged.

■THE LURE” AT EMPRESS.
At the Empress last night, more
than ordinary interest attended the
showing of a Schubert feature enti
tled ‘The Lure.”
The film is in five reels and the
principals portray some dramatic sit
uations which stamp it as one of the
most interesting photoplays presented ’
in Anchorage. The story deals with
man’s duplicity and the punishment <
which usually follows. It shows also i
how, in the midst of intrigue, the de- i
cent instincts of human nature will I
assert themselves. “The Lure,” to- i

Loyalty to the Flag Is the Price
Of American Citizenship
By E. E. R1TTENHOUSE, President Life Extension Institute
WHAT sort of an American conscience is it that demands the priv
ileges of citizenship and the protection of the flag and refuses to
defend either or to approve preparations for others to defend
them?
SUCH PEOPLE DEMAND PEACE AND DENY THE GOVERNMENT THE
POWER AND MEANS OF MAINTAINING IT.
They are passionately devoted to humanity, but not to that portion
of humanity for which our nation is directly responsible. They are so
fearful of militarism that they prefer to trust militaristic nations already
armed and ready to attack us" rather than to trust their own countrymen
with arms for our defense.
Americans naturally love peace and abhor war, but for the patriotic
American it must he the peace of righteousness.
The price of the honors and opportunities of American citizenship is
obedience to the law and lovaltv to the flag in peace and war. THOSE
WHOSE CONSCIENCES 'WILL NOT PERMIT THEM TO PAY
THE PRICE SHOULD NOT ACCEPT THE REWARD.
