.} WORK TO START
Ready to go to work to build the i
railroad from Fairbanks to the coast
engineers, office men, and other em
ployes of the Alaskan Engineering
commission, have arrived at Nenana
and Fairbanks G. Fenton Cramer,
disbursing agent of the commission in
the interior, who has been with
Thomas Riggs, Jr., since the latter
wagprst appointed to the engineer
ing comnfission, and who will be in
charge of the office ht Fairbanks for
the present, at least, states that
^work will commence at Nenana now.
Mr. Cramer stated further that the
commission is determined to rush
the work through as quickly as pos
sible, and Mr. Riggs figures that ful
ly sixty per cent of the constructiop,
with the exception of laying the,rtffis
from Fairbanks to the Nenana coal
fields, will be concluded this fall.
This does not include the work on
tht^great bridge to be built across
the Tanana river at Nenana, as it
may be necessary to operate a ferry
there for a time, nor the laying of
ties.
The construction will be carried
on by station contracts similar to
those at the coast end of the rail
road.
One of the great problems that
the engineering commission is con
fronted with at the present time, is
the handling of freight. On the first
■floats of the year to make the trip
from Seattle, to Nome it was possible
only to ship f>00 tons of supplies.
Another 100 tons is being shipped
around via Skagway. which is more
expensive. Every boat from Seattle
to St. Michael is loaded with freight
and bookings have bee.n made for
months ahead.
The commission wishes to ship
2,900 tons of rails north this slim
mer. It will be difficult to get boats
to handle them on the ocean, but the
American-Yukon Navigation compa
ny expects to handle them on the
river. It will kee.p the latter con
cern busy, but tney are satisfied that
they can take care of the work. This
will mean that about all of their
boats will be kept busy hauling rails
and the usual mercantile freight, to
say nothing of the goods the mer
chants will want.
The work in the interior will be.
divided up into three residencies;
that is into three sections, each in
charge of a resident engineer; all of
whom will be under F. H. Bailey,
the division engineer, and under W.
A. Defoe, the superintendent. F. S.
Ryus, who has been in Fairbanks
before, and who came to the Interior
with the commission two years ago,
will be in charge of the Fairbanks
residency, working toward Nenana.
H. W. Sterling will be the instru
ment man in his party.
F. D. Hayden, who made the sur
vey from Chena to Nenana, on the
south side of the Tanana river, will
be. in charge of the Nenana residen
cy, working toward the coal fields.
G. B. Richardson, who was Bailey’s
transit man last year, will he in
charge of the Nenana residency,
working toward Fairbanks.
They who go to The Sydney Gaur
ejice Co. expect, and receive, the
most that has ever been obtained in
developing and printing. (i-2titf

AT DREAM THEATRE TONIGHT
It isn't absolutely necessary to he

James Keane, for years the idol of
New York theatre goers and among
the foremost actors of the world, in
which he featured the famous Fred
erick Warde. Over 100 actors and
supers were engaged in the, manu
facture of this 0,000-foot film, which
will be the attraction tonight at the
