Alaska. 1
Mr. Edes Informed the secretary __
that 1,500 men were Icebound at An
chorage. the government railway
town, as the result of the early clos- ♦
ing of Cook Inlet. J
The railroad commissioner also re- ♦
ported that his commission had built ♦
35 miles of road during the past year. ♦
He said he helieved that the road $
could be built without any difficult X
engineering feats, and he estimated X
that it would require five years in *
which to build the road to the Tanana ♦
river. J
Mr. Edes stated that the climate I
was healthful and that the health of- T
ficers had eliminated the mosquito J
annoyance as they went along by at- *
tacking the breeding ponds and the f
twamps. T
Mr. Edes advised that most of the f
work on the railroad be done under f
;ontract. f

results. Radio apparatus was ordered
for five light house tenders. Line
throwing guns have been installed at
several Alaska stations, to facilitate
landing through the surf.
During the fiscal year 47 tenders
and 66 light vessels were in commis
sion. Two new tenders were com
pleted and immediately placed on
duty; the Laurel, for service in Ches
apeake Bay and the North Carolina
Sounds, and the Fern, for service in Q
southeastern Alaska. Two new light
vessels were also completed and 9
placed on station; No. 9 , at Poo Reef, ig
southerly entrance to Straits of Mac- tjjS
kinac, Lake Huron. Mich., and No.
98, at the entrance to Buffalo Harbor,
Lake Erie, New York. The following |!
new vessels are now under construe- gj
tion. The first class tender Cedar, :§
for Alaska; the medium draft tender
Rose for Washington and Oregon. §j
nnd light vessels Nos. 101 and 102,
for the Atlantic coast. A contract has :j|
also recently been awarded for the :;:j
