. ROAD WORK IN FRANCE
Frank Townsend is in receipt of
the following letter from our former
townsman, Alex Anderson, a member
of Company D, 31st R. T. C., American
expeditionary force, written in France
under date of December 28:
"I received your iletter the other
day, and was very glad to hear from
Cordova. I received a letter from
Oscar Larson a short time ago, so am
getting lots of news. I don’t suppose
it will be long before I am back on the
C. R. & N. W., perhaps early next
spring.
“The American railroad men have
done wonderful work over here the
last six months all over France. It
is hard to work under the French
rules, but we must to avoid accidents.
We are on the road twenty-four and
thirty hours on one trip. The French
crews go only forty and fifty miles,
while we have to go a hundred and
twenty-five miles, and more if neces
sary, but the business is slack now.
“I am going to visit Paris the 10th
of January on a seven days' furlough.
“All of the Alaska boys are split
up all over France, so I can not make
the trip with any of them, but I may
meet them somewhere. You know our
regiment was distributed all over,
some here and some there.
“Will close with my regards to you.
Remember me to all the boys.”
