ANCIENT CHURCH IS
SAVED FROM FLAMES
LONDON, June 9.—The ancient
church of St. Olave's, where Pepys,
the diarist, is buried, recently had a
narrow escape from a fire that de
stroyed a large cork factory nearby.
Pieces of burning cork rained on the
roof of the church, which dates from
1450, and was one of the few churches
to escape the great fire of London.
When firemen reached the roof, the
timber covering the water cistern was
ablaze, but no further damage was
done. The buildings in the district
are old and congested.

ANCHORAGE, June T>.—Anchorage
Hie coal terminal, presents a scene o
activity, due to the construction of thi
government railway system now get
ting fairly under way here. A sligh
delay has been Incurred because o
the shortage of certain kinds of foot
supplies in the government conimis
sary, but an early steamer will relieve
this situation and things will move
along more vigorously and tpore
contracts will be awarded.
In town, the chief activity Is along
the wnter front. Here plle-drlvet
crews are working day and night
shifts in erecting dockage facilities
at the rqouth of Ship Creek. A mon
ster barge for lighterage purposes has
just been completed and launched,
ready for business. A big dredger
from the Panama Canal Zone, to
dredge out the mouth of Ship Creek
for harbor purposes, is expected soon
Hails have been laid on a permaennt
grade leading from the dock site to
the government storehouses and yard
age areas.
The plateau north of the present
business section of the town, which
will bo used for office buildings and
residences for permanent employes,
is now being cleared by a gang of
12 men under the direction of A. C.
Anderson, preparatory to the begin
ning of construction work. The site
is a most beautful and healthful one
for the purpose in view, and will be
laid out with a design which compre
hends both practicability and pictur
esqueness. At the point of the hill,
"■ 1 " -——-— ..
, overlooking the arm, the big office
f building will be erected, a magnificent
> structure, according to the plans.
Beautiful Mt. McKinley, the highest
mountain on the American continent.
1 may be seen in the distance. Immedi
ately In the rear to the east of the
office building will be park grounds,
in the form of a V, conforming to the
contour of the plateau. Twenty foot
avenues leading out from this park
will reach the residences of the em
ployes. A baseball ground and tennis
court will be luid out to ufTord health
ful recreation for the employes. Mr.
Parr is the engineer in charge.
Lumber for building purposes ar
rived here early this week from San
Francisco, conveyed by the steam
schooner San Ramona.
Notwithstanding the fact that there
is considerable activity at Anchorage,
there is more than an adequate num
ber of laboring men to do all that will
done In railroad work this season.
Hence this newspaper takes occasion
to warn those seeking work that they
had best seek it elsewhere.
Station Contracts Let
The first contract let by the com
mission, soon after Commissioner
Mears reached Anchorage, was to
David and Robertson and called for
the clearing of right of way from sta
tion 3548 to 3689 inclusive, or an
aggregate distance of 14,100 feet. To
make this plain to the uninitiated, it
should be stated that in railroad work
a station is 100 feet.
Some 500 men are employed in sta
tion work, consisting of clearing right
of way pnd grading, between Anchor
age and the junction and on towards
the Matanuska coal fields. The last
station gang is located not to exceed
20 miles, by the railway course, from
the mouth of Ship Creek.
Contracts awarded to date to con
tractors appear below. To make the
information plain, so that one may
figure out just where the various
contractors are employed, it may be
said that where three or less figures
are used in designating a specific sta
tion, that station is on the line from
Anchorage to the junction. Where
four ligures are employed, the station
is on what is termed the main road.
Except in the David and Robertson
contract, the contracts are let to
groups of men who are equal partici
pants and partners. The names of

ALASKA NORTHERN CASE ’
BEFORE DSTRICT COURT
District Attorney Spence, repre
senting the government, will Inter
vene In the suit brought by Otto Man
son against the Alaska Central anil
Alarka Northern railroad.
Secretary Dane, of the Interior De
partment, has agreed to pay the own
ers of the road, or at least those claim
Ing to own the road, the sum of $1,
150.000 for the system. Hanson,
owing some of the original bonds,
insists that the transfer to the Alaska
Northern of the holdings of the
| Alaska Central be vacated and If he
wins his suit the agreement between
Rarabee and his crowd, owning the
preferred claims against the Seward
railroad, will be of no avail and the
government would be forced to make
a new deal nfter the ownership Is
cleared up.
Spence will represent the govern
ment and hopes to have the court
deny the application of Hanson to
rp-open the old Alaska Central re
ceivership.
