RAILROAD PLANS OF
ENGINEERING COMMISSION
The latest information received here
about the government railway project j
plainly Indicates that Knik arm will j
be the center of construction actlvl- j
ties. It appears to be a settled thing
that work will be pushed with great
vigor on the line to tap the Matanuska
coal fields, sq that coal will become
available for the big remainder of the
railway construction. It is probable
that construction will begin at two
points—Ship creek and Old Knik.
While lacking official confirmation its
is published that Old Knik will be the
headquarters of the Alaska Engineer
ing Commission.
Active construction it is reported,
will begin June 1. When once started,
it is understood that work will be
prosecuted the year round until the
great project is completed. There is
plenty of rock work that can be done
in winter months.

Heney's right hand in the building ol
the White Pass and the Copper Rivei
roads, will be a contractor or one ol
the Important aids in the big under
taking. Other Copper River road men
and some former Alaska Central met
will be on the job.
Several substantial commercial ceti
ters will spring up as a result of the
building of this road. Ship creek, oi
Woodrow as its official designation
will be, slioud evolve into an important
place. At the coal Helds Lanevillc
will be a town with a fat payroll. But
at the junction, the town of Wilson
will eventually eclipse all others, due
to its advantageous location. Here
the coal branch will join the main
railway system. Townsite reserves
have been made at each of these
places.—Knik News.

with mustard and other small seeds.
These seeds, being very small, gath

MEARS IS SILENT
AS A SPHINX
The Seward Gateway attempted to
Interview Lieutenant Mears as the
work planned by the railroad commis
sion for this year, but he flatly re
fused to Rive out any Information
That paper comments on this situa
tion ns follows: “Even when h«
came to the Gateway office he declined
to drop the least word or hint as t<
what Is about to be done and it waf
as evident as the daylight that he hai
bound himself to avoid being quotec
In any respect. It was stated whlli
the Mariposa was In port that th<
commission does not Intend to do an:
construction work this year but som<
of the members of the staff of the com
mission who went west last night
when asked aboyt this, said their un
derstandlng was that forty miles o
railroad will be constructed this sum
mer. 8ome fifty people made up th<
party accompanying the commisstot
on the Mariposa to Ship creek. The:
Included clerical men, engineers anc
almost all sorts of people. It wai
also rumored that the commlaalon
would prevent people from settling
around Ship creek but from this time
forward rumors are sure to come thick
and fast, especially as the members of
the commission themselves refuse to
give out the real 'straight’ of It.”
