RAILROAD DOPE
FROM EVERY
ANGLE
Chairman Edes, of the Alaska En
gineorlng Commission, Is now to the
westward and while no definite state
ments are made as to the govern
ment’s railroad plans, some little in
formation Is allowed to percolate
through the red tape system of ye
olden times for the enlightenment of
the residents of Alaska who are vitally
interested in the construction of Uncle
Sam's road. Here is what the Seward
Gateway was able to glean from
Chairman Edes:
“In answer to a question ns to how
much work will be done on the Alaska
Northern railroad this summer he
said he 'presumed we shall do quite a
lot of it.’ Then thonghtfully he ex
pressed the desire that men seeking
employment should he cautioned
agninst coming as, in the first place,
the road will not he turned over to
the government for few weeks and. In
the next place, the appropriation is
small at present that the work will
be necessarily limited this year. In
deed, as to how extensive the work
will be on this rond this year Mr. Edes
would give no positive opinion. He
did say, however, that the Alaska
Northern would not be connected up
with the new portion of the railroad
until next year, r-ocomotives and
other equipment will be shipped from
the Panama Canal this year to Seward
hut he has found that very extensive
repairs will have to be made on the
wharf here before the heavy equip
ment can he unloaded. These loco
motives and other equipment will
come this fall. He states that he
must look into the situation more
thoroughly before saying anything of
a really positive nature. That it will
be found necessary to erect some
buildings for the accommodation of
the employes he believes hut even on
this matter he says nothing definite.
The Valdez Prospector credits Mr,
Edes with the following interview:
“The suit which clouds the title of
the Alaska Northern railroad came as
a surprise to the members of the
commission, but we do not antici
pate it will affect any change in the
plans. It is true that the government
will demand a clear title but the own
ers will undoubtedly come to some
agreement so that the work can be
pushed rapidly. The work this sea
son will be confined to pushing con
struction from Anchorage to the
Matanuska coal fields and the port
of Anchorage will be used for the
shipment of coal for as many months
of the year as it is possible to reach
that point. Seward will be used the
balunce of the year, but as the haul
is much less to Anchorage the main
shipping terminal will be from that
port."
When nsked if the commission
would rebuild the Seward railroad
Mr. Edes said: “We will undoubtedly
spend some money on the Alaska
Northern in order to make the road
safe and for use of the commission
to take supplies to Kern Creek, but
our main work will be from Anchor
age to Matanuska."
When asked for a copy of the re
port made by the commission to
President Wilson and Secretary Lane
and for the reasons for the selection
of Seward, Mr. Edes replied: “You will
have to secure the report from Secre
tary Lane. The commission made fts
report to the head of the Department
of the Interior but we did not recom
mend the selection of any terminal,
simply giving the advantage and dis
advantages of the different routes.”
A telegram from Washington says
the announcement by Secretary Frank
lin K. l^ane that the litigation over the
Seward townsite and the fight among
the bondholders and the holders of
preferred claims against the Alaska
Northern would not affect the building
of the railroad, caused much surprise,
as it was felt certain that the Depart
ment of the Interior would not con
tinue work on the Alaska Northern
road until the title had been cleared
up.
Alaskans here are certain that but
little work will be done on the
Alaska Northern this summer and that
the secretary has instructed the engi
neering commission to confine its
work to the building of a road from
Anchorage to the Matanuska.

CONTRACT IS LET FOR
2,500,000 FEET LUNIBEI
John Knliiml. an old-time Alaskan
who is well known In Cordova was ii
town yesterday on a hurried trip t<
the states. John has been to th<
westward, where he and Peter John
son, formerly of Fairbanks, received t
contract from the Alaska Engineering
Commission of a million and a hall
feet of lumber. The lumber will b«
cut and sawed at Portage Bay.
It was learned that In addition to
the lumber being cut at Portage Bay
a schooner load will be shipped to
Seward from the outside this month
or In July. When the summer's cut
ting is finished at Portage Bay the
mill will bo transferred to Talkeetna
for winter work. Mr. Enlund was
unable to say what the government
will do with so much lumber and it
can only be surmised that Seward is
soon to have the terminal buildings
going up.
AGRICULTURAL STATION
BE LOCATED MATANUSKA
M. D. Snodgrass, agent for the agri
cultural department and manager of
the experiment station at Kodiak, has
gone to Matanuska to locate the ex
periment station which, as was stated
by Professor Georgeson, Is about to be
established in that quarter. Mr.
Snodgrass will spend three weeks on
the ground and will secure horses
from the engineering commission to
reach the Matanuska and Susitna val
leys. He Intends to examine the con
ditions thoroughly and later give his
report. He declares that, without
doubt, Kodiak and the neighborhood
Is a good stock country. Lots of
cattle and sheep run out all winter
on the smaller islands and come out
well in spring. He has found a growing
interest manifested in the possibilities
of the district and is constantly re
ceiving enquiries from outside. Two
new settlers came to Uyak bay this
year and more will follow the railroad
activities. One great drawback to the
raising of sheep and cattle in the
region, Mr. Snodgrass says, is the
depredation by brown bears. In one
night alone they killed two-thirds of
all the sheep at the station and they
keep killing still.
