| RAILROAD IS
WAITING FOR
MORE FUNDS
SEATTLE, July 25 (by Associated
Press).—Pioneering government con
struction crews, laying the 471-mile
railroad from Seward, on the coast,
north across the continental divide
to connect with Alaska’s great interior
river highway systeme, made no at
tempt early this summer to close the
150-mile gap across Broad pass be
tween the ends of steel lying north
and south of the terminals of the road.
Recent failure of congress to ap
propriate $10,000,000 requested to com
plete the road made it impossible for
the Alaskan engineering commission,
which is directing the work, to plan
on laying any new line. Hope has not
yet been abandoned, however, that the
necessary money will be voted, as on
July 9 Representative Curry of Cali
fornia introduced a measure provid
ing for the appropriation of $17,000,
000 for the road.
Une oi Alaska s big war sacrifices
was the delay in the work on the gov
ernment railroad. During the war men
were hard to get, as they were needed
in France; ships were wanted to carry
troops overseas instead of railroad
supplies to Alaska, and railroad ma
terials were sent from the States to
the battlefields instead of to the North.
But now that the war is over Alaska
hopes to see the work on the road
pushed. The road would have been
completed in 1921 if congress had ap
propriated $10,000,000, Manager J. L.
j McPherson of the Alaska bureau of
the Seattle Chamber of Commerce re
cently told the senate appropriations
committee. McPherson, a railroad en
gineer himself, is in Washington as
sisting in the fight for the funds.
Construction crews started this sum
mer to connect the links between Ne
nana and Fairbanks, on the interior
end of the road, and to build snow
sheds and repair the trestles, bridges
! and roadbed of the line between Sew
| ard and Anchorage, on the southern
| end. Last year the road was opened
between Seward and Anchorage, and
trains were operated regularly until
sno^slides stopped travel. By next
winter, it is hoped, snowsheds will per
mit trains to operate at all times.
Coal already is being moved over
the coast end of the railroad from
the Matanuska fields to Seward and
Anchorage and near-by points, and it
is believed the Nenana-Fairbanks road
will be completed this fall, so coal can
be carried from the Nenana fields into
Fairbanks. The Matanuska coal is
moved over a thirty-eight-mile branch
running into the coal fields from the
Seward-Anchorage end of the line.
Main line track has been laid on
the road north from Seward 224 miles
to Talkeetna. On the northern end
the line has been built thirty-four miles
south from Nenana, and seven miles
south from Fairbanks. All of the road
is not being ,built by the government.
On the Seward end the commission,
when it started work, took over the
old Alaska Northern railway, running
north from Seward. On the Interior
end the Tanana Valley railway, which
ran out of Fairbanks, was purchased.
Government engineeres have put both
these lines in first-class shape.
Some of the work on the Interior
end is being held up until the road
from the coast is finished, so that
materials can be brought over it from
the seaports of Seward and Anchor
age. At present prohibiting costs
make it impossible to transport a large
amount of material to Fairbanks and
Nenana, as supplies must be sent
thousands of miles around by St.
Michaels and up the Yukon river or
to Skagway and over the mountains,
and then down the Yukon. One big
piece of work being delayed until the
line reaches the Interior is the con
struction of a bridge across the Tan
ana river at Nenana. Last winter a
track was laid on the ice of the frozen
river for work trains.

FARMERETTES STILL ON
JOB IN CALIFORNIA
LOS ANGELES, July 24 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The end of the war did
not end the agricultural work of
Southern California “farmerettes.”
Helping take care of the crop last
summer gave many women a liking
for at least a temporary return to the
soil, and already the Los Angeles
Chamber of Commerce and its Wom
en’s Land Auxiliary are busy placing
feminine workers in response to calls
of farmers and canneries.
The first group leaving here this
season consisted of thirty-one women
and girls bound for Hemet, in River
side county, where they will help in
the harvesting of fruits and vegetables "
and work in the canneries.
WOMEN MUST TELL
THEIR AGE IN COURT
LOS ANGELES, July 24 (by Associ
ated Press).—Judge F. H. Taft of the
superior court has ruled that hereafter
when women are asked their ages in
his court they must not say “I’m over
21,” but will be required to give the
exact years.
“The witnesses must answer the
question,” said Judge Taft. “I can
see no reason why anyone should ob
ject to telling their age.”
A recent issue of the Dawson News
says that F. W. Bradley of the Tread
well and Alaska Juneau properties
was there and had gone to look over
the Mayo silver-lead properties. He
was accompanied by T. G. MacDonald,
and the paper claims that L. Wernicke
will arrive later to also look over the
claims.
