Alaska Steamship Company in chang

a coal burner to an oil burner, and
in renovation work that will place the

RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION
AT BOTH ENOS OP PINE
Falcon Joslin In writing to Fair
banks from Washington, I). C., st^ys
that he has been assured by one of
the members of the Alaska Engineer
ing commission that every efTort will
be made by the commission to get the
government to start construction of
the railroad from both ends at the
same time.
Mr. Joslin’s letter was decidedly
optimistic about the railroad , and
it was evident that he believes that
work will start from the Fairbanks
lend of Uie line next year.
Financial conditions of the coun
try improving. Mr. Joslin stated,
since the new federal reserve banks
have been opened. This, however,
Is about the same assurance that
has been received from the Outside
in telegraphic reports of late.

PATH TO PRESBYTERIAN
CHURCH IN GOOD CONDITION
Sand has been put on the track
and the power of locomotion up the
hill could not be better, hence there
is no excuse for anyone failing to at
tend the Christmas exercises at the
Presbyterian church tonlgt. The
program, which is a very interesting
one, will begin at 7:30 o’clock.

HAWAIIAN TENDER
TRANSFERRED TO ALASKA
The lighthouse tender Kukui is to
be transferred to Alaskan waters,
says a Hawaiian paper. The Col
umbine, a much smaller and slower
vessel than the Kukui, is ordered to
Hawaiia. This transfer does not meet
with local favor, owing to the fact
that the Kukui was specially built for
Hawaiian service, being given a Ha
Maiian name with the idea that Hon
olulu was to be her home port. Capt
F. T. Warriner, of the Kukui, is un
dor orders to sail direct for Ketch!
kan, Alaska. Not only to the com
mercial but also to the military and
naval plans of Oahu is the transfer
of the Kukui a serious loss, a fact
not generally known being that the
Kukui is equipped for the laying and
removing of submarine mines.
