(basing headquarters of the Alaska
engineering ^oinmission. Purchasing j
Agent K. Dole has for some weeks 1
been engaged on the task of making
up requisitions and specifications cov
ering everything from steel rails to
roast beef and bay. Contracts will
lie awarded for about 15,000 tons of
steel, which amount will cover that
portion of the line to be constructed
from the end of the Alaska Northern
to a connection with the recently con
structed line out of Anchorage and
from the end of the recently construc
ted line through to the Chickaloon
mines. It Is expected that contracts |
will be awarded for the vast quanti-i
ties of lumber and bridge material,'
supplies of all kinds for men and ani
mals, additional machinery and equip
ment for shops, and in fact various
supplies necessary for railroad con
struction.
Two tugs were recently purchased,!
and after going into drydock at the
Puget Sound navy yard for overhaul,
they will be sent to Anchorage to
take part In the important work of
freight lightering and towing from
Anchorage to various points on the
railroad reached by water. While -
Anchorage will again be the chief
i
scene of railroad construction activ
ity, the commission plans to send in
much material for reconstructing the
Alaska Northern, and this work will
he pushed from Seward. It lias been
stated that the commission hopes to
have tlie upper end of the Alaska '
Northern repaired this coming sum
mer so that the entire line can he,
made serviceable for traffic by gaso
line car. An additional gasoline car
will be ordered to handle the large
number of workmen who will have to
move to tlie front.
Moth Seward and Anchorage will
next month he teeming with life and ;
activity owing to the fact that the
commission has announced that they
will emplay a large number of labor
ers to push the construction work |
during tlie year. Various steamships >
operating to those two points are al
ready hooking full passenger lists, and !
the outlook is for a much heavier pas
