CHAIRMAN MEARS HOPEFUL •
OF CLOSING GAP THIS YEAR!
The work of laying steel north!
from Anchorage is progressing rap-1
idly, according to Louis Anderson,}
who returned to Nenana yesterday I
from the Puget Sound country,
where he spent the greater part of
the winter. Mr. Anderson came !
North on the Alameda and when he 1
reached Hurricane Guldh, the steel:
gang was within a very short dis
tance of the big revine and due to
finish track laying on the south
side within a day or two, after J
which track-laying operations were j
to be started on the north side of i
the gulch, working toward Nenana.
The train on which Mr. Anderson
left Anchorage, stopped at Mile 275,
but he and a number of others
boarded a gravel train at that point
and rode to the end of steel, close
to Hurricane Gulch.
Mr. Anderson had a long talk
with Colonel Mears, at Anchorage,
and was assured that work was
progressing more rapidly than had
been anticipated and that, with no
unforeseen delays, the gap between
ends of steel would be closed per
haps before the first of the year,
with the exception of the big via
duct at Riley creek.
No difficulty is being encountered
in securing labor for the work out
lined. Every boat brings a large
number of workers and the gangs
are being filled as rapidly as there
is need for them. The Alameda
had over 150 men for the commis
sion and most of them were sent
out along the line to the north of
Anchorage immediately. These men
were sent North from Seattle to
work on the road, but there were
others on board the boat looking
for work. In fact, Mr. Anderson
says, travel to Alaska is so heavy
that he was compelled to make hi*
reservation considerably in advance
of the sailing of his boat.
Conditions in Seattle are very
bad. Mr. Anderson says—the worst
he has ever seen them there. The.e
are many idle men as the result of
. the suspension of shipbuilding act
ivities and other industries, and
only one building is in process of
erection in the downtown district.
While at Juneau, Mr. Anderson
was informed that both Wickersham
aitd Hazelet had been eliminated
from the__gubernatorial race, and
it was generally believed there that
the administration intends to name
an Outsider for the position, in
sP*te of the efforts of the territorial
legislature to secure the appointment
of an Alaskan—any Alaskan. Ar
effort was made to induce J. R.
Heckman, of Ketchikan, to consider
the appointment but he refused ab
solutely. Judge Thos. R. Lyons also
was talked of as an acceptable ap
pointee but the lawmakers have ai
most abandoned hope of securing
the appointment of a Northerner,
because of the bitter factional fight
between Wickersham and Hazelet.
Mr. Anderson mushed over the
: trail between steel and rej>orts
much bare ground along the way.
