GOVERNMENT RAILROAD HAS
HEAVY TRAFFIC TO DATE
The United States railroad, says
a statement appearing- in a recent
issue of the Anchorage Times, has
hauled 13,000 revenue passengers
during the past six months a dis
tance of 767,000 passenger miles,
and 918,000 deadhead passenger
miles for strictly railroad business,
, and approximately a ton of freight
I for each paid passenger carried, or
'more than 13,000 tons.
The road is now operating 466
miles of track, of which 86 miles
j is on the Northern operating divi
' sion and narrow gauge, with but 72
miles of track to be laid before
steel joins. Steel is now at Hurricane
Gulch, and 90 per cent of the ma
terial for constructing the big steel
structure which will span the gulch
is now on the ground ready for
the engineers. It is confidently be
lieved that through trains will be
in operation on the line by the end
of the present year.
Colonel Mears is authority for
the statement that there is a great
deal more traffic over the railroad
at the present time than ever be
fore in the history of the project,
and the railroad, the chairman says,
is filling a useful service, serving
the transportation needs of this part
of the territory to a larger extent
than is generally realized.
“The extension of track to Hur
ricane Gulch leaves a gap of 72
miles between ends of steel. There
is practically continuous construc
tion work under way throughout
this central district. A large number
of station gangs are at work on
grading contracts in Broad Pass
and good progress is being made
by many of these outfits. A large
part of the grade along the Nenana
canyon has been completed and
Northern division construction crews
will gradually advance the track
southward from the present end of
steel at Mile 356, toward Riley
creek, Mile 347.
“Every effort will be made to
join the rails within the next twelve
months, although freight conditions
require that most of the track bo
laid from the south end.
“One of the biggest problems in
the immediate future is the building
of the Hurricane Gulch bridge, es
timated to cost about half a million
dollars. Hurricane Gulch is a for
midable obstacle to the extension
of the track northward, as it calls
for the construction of a steel
bridge 814 feet long, the central
unit of which is a two-hinged steel
arch—384 feet long—buttressei
‘against the rocky walls of the can
yon. The distance from top rail
on the bridge to the bottom of the
gulch is 300 feet.
“The work on the concrete foun
dations for this bridge is well ad
vanced and 90 per cent of 'the
structural steel has been received
at Anchorage and moved to the
bridge site. The American Bridge
Company have the contract for
furnishing and erecting this bridge
and their engineer and superintend
ent have just arrived from the
, East. It is expected their field force
| will be at work on the erection of
‘ steel within 30 days. It will take
about two and one-half months to
erect the bridge under favorable
circumstances.
“There are 3,172 men employed
on the Alaska railroad project at
this time. Of these 887 are on rail
road operations and maintenance of
way ; 322 are engaged in coal min
ing for navy and railroad, and
1,958 are used on new construction.
“I have been told that Secretary
Fall, our new secretary of the in
terior, already knows a great ' deal
about Alaska, which was one of
the matters coming to his attention
while in the senate, and in which he
has taken a particular interest.
While of course his first concern is
to complete the railroad to the In
terior, I believe he is already con
sidering some means to develop the
adjacent country from a broader
standpoint.”
Herb Heathom went to Fairbanks
today.

RELATIVES ARE BARRED
WASHINGTON’, D. C., May 17

; California court in the case of Yee
| Won, a Chinese, who sought to
bring his wife and two children
with him when he returned to the
United States from a visit to his
native land. The local immigration
authorities refused to admit the
wife and children, whereupon the
husband took the -case into the
courts.
