OF R. R. SUPPLIES
j Lieut.-Col. H. P. Warren, who ar
. rived in Nenana on Friday with
, Chairman Mears, is chief of the sup
ply division of the Alaskan En
gineering commission, which was
^cheated by the chairman on Decem
ber 1. 1919, for the purpose of se
curing and transporting supplies of
material and labor for the comple
tion of the Government railroad.
Headquarters of the supply division
are established at Seward, and the
work of this division is divided into
| three parts—the requisition and dis
, tribution of material and supplies,
the employment and distribution of
.labor, and the transportation of
both supplies and personnel from
Seattle to Alaska.
Material and supplies, a recent
■ issue of the Alaska Railroad Record
[explains, are handled by the stores
department, and all requisitions are
made by the general storekeepers,
or, in the case of special equipment,
by the head of the supply division.
All requisitions are forwarded to
the headquarters of the supply divi
sion in Seward, where they are
checked against the stock cards
showing supplies on hand and then
are ordered from Seattle or filled
from stock. All questions arising
in the office of the general pur
chasing agent in Seattle relative
to changes or amplifications of
specifications, dates of delivery and
price of material are taken up direct
with the head of the supply division
in Seward. Similar questions aris
ing in Alaska are referred to the
same office.
Upon receipt of supplies in Alas
ka they are forwarded to the vari
; ous storehouses, from which they
'are distributed all along the line of
t construction. The storehouses are
required to keep a physical record
only of the supplies they have on

April Primary Election
A Vote for Herron means a

hand. All financial accounting of
ithe supply division is recorded in
the Seward office.
The employment bureau has been
! established at Seward under super
vision of the supply division. The
duties of the bureau consist largely
of replying to all applications for
employment, choosing from such ap
plications those best fitted to fill
positions which are vacant, issuing
transportation requests for employes,
meeting new employes arriving from
the States and providing them with
railroad transportation, sleeping ac
commodations and general instruc
tions, and filing all records relating
to employment. The office of the
bureau is on the ground floor of
the general office building in Sew
ard, and it is open at any time that
may be necessary to accommodate
employes coming from up the line
desiring to secure transportation re
quests on steamers.
it is interesting to know that suf
ficient applications are received from
persons in the States desirinp em
ployment to renew the entire force
of the commission each month, on
an averape. All applicants receive
a personal letter in reply explain
inp as nearly as possible the condi
tions in the line of work for which
they apply.
Larpely all the material, equip
ment and supplies for the Govern
ment railroad are shipped from Se
attle, and the ocean transportation
is handled by the Pacific and Alaska
Steamship companies under a special
contract. The Alaskan Enpineerinp
commission owns its own docks at
Seward and Anchorape, and at each
point maintains a receivinp and for
wardinp apency for handlinp its own
supplies and commercial shipments.
It is anticipated that about two
thirds of the commission freipht
will be unloaded at Anchorape and
about one-third at Seward, durinp
the cominp season.
