A. E. C. PREPARES
BEGIN WORK ON
FAIRBANKS LINE
For some time past teams have
been busy hauling supplies for
! stocking the supply depots estab
] lished by the Alaskan Engineering
commission along the Nenana-Fair
banks right of way.
The principal stores established
I so far are camp 432, formerly
known as Goldstream cache; camp
! 440, formerly known as Standard
i creek, and camp 449, formerly
i known as Lundborg’s. This latter
camp is situated about three miles
; ahead of steel from the Happy end
of the line.
The hauling is being done by
twelve four-horse teams. All the
available privately owned teams
are being used, as well as a few
of the A. E. C. teams in this serv
ice, and the freighting of supplies
will be rushed to completion be
fore the breakup occurs.
Buildings are also being erected
at the camps mentioned for the
housing of the engineering parties
who will look after the work of
building the railroad toward Fair
banks from this end and toward
Nenana from the Haopv end
Nearly all of the building ma
terial needed for the purpose has
already been freighted over and
contracts have been let for the
erection of the buildings, some of
which are now nearly finished.
One of the engineering parties
has already taken up its quarters
at camp 440. This party is under
Ko.-ident Engineer Howard G. Has
lem. They are now engaged in a
little revision work, on the com
pletion of which they will lay out
the work to be done by the grad
ing contractors and others just as
soon as the weather allows of such
work being undertaken.
Seven carloads of railroad grad
ing equipment und camping sup
plies, -h as wagons, scrapers,
dump car.., light rails, wheelbarows,
switches, tools, tents, stoves, etc,
arrived in town last night, and
steps will be taken almost imme
diately to distribute these along
the line where they will be most
needed.
All the necessary details in the
arrangements for the commence
ment of aggressive construction
work on the Fairbanks line, are
being worked out now, so that as
early a start as possible can be
made in the spring, after which
the work will be pushed vigorously
to completion.
Much, of course, depends upon
the appropriation and the amount
of it which will be allotted for work
on this division of the government
road.
If the appropriation asked for by
Secretary Lane goes through, it is
confidently expected that a large
portion of it will be allotted for
the work in this district. As large
a force as it is possible to work
will then be put on, and it is quite
possible that the road between Ne
nana and Fairbanks will be com
pleted this year. Nenanaites will
then be able to eat their Thanks
giving dinners with their Fairbanks
friends and the two towns will be
drawn closer together.

DECLARES TIMES
The Cordova Times is authority
for the statement that former Dele
gate Charles A. Sulzer has been
elected to represent Alaska in Con
gress for the term beginning March
; 4, 1919. The Times bases its state
ment on both official and unofficial
returns from every election precinct
in the territory of Alaska. There
was no election held at Crogiung,
Naknek and Nushagak, in the Third
division, and there will be no re
turns from them, according to re
ports from the westward.
There is still conflict, admits the
Cordova paper, in the reports from
several precincts, but accepting in
every instance the returns most
favorable to VVickersham from every
precinct where there is doubt and
Sulzer’s plurality in the territory
I is 26. Accepting the returns most
' favorable to Sulzer and his plurality
is 53. The outcome in the several
divisions was: First division, Sul
zer 69 plurality; Second, VVicker
sham, 191; Third, Sulzer, 150;
Fourth, Sulzer 2.
The complete returns also elect
James A. Patterson, Democrat, over
Joseph Murray, Republican, for rep
resentative in the Third division.
This position has heretofore been
in doubt.
The election of Mr. Patterson
1 gives the Democrats three repre
sentatives from each of the four
divisions, and the Republicans one
representative from each of the di
visions.
The Democrats elected all of the
territorial senators and all of the
territorial road supervisors,
i The personnel of the territorial
legislature will tie as follows:
i First Division—James R. Heck
man, Ketchikan, merchant, Repub
lican, holdover; William Britt, Ju

Canvassing Board
The Canvassing board was to have
begun an official count of the re
turns upon the return of Governor
Riggs to Juneau, early this month,
so it is quite likely the results will
be determined officially within a
very short time. The board consists
of the governor, the surveyor-gen
eral and the c Hector of customs.
