ALL FOR HECKMAN.
“All Interior Alaska and the
coast towns I visited are for J. R.
Heckman for national committee
man, as nearly as I could learn
from all the Republicans I talked
with," said O. P. Gaustad, former
senator of the Fourth judicial divi-.
sion, to a representative of the
Ketchikan Chronicle reecntiy, during;
a brief stop in the First cit^. en- j
route to Los Angeles on a hurried
business mission. !
"There is no question that he wilt
be elected by an overwhelming ma
jority. and I doubt even if anyone
will run against him Other can
didates have been mentioned, bu'
their candidacy is net such as seems
likely to unite all wings of the
party as would that of Senator
Heckman."
Senator Gaustad made the trip
over the trail from Nenana to An
chorage, following the route of the
new Government railroad.
PREPARING FOR SPRING.
With six million dollars immedi
ately available for the Alaskan En
gineering commission, Major C. E.
Dole, purchasing agent for the com
mission. began his buying prepara
tions for the 1&20 season with a
rush upon his return to Seattle re
cently from Anchorage, where he
took part in the conference called
by Chairman M -ars for the purpo-e
of reorganizing the. commission
forces. He set his staff to work
preparing calls for bids on two big
steel bridges, three aerial tramway
systems, and 1,000 tons of ham,
bacon, groceries, oats, hay, and oth
er provisions needed in building the
Government’s railroad in the North.
In addition. 4.000 tons of 70
pound standard steel rails, with the
* accompanying fittings, angles, bolts,
and spikes, arc* being shipped from
Gary, Indiana, to Seattle, for the
railroad construction work in the
North. The order will arrive in
Seattle at the rate of 1,000 tons a
week. The steel is to be delivered
under an old contract.
Also, says the Seattle Sundav
Times of December 7, Major Dole
is arranging to have four standard
locomotives and 150 flatcars shipped
from the Canal Zone to Alaska early
in January. The equipment is
owned by the Government.
These preparations pave the way
ft. another great year of construc
tion work on the Government’s Al
aska railroad.
One of the bridges is to span
Susitna river at Mile 264, and the J
other will be built across Hurricane ]
gulch at Mile 284. The Susitna \
contract will cal! for a bridge with *
a clear span of 504 feet, while the j ’
Hurricane gulch bridge will have a ; \
span of 384 feet. The bids will j 5
call for the manufacture, delivery,, 4
and erection of the bridges. Their' <
cost will run into hundreds of thou
sands of dollars. j 1
Aerial tramways are to be used 1
over the Susitna and Hurricane]
gulch for handling equipment, ma-1
terials and supplies until the two ^
bridges are completed. The Susitna ‘
bridge is to be delivered by next |
August, while the Hurricane gulch j
bridge must be delivered by Janu-jl
ary. 1921.
Aerial tramways are to be user j'
over the N'enana river at Mile 370. |
