PICTURES SHOW
WORK PROGRESS
ANCHORAGE.—Motion pictures
will visualize to persons in the
States constructing and operating
work and agricultural activities
along the route of the government
railroad in Alaska. Nine thousand
two hundred and forty feet of
film have been sent from Anchor
age to Washington City, and after
exhibition to administration offi
cials. senators and representatives
in congress they will be shown
on screens in various parts of the
country.
Most of the pictures were taken
last fall at the time of the visit
of E. O McCormick, chairman, and
members of the federal commission
appointed by President Wilson to
investigate the resources of Alaska,
particularly along the line of the
government railroad. All the work
in connection with the exposing
printing and trimming the motion
films was done in Anhorage by the
official photographer of the Alas
kan Engineering commission.
The scenes depict construction
on the railroad route from Seward
to Indian river, which is 150 miles
north of Anchorage: include f_rm
ing development in the Matanuska
valley, and show coal mining at
Eska and Chickaloor..
10 GET REFORM
OLYMPIA. Wash.—Mrs. Fran
ces M. Haskell, “the lady from
Pierce County." the only woman
member of the 1919 Washington
legislature, came to the session,
she said recently to try to help
improve the surroundings of the
members of the Grand Army of
the Republic who must rely upon
the state for their living.
"Help beforehand, rather than
after," is the creed of Mrs. Has
kell declared she follows in her
work for the veterans. “I hope to
do things for the G. A. R. homes
and also "help in public welfare
work”
Mrs. Haskell lives in Tacoma.
In politics she is Republican and,
according to her friends a/d fellow
members of the lower house, her
brand of Republicanism is "regu
lar.”
Speaker Fred A. Adams made
Mrs. Haskell chairman of the House
Public Morals committee and also
appointed her to the committees
delegated to handle appropriation?
education, state soldiers and vet
erans' homes, state library, medi
cine, surgery, dentistry and hy
giene.
Mrs. Haskell made friends on
the opening day of the session
when she introduced a resolution
intended to permit the men of
the House to smoke during the
sittings. A Washington rule makes
it necessary for a resolution to he
passed before the legislators can
smoke while at work making laws.
None of the men wanted to intro
duce the resolution because Mrs.
Haskell was present so she intro
duced it herself.
In her G. A. R. work Mrs. Has
kell speaks with authority for she
is a past president of the Tacoma
branch of the ladies' department
*>{ the Veteran's organization.
She has been active for some
time in politics in Washington
When Charles E. Hughes ran for
the presidency she organ.red worn
en's clubs for him through tj,e
state. At present she is president
of the Pierce County Wet’en's
Political club.

• ______
ANCHORAGE.—If the govern
ment decides that in order to lessen
the industrial shock incident to the
sudden transition of the country
from a war to a peace basis public
work should be undertaken to pro
vide employment for returned sol
diers. then, in such circumstances,
the federal railroad in Alaska, ac
cording to high officials, should be
given special consideration. It is
an enterprise, they argue, not in
contemplation but in progress of
construction, and to conduct the
work on a more extensive scale now
than was originally planned would
not add to the ultimate cost, but
would merely hasten the road's
completion.
With fy view of placing honorably
discharged army men in necessary
governmental work. William C.
Edes, chairman of the Alaskan
Engineering commission, is support
ing the proposal that congress make
an extra appropriation for con
struction activities on the railroad
during the 1919 season. The
amonut of $4,009.00 remains of
the original appropriation allowed
by congress for the building of
the line. Besides this sum. an ad
ditional amount of several millions
could be used to great advantage
next summer.
Former employes of the Commis
sion who enlisted in the army and
who recently were discharged are
constantly returning to Anchorage,
and these are only the advance
guard of the host that will come
later.
At present the railroad job is re
! duced to small proportions. To
i expand it to its former working
! strength and thus provide emplov
, ment for a material number of the
' men that left it to join the colors
j congress, declare officials in charge
i of the work, should make, besides
I the regular allowance, an addi
' tional appropriation.
