It is estimated that the present
shed is being lengthened an addi
tional 100 feet on each end. Huge
timbers are strewn over the ground
lor a considerable area. A siding ac
commodates extra engines and the
work train.
In the opinion of Dr. Alfred S.
Brooks, chief of the Alaska Bureau
of the U. S. Geological survey, the
time will arrive when the present
railroad line running from Seward
to Fairbanks, will become the trunk
of a system of railroads touching
every point in central Alaska where
natural resources demand.
The head of the bureau of fisheries,
Mr. Studdert, in an interview recent
ly in Anchorage, said that the 1925
Fair will be grouped with a demon
stration of fish, which, he said, would
have been displayed this year if time
would have been extended. It is his
■ intention of collecting a variety of Al
• aska fish for next Fair.
Anchorage is so brim full of the
get-up-a-tiv-ness that the Alaskan is
running a missing word contest in
their paper, with cash prizes, Leave
it to Anchorage to keep its citizens
in harmony.
i
Much activity is noted at Mile 72
’ on the Alaska Railroad where a large
force of men are at. work construct
ing additions on each end of the
lorg snow shed.
Frank Berk, another old timer

• Mr. Berk was born in Australia in

and came to Alaska 49 years ago.
The last ten years he had been lo
cated on the Yukon River near Ruby,
until a year ago when he became ill
and went to the Anchorage hospital
for several months, afterwards be
» ing transferred to the Pioneers
Home. He leaves no known relatives.
Mr. Condit of Sitka ol'fciiated at the
funeral.
< »;iir; 1 ?cvernment reoo.ds show
that there are fewer paupers in the
• almshouses of the United States than
there have been before in the last 20
years, and the number per 100,000 of
• the population is less than it ever
has been. That is one proof that our
people are in a more prosperous and
• contented condition now than they
have ever been before.

AN EMPIRE BUILDER
As all railroads in years gone by have been the greatest
contributing factors in development of the regions through
which they passed, so also is TIIE ALASKA RAILROAD
each day accomplishing much towards the building of an
empire.
In place of the old tremendously expensive and inconve
nient method of transporting supplies of whatever character
over rough trails from the coast, there is now a modern rail
way that carries supplies and equipment in greater quantities
to and from the Interior, and along the way, in much less
time and at far less expense than was formerly required.
This great steel highway offering regular twice weekly
freight and passenger service between Seward, Anchorage and
Fairbanks; and tri-weekly mixed service over the Chickaloon
and Chatanika branches,, is at your service. For further in
formation write
