The track was pushed out of line
for about 200 feet and the extent of
the damage will not be known until
the rock is removed. The origin of
the slide has not yet been determin
ed. Small rock and debris are said j
to be still sliding. The slide is said
to he the largest of its nature in the
history of the Alaska Railroad.
Building Temporary Track
Steam shovel crew Nc. 2 are already
at work clearing the tiack, having
reached the slide yesterday after
noon from Curry. Material for the
the construction of a temporary track
around the slide will be sent from
headquarters at Anchoiage. Between
25 and 35 men will be placed on the
work and it is expected the clearing
will be completed within a few days.
The Sutton- Jonesville train will net I
run an account of the slide, but will
run to Moose Creek Thursday and
maybe to Jonesville if tno line is open.
It will carry fi eight and passengers
to Mocse C vek and will return Thurs
day from Moose Creek.
Claim Earthquake Responsible
Railroad workmen on the Matanus
ka branch say that at the time of the
avalanche a perceptible earthquake
shock was felt, and this is believed to
have been responsible for the immense
mass of rock hurtling down upon the
track.
While the Jonesville mine is cut
off and will be unable to ship coal un
til the slide is removed, the railroad
will not be inconvenienced by a fuel
shortage, having a supply in the yard
and the Moose creek and Healy mines
to draw from.
BOBBY COLLINS DROWNED
Bobby, the young son of Mr. and
Mrs. Collins of Latouche, was drown
ed recently, when the youngster fell

beneath him, while playing on the
shore. The youngster and his par
ents were all well known in Seward,
having been here the past summer.
The doctor for the company and a
doctor on the Admiral Watson work
ed for several hours with the young
ster but to no avail.

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 THE 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
