TO OUR PATRONS
Until the Light Company completes
its repairs the Gateway will be issued
on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Satur
days, instead of daily as usual. It is
impossible with our auxiliary plant to
issue a paper in eight hours, therefore
the change. However, we will make
the papers you receive until that time
with considerable more news and well
worth waiting for.
The recent disaster at Kanatak, is
one which must enlist the sympathy
of each reader. The town is young
and has suffered many vicissitudes.
It is indeed fortunate that no lives
were lost when the village was inun
dated.
Judge Ritchie at Cordova Saturday

Roadmaster George Colwell and C,
S. Howard, timekeep for this divi
siou, arrived over the government rail
road yesterday. Mr. Colwell states
that he left 52 and came to Mile 4c
on a gasear, and from Mile 40 they
took a volocipede and walked the re
mainder of the distance. In speaking
of the damages caused by the recent
storm, Mr. Colwell declared that the
track was in bad shape. At Mile 3Va
the bridge is washed out, and the
bulkheads washed out for a distance
of over 50 feet. At Miles 4 and 5,
stretch of 50 and 60 feet of grade are
washed out. There is a rock slide at
Mile 9% and the grade is washed out
at Mile 17. A big slide has come down
at Mile 18. There is a large land
slide at Mile 201„£; the bridge at Mile
21 has live feet of gravel over it, and
the bulkheads are washed out. At
Falls Creek, Mile 25, the creek went
out of its channel and took the track
cut for a ditsance of 400 feet. The
cabin oi Jim Kalles, at Mile 26. had
three feet of water in it Sunday, when
Mr. Colwell came by. There was
three feet of water over the track at
Moose Pass. The section house and
road house at Moose Pass is flooded,
and the grade in s'retches of 200 to
400 feet was washed out between
Miles 36 and 40. The cor.cre: pedes
tals were washed from' under the
bridge at Bartlett glacier. One hun
died feet of track is washed out at
Mile 5314. Eighty feet of snowshed
broke down in this vicinity from the.
debris carried over It by the wash
from the mountain. The 121 foot span
at Mile 54 was carried down 300 feet
down the stream and broken to frag
ments. There are num-uo s slides
1 rum Mile <1 to Mile 76. and the
foundation of fee su» vshed at Mile
7 o l2 is badly waslu 1
baetches of travi of from 4G0 to
3000 feet were taken out by the high
tides and storm between Miles 84
and 91, Turnagain Arm.
The tides along the a.m were the
highest ever known. The water was
a iooi c er the sidewalk at Anchor
age be’wr^n the town t : iail
road shops.
Numerous slides occurred along the
railway. Right across from Roosevelt
on the shores of Kenai lake a slide
200 feet wide and extending from the
top of the mountain, shot a mass of
trees and dirt into the lake. A slide
at 20V6 took out the roadbed, tele
phone lines and track for a distance of
260 feet and placed it all out in Kenai
lake.
The damage to the railroad is much
greater than at first supposed and the
officials are. hampered by a lack of
men. While there are many men idle
in this vicinity it is nearly impossible
to get them to work. Twenty-five are
coming from Anchorage on the North
western and others may be imported
from the states.
