and the road in fine shape.

ward help secure the Standard Oil
Tanks at Seward, and sends the Gate

ceived by Col. Mears from the Stand
ard Oil Company, an appreciation ot
the work done by the late head of the
Alaska Railroad:
Col. F. Mears, U. S. Engineer, Camp
Lewis, Wash.
Sir:—As you are probably aware,*
our negotiations for a site for our
Seward distributing station were re
cently brought to a successful conclu
sion. We believe you will be interest
ed to learn that construction work on
our plant is now progressing rapidly,
and that we anticipate being in activ* .
operation at that point well before tin
beginnig of the winter season.
The task of securing a lease lor a
suitable site for our plant might well
have been extremely difficult, as a
natural consequence of the many fea
tures involved, and with which you
were familiar. That we were success
I ful in effecting a satisfactory conclu
j sion to our negotiations, with a mini,
j mum of delay, was, we consider,
i largely due to your personal efforts.
May we not take this opportunity to
again thank you for your very able
assistance? In doing so we fell that
we are expressing the appreciation *
not only of this Company, but more
particularly of the communities which
will benefit from the service to be af
forded by our new' distributing unit.
