^ ASHINGTON. L>ee. 24.—Chairman
Edes of the Alaska engineering com

prospects for future construction are
pood and woik can be pushed forward

Edes expresses himself as being ex
tremely gratified by the progress made
ho far and asserts that the prophecy
made by Lane that the road can be
completed within three years. Is full}
