FAIRBANKS NOT DESIGNATED
AS BOAD TERMINUS
Washington,—While the newspapers
at the country nil stated that the Al
aska government railroad will be con
structed from Seward to Fairbanks, a
k'tailed description of the route as
approved by the President does not
j mention Fairbanks. The description
I of the main line- as sot forth in the
I President's letter of designation, after
' reciting that the road shall begin at
: Seward, extend through the Kenai
peninsula, around Turnagatn river,
j thence up that stream- closes with-the
| words:
“Thence crossing Broad Pass and
entering the drainage of the Xenana
River, thence continuing northward,
following the drainage of the Xenana
i i ives. Total distance from Seward
’.16 miles, more or less.’*
Seattle Says Fairbanks to be Terminus
Seattle_It is stated here that not
withstanding the failure of the Pres
ident t<> name Fairbanks specifically
as the interior terminus of the gov
’ enunent railroad that there is no
•loubt but that the roa 1 will be built
' to that place. It is said that the Ta
| r.ar.a river terminus was left out
indefiniately for the reason that ttc
work on the railroad this year will be
confined to the coast end- and that
further investigation may disclose that
•he lire should be extended beyond the
Tanana river and cross it at some
ooint that would leave Fairbanks off
j the main line. In that case a branch
| line would be built to Fairbanks.
It is understood, however, tbat the
; nreeent plan is to make Fairbanks the
j interior terminus of th? road.
Contract System to Prevail
Washington,—Secretary .if the In
. terior Franklin K. Lar.e in giving out
•he decision of President Woodrow
Wilson in the ease of the Alaska rail
'ond. said that work will begin on
the road at once. The work will be
■ nr-formed under the system of let
*ing individual contracts r.wertug sen
, ante units of the work.
The statement of the Interior de
-i.n-t-i-ont says that the work decided
opon consists of 314 mil's of standard
tea go railroad, and the route adopted
s thu which is known os *he Susitna
; route The rind is going to be built
with its present base of construction
.at Ship Creek. The first work will
be to construct a wharf at Ship Creek
and to dredge out the harbor there so
that a mere adequate channel will be
available for large vessob to enter.
Forty Miles To Be Constructed
It is stated that probably not more
than 40 miles of railroad will be enn
strueted this year.
The commission itself will employ
only a small staff, chiefly engineers,
and supervisors of construction. The
■ other men employed will be by the in
dividual contractors. However, the
government will take mean? to guard
the sanitary and health conditions in
j the working camps.
The road wiil take in the present
Alaska Xorthern road from Seward to
Kern thence around Turnagain
Arm to the Snsitna river, np that
■dream and through Broad Pass to *he
headwaters of the Xenana and down
That stream into the Tanana valley
ond Fairbanks. This is roughlv speak
er. following the line of the ex
tension of the Alaska Xorthern rail
i soad.

May Build To Knskokwlm
While it hits not been dedden upon
it is believed likely that the govern
ment plan will eventually be to run a
branch of the government railroad1
from the main line from some point 1
along the Suaitna river to the Kuako
kwirn river. It is said that the $$•
200.000 of the Congressional approp
riation that is in excess of the amount
estimated as the cost of the main line
from the coast to Fairbanks would
be ample for this branch. It is said
by those who are close to the commis
sion that the remainder of the appro
priation would be ample to construct
a road that would place the Kusko
kwim in touch with the railroad sys
tem, and thug open up another vast
section to setlement and use. Those
who believe that this will be the plan
of the government base their conten
tion on the theory that the government
will keep out of the territory that
is contributarv to the Copper River
and Northwestern railroad unless Con
gress shall increase the appropriaiton
and authorize the purchase of that
railroad also.

A Remarkable Prediction.
Manasseb Cutler of Massachusetts, In
a circular in 1TS7 "booming” the set
tlement which the New Englanders
were about to plant on the Ohio at the
mouth of the Muskingum, declared that
“the current down the Ohio and the
Mississippi" for produce and merchan
dise of ail sorts would one day "be
more crowded than any other streams
on eartb." which was a remarkable
prediction considering that It was
made twenty years before Fulton’s
Clermont was launched In the Hudson,
which was the first steamboat In the
world ever put in successful operation.

SEARCHLIGHTS IN WAR.
How They Are Worked by Distant
Control In Land Operations.
In modern warfare the searchlight
is Invaluable. On dark nights at sea
It Is the only means of guarding
against torpedo boats, which its beams
will reveal at a distance of two miles
and more.
On shore it is the electric eye of the
army. It is carried to all parts of the
field of action by motor truck, and <he
motor that propels the vehicle drives
the electric generator that supplies the
current for the light.
Most of these field searchlights are
not directed by hand, for each Instru
ment is fitted with what is known as
the distant control. Two small motors
govern the vertical and the horizontal
movements of the light From them
an electric cable runs to the station
of the operator, who, although he may
be several hundred feel away, can
send the rays of the light in any direc
tion he pleases.
According to the Navy and Army
Illustrated, one advantage of this dis
tant control Is that the objects picked
op by the beam of light can be sighted
i more quickly and more definitely, for
If the operator stands behind the light
and looks along the beam his vision
is hampered by a luminous haze A
second advantage is that the light can
be placed in an exposed position with
out endangering the men who run it
Were the operator and officer beside
the apparatus they would be certain
to receive the fire that is sure to be
poured upon a searchlight and would
suEfer the instant the range was found.
