WORK ON ALASKA
* ROAD PROGRESSES
After spending several weeks in Al
aska, during which he inspected the
construction of the Alaska railroad,
Herbert A. Myers, assistant to Frank
lin K. Lane, secretary of the interior,
arrived in Seattle yesterday. Mr. My
ers is In charge of the Alaska rail
road affairs. On the trip of inspection
he was accompanied by Edwin F.
Wendt, a member of thee nglneerlng
board of the interstate commerce
commission, and A. D. Shepard, of
San Francisco, an experienced traf
fic man.
Mr. Myers said that until this trip
he had never completely realized
what a wonderland Alaska was, and
that he believed more than ever that
the great need of the Northern terri
tory is greater transportation facil
ities.
Visited Coal Fields
“We stopped at Ketchikan, Juneau,
Yakutat, Hoonah, Controller Bay.
Cordova, Valdez, Latouche, Seward
and Anchorage, and went 250 miles
inland along the line of the govern
ment railroad,” Mr. Myers said last
evening. “We also went to the heart
of the Matanuska coal fields and In
to the Moose, Eska and Chlcaloon
mines that are being developed there.
The government railroad Is in every
sense a real railroad and much pro
gress has been made In its construc
tion. It is our hope that by fall of
next year the line will be completed
and in regular operations from Sew
ard to the MatsfCiiska coal field and
northward into the Talkeetna coun
try. The railway, when finally com
pleted, will extend from Seward to
Fairbanks, a distance of 470 miles,
with a forty mile branch to the Mat
anuska coal fields and a forty mile
branch from Fairbanks to Chatanika,
making a total mileage of 550.
Three Sections 0|»erate
“Three sections of the road are
now in operation, the first running
from Seward to Kern Creek, the sec
ond from Anchorage to King, on the
Matanuska river, and the third,
which is the Tanana Valley railroad,
from Fairbanks to Chatanika. Con
struction work is in progress at nu
merous points on the line and the
work is preceeding just as rapidly as
it is possible to secure the necessary
lpbor and materials. A_ first-class
road is being built on an alignment
with the lowest possible grades for
the character of country traversed.
“What Alaska needs is transporta
tion. Transportation means cheaper
fuel, and cheaper fuel would mean
the establishment of many industries
in all parts of the territory. This
would mean the settlement of more
people there and the opening up and
development of sections that have as
yet been untouched. Alaska needs
more advertising, for people as yet
do not appreciate its magnitude and
its value. Alaska has been fortunate
in having a great many friends in
congress, and in Washington, and if
a joint committee of both .houses
could mako a trip there it would be
very helpful, for such a trip could
only result in the carrying out of ev
en greater extent the good work that
has already been started.”—P. I.

THE THRONE IN THE HOME.
Where Two Should Rule ae One to In
sure Real Happiness.
“A man may build a throne for the
woman be loves," says the Mother’s
Magazine, “but be will And that to
make her a queen he must mount it be
side her, for only where two rule as one
can either hold true sway. Whether
married or elugle, we do not live unto
ourselves alone. All the world some
how is affected by what we are, and in
the married state we have a greater
obligation than merely to keep the
peace or to dbserve the conventions or
to demonstrate how we can Improve
upon God’s law of life and love.
“It is well that we should use every
God given power of mind and splriU
every quality and grace and virtue at
our command, before and after, In or
der to live up to the privileges and re
sponsibilities of marriage. But mar
riage fortunately is a thing of the
heart rather than of the intellect, and
It is our wrong attitude of mind to
ward matrimony that would drag it
down to our own level and limit of
comprehension nnd make it a merely
human mistake instead of a divine gift.
“If we would make It a blessing In
stead of a curse, if we would have it
encompass all of our needs in Joy nnd
sorrow, if we would have it endure
with us through life and eternity as the
sublime fact of our existence, we must
live up to it hour by hour in a spirit
of faith and hope and charity."
