TWELVE MILES OF
RAILS BEEN LAID
Two Big Bridges will Span the Eagle
and Knik rivers on Rairroad
Line to Matanuska.
Fabian Miller, who has been with
a survey party on the construction
work of the government railroad out
of Anchorage during the past sum
mer. and who, returned home or the
Northwestern last night, is one cham
pion of the Alaskan Engineering
commission for the work they have
accomplished during the summer.
Mr. Miller state that at Anchorage,
where only a few months ago noth
ing but a barren beach and timber
covered hills existed, a city which
equals anything in Alaska has been
created. Thiitv-two miles of track
have been graded and the rails now
extend from Anchorage to Eagle riv
er, a distance of twelve miles.
The Eagle river bridge is now be
ing constructed of piling and heavy
timbers and upon its completion the
laying of the rails can be continued
to the end of the grading, permitting
of supplies being sent out from An
chorage over the road.
He states that the impression pre
vails in Anchorage that should con
gress make the appropriation which
it is announced Secretary Lane will
ask for the work, that construction
will be continued all winter, espe
cially on the Matanuska road where
there is considerable rock to do which
ean be done to advantage during the
winter.
The bridge spanning Eagle river
will be six hundred feet long and the
structure across the Knik river will
be a three-bent steel bridge.

What, in all Alaska can you get to
end to your friends in the States bet
er than a few nice views of Alaska?
’here is not a soul living in any
ountry that is not interested in Alas
:a. Not a soul that does not appre
iate pictures of Alaska. A view of
he last frontier on earth, that costs
ou ten cents now, or as much more
s you like, cannot be bought of your
riends to whom you send it for ten
ollars, years from now. What other
ne thing is surer to increase in val
« with time than views? And you
in make your present just as much
r just as little as you like. Remem
br, however, that it takes a little
'me to make them. P. S. Hupt. tf

SOLDIERS ARE IMMUNE *
FROM TYPHOID FEVER.
Sir Frederick Treves, chief of the
British Army Medical service re
ports that during the first year of the
war that there had been thirty-five
deaths from typhoid among the Brit
ish soldiers at the front. Of these
thirty-five, thirty four had been pro
tected by antityphoid vaccination.
The single case of death in a vacci
nated man was of one who had re
ceived only the first dose.
Of 20,V6d Australian troops receiv
ing the .fttotective inoculation, Sur
geon-General Williams reports that
"not one single case showed any
after-symptom which could be con
sidered worthy of consideration. Not
a man had to be taken off duty; drills
and exercises proceeded as usual.”
Another illustration of “an ounce
of prevention is worth a pound of
cure.”
SOME GOOD ATTRACTION8
COMING TO LIBERTY.
The Liberty Theatre management
announces that arrangements have
been made to give its patrons and
the public of Valdez some very high
class attractions in the near future.
The theatre is booked for six months
and with others will show the follow
ing pictures.
“The Pit” with Wilton Lackaye,
supported by Call Kalne, a Milton
Sllls five-act William Brady feature.
In this play Wilton Lackaye created
his greatest stage triumph.
Weber and Fields, in “Old Dutch,”
with Vivian Martin, Charles Judels,
George Hassell and other stars.
“Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage
Patch,” a story that the old and
young know about and will appreci
ate.
Mary Pickford in “Dawn of Tomor
row,” supported by the Famous
Players Company.
Clara Kimball Young in “The
Deep Purple,” a Liebler feature. This
play was written by Wilson Mizner,
formerly of Nome, and Paul Arm
strong.
Robert Warwick in “The Man ot
the Hour,by George Broadhurst, a
Brady feature; also Forbert Warich.
These are all first class attractions
and have been showing on Broadway
stages and on the screen for $2 per
seat. The management of the Liberty
theatre believes that Valdez theatre
goers appreciate good pictures and
has determined to set the standard
for highclass pictures, and states
that while the above plays have been
secured at a large expense that there
will be no advance in the prices of
admission when the special features
are shown.
NO MASONS AMONG
WARRING RULERS
George Fleming Moore, grand
commander of Masons, who assisted
at the dedication of the new Scottish
Rite Temple in Washington, D. C.,
told the Masons that there Js no
prospect for an early peace in Eu
rope, according to the Spokesman
Review:
•‘The great soldiers of the world,
like Frederick the Great of Prussia,
Washington, Lafayette and Welling
ton, were Free Masons,” he said. “It
is a fact, however, that not one of
the kings of Europe which are now
at war belongs to our fraternity,
although the kings of Denmark and
Sweden, both neutral countries, are
grand masters of Masons in their re
spective kingdoms.
“Our Free masonry reaches that
peace of mind for the individual and
for the race is a condition of prime
importance. But the great men of
Free Masonry have never been among
those who belong to what is termed
the party for peace at any price.”
Don’t forget the big Bazaar at
Moose Hall on Thanksgiving evening,
November 25. There will be every
thing that the heart desires for sale:
beautiful fancy work, good candy,
useful articles at well as fancy. This
will be a good opportunity to buy
your Christmas presents. tf
