OUR RAILROAD
Edes Says It Will Be 1916 Before the
Work Starts On Alaska System
of Railroads.
SEATTLE, June 5.—The steamer
Northwestern will leave here on Sat
urday for the north with Commis
sioners Edes and Mears, of (he Alaska
engineering commission, and with 80
men they are taking with them for
the work of surveying the proposed
government line across Alaska.
Ninety horses will also be taken
ttorth on the Northwestern by the
commission and will be used to take
the supplies of the survey parties
from place to place.
The Northwestern will land the
party at Ship creek, near Kenai, where
the headquarters of the commission
will be established.
Commissioner Edes, president of the
board of engineers, in an address to
the engineering society of this city,
stated today that the commission did
not expect that the work on the Alas
ka railroad would commence until the
year 1916, as the surveys will re
quire all of this year and a large
part of next year before the commis
sion would be in possession of the
data upon which it would be possible
to recommend the road best adapted
for the opening of Alaska and which
would be the cheapest and most eco
nomical to operate the year round.
The commissioner stated that the
expenditure of $35,000,000 was no
small matter and mistakes would be
costly and especially in a new coun
try it would be best to secure all the
data available.
