OL R. R. WORK
FAIRBANKS, Aujr. 21, (By Mail).
—■“I’nless the government stops us,
we plan to go right ahead building the
Alaska railroad on the same scale as
in the past, if not larger. All things
have been subordinated to the conduct
of the war. however, and it is possible
that we may be forced to stop work.
We have received no intimation that
such is to be the ease, still, we never J
know what will happen.”
The foregoing, in effect, was thej
statement of W. C. hales, chairman of
the Alaskan engineering commission,
in relation to railroad work in Alaska,
upon his arrival in Fairbanks yester
day. He further stated that he has
as yet not familiarized himself with
conditions in tin* interior and could say
nothing in regard to the future plans
of the commission. He will, however,
look the situation here over pretty
thoroughly, as he is to be in the in-,
torior for ten days or two weeks and
will divide his time between Xenana
and Fairbanks. He leaves for Xenana
todav with Commissioner Thos. Riggs,
who came up from the railroad town
to meet him.
Accompanying Mr. Edes on his trip
to the interior, is VV. G. Kogelstrom,
chief bridge engineer of the commis
sion, who comes here for the pur
pose of looking over the work inci
dental to the construction of the
brdige across the Tanana river at No
nana. In this connection Mr. Edes
-ays he does not think that it will be
possible to build the permanent bridge
next year on account of the increased
cost of steel.
One of the reasons for Chairman
Edes’ visit to the interior at the pres-,
ent time is that he may look over the
situation with the idea of making es-'
timates as to how much work will be
done next year. After he has done
so and has talked the subject over
with Commissioner Riggs he will very
likely submit the plans of the com-'
mission to Secretarv Lane.

FOUND DEAD
Charles Young Found in Pool of
lilood by Indian After Inspecting
Prospect
"
CHITINA. Aiig. 28, (By Mail). I
“Charlie” Young, a well-known old
timer of the Chitina valley, was found
dead in his cabin near Spirit mountain
about twenty miles from here, by an
Indian, early last Saturday morning.
The Indian came in and reported the
same day. According to the Indian
the body was on the cabin floor in a
pool of blood, lying across a rifle. The,
Indian was too much scared to make
further investigation. The coroner
left here this morning, accompanied
by nine men, the intention being to
hold an inquest and bury the body.
No details will be available until the
coroner returns in three or four days.
Young left his cabin on the morn
ing of the 22nd, with W. J. Rogers,
of Ketchikan, who had been out there |
with him for a few days making an
examination of his copper property.
When they got in sight of the Copper
river Young left Rogers to return to
his cabin to get some ore samples,
and papers which they had forgotten,
intending to reach Chitina late the
same evening. He did not show up
that day nor the following, so Rogers
left Friday morning for Cordova, in
tending to catch a boat for the Out-1
side.
