PROGRESS ON
MATANUSKA END
Martinovich & Company completed
their contract during the week ending
July 28th and two others, Divyak &
Company and Jankow & Company,
will finish within a few days. By the
time steel reaches their section Olson
& Company will be finished.
At Hole-in-the-Wall, Iverson & Co.,
working on a force account basis, have
practically completed the shoo-fly
around the washout, thus avoiding any
possibility of a delay to the laying of
track at that point. The Matanuska
Kiver was not high during the week,
and the erosion at Hole-in-the-Wall
has practically ceased.
Grading, Tracklaying and Ballasting
No. 1 steam shovel, located at Sta
tion 1560 on the Matanuska Branch,
loaded 7700 cubic yards of gravel,
which were distributed as ballast be*
tween Stations 1520 and 688. This
shovel was moved to Station 708 on
July 27.
Extra gangs Nos. 2 and 3 surfaced
track between Stations 950 and 1024,
Matanuska Branch. Extra gang No. 4
laid steel on the Matanuska Branch
between Stations 727 plus 37.5 and
619, a distance of 10,837.5 feet. Steam
shovel No. 2, on the main line north
of Matanuska, moved 13,000 cubic
yards of material.
The fill for the north approach to
the Matanuska bridge is 75 per cent
completed and the fill for the siding at
Matanuska 95 per cent complete. Ex
tra gang No. 1 gave the second lift
to the track from Station 6300 to 6372.
-A
ON MAIN LINE NORTH
OF MATA NT SKA JUNCTION
The contractors on the main line
work north of Mile 177 are doing well,
and for the most part, will finish on
scheduled time.
No. 1 piledriver crew has completed
driving the structures on Residency
No. 10, and commenced work on Res
idency No. 11. No. 2 piledriver crew
has finished the Sheep Creek structure
and is headed south for Caswell creek.
Incessant rains have placed the
roads in bad condition for hauling, and
the fact that they are not far worse
is due to the repair work done during
the early part of the season.

MAY SOLVE THE GRADE AND CURVATURE .
PROBLEM NORTH OF 45 BY USE Of “Y”
Solution of the big trestle, loop the;
loop, and fourteen degree curvature of •
the old Alaska Northern line north of •
Mile 45, which has been the chief
hobby of opponents of the Matanuska
Seward route as the outlet to the coal
fields may be found in a wye, which
will reduce the grade and at the same
time eliminate much of the trestles
and curvature.
Plans for such construction are said
to be under consideration.
That this solution is sufficient to off
set every objection to routing the coal
through Seward was indicated in re
RAILROAD NOTES
The excavation for roadhouse foun
dations at Mile 114 was completed re
cently and 10-pin arms are being used
to replace the G-pin arms on the main
line from Anchorage to Matanuska.
The work of erecting the masts for
the radio station at Anchorage has
been hampered somewhat by heavy
rains. This work was 75 per cent com
plete at the close of the week.
Bridge gang No. 5 has the Little
Susitna structure 95 per cent com
pleted.
An area of about 27 acres north
east of the Anchorage freight yards
is being fenced to serve as a pasture
for commission stock kept at the cor
ral.
The total disbursements of the office
at Anchorage for the period July 22 to
July 31 were $83,882.47.
EVEN TAKING BARB WIRE
FROM BELGIAN FENCES
AMSTERDAM, Netherlands, Aug.
15.—The Germans are requisitioning
wire, and particularly barbed-wire, all
over Belgium, according to the latest
news from the frontier. The reten
tion of only one wire is allowed, to
mark off the division of the fields.
They are likewise breaking up more
and more car tracks and light rail
roads, carrying off the rails and sleep
ers, as well as cars and locomotives.
