Coal Branch
Svarko & Co., Hanson & Co., and
Johnson & Co. finished their contracts
during the week. Satisfactory prog
ress is being made by all gangs along
the Branch.
High water in the Matanuska River
cut away about fifteen acres of flat at
uper end of Hole-in-the-Wall, includ
ing about 1000 feet of cleared right
of-way. A change in permanent line,
introducing some other sharp curva
ture in getting away from the area
washed out, will probably have to be
made. At the date of this report the
bank was still falling, but the indi
cations are that the wash will not
continue long, owing to a change of
material in the flat.

Steam Shovel No. 1.., on the branch
line, moved 0120 cubic yards of rock,
of which 3020 yards were used for
bank widening between Stations 1130
ami 1160; 4110 yards for riprap be
tween Stations 1277 and 1206, and 600
yards between Stations 1400 and 1410;
340 yards were hauled to the Mata
nuska Bridge for bank protection.
A small force of carpenters began
the framing of a 120-foot Howe truss
span. The Eagle River bridge repairs
were finished . Piling was driven at
Mile 132 and in various places between
Birchwood and Eklutna to prevent
slides.

Progress of Work North of Matanuska
Junction Shown In Weekly
Report
In order to insure the early com
pletion of contracts between Camps
174 and 180, it has been found advis
able to take away portions of assign
ed areas and re-let them to other con
tractors. Four of the five contractors
who secured awards in the section
north of the Kashwitna River are on
i their stations and will commence grad
1 ing as soon as supplies reach them.
The wagon road is in good condition
as far north as Mile 193, and the two
i lower road camps have been practi
cally closed. It is planned to have a
good road to Camp 195 within two
weeks.
Steam shovel No. 2, on the main iine,
near Mile 170, moved 17,000 cubic
yards, 10,000 yards of which were used
for widening the grade between Sta
tions 5680 and 6320.
Extra gang No. 1 raised and sur
faced track from Stations 5985 to 6060
and gave a second lift of ballast be
tween Stations 5675 and 5785. This
gang also full-tied the siding at Wa
silla. At the end of the week they
moved to the Little Susitna River to
make the fill between Stations 6383 i
and 6404.

ACREAGE
Having for sale at a most reason
able price some of the choicest land in
Resurrection Valley I therefore invite
inquiries from those that contem
plate the purchase of any number of
acres. The success with which all of
those who have already bought
acreage in the Ole Martin homestead
are meeting in cultivating these lands
is the best evidence you can secure of
what the soil can do.

LONG TRESTLE
TO BE DRIVEN
Grade North of Mile 53 Will be Raised
Above Gravel to Avoid
Overflow
Preparations are under way to start
work on 3000 feet of new trestle across
the Placer River flats at Mile 54 at an
i early date. The bridge gang sched
uled to do this work is now being as
sembled at Mile 52 and piling, which
has been cut at available points, will
be shipped to that section.
When the original line was built the
Alaska Northern engineers put a tres
tle across the flat eight feet above
ground and in the intervening years
the flat has filled with gravel up to the
level of the old girders.
The new trestle will be put ten feet
higher, which is estimated as sufficient,
as the fill will not increase so rapidly
in the future owing to the receding of
Spencer glacier.
There was considerable trouble in
this section last fall from overflows.
