FARMING MACHINES
SENT TO MATANUSKA
Spring Planting Completed and llig
Crop Is Expected in the Far
Fpper Country,
The first binder in the Matanuska I
valley was received recently by Ed-,
ward Saindon, who has a farm be
tween Matanuska and Palmer. In the
! shipment from the States Mr. Saindon
also received a cultivator, a potato
digger and a wagon. His investment
was made in anticipation ol an excel
lent crop of grains this season and
he reports that every indication points
to a bumper harvest.
Farmers in the Matanuska valley
have completed their spring planting
and sowing, according to reports
from the land and industrial depart
ment. Potatoes are already up and
the favorable weather is causing the
crops to grow quickly. All the gardens
are healthy and strong and farmers
are hopeful of a good season, in spite
of their previous fears because of the
rainy spring. Cultivation of the
growing crops will be under way be
ginning the first of the week.

WANTED JOB AS R. R.
REINDEER HERDER
A young man, fairly well dressed,
well appearing, and with a serious, ex
pression on his face, came into the
commission employment office at An
chorage recently and asked for a job
herding reindeer. Mr. Ball, who daily
hires men for all sorts of work with
the commission, was stumped. He had
no positions for reindeer herders and
he thought, from his first measure
of the young man, that he was being
“kidded.” Ball sparred with his man
to determine whether he was serious
and found, to his disappointment that
he was, told the young fellow that the
government was not in the market for
such Jabor.
It developed later, however, that a
local concern is. about to drive rein
deer from the Rainy pass vicinity
and really has a job open for a rein
deer herder The young fellow will
likely get his position if he finds the
right employer, but the A. E. C. is not
in the reindeer business as yet.

(WIT WARD RETCRNS FROM
INSPECTION OF BRIDGES
Capt. T. M. Ward returned today
after an inspection of all bridges from
Mile 45 to Kern Creek and reports the
line in condition for traffic with light
engines.
Capt. Ward has been advised that
an appointment as major in the new
army is available if he can be spared
from the construction organization of
the railroad. He and other employes
of the commission would like to en
ter the railway engineer corps for
service over seas, but the department
of the interior has indicated that the
early completion of the line from here
to the coal fields is in itself a most
important project in connection with
the mobilization of the country’s re-1
sources.
