MOVED MUCH
MATERIAL ON
MAIN LINE
Due in large measure to the very
favorable weather prevailing during
the week of August 4, many of the
station contractors made remarkable
progress in construction work.
No. 1 piledriver crew has but three
small structures to complete before
reaching the long crossing at Willow
Creek. No. 2 piledriver is ready to
commence on the Caswell Creek open
in*:.
With reasonably fair weather, it is
confidently expected that all station
crews on Residencies 1), 10 and 11 will
be finished by the end of the month,
with one exception, namely, Delich &
Co., on the north end of Residency
11.
During the month of July a total
| of 244.000 cubic yards of material was
moved by the Matanuska district con
struction forces, exclusive of ballast
and riprap handled by the Mainten
ance of Way Department within the
district.
No. 2 steam shovel, on the main
line north of Matanuska. moved ap
proximately 12,000 cubic yards of ma
terial, 0000 yards of which were used
to raise track at the north end of the
Matanuska River bridge, and 8,000
yards placed in the passing track and
the wye at Matanuska.
No. I extra gang was engaged the
entire week raising track at the north
end of Matanuska bridge and the
passing track at Matanuska.

LOOK OUT FOR
DROP IN SPUDS
The Land and Industrial Depart
ment authorizes the following:
Reports received from the agricult
ural sections throughout the United
States agree that this year will see
the largest crop of potatoes in the his
tory of the country. Accordingly, it
is suggested to the farmers of Alaska
that they should arrange to sell their,
new potatoes as promptly as possible,
in order to take advantage of the pres
ent prices prevailing.
New potatoes always command a
higher price by reason of their qual
ity. If the yield be held until late in
the fall it is very probable that the lo
cal farmers will have to compete in
an overstocked market and be forced
to sell their crop at prices much lower
than can be obtained earlier in the
season.

STATION WORK
COMPLETED ON
COAL BRANCH
All station contractors on the branch
line to Chickaloon have completed
their work, with the exception of Da
vis & Co. and Harris & Co. The for
mer will finish by the time the track
laying crew reaches their section,
which will be within a few days. The
I latter will probably be through with
their contract by the end of the month.
Camps 27, 32 and 33 have been
closed down and arrangements have
been made to turn the first two camps
over to the Maintenance of Way De
partment. Camp 36 will bo main
tained until the contractors have fin
ished, and Camp 24 will be trans
ferred to the Maintenance Department
as soon as practicable. N
No. 1 steam shovel, at Station 708,
moved a total of 7777 cubic yards dur
ing the week, 5868 yards of which
were distributed as ballast on the Ma
tanuska Branch and Eska coal spur,
220 yards at Anchorage terminal, and
1589 yards were used for bank widen
ing on the branch line. On August 3
the steam shovel was cut in at Station
1150 in order to obtain rock for rip
rapping the washout between Stations
425 and 435. Enough material was
placed at this point to prevent further
erosion, and track has been laid past!

NON-MINERAL
ENTRY BILL
Senate bill No. 950 has been intro
duced in congress, entitled: A bill to
provide for the non-mineral entry of
lands withdrawn, classified, or report
ed as containing coal, phosphate, ni- !
trate, potash, oil, gas, or asphaltic;
minerals in Alaska.
Secretary Lane reported favorably
on this bill July 31, to the committee
on public lands in the senate.
The bill, if passed, will allow entry
men to secure patent upon full com
pliance with the provisions of the
homestead law. Any patent granted,
however, will contain a reservation to
the United States of the deposits on
account of which the lands so patented
were withdrawn or classified, together
with the right to prospect for, mine
and remove the same. Such mineral
deposit shall be subject to disposal by
the United States in accordance with
the provisions of the laws in force at
the time of such disposal.
If this bill becomes a law it will al
low homesteaders to acquire surface
right to land valuable for agricult
ural purposes in the Matanuska field t
outside of the coal leasing units and
reservations.

SCHOFIELD STILL AN
ALASKAN, HE CLAIMS
Judge G. D. Schofield, who was a
candidate for attorney general in the
last election, passed through Seward
en route south on the Victoria on a
trip to take depositions in an import
ant case. Schofield says that he is
still a resident of Alaska, although
the strongest campaign argument
against him in the contest was that
he lived Outside.
