FOUR GANGS
ON NEW WORK
Four gangs of stationmen arc at
work at present on the uncompleted
section of the Turnagain Arm line be
tween (iitdwood and Mile 71).
These gangs have established camps
and are opening up ground along dis-j
tricts totaling a mile, at points where j
the most extensive grades are neces- j
sary. When this work is far enough 1
advanced, intervening lighter work |
will be covered so that all of that sec- ,
tion will be opened at once.
E. Mullen, conductor on the U. S. j
railroad, sutained a severe laceration
of the foot when he stepped on a piece
of broken window glass in the cab of
a freight train yesterday, and is using
a cane today.

COMMISSION STILL PROCEEDING WITH
ANCHORAGE PLANS,REFERRED TO DY DANIELS
IN HIS LETTER ADVISING WORK AT SEWARD
Advices from Anchorage are that
the Alaskan engineering commission
are proceeding with the project pro
posed by Commissioner Mears to es
| tablish commercial coal bunkers
! there. These are the plans referred to
j by Secretary Daniels in his letter writ
ten to Senator Poindexter, who
! made inquiries on behalf of those in
! terested in the project early this year,
| the answer being forwarded here by
• the senator.
The letter in full follows:
Seward, Alaska, April 21, 1917.
My dear Senator:
Receipt is acknowledged of your let
ter of April 10, 1917, inclosing tele
gram from the Chamber of Commerce,
Seward, Alaska, and in reply I am
pleased to furnish the following sum
mary of this Department’s letter
I dated March 12, 1917, to the depart
i ment of the Interior from which it
will be noted that steps have already
i been taken to safeguard the Navy’s
interest inso far as relates to the de
; velopment of the Matanuska coal fields
by private enterprise.
With reference to a terminal for de
! livery of coal for naval purposes, the
1 range of tide at the port of Anchor
age is about 37 feet, the currents are
swift, and it is not always possible to
cross the bar just below Anchorage
without having to wait for the tide.
There is ample land there for the ex
i pansion of a terminal for reserves
for commercial and governmental
purposes, and it is understood to be
the intention at present to dredge a
, wet basin at Anchorage suitable for
the accomodation of colliers and other
vessels while loading; also that it is
planned to erect a coal handling and
storage plant around this basin for the
i purpose of loading vessels. This proj
ect is entirely a commercial one and
in no way commits the Navy Depart
ment to select the port of Anchorage
as a base for coaling.
The port of Seward, however, ap
pears to more nearly satisfy the con
dition of quick approach from the sea,

NOTICE OF TERM OF COURT AT
SEWARD, ALASKA.
IN THE DISTRICT COURT FOR
the Territory of Alaska, Third Di
vision.
The President of the United States of
America, to the Residents of the
Third Division of the Territory of
Alaska, and to all Whom It May
Concern:—Greeting:—
You and each of you will please take
notice that by an Order of the Court,
duly made and entered, a Special Term
ot the District Court for the Territory
of Alaska, Third Division, has been
called and will be held in Seward,
Alaska, beginning on the tenth day of
August, 1917, and will continue as
long thereafter as the public welfare
may require.
i Dated at Valdez, Alaska, this (>th
day ol July, 1917.
FRED M. BROWN,
District Judge.
Attest: ARTHUR LANG, Clerk.
(Seal)
First Pub. July 10,1917—
Valdez, July 28, 1917.
The above term of court is hereby
postponed until the twentieth day of
August, 1917, at the hour of 10 o’clock
•n the forenoon.
F. M. BROWN,
District Judge.
| is an open harbor all the year round
and an advantageous location as re
gards labor supply. It is therefore
recommended that the Alaskan Engi
neering Commission proceed with the
development of Seward as a terminal
for general traflic and for the deliv
ery of coal for naval purposes.
Contingent upon the coal produced
being satisfactory for naval purposes
afloat, the navy department will guar
antee the purchase of about 150,000
tons per annum; this quantity to be
guaranteed during a period of not less
than five years from the date on which
the coal mining is actually begun.
The price to be paid for such coal as
is purchased, plus expenses incident to
delivery into vessels and cost of trans
portation alongside Pacific stations,
shall not exceed the cost to the Navy
of the coal transported from Atalantic
I range ports to these stations; the price
accepted to be determined, if practi
| cable, as the result of competitive bid
ding.
In the case of the first 25,000 tons
delivered, the navy; department will ac
cept the coal at the price agreed upon,
provided it is of a quality not inferior
i to five per cent less efficient than the
coal tested on the Maryland on No
vember 7th to 18th, 1914; the remain
der of the coal supplied to be of a
quality equal to that furnished for the
test referred to, or to be subject to an
appropriate reduction in price; and the
results obtained from the fim year’s
supply—150,000 tons—shall determine
whether further deliveries of this coal
( will be accepted.
With reference to the item of deliv
ery, it is understood that satisfactory
arrangements will be made under
which the coal may be accumulated in
! such fuel ships of the navy as may
report for cargo tonnage.
Sincerely yours,
JOSEPHUS DANIELS.
