On lower Doorman some likely look
ine dirt has been uncovered but very
little development work has been done
Now that an inspection of the gov
ernment railroad in Alaska is to he
made by members of the House ter
ritorics and appropriation committees*
vork is now being hurried pell
m«‘M on the Seward division. And the
. ord for the extra spurt came from
the headquarters of the Alaska Engin
eering Commission at Anchorage* pre
sumably* for all things relative to the
Seward Division originates from the
Anchorage office.
As a consequence of the forth com
ing inspection* every man from the
Talkeetna division* every available
man from the Anchorage Division are
now out on the Seward Division north
of Mile 47* according to unofficial ad
vices. The large number of men rush
ed suddenly to the new front line of
defense comprise T. &T** men* bridge
builders* snow shed men* track layers,
tie layers* pick and shovel men • etc.
The sidings north of Mile 47 look
if a circus train had been switched
north . There are the hunk cars* mess
cars and the host of the rolling stock
from the Anchorage division. Hun
dreds of men are working* not only on
the day shift hut the orders are to
work two shifts* night and day.
After five years waiting, the rush
orders finally were issued ami now
everything is feverish. because th*»
members of the House coming north
are probably going to make a real in
speetion and not a “whitewashing" in
spection.
But what are the Powers that b*
going to sav when the question is ask
ed: “Why the sudden excitement and
groat wsh ? Who delayed the game?
For what purpose was construction
work hold-up? Why was the appropri
ation for the Seward Division alwavs
cut* when the Seward Division is the
outlet of the great and grand and gi*
gantie enterprise of government own
ership?"
The average person would rather hr
down on Fox Island than in the shoes
of the Anchorage authorities, because
♦ V|ovr are going to he some questions
asked that are going to he hard to
give a reasonable answer.
But hundreds of extra men are how
ever rushing work on the Seward Div
ision for a purpose and that purpose
is clear, to do something so that the
House members may he able to ride
from Seward to Anchorage after five
years of construction work on a rail
road which was at one time a railroad
and traffic was in operation.
