CHAIRMAN EDES
GIVES EFFECT OF
WAR ON WORK
%
That one effect of the war has been
to raise the cost of supplies for the
government Alaska railroad to almost
twice what it was when construction
work was begun is the statement made
to the Juneau Dispatch by Chairman J
William Edes of the Alaskan En-'
gineering Commission, then en route j
north.
When asked point blank his opin-1
ion as to the effect the war would
have on the construction work he
seemed to be at a loss for a direct
answer but he hopes it will not be
very serious. The increase in the
price of powder and all other supplies j
is very great and the cost of rails
since the work began has increased
from $1,200 to $1,500 per mile, which
means an increase of cost for the line
from the coast to Fairbanks for steel
alone more than half a million dol-j
lars.
In answer to a question as to when',
the line would be completed to Fair- j
banks Edes expressed himself by say-1
ing. “Two or three years.” but he be
lieves it possible that this will depend
to a great extent on any effect the
war might have with respect to sup
plies or the number of workers. He
does not seem to think, however, that
. a large number of the construction
workers will be called away for mili
tary service. He is also fairly sure
that Seward and Anchorage will be
joined up this year.

The big coyote hole at Mile 9, fired
Thursday morning, destroyed a por
tion of the old trestle nearby and
hurled most of the material to the left
instead of straight ahead. A steam
shovel has been put in the cut to rush
the change of the line to the new loca
tion to avoid interference with traf
fic for a longer period than necessary.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN
All owners of livestock are remind
ed to keep the same from running
loose on the streets. Orders have
been issued for the enforcement of
the city ordinance in this respect.

TWO MORE BIG |
CARRIERS FOR
R. R. MATERIAL
——
SEATTLE, Friday, May 25.—'The j
charters for two more vessels to aid
in moving the thousands of tons of
supplies for use on the government
railway have been closed by H. P.
Warren, engineering representative of
the Alaskan Engineering Commission.
The two vessels secured are the
steamer Portland, of the Independent
Steamship company, and the barge
Louisiana, of the Griffiths fleet. The
Portland will take 400,000 feet of
lumber, including 5,000 ties, and 100.
tons of general cargo direct to Anch
orage. The charter is for the single
voyage and is for private terms. The
Louisiana will take a consignment of
500,000 feet of lumber, 200 tons of
rails, two large boilers and other rail
way equipment. Delivery of part of
her cargo will be made at Seward.
The movement of cargo to Anchor- j
age has been extra heavy recently.
Besides the two vessels chartered yes
terday the 2,000-ton barge Gen. Fair
* i
child is completing a full cargo for
Anchorage and will sail shortly. The
Daniel Kern sailed May 22 with the
barge Lawrence.

Members of a crew at Mile 9 packed
their blanket rolls and left camp yes-1
terday morning, giving as the cause
“poor grub." It was first reported
that 2C0 had quit, but the number was
officially given as 30. Engineer in |
Charge Weir stated that it was the,
first intimation he had received that
the men were dissatisfied with the»
L-ooking and that the matter would be
adjusted. *
NAME TUNNEL
ENGINEER FOR
THIS DIVISION
Lynton Warren has been appointe<
division tunnel engineer by U. J. Weir
engineer in charge here. Warren ar
rived on the S. S. Alaska and wil
take up his duties at once in connec
tion with the relocation and recon
struction of the line north of Mile 45
Warren comes from the Tehachip
division of the Southern Pacific val
ley lines and has also been on the Sar
Luis Obispo division of the coast line
in Southern California While he sev
ered his connection with the southerr
road before coming north, Warren waf
really only loaned to the Alaskan En
gineering Commission, his formei
chief giving him explicit instructions
to return so soon as his work in Alas
ka is completed. Warren’s success ir
handling the big tunnel fire on th<
Tehachipi division some years baefc
and a similar fire in a tunnel near Sar
Luis Obispo is well known in Cali
fornia railroad circles. The line across
the Tehachipi summit carries about
the heaviest traffic possible for z
single track and by skillful use ot
tempo! ary tracks around the raountair
he was able to cut delays in service
during the reconstruction of the tun
nel to a minimum.
Existing tunnels on this division ol
the U. S. P. R. present quite a prob
lem in winter owing to water seep
age which results in ice.
