BIY ALASKAN
POTATOES NOW
Replies now being received by the
land and industrial department to cir
cular letters recently sent to home
steaders indicate that there will be
between 11,000 and 4,000 tons of po
tatoes raised in the Matanuska and
Susitna valleys this season.
The Alaskan Engineering Commis
>ion will probably use 400 or 500 tons.
The question now arises what is to
be done with the balance of 2,500 or
;:,500 tons. Replies received from
some of the merchants indicate that
they intend to purchase from fifty to
ninety per cent of their potatoes from
the Outside.
The land and industrial department
desires local and Anchorage merchants
to change their policy and buy more
local potatoes. One way of bringing
this about is for restaurants and resi
dents to agree to demand the Alaskan
spud.
The slogan of the department is,
“By Alaskan Products.*’

MARION SHOVEL
BREAKS DOWN
Delay in grade work in the vicin
ity of Mile o4 will result from the
breaking down of the Marion 40 steam
shovel this morning. A center cast
ing broke and the shovel will be out
of commission until new parts are re
ceived or an actetylene weld is made.

PROGRESS MAP
OF LINE SHOWN
The engineer in charge has received
a progress map showing all work un
dor way from Seward to Fairbanks,
which gives a very clear conception
of the amount of work to be com
pleted.
Those who lack a clear idea of how
much grade w’ork is under way, how
much completed, and how much rail
has been laid, can get the right facts
by taking a look at it, the map being
on display in the chief’s office.

REDUCE COST
OE HANDLING
Walter De Long, storekeeper at An
chorage, who is here on matters of in
terest to the commission, stated to
day that the cost of handling freight
from ship to shore at Anchorage has
been greatly reduced and the efficiency
of handling increased this year.
On the hist trip of the U. S. A. T.
Crook in July her cargo of 3040 dead
weight tons was transferred in fifty
six hours and 35 minutes.
“We have passed all marks in hand
ling freight by barge set during the
rush in the early days of Alaska,”
said De Long. “At St. Michael they
figured that there had never been any
thing or would be anything to equal
the thiry-odd thousand tons they
handled in one season by barge, but
last year we handled at Anchorage •
78,000 tons.

RAILROAD NOTES
Two flat cars arc being converted
into bunk cars in the car shed near
Brosius & Noon’s.
Reports from those informed indi
cate that the news item from Anchor
age that rail had been laid through to
Chickaloon was wrong. Two stream
crossings must be installed before the
track can be completed. The end of
steel is about live miles from Chick
aloon.
The Bucyrus 45 shovel is now at
Mile 10 completing the grade change
at that point. When through, the rail
road relocation will be completed from
Seward through to Mile 11.

ROAD COMMISSION BUILDING
TRAIL FROM ILLIAMNA i
The Alaska Road Commission has
started a crew of men building a new |
road between the town of Illiamna, on j
Cook Inlet to Illiamna Lake. The old ;
trail between the town and the lake
was a difficult one and the road is a
much needed one. The route from
Illiamna to the lake, down the lake
and the Kvichak river is a short and
much traveled one, cutting off many I
miles from the steamer route from
this section to Bristol Bay districts.

of the engineer in charge. This tun

roof will be about 40 feet below the
