ROCK WORK ON
HILL INTERFERES
WITH SERVICE
Regular train service out of Seward
will not be possible for some weeks
owing to the extensive reconstruction
! work north of Mile 9. Rig daylight
and through cuts are being made at
that section to enable the relocated
route to cross the hill without a single
*
i trestle. Where the old line seesawed
in and out and up and down around
the rocky projections along the rim of
Grouse creek, the relocated line will
follow an even grade over the most
direct loute possible.
it is imperative that this work be
completed at once as the old trestles
deteriorated rapidly last year under
heavy traffic and would be unsafe for
even the light engines before the end
of this season.
As fast as the new work is com
pleted new steel will be laid, grading
ami ballasting completed and the line
placed in condition for heavy traffic.
In several places the track must be
taken up for a considerable distance
prior to blasting. Sections of track
were relayed yesterday to permit to-1
day’s train to pass, and this extra
track work means a loss of time.

LET ALL STATION !
WORK, KINGS i
TO CHICKALOON
The steam shovel at Mille 11 on the
Matanuska branch prior to April 21
moved 9,300 yards of gravel, all of
which material was placed in the fill
south of Moose creek. This fill is 80
per cent complete.
It is planned to let three additional
contracts for light grading in the vi
cinity of Camp 27. When this is d6ne
the entire Matanuska branch above
Kings river will be covered by station
contracts.
The road between Hole-in-the-Wall
and Camp 32 was nearly completed at
the end of the week.
A small bridge force vvas engaged
on crib building at the two Chickaloon
river crossings. The cribs will be used
as temporary supports for the track.

, I
centiy passed by congress, contains
the following provisions relative to
the disposition of 50 per cent of the
money received from the sale of lots
withi/i townsites along the govern
ment railroad:
“That not to exceed 50 per centum
of the moneys received from the sale
of lots or tracts within any townsite
or townsites heretofore or hereafter;
sold pursuant to the provisions of the 1
act of March 12, 1914, entitled ‘An
act to authorize the president of the
United States to locate, construct, and
operate railroads in the Territory of
Alaska, and for other purpose,’ may,
in the discretion of the secretary of
the interior, be set apart and be ex
pended within the respective town
sites in which such lots or tracts are
sold, for the purpose of preparing the
land for occupancy, the construction,
installation and maintenance of public
utilities and improvements, and the,
construction of public school buildings i
under such terms and conditions as
the secretary of the interior may pre
scribe, and the money so set apart and
designated are hereby appropriated
for the purpose of carrying these pro
visions into effect: Provided, That
such money as may have been here
tofore or may hereafter be expended
for such purposes under and by auth
ority of the Alaskan Engineering
Commission from the funds at its
disposal shall be reimbursed from the
amount designated for the purposes
herein provided.”
NATURAL 6RAVEL
REDS AT RIGHT
PLACE FDR USE
Advantage is to be taken by offi
cials on the Seward division of a nat
ural gravel deposit near Mile 5. This
deposit, which is a glacial formation,
extends east ward from the foothills
of Resurrection mountain and ap
proaches to within 50 yards of the
main line near Mile 5, being piled up
fifty feet above the surrounding val
ley. It was made centuries back as
it is covered by a heavy growth of
spruce.
After cutting into the foot of the
bank at several places to prove its
extent, the engineer in charge ordered
a side track built along the face of
the deposit and will steam shovel it
into ballast cars.
The advantage of a deposit above
grade over a pit is considerable as
heavier loads can be hauled by a light
engine. This deposit could not have
been better placed to suit tho needs
of the U. S. railroad had it been lo
cated to order.

R.R. PAYS FOR
OPERATION COST
The freight and passenger revenues
derived from trains, operated by the
commission between Potter Creek,
Matanuska and way points are more
than sufficient to pay the cost of op
eration.

NOTES
A coyote hole has been dug at the
north end of a through cut between
Miles 9 and 10, which will be loaded
soon and is expected to finish that
particular job all but trimming up
