FAIRBANKS PAPER
INTERVIEWS KDES
ABOIT RAILWAY
(Fairbanks News-Miner)
“When, in your opinion, will the
first through train run between Sew
ard and Fairbanks?” was put to VV.
(\ Etles, chairman of the Alaskan En
gineering Commission, when he was
seen this morning by a representative
of the News-Miner. And the reply
of the railroad builder was that it
would be about the latter part of I DID.
“Of course,** continued Mr. Kdes.
“I don’t want to state definitely that
that will be the time, for a good many
things are liublt* to arise in tin* mean
time. which would upset all plans. I
don’t think, however, that wV will
have any ditti;culty in getting our ap
propriation* for the work, and as
everything is running smoothly now*, j
both here and at the coast. 1 see no
reason why the trains should not be
running by that time.”
Nineteen hundred and nineteen is a
year later than hail been figure*! by
many people of the interior, but even
one extra year will matter little as
long as it is coming.
In the near future, or before the
end of the season, the railroad will be
into the heart of the coal fields.
Asked how the work would progress
this year from Matanuska Junction,
towards Fairbanks. Mr. Edes replied
that it was probable that steel would
be laid for a distance of fifteen miles
from the point where the road cuts off
to the coal fields.
Continuing, toward Broad Bass,
there will be quite a big stretch of
the line that will be cleared and grad
ed, ready for the laying of the rails
next spring. Next spring the work of
laying the rails toward Broad Bass
will continue ami be pushed with all
possible vigor.

MANY MORE WANT
GOVERNMENT LOTS
It has been learned that several peo
ple who wanted cheap lots for homes
were unaware that they could secure
them during the last sale here and
now Mr. Christensen is being a^ked
almost every moment by people for
a chance to get such homesites. The
sale which will come oil' the day after
tomorrow will probably be remark
able for selling oft* in the quickest pos
sible manner several lots to the poo- i
pie who have been compelled to move
their houses from the beach ami to
others. Already there are signs that
the Federal addition and the Cliff ad
dition will be places of numerous
homes and one person is said to be
preparing to open a grocery store out
there, but the chances are that if a»
many people live out there as now
looks likely there will be more than
one branch store.

I I. VM HKDS ON NOVI;
FIND MADK HV NATIYKS
Live clams in interior Alaska, to the
average Alaskan, sounds like a ‘*p:pw
dream.” Hut it is no dream. The
clams are here and may be seen at j
Johnson and Jepsen’s store. Haul Ko
krine and several other natives were
hunting; on the Novi river, 100 to l."»0i
miles from its mouth (they will not;
tell the exact place) when the clams |
were found. They say there are tons
of clams there.
The finding; of live clams in the No
vi basin is a surprise to the numer
ous old-timers who had spent years
hunting and prospecting in that sta
tion. While clam shells were fre
quently found, it was thought they
were ancient, and no thought was giv
en the matter.
The natives will return up the Novi
and make further investigations.—

FAMOFSGERMAN COFFEE
HOl'SKS THREATENED;
THERE’S A REASON
AMSTERDAM, Sept. 9.—Although
it is not admitted in Germany, t\e
famous old German coffee houses, ’the
popular resort of the masses, is about
to go out of business until after the
war.
There’s a reason.
Germany is about out of coffee.
For the last two years the Germans
have used reserve supplies of coffee
stored in Hamburg and Bremen. Ant
werp’s supply augmented this when t
fell to the Germans in 1914. Ther?
since has been a liTHe from Holland
and Scandinavia.
Today, however, the British have so
effectively stopped shipments to ports
reshipping to Germany that none is
available therefrom. Germany Is
1 brewing the last of her precious ber
ries.
Before the war Germany imported
about f>5 million dollars worth of cof
< fee a year, mostly from Brazil and
I Guatemala.
