Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of -
the Northland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with Al
askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great
er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
a high purpose can be real;zed.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pain
stakingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”

GAME COMMISSION
REPORTS RECENT
FAIRBANKS CASE
INTERIOR MAN SAID TO HAVE
BEEN DEALING WITHOUT
A LICENSE
The Juneau office of the Alaska
Game Comission ha3 received advice
from Alaska Game Warden Frank Du
fresne, that after repeatedly warning
Albert Regalyi of Fairbanks, Alaska
to either take out an alien fur-dealer’s
license or to cease buying furs, a
case was filed against him as an alien
dealing in furs without license, under
; the Alaska Game Law. Ragalyi is an
! alien who allowed his first set of de
j claration papers to expire and now
(holds his second set of first papers.
When his place was searched under
warrant, a considerable number of
furs, both manufactured and raw
were found. Some of the pieces were
being manufactured for persons in
Fairbanks and Ragalyi admitted own
ership of others. A case was filed
against him for dealing in furs "with
out having a license. He demanded a
trial before the commissioner, was
found guilty and fined $500, which he
refused to pay, stating that he would
serve it out in jail in preference. A
few days after being committed to
jail he paid the remainder of the fine
and obtained his release.
The furs belonging to persons who
were merely having Ragalyi manufac
ture them for them, are being return
ed to their owners as ownership is
proven. The remaining furs which
belong to Ragalyi were forfeited by
the court and will be sold at public
auction.
! MRS. 1. L. WALLE1 ILL,
IS TAKEN TO SEATTLE
Accompanied by her husband, for
; mer Deputy District Attorney, Mrs. J.
L. Waller of Anchorage was brought
to Seward Saturday night and sailed
south on the S. S. Yukon, en route to
Seattle, where Mrs. Waller will under
go treatment for an injury received
as the result of a fall several months
ago. Mrs. Waller’s condition was such
that she was conveyed on a stretcher,
being unable to help herself or stand
on her feet. She will enter the Vir
ginia Mason hospital at Seattle, for
treatment. Owing to her invalid con
dition and pain suffered when moved,
the patient could not be placed in a
berth, so Captain C. A. Glasscock of
the Yukon had a cosy corner curtain
ed off in the lower berth section,
where Mrs. Waller was made comfort
able for the journey south.
Some time ago Mrs. Waller slipped
and fell, wrenching her spine. She
went Outside and wras in the care of a
physician for some months, and re
turned home supposedly cured. Quite
recently she suffered a recurrence of
the old trouble necessitating the pre
sent trip.
Mr. Waller stated that they would
seek treatment in Seattle, and if full
relief was not availabe there might
go on to Rochester and consult Mayo
Bros.
WORLD SLIPPING BACKWARD
CHICAGO, Nov. 14.—Dr. Steffans
son, Arctic explorer, said there are
eras in the world’s progress when is
marches forward, and when it is
slipping backward it goes south. He
feels that the exodus to Florida may
indicate the beginning of a new age.

KNIGHT'S ISLAND MILL
IS BEING DISMINTLEO
'• ' *
H. H. Brown, general shop foreman
of The Alaska Railroad at Anchorage,
passed through Seward Saturday
night en route to Knight’s island,
where he will superintend the dis
mantling of the Oscar Anderson saw
mill.
All machinery with the exception of
boilers housed and left where they are
boiers housed and left where they are
standing. The dismantling of the mill
is the final step in the termination of
Mr. Anderson’s activities in connec
tion with a tie contract let by the
railroad.
Builds Wooden Water Mains
i iviucn timber was cut while the saw
mill was in operation, and large quan
tities of hemlock were absorbed by
the car shops in repair and rebuild
ing work. Among the latest uses to
which native hemlock has been put
is the construction of 900 feet of ten
inch water main, which is being used
by the railroad headquarters for a
suction system in taking water from
Ship creek. In laying the main, pro
vision was made whereby the town
of Anchorage could take water from
the main. Mr. Brown- stated that the
pipe could be manufactured cheaper
In the Anchorage shops than it could
be purchased for Outside, and aside
from the use to which it has been put
has served as a guide to possible man
ufacture of wooden pipe in Alaska.
The pipe has been treated with as
phaltum inside and out.
Converting Sleeping Cars
Among other woods that are enter
ing prominently into car shop works
is native cottonwood, which is now
employed almost exclusively in con
verting the interior of diners and
sleeping cars which are being chang
ed for other uses since sleepers and
diners were discontinued. One sleep
er is being made into an observation
car, w'hile the diner is being convert
ed into a combination baggage and
passenger coach. Highland cotton
wood, says Mr. Brown, is equal to the
best eastern yellow poplar, and is
ideal material for pannel work and
wherever interior finish is desired. By
its free application in other portions
of the car where strain is not evi
dent, it is possible to materially re
duce the weight of passenger equip
ment while at the same time securing
a beautiful finish.
