WORK ON POWER HOUSE TO BE
GIN IN TWO WEEKS—POWER
LINE WORK NEXT
Construction work on the Fair
banks Exploration company’s power
house, which is being built on the
company’s townsite on Garden Island,
will be resumed in about two weeks,
says the Fairbanks News-Miner. Work
on the building was halted last fall
while soil tests were taken and the re
sults sent to the home office. Re
vised drawings for the plant are now
en route to Fairbanks and a crew of
men will be put to work as soon as the
plans are received, according to an
nouncement made by Crosby Keen,
manager of the company.
The building site has been enclosed
and is now being heated in prepara
tion for resumption of construction, j
By the end of the present year the
Fairbanks Exploration company will
have completed virtually all of its
construction program preliminary to
dredging. With the exception of the
Scrafford tunnel, every unit of the
program, including the Chatanika
ditch, power house and transmission
line as well as several less important
projects, is expected to be finished
by January, 1928.
Tht power house alone will cost ap
proximately 81,500,000. Three hun
during the winter months and this
number will be increased to 1,000 this
summer. A warning is sounded by
the company, however, that there are
at present enough men in the Fair
banks district to meet the demand for
laborers. It is said there is little
likelihood that men coming here for
wrork could be placed.
The ditch tapping the waters of
Faith and McManus creeks, which
unite to form the Chatanika river, wTill
be ready to carry water by next fall.
Sixty per cent of the ditch was fin
ished this year. It will be 85 miles
long, including six miles of siphons.
- it
Siphon pipe is being hauled now and
assembling of pipe has already been
started at Crooked creek. Plans for j
the dam -which will impound the
waters at the intake of the ditch have
not yet been received but are ex
ted to arrive here in time to j
permit construction during the com
ing season. Three diesel shovels and
three steam shovels will be used on
the ditch. One of these, a new diesel,
will arrive here on the next freight
train.
About one-third of the Scrafford tun
nel is now completed. In the event
that solid rock is encountered in the
spring work will be suspended until
fall. If partially thawed ground is
met there will be no halt.
The transmission line to carry cur
rent for the electrically operated
dredges will be erected this summer.
Sub-stations to step down the current
will be built at Goldstream and Cleary.
A permanent machine shop is to be
built on the company’s townsite this
year.
WATERFOWL ARE DECLINING
SAN FRANCISCO, March. 17. (/P)—
All along the Pacific coast from
Southern California to Alaska there
is complaint that waterfowl are rap
idly decreasing, hut it appears that
western sportsmen are only just be
ginning to realize the main reason—
the poisoning of millions of birds
in the congested alkaline resorts of
California, Oregon and Utah.

LOOKING AHEAD
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 realized.
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."
