SPEEDY WORK
Announcement that thru traffic on the railroad will
be resumed Friday marks what may be considered a re
cord in railroad repairing.
With two bridges practically carried away, numer
ous trestles and roadbeds washed out, the repair crews of
the railroad have worked like beavers and have brought
work to completion in advance of time set for resuming
thru traffic from Broad Pass to McKinley Park.
It is here that the veterans of the service, skilled in
the work of harnessing waters and meeting the difficul
ties peculiar to Alaskan terrain have shown their worth.
While suffering these mishaps, the Alaska Railroad
has only shared the fate of a large number of railroads
in the States where high waters have ruined age-old
roadbeds and caused more lengthy tieups, and necessity
for routing around the trouble over other lines.
KODIAK HO Sin
SERI! SHIPS AT SEA
BEnER THAN ANCHORAGE
Wireless operators aboard ships
plying the Gulf of Alaska will be
overjoyed to learn that the Signal
Corps station at Kodiak, WZA, will
institute 24-hour service effective
August 16.
Although moderately powered,
this station in an open position is
far more effective than the An
chorage radio as far as ship wire
less is concerned.
One and possibly two additional
operators will be sent from Anchor
age to Kodiak to work under Chief
Operator Weissinger there. George
Homan, formerly operator at the
now almost-decommissioned Sew
ard Signal Corps station, was pro
moted as of August 1 to the rank
of Corporal
Announcement was made that
Dr. Thomas G. Sutherland had
been appointed examining physi
cian for the Cordova district for
the Department of Commerce and
has received the necessary equip
ment.
FILM EXPEDITION HIKES
"SHOTS" POUR BEAR,
WtLROS. AND ARCTIC LIFE
Special to The Gateway
The Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film
ing expedition for the motion pic
ture “Eskimo,” now in the Arctic
along the Nome coast, has been
engaged the past few weeks in
“shots” of seal, walrus, polar bear
and other Arctic life. The party
will winter at Teller when cold
weather sets in.
First-rate communication with
the “Outside” is maintained both
from the Nanuk, fur-trading ves
sel chartered for the picture, and
the main camp, by means of ama
teur radio. Chief Photographer
Clyde de Vinna, who built a solid
reputation in British East Africa
when he filmed “Trader Horn,” is
also a radio amateur and holds
nightly confabs with friends in Cal
ifornia, Washington, Philippine Is
lands, and other points on the
globe.
The only coking coal on the Pa
cific coast is that from the coal
mines located within 35 miles of
Tacoma.
