The tug Daring, towing the barge
William H. Smith, arrived at Seward
recently with a full cargo of supplies
for the Seward division of the gov
ernment railroad. Included in the
cargo was a passenger car and the
boiler for locomotive No. 3 now being
constructed at the Seward shops.
MORE STEEL
Seward has seventy-one miles of
steel railroad while Anchorage can
boast of seventy-two and one-tenth
miles. Not much to crow about, but
still the fact. Lust week saw the
completion of the necessary mileage
on the Matanuska branch that gives
Anchorage this opportunity. The
mileage is divided as follows: An
chorage to Matanuska, 36.2 miles,
main line north of Matanuska, 1.4; on
the main line south of Anchorage,
10.4, and the completion of the Mata
nuska branch to King River, 24.1;
total 72.1 miles.
The Moose lodge held the first of
a series of socials and smokers at
their lodge rooms after the regular
meeting last evening. The Moose plan
to have a smoker every Wednesday
i night during the winter months.
Big Moose Bob Peterson was mar
ried last evening and all Moosedom
led by Fred Martin and Jack Suther
land started a joyful hunt for the
benedict and his bride. The happy pair
were finally located at the residence
of Felix Brown. Bob and the new
Lady Pap were given a strenuous wel
come and escorted safely home by the
whole herd to the music of the hilari
ous Moose yell.
