WEEKLY PROGRESS REPORTS.
Anchorage Division.
Following are the progress reports of the various de
partments of Anchorage Division for the week ending
March 3, 1917:
MAINTENANCE OF WAY.
Water Service and Plumbing.
Fire hydrants were installed at the base hospital during
the period. A force was engaged in placing plumbing fix
tures in outfit cars, flushing water mains and sewers, thaw
ing pipes and general repair work.
Bridge and Building Department.
The placing of concrete foundations for machinery in
th^jnachine shop was completed. Work on the construc
tion of outfit cars continued and five cars were finished
during the week.
Eska Creek Coal Spur.
The clearing and grubbing for this line is 90 per cent
complete, all stationmen having made excellent progress.
Milo Jonovich has started on his contract for the ties for
the spur.
Extra Gang No. 1, with a force of 50 men, has graded
2600 feet of the line.
Mechanical Department.
Considerable work was done in connection with set
ting up the forging machine and the punch and shears.
The heavy repairs to engine 265 are 95 per cent complete.
Light repairs were made to engines 221, 225 and 280, and
the general overhauling of engine No. 1 continued. Ex
tensive repairs are being made to Browning crane No. 1.
The 100-lb. steam hammer has been connected up and
is in operation. The plate rolls are also in operation.
The usual amount of miscellaneous routine repair work
and private jobs was done by the shop force.
TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE DEPARTMENT.
With the exception of a small force engaged in re-hang
ing a wire on the Matmuska Branch, which will be com
pleted in about one week, there is no work in progress in
connection with the telegraph, telephone, electric light and
power services, except routine operation and maintenance,
i _
TURNAGAIN ARM DISTRICT.
Clearing Right-of-Way.
Five miles of clearing through the heaviest timber has
been completed between Indian Creek and one mile north
of Glacier. The contractors will be able to make faster
progress through the remaining light timber. Station lab
orers will be employed by the contractors to hasten this
work.
Grading.
Three small coyote shots were put off during the week
with very good results. Night crews have been put to
work where there is a possibility of a delay holding up
tracklaying. All contractors are making good progress
since the days have lengthened.
The Commission force in the cut one and one-half miles
south of Potter Creek averaged five feet of coyote holes
per day of eight hours for each jack .hammer during the
week; making a total of 60 feet of coyote hole and 11 feet
of bootleg.
A contract was let to Allenbaugh & Co. at Bird Point,
and two additional grading gangs will sign contracts with
in a few days for work at that place. The letting of this
work at this time will avoid the building of a corduroy
road from the boat landing at Bird Point to the proposed
steamshovel camp, one mile north of Bird Point.
Miscellaneous.
The mess house and bunk house at Camp 83 are both J
practically completed, except for placing the roofing pa
per.
Hauling has been rendered difficult by the recent thaw
ing weather. The trail is practically bare of snow from j
Rainbow to Falls Creek.
MATANUSKA DISTRICT.
Matanuska Branch.
The ice on the river remains solid enough for heavy
hauling, and it is expected teaming can continue for at
least two weeks more.
Schedin & Company will finish their coyote holes within
a week and should be ready to shoot their large shot of
approximately 15,000 yards within 10 days.
Divyak & Company will fire their main shot in about
two weeks. This is expected to move about 16,000 yards.
Emil Nelson & Company, clearing contractors in the
vicinity of Camp 27, are expected to finish next week. All
clearing on the Matanuska District will then have been
accomplished.
Main Line.
The winter snow road on the Main Line between Mat
anuska and Cottonwood is practically gone, owing to re
cent thawing weather, but beyond Cottonwood conditions
are favorable to heavy teaming.
The piledriver crew is engaged in driving piles for the
wagon bridge over the Little Susitna River, and within
a few days will commence on the Little Susitna trestle.
About 3000 ties have been hauled south of the Little
Susitna to date and distributed along the grade in the
vicinity of Cottonwood.
The greater part of the construction material required
for the work north of Willow Creek has now been hauled to
Willow Creek, and distribution is being made to the vari
ous points where it will be needed.
Seward Division Notes.
Following are the progress reports of the various de
partments^, of Seward Division for the week ending
March 3:
Grading.
Weather conditions during the past week permitted
the stationmen working between Miles 7 and 12 to make
fair headway. Good progress is being made with the

Mile 34. E. C. Larson & Company are doing good work
on the Spencer Glacier diversion dam. A small gang con
tinues the enlarging of No. 3 tunnel at Mile 52. The
drainage in tunnels 1 and 3 is being kept open, prepara
tory to operating the railroad to Kern Creek early this
spring. A rotary snowplow will clear the line for traffic to
that point as soon as conditions permit. There are not
more than four feet of snow on the summit at Mile 45.
The station gangs between Kern and Glacier Creeks are
doing satisfactory work.
The piledriver has been assembled at Virgin Creek
and will start driving piles in that vicinity the first of next
week.
The Commission dog teams have been hauling 60 per
cent dynamite from Mile 40 to the Turnagain Arm work.

DO YOU WASTE MONEY?
Almost every one does. Bread east upon the
water comes back again. But when you throw
money away it mighty seldom ever comes back.
What’s going to happen to you when you have
no more money to waste? Why not open an ac
count here? $1.00 does it. Doing it once a week
for a year means $52 to the good for you—and
the interest we pay you in our Savings Depart
ment. Try it for a few months, you will be sur
prised to find how fast your account will grow.
