‘Teach trees would be in blossom
along Turnagain arm these days, if
anyone had thought to plant trees,”
said District Engineer Hanson this
morning in discussing the remarkable
January break-up, which is now being
enjoyed all along the upper inlet.
The warm weather has played hob
with the winter trail from Mile 40 to
Kern creek and Division Engineer
Dose in charge of all work at Anchor
age, and Hanson, from the Turnagain j
arm district, had rough going coming '
over.
“Fifty times is a conservative esti
mate of the number of upsets into
the snow,” said Hanson.
“Dose, coming along behind profit
ed by our mishaps and did not land
quite so often.”
Engineer Dose states that the rail
road north of Anchorage is in contin
uous operation and is handling con
siderable traffic. The line south from
Anchorage extends to within four
miles of Potter creek and is handling
all supplies for the Turnagain arm
work.
“We would have laid steel right into
Potter creek had not the unusually
cold weather in the early part of the
winter made it unprofitable to con
tinue taking out a big cut on which
we had a steam shovel at work,” said
Dose. “But we have not lost any
time as the narrow gauge line with
which dirt was being removed the
cut had already been laid and we are
transporting supplies on that.”
There has been some complaint in
Anchorage about the camps along
Turnagain arm, but both Engineers
Dj^e and I^anson, who pre men of
long experience in railroad construc
tion, state that the camps are the best
they have ever seen on railroad con
struction work.
“We have 50 station gangs with a
total of 610 men at work on Turna
gain arm and the full force numbers
850, while on the south end of the
arm, under Mr. Weir there are over
200 more.
“This is more work than we were i
prepared to handle in some lines ow
ing to the late start last season and
for that reason we are Very anxious
to get in powder. The 400 cases aboard
the Roscoe will be a welcome addition.
“It is out of the question to con
sider handling material over the trail
in its present condition, but if the ice
stays out of the arm, as it has for the
past week, it ought to be easy to land
it at Anchorage.
Both Tinik and Turnagain Arm
channels are reported open as the re
sult of the thaw and the officials en
tertain hopes of getting the tug
through before later cold weather
tightens up the floes.

PROF. MUNSTERBERG
WAS NOTED EDUCATOR
Prof. Hugo Munsterberg of Har
vard, who passed away at RadclifFe
college recently, was as widely known
for his contributions to the press and
magazines on subjects dealing with
the German empire and international
relations during the European war,
as for his work and writings in the
field of education.
From the beginning of the Euro
pean war he wrote and spoke much.
His pro-German activities brought
considerable adverse criticism, not
only upon himself, but also upon Har
vard university for permitting him
to express his opinions without re
strain . outside university circles.
Short’y after the beginning of the
European war Professor Munsterberg
tendered his resignation, but it was
refused. Recently the president and
fellows were petitioned by a number
of prominent Boston people to de
mand his resignation, and again the
corporation refused to interfere in
any way with his freedom of speech
and writing.
He was a native of Danzig, Ger
many and received his education at
the Danzig gymnasium and the uni
versities of Leipzig and Heidelberg.
He became professor of psychology
and director of the physiological lab
oratory at Harvord university in 1892.
He was exchange professor from Har
vard to the University of Berlin in
1910-11, and in the same year became
organizer and first director of Ameri
ka-Institut of the German govern
ment. He was a fellow of the Ameri
can Academy of Arts and Sciences.
DEPUTY U. S. MARSHAL
IN BAD AT PETERSBURY
JUNEAU, Jan. 20.—Sensational
charges affecting the United States
marshal’s administration at Peters
burg are said to have been sent to
the department of justice. These
charges arise over the action of Dep
uty-Marshal Kildahl in prosecuting li
quor dealers who refused to support
the democratic territorial divisional
ticket at the November election. Also
charges will be presented to the sen
ate, when it convenes on March 4, al
leging violations of the territorial
election law.
The direct charge against Kildahl
arises over activity during and after
the territorial election. It is alleged
he openly threatened prominent busi
ness mer, of Petersburg, followed after
the election by prosecutions.
Also, it is alleged, his father-in-iaw,
is allowed to conduct his saloon in
open violation of the Sunday closing
law, while other rival liquor dealers
are prosecuted upon the least possiible
excuse.
Word comes from Petersburg that
the town is all torn up over the trou
ble arising directly from the election,
and the political activity of Kildahl is
said to be the cause of it.—Juneau
