WEEKLY PROGRESS REPORTS.
Anchorage Division.
Following are the progress reports of the various de- j
partments of Anchorage Division for the week ending
March 1", 1917:
MATANUSKA DISTRICT.
Matanuska Branch.
The winter road over the ice on the Matanuska Rive>
i9 still open to travel, but is likely to break up at any time.
A small gang is at work constructing a wagon roa<t
from Hole-in-the-Wall to Camp 32, and when this is com
pleted continuous wagon communication will be had be
tween Kings River and Camp 32, by using a short stretch
of the grade opposite the Hole-in-theVVall bluffs.
Scheain & Co. fired their big shot on March 17, bringing
down approximately 17,000 yards of material with 20,370
pounds of powder.
Main Line.
The freighting of construction material and equipment
for the Main Line has been practically completed, and the
teams are now engaged in finishing the hauling of bridge
decking timbers and in distributing ties along the grade
between Matanuska and the Little Susitna River.
Two contracting gangs have been placed on work north
of the Little Susitna and others will be placed in that sec
tion in the near future. Until conditions permit active
construction along the right-of-way, these contractors will
be used on force account wagon road work north of the
' Little Susitna.
A break-up of ice in Browne's Lake is expected at any
time, and this contingency may necessitate the building of
a wagon road before the snow disappears.
1 MAINTENANCE OF WAY.
Water Service and Plumbing.
A force continued during the week on the work of
; changing the water lines at Docks Nos. 1 and 2 and the
Marine Ways. The usual amount of repair work was done
about the terminal.
Bridge and Building.
Work was started on the 166-foot extension to Dock
I No. 2. At the close of the week the driving of piling was
well under way.
The construction of outfit cars continued during the
i period.
Eska Creek Coal Spur.
At the close of the week 8800 feet of this spur had been
graded and 6700 feet of track laid. By increasing the force
it is planned to complete the spur by April 8. About 2500
ties have been made for this line by the contractor.
Mechanical Department.
The heavy repairs to engine No. 1 have been completed,
and the engine is now ready for service. Light repairs
were made to engines Nos. 225 and 280. The heavy repairs
to Browning crane No. 1 are 75 per cent complete. Crane
No. 3 and steamshovel No. 1 are undergoing heavy repairs
■ and overhauling. Light repairs were made to the steamer
Omineca, and some work was done in connection with
changing piledriver No. 6 into a derrick car. Two steam
pumps were fitted for use in the track department.
A considerable volume of private shop work was done
during the week.
TURN AGAIN ARM DISTRICT.
Clearing Right-of-Way.
Six and one-half miles of clearing have been completed
between one mile north of Glacier Creek and Indian Creek.
The remaining five and one-half miles between these points
will be cleared more rapidly as the timber is lighter.
Grading.
The new grading camps at Camp 83 are making satis
factory progress.
Andrew Bappas & Co. put off a coyote shot at Station
2411. between Rainbow and McHugh Creeks, which moved
‘>000 cubic yards of rock with 7500 pounds of black pow
der. A number of smaller shots put off during the week
were equally satisfactory.
The Commission force in the cut south of Totter Creek
drove 51 feet of coyote hole and made two pockets during
the period.
Swan Adrian & Co., .-tationmen two miles south of Tot
ter Creek, are experiencing some trouble from gas in their
coyote holes.
Miscellaneous.
The trail is in poor condition due to thawing weather.
Camp 83 is being made ready for an engineering party
which will be placed there. A supply of lumber for the
camp will arrive within a few days. The log mess and
bunk houses are completed, except for the installation of
the -helves and tables and the construction of extra bunks.
Force Report.
There were 909 employees on the District at the close
of the week, classified as follows: Commission force, 175;
stationmen, 620; stationmen laborers, 114.
TELEGRAPH AND TELEPHONE DEPARTMENT.
Telegraph and Telephone.
A permanent metallic circuit connecting the Eska Creek
coal mines with the main line at Eska Creek siding has
been completed.
Wire and instruments for extending the telephone line
from Dead Horse Hill to Indian River are now en route,
and connection with the latter place should be made by
April 15. The wire for this work was salvaged from the
Anchorage Townsite lead on C Street, where it was re
placed by a 100-pair cable.
There are now 97 commercial and 96 Commission tele
phones. besides the toll line instruments, connected to the
local switchboard. There are 165 telephones in service
outside of Anchorage Townsite.
Electric Light and Power.
A small force has been engaged in thawing the plumb
ing and connecting pipes in the temporary office structures
and stables in the terminal yards.
Temporary lighting for construction purposes has been
installed in the cold-storage plant.
Other work was of a miscellaneous character, including
permanent connections of the distribution system and gen
eral maintenance of equipment.
