THE CHAIRMAN
TALKS OF THE
As announced in The Daily Times
yesterday, Wm, C. Edes, chairman of
the Alaskan Engineering Commission,
returned Monday afternoon on the Ad
miral Evans to his Alaska home, in
Anchorage.
Mr. Edes left Washington, D. C.,
April 25th, where he has been since
last November, working in the interest
of the Alaskan Engineering Commis
sion, of which he is the Alaska head.
That Mr. Edes’ work was well and
faithfully accomplished is evidenced
by the material appropriation and the
favorable decision in other matters of
vital importance to the construction
of the government railroad.
Mr. Edes will remain in Anchorage
indefinitely and later in the summer
expects to make the trip to Nenana
and Fairbanks, in addition to numer
ous trips to the work in the vicinity of
Anchorage.
RAILROAD WORK WILL
GO AHEAD AS PLANNED
Mr. Edes stated to a representative
j of The Times yesterday that the rail
road work would go along just as
planned and thut they did not antici
pate retrenchment of any kind. “Nat
urally,” he said, “we will not be able
to accomplish the amount of work ex
pected, at the time the appropriation
; was applied for, on account of the un
forseen rise in prices which has ef
fected all commodities and material.
Especially is this true in railroad con
struction and a dollar will not go so
far now, but the money will be ju
. diciously expended and put to the best
I possible advantage to push the work
to completion. On account of the
shortage of fuel in the North the road
will be pushed to the Nenana coal
, fields as rapidly as possible and we
will probably exert extra efforts in
j the Chickaloon and Matanuska coal
fields. Work toward Seward and on
the main line north to Fairbanks will
continue as planned, as it will in every
department of the Alaskan Engineer
ing Commission.”
WORK TO COMMENCE SOON
ON HARBORS AND DOCKS
Relative to the important local ques
tion of a harbor and docks for An
chorage, Mr. Edes gave out the good
news that active work would start in
this line within the next 30 days and
that the big dredge, from the outside,
should reach Anchorage by that time.
This is merely confirmation of the pre
vious reports which have been issued
by the different officials, high in auth
ority of the Alaskan Engineering
Commission, and in keeping with the
policy of the government for the bet
terment of conditions and fulfillment
of promises given. Mr. Edes said that
the completion of the contemplated
work would adequately handle the lo
cal situation, which is splendid news
to the people of Anchorage, to whom
j the story never grows old, and they
| should appreciate the fact and rest as
; sured that everything is being done by
Mr. Edes and associates to advance
the interests of the people of Anchor
! age and at the same time act within
, their judgment and jurisdiction.
WAR SITUATION,
i In the conversation on general top
i ics Chairman Edes said that’ possibly,
i the people of Alaska do not fully
I
i realize the seriousness of the present
’ war situation and w-hile there was no
i
1 particular evidence of public demon
1
| stration in Washington every p recau -
1 tion had been taken to protect the
| country’s intersts; the statesmen, of
' ficials in power, the big corporations
and the people of the United States
| in general have united in concentrat
ed co-operation and are assisting the
government, even to the minutest de
tail.
Mr. Edes further said that the en
thusiastic display of patriotism I
throughout the country was a thing
to be proud of and that he certainly
was proud to be a part of the govern
ment and felt honored to be able to
say that he could claim allegiance to
a country whose beautiful emblem of
the glorious Stars and Stripes had

CONDITIONS IN ANCHORAGE.
“I see that Anchorage has contin
ued to advance in all lines during my
absence and I am impressed with the
thrifty appearance of Anchorage,
which is the liveliest town I have seen
for some time.”
Chairman Edes stated that his rea
sons for moving his headquarters
were obvious and that he desired to
be nearer the center of activity in
order to go either direction from the
base of supplies and railroad opera
tion.
He said that Mrs. Edes was in Oak
land, Cal., and would make the trip
to Anchorage later in the summer.
He expressed himself as being es
pecially well pleased with the effi
cient manner the government railroad
work has been conducted by Capt. F.
Mears during his absence and that he
was going over the plans for the fu
ture work to which he expects to de
vote his time and energy until the
time comes to drive the golden spike
on the government railroad in which
he has played such an important and
successful part and to the gratitude
and appreciation of the people of
Anchorage.

the Sidney Laurence 1‘hoto Studio.
All visitors to Anchorage are invited
