jjear oirs:
Enclosed find check for $44.50 for balance due on mv new “Silent Smith.”
I am well pleased with the machine. Find it to be just what you represented and better
than that, I have learned to like it and find it faster than the Underwood. I gave it a very good
test during the election. Took seventy-seven bulletins and all commercial work besides. I
will always have a good word for the L. C. Smith hereafter. Very respectfully,
F. W. S.

TURNAGAIN ARM DISTRICT.
Clearing Right-of-Way.
Clearing is completed between An
chorage and a point one-half mile
north of Indian creek, a distance of
26V2 miles. About 114 miles of the
heavy clearing between one mile north
of Glacier creek and Indian creek have
been completed.
Grading.
On account of the extreme cold
weather the steam shovel at Big Rab
bit creek made only fair progress dur
ing tfie week. The contract of M.
Beckstrom & Co. was cancelled. The
other eighteen contractors who signed
contracts last week have their winter
quarters practically complete and will
start grading on Monday.
The following contracts were let
during the week:
Geo. Hrjak & Co., Chas. Anderson
& Co., A. Moen & Co., Frank Daniels
& Co., Bernard Nelson & Co., E. Carl
son & Co., Fred Carlson & Co., Joseph
Johnson & Co.
Miscellaneous.
Camps 94, 96 and 98 are practically
completed; camp 91 about 50 per cent.
The-field hospital at Sheep creek is
about 90 per cent complete and the of
fice building at Potter creek 60 pel
cent.
MATANUSKA DISTRICT.
Branch Line.
On the Matanuska branch the camp
at Kings river, Mile 24, is now nearly
complete; that at Mile 27 about 75
per cent.
Resident Engineer F. T. Young has
established his headquarters at Camp 1
27 and is now engaged in retracing
the located line.
Contracts are being let on Resi-,
dency E to Chedin & Co., Henry Han
son & Co., Fred Johnson & Co., Jan
kow & Co., Kargin & Co., Pete Iver
son & Co. and Mike Divyak & Co. All
the above contractors are being moved j
to their stations and as soon as they;
have established their camps will start
construction work.
On Residency F, the placing of con
tractors on their stations is slower be
cause the means of transportation is
limited to pack trains and light dou- j
ble-enders, over old Chickaloon trail.
It will be impossible to commence this i
work in earnest until the river is froz
en and freight can be hauled over the
ice. With the present cold weather
thi? should be possible within a very
short time. Even under prevailing
conditions five small contracting gangs
are at their stations building then
quarters and a Commission force is
constructing a camp at Mile 36, the
latter being now about 75 per cent
complete.
A number of road house men and
others have been granted permits and
are prepared to conduct small busi
nesses at Kings river, and a consider
able number of people are making
their temporary residence in this dis
trict, awaiting developments in the
Chickaloon coal fields.
At Moose Creek the O’Reilly-Do
herty coal mine is producing about 60
tons of coal per day, and the proprie
tors hope to increase their output £o
80 tons within ten days. At present
the product is not being screened but
arrangements are now being made to
do so.
Supplies and equipment are being
spotted at Eska creek for the Milo
Kelly coal property on Eska creek,
and operations will commence at this
mine shortly.
Main Line.
Work on the main line is rapidly
nearing completion as far north as the
Little Susitna river. There now re
main but eight uncompleted contracts
and the last of these will probably be
completed by Christmas.
A pile driver crew is driving bridge
No. 24, across Wassilla creek, and
after this is done the outtit will be
moved to Cottonwood crossing.
North of the Little Susitna a win
ter camp is being biult at Mile 180,
and work on another winter camp at
Willow creek, Mile 186, will be begun
shortly. As soon as these camps are
finished the freighting of supplies will
commence. Another fall of snow is!
needed, however, to put the roads in
good condition for sleighing.
Prospective right-of-way contract
ors are advised that the contract for
clearing between Willow creek and
Kashwitna river is not ready to be let
at present. At the proper time bids
will be advertised for, and sufficient
time allowed contractors to inspect the
work.
It is suggested by District Engineer
Breck that prospective bidders await
the publication of the notice before
making the trip out to Matanyska.
Matanuska Townsite.
i
The cottages for married employees
have been completed and one family
has already moved in.The other houses
will be occupied within a few days.
With the exception of two days, the
water supply was maintained during
the cold weather, and it is expected
no further interruption will be experi
enced during the winter.

Have You Had This Letter?
If a business man wrote to you on a scrap of paper and
never used a letter head, you would conclude he wasn’t
much of a success—wouldn’t you? A man who does not
use modern business methods cannot possibly compete with
the man who does. A man who pays all his bills by cash
and never by check does not impress people with being a
successful man.
If you pay your bills by checks on your Bank Account here
you are writing upon the Letter Head of Success.
Our books now show nearly 1500 accounts. Is your name there?
