ALASKA WORK 1
IS CRIIIGIZED
I i
la the current issue of the Rail
way and Marine News jappears a
lengthy article under the name of
Edmund Ellsworth Sumner, in
which the Alaskan railroad commifc
siou and lack of congressional fore
eight are severely criticized be
cause of the heavy increase in
the cost of construction of the
government territorial project. |
Criticism is directed at congress
for failure to have arranged for
the purchase of steel and other
construction supplies and equipment
at the time the appropriation for
the Droject was made in 1914, at
which time, the writer assert,, the
prices were from 50 to 488 per
cent, less than at the present
time.
Sumner in his article maintains
that practically nil of the materials,
especially steel rails, could havo
been furnL-hde at that time, and
the cost of construction thereby les
sened fully ono-third. The writer
also takes the commission in
charj-e of the work to I task for
ruling whereby the men em
ployed on the various units of the
Alaska railroad receive pay for
eight hours at the prevailing Al
aska rate of ten hours a day. He
recites that such action on their
part was unnecessary, and ha>s
added materially to the cost of the
work.
He then asserts that the govern
ment has added to the high cost of
the Alaska project because of the
chartering of the United States ar
my transport Crook in the transpor
tation of materials and supplies to
the different bases in the North.
On this score the writer asserts
that the government could have
lessened the cost of the project con
siderably by having the required
material shipped north on the regul
ar steamers operating to Alaska,
and that the transport Crook would
have better served the government
in o'.her channel® or have been
chartered for offshore cargoes at
a high rate.
The article also censures the
pnsineering commission for the al
lege J failure ^ the construction
forces to connect up any portion of
the various units of the railway,
the doing of which the writer «*s
str's to be possible, and would
Vive afforded transportation fa
cilities for at least one of the coal
fi'lds tapped by the road duftng
the coming winter.—Seattle P.-I.
XEW RADIO STATION*
IS ABOUT COMPLETED
The United States navy has about(
completed its great radio plant lo
cated at Mile 7 anil Mile 12, oil
the Copper River & Northwestern
railway. The location is in that sec
tion where the railway crosses the
delta J of the Copper river, as it
spreads out to the open ocean,
and while well protected inland,
commands a wide radius leading to
the open sea. With its high power
equipment the new station will be
able to send and receiv§ messages
to all parts of the Pacific.

A Thorough Test
One To Convince the Most Skepti
tical Skagway Header
The test of time is the test that
counRj.
Doan's Kidney Pills have made
their reputation by effective action.
The following case is typical.
Skagway residents should be con
vinced.
The testimony is confirmed—the
proof complete.
Testimony like this cannot be ig
nored.
Mrs. Ellen Watson, 405 E. Thir
tieth St., Tacoma, Wagn., says: "Af
ter an operation and being in the
hospital three months my kidneys
I were weak. My back was lame and
there wag a heavy dull ache across
my loins. My kidneys' sometimes
acted too frequently and lometimes
not often enough and bladder trou
■ ble caused me a great deal of dis
tress. Doan's Kidney Pills relieved
me of all that trouble." (State
ment given November 4, 1915.)
On May 23, 1917 Mr9. Watson
eaid: "I can never say enough in
praise of Doan'g Kidney Pills. They
cured me of kidney complaint and
the cure has lasted."
Price 60c, at all dealres. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy*—
get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same
that Mrs. Watson had. Foster
