GASILY PLOT
There hag been, something mys
terious about a certain bunch of
Elkg lately, and on Mondays, and
Wednesdays, and Fridays and even
Sunday afternoons, certain, mem
bers cf the Skagway lodge ducked
out of sight and could rot be
found.
Herlocfc Shome3 got on, their tracli
however, and tracing their thumb
marks againBt fenx;e posts( and the
sides of buildings finally unearthed,
the cause of thia mystery. Mr.
Shames, th© greatest dyspeptic on,
earth, discovered that they went
ln^o the back of the EJkg hall, and!
Stealthily stealing to a point of
•vantage, he plastered his acute
•ear uip, against the rear of the
building and there learned the
trulh. These men were even then,
actually engaged in rehearsing
songs and joikes, and instrumental
p'eces on various instruments. De

RAILROAD WORK
MSI GET II
SElJffl
Washington, April 18. — Seven
million dollars is tha Amount the
Alaskan engineering commsieion Is
asking of congress lhia year to
carry out the years' progrsto' of
construction of this government's
Alaska railway. Nearly $26,000,*
000 has been received by appropria
tion in the past of the $35,00,0,000
authorized for the work. It Is aP
parent that next year," provided the
$7,000,000 now asked is received
and expended, it will be necessary
xo ask an appropriation) beyond the
original $35,000,000 authorization,
•for only $2,000,000 of that will re
main, and the road is only; si little
more than half completed, highl
costs having operated in this Work
as elsewhere. , *
Representative Fitzgerald, of New
York, who, as chairman) of tha
house committee ou appropriations,
virtually pledged his committee to
see the raih-oad work trough. Is
out of congress and Representative
Sherley, of Kentucky, who Is bound
by no pledge, Is chairman la hla
place. Mr. Sherley is struggling
hard to keep down appropriations.
The Alaska railroad's $7,000,000
•for this year is proposed as an ite®
in the sundry civil bill, the great
measure that carries money for pub
lic works and routine; activities of
the government. Mr. Sherley*®
committee has ju6t begun, the
preparation of that measure and
will not have it ready for the house
at least until the end of this month,
perhaps later. To permit his
early departure for Alaska, Chair
man TV. C. Edes, of the Alaskan,
engineering commission, has been
before the committee already ar
cruing for thv money.
Observers of congress sense in
the situation a poseilibe d&ngeri to
the Alaska railroad. It is possible
that some economist, staggered by
the magnitude of proposed! appro
priations, will propose, ln commit
tee or on the floor, that work on
the railroad cease u.njtil the end of
the war. Unless the true relation
that the railroad beam to the de
velopment of the resources of Al
aska is understood by! <x>ngr©sa such
a plea might well receive support.
Chairman Sherley has exhibited DO*
thing but a friendly spirit to
ward the railroad work, but th«
possible danger is in those members
not so familiar with the work as
| he. Secretary Lane is alive to the
'situation and is doing all possible
1 to prevent attack om the rail
road item. j ,
