following a presentation of Alas
ka railroad problems to the house
committee on territories by Dele
gate Sutherland the committee vot
ed to unanimously report favorably
an appropriation of four million dol
lars to flnish and operate the Alas
ka railroad for 1921 and 1922. Del
egate Sutherland expressed the opin
ion that the construction of the rail
road will not be complete until 1922
but he did express himself aB be
lieving the railroad would be con
nected from the tidewater to the
Tanana rived and operating by mid
summer of 1921. The important
items in connection with the appro
priations are two bridges. The Tan
ana river bridge i« estimated at a
cost of $1,870,000 and the Nenana
river bridge at $350,000. These two
bridges are now under construction.
Acting Secretary of the Interior
Finney and H. N. Oilman of the Al
aska engineering lommission. ap
peared in support <>f the bill, whlcl'
will be sponsored by Chairman Our
rv of California. Tl.ey said that $4.
000,000 will complete the cost of
construction, equipment, ballasting*
standardizing and bridge constitu
tion remaining at this time. The
railroad will then be complete in
every particular. When the work
is finished the government will have
an investment of $16,000,000 in the
road. There will be 4t!7 miles of
mainline and 72 miles of branches
and spurs. Less than sixtv miles o{
the road remains unfinished Near
ly 4.000 men are employed
Alaska's $65,000 OOn government
railroad will be ready to handle
traffic from Seward to all Northern
Alaska by January 1, said C. .1.
I.incke. associate editor of the An
chorage Dally Time*, who arrived in
Seattle on the steamship Alameda
"This does not moan that the road
will be ready for '.tinting over to
the operating depa."*ment," sa d Mr
Lincke. "But that t>e last spike w P
be driven and that freight and pas
sengers will be transported bv rail,
as has been the policy of t' e Alaska
engineering commission as fast as a
mile of steel is laid Only some 39
miles of trackage remains to he
completed between Seward and
Fairbanks before the last spike is
driven connecting The southern di
vision with the northern section
just north of Broad Pass. At the
rate the crews art laving steel—a
mile a day—it is possible that the
last spike will be driven late in De
cember or early in January.

FAIRBANKS NOTES
The most sensational hanging
ever recorded in Alaska was staged
in the Fairbanks Jail yard yester
day afternoon at 1:29, when Old
Hamilton, Indian murderer from
the lower Yukon river, was executed
for the killing of a native. The
weight of the body, when the trap
was sprung, jerked the Indian's
head from the body, a gruesome
sight that sickened the few specta
tors present at the hanging. The
condemned man was attended by
Father EH, and n.ach of the last
day he was comforted by Mrs. Cal
lahan, the only person in Fairbanks
understanding tribi.1 language.
It is reported from the States that
Abe Stein was found with a lot of
beaver skins soon after his arrival
from Fairbanks. The pells, valued
at about $1,000, v.ere confiscated
by the federal authorities.
A number of be?ver and marten
skins are report -i! lo have l>»en
