Glaciers, which last winter re

no serious trouble this winter, ac
cording to F. A. Hansen, engineer
of Maintenance of Way, who spent

branch between Matanuska. and
Chlckaloon.
"Only one small glacier has ap
peared this winter on the branch

tween Mile 32 and Mile 33, and
does not amount to much. Between
Palmer and Moose, on the branch
where last winter five men were
emloyed continuously to keep the
track, free of glaciers, the French

there is not a sign of glacier.
