Territory. The estimates would con
tinue to he prepared, as is now the

INTERIOR MOST
ACTIVE SO FAR
Progress Unusual Says Got
wals—Due in Some Meas
ure to Fine Weather.
The worn or tne Alaska Roi l Com
mission has been unusually active
this winter and nearly all the winter
work in progress was inspected by
Chi. John C. Uotwals. vice-president
and engineer of the Commisai'.n, he
said today. Colonel Gotwals returned
to .Ms headquarters here on the
Northwestern after a trip of several
weeks .to the Westward and Interior,
cn inspection of road work.
This winter has been tne most
• ctive construction winter season the
Hr ad Commission has ever had and
tie large amount accomplished was
due also In some measure to the won
derfully mild, fine weather Just had.
Colonel Gotwals said.
‘‘Among the most important proj
ects in progress," said Colonel Got
wals, “was the Chatanika River
bridge, which is a 400-foot sibridge
across the Chatanika River. 10 miles
from Chatanika, on the Chatanlika
Clrcle road. It was necessary to
erect the bridge during this winter to
permit prosecution of active sunvner
work on this project next summer.
Inspected Trail
“I inspected the work done on the
Kobi-IvanCshna-McGrath trail and
found that splendid progress has been
I made on this trail during the winter
j The trail has 'been located and cut
! from K obi to Tatlathna village.
: Seme additional location is required

Iron performs a very import

It improves the quality of the
blood, the tissues are better
nourished and all functions are
performed with more vigor.
The combinaton of Beef, Iron
and Wine also promotes appetite
and invigorates and stimulates
the digestion and thus acts as th*.

Interior climate, makes this trail ol

I winter travel to the Kantishna is the
great (factor In keeping this trail
open. The portion of the trail be

has been improved into an excellent

jit is probable that the early develop

Tanana Bridge Completed
“The last rivet on the Tanana
River bridge at Nenana was driven
February 20. This magnificent struc
iture is now carrying trains across
' the Tanana Rliver.
"Work Is also in progress in the
Anchorage district, d-n the erection of
a steer cable suspension bridge across
the upper Cbulitna River, near Hono
lulu, making accessible a promising
quartz mining region to the govern
i ment railroad. Preparations are also
[being made for work 'looking toward
the relief of transportation condi
tions in the Cold Bav oil fields. The
Standard Oil Company is reported
to havo gotten all freight in and
started d-rilHng March 15.
Copper River Work
“In the Copper River valley the
important project across the Miziat
River, near McCarthy, is being
prosecuted very vigorously. This
winter's project involves placing of
five river piers. A .well-built camp
has been established, 300 tons of
freight moved front McCarthy, pile
drivers and derricks set t'ip and a
[ vast amount of round piling pro
| duced. This work is being prosecut
i ed with a very small crew' of care
| fully selected men, amply supplied
with equipment.
“This work is greatly helped by
[the unusual fine Interior climate. It
;Cs unique but true, that excluding
11he cost of delivering .material at Me
[ Carthy, the actual cost of work per
j formed in the Interior of Alaska is

Automobiles In Winter
“Wherever Interior roads a.re brok

autoandbUes can be used as efficient

strange to one not knowing the cli

the Interior, where the lowest winter

required for such mid-winter jitney

“In addition to all the above there
are several winter reconnolssance
being carried out now. One of these
aims toward the location of a trail
from Chatanika to Beaver and an
other toward the improvement of the
Gbaitanika-MiMer House sled road.'*
