ALASKA RAILROAD AREAS
(Anrhorage, Times.).
The year l9JU will~be-*i» important
one for the Alaska Railroad.belt and
all of those <mns served by the gov
ernment's transportation system.
There wili-be-empteyment for a-great
many workers along the railroad;
there will? bj^ a mining engineer at
tached, to.the railroad . organization
to make, examination of mineral dis
coveries; there will be results from
the colonization campaign inaugur
ated last year; there will be markeu
increase in tourist travel to Alaska
Urring the summer, and there will be
formulated a definite program for the
development of .the reindeer industry
in a way that will bring needed ton
nage to the Alaska Railroad;
Such is the encouraging message
drought ti\ Anchorage by Col. O. F.
Uhlson, general manager of the Alas
ka Railroad, who has returned to his
Anchorage headquarters prepared ta
set his progressive program in mo
tion, prepared with ample funds to
continue his work of improving the
railroad and with the backing of,
W ashington to carry forward the
other work which he has- outlined for.
the year.
JJf particular interest to residents
of' Anchorage district is the an-».i
nouncement that there is nearly, a.
million dollars available for. railroad,
uses during the coming fiscal., year
and that it is the intention of .Colonel;
vrfrtson to do more rehabilitation work
this season than was done last year,
fftere will be 40 miles of ballasting,
40 miles of bank widening, and the
woe kof putting the telegraph and
telephone lines in first-class order
will be completed this year, the sum
of fill,000 being available for that
work.
Colonel Ohlson also reports having
purchased a new rotary snow plow,
the largest built, fro mthe American
Locomotive Works of Dunkirk, New.
York. The rotary will be shipper
North immediately for assembling at
the Anchorage shops.
The work which has been, carried
on during the year, with increased
forceS', resulted from the. extension to
Alaska of President Hoover’s policy
of providing work wherever possible
as a means of relieving the unem
ployment situation, and Colonel Ohl
son is pleased to find, that the. extra
employment thus made possible has
proved very helpful to rajl belt resi
dents, reducing- local unemployment
to a minimum..

The colonization plans are .working
out very satisfactorily,. colonel Ohl
son reports. M. D. Snodgrass, who is
looking after this work an .the States,
has sent in the* names of upward* of

ning to-settle in the railroad belt .this
year, some of them in Matanuska val
ley. Mr. Snodgrass will soon come
north .with a number of the prospect
ive settlers, and., the remainder win
.follow later in the year. The ma
jority of the colonists are from Mon
tana,. North Dakota,. Wyoming, Idaho
and Washington.

J une 7 for Seward. The entire party
wilL come as far. as Anchorage and
some will go thougli to Fairbanks..
Reindeer for Tonnage..
The development of the reindeer
industry, with a view to building up
tonnage foY the railroad, is one o,!
the things ColoneL ~nlson has been
working on during t..e winter, and it
is his plan to erec. agattoirs at Cant- j
