TRAIN SERVICE
RESTORED OVER
ALASKA RAILWAY
Suspended 15 Days by Wash
outs—Railroad Is Ready
for Harding Party.
Through train service from Sew
ard to Fairbanks was restored on the
Alaska Railroad last Wednesday af
ter fifteen days of suspension, ac
cording to Chairman C'ol. James G. |
Steese, of the Alaskan Engineering;
Commission, who arrived here last
night on the steamer Alameda. Wash-1
outs and mudslides following an un
precedented stage of high water
took out portions of the main line
track over a section covering 50
miles.
The most serious break was in
the Nenana Canyon district between
Healy and Broad Pass where the
road skirts the canyon several hun
dred feet above the water level
and on benches several thousand feet
below the mountain ridges. Under
cutting of the canyon walls by ice
and water from below the track
and mudslides from above tarried
out several short lengths of tru'k.
High water carried away pile ap
proaches to. and one truss on, the
Nenana river bridge. The road sus
pended through traffic on June 11th.
One train was run from the south
on the first break on June 2Uth,
passengers and mail being trans
ferred around the damaged section.
After that time traffic was stopped
until Wednesday.
Eventually some 10 miles of the
line on the canyon rim will he
lost, said Col. Steese. Some of
this is already being moved hark
to safer location and surveys are
bsing made of new locations back
deeper into the benches. Back of
construction funds, however, make it
impossible for the Commission to un
dertake removal of the entire sec
tion at the present time.
Ready For Visitors
Preparations for handling the Pres
tdential party and Brooklyn Eagle
Tour party are completed, said Col.
Steese. The same railroad accommo
dations will be demanded for both
parties. The tour will come lirst
and be out of the way in plenty of
time for the special train to be
placed in condition and In waiting
for the Presidential party on ar
rival of the transport Henderson at

The train will be made up vir
tually the same as that used by the
Congressional delegation early this
month. It will be composed ot a bag
gage car. one caboose, two business
cars, a coach used aa a smoker, the
three sleepers, Fairbanks, Talkeetnu
and Anchorage, the two observation

commodatlons have been made.:
Crews are working on the highway, I
touching up the rough spots.
The highway is open all the way
to the coast, according to Col. ■
Steese. Thompson Pass was opened
several days ago. the earliest on'
record. It was made possible by
citixens of Valdex, who turned out in !
force with tools and cleared the last
of the snow out of the /oad where |
it crosses the coast range of moun j
tains.
Col. Steese will be here several'
days winding up the business of ttie|

DOES “PETTICOAT GOVERNMENT” RULE?
Sir William Watson, noted English poc'„ lias asserted that
America is a nation of "womon worshippers," that the United
States is ruled by a "pet.1lcoat government,” and that American
women wore primarily rcepomibl ■ for the eighteenth amendment
and subsequent morc-or-lo. s prohtbilion. Mies Lucy Branham, Car

she said, is "male-ridden,” and wmini haven't the least share "of

SCOUTS SELECT
CAMP SITE FOR
MOUNTAINEERS
Glacier Bay Will Be Recom
mended—Scouting Party
Returns to Juneau.
As a result of a two weeks’ scout
ing expedition to Lituya and Glacier
Pays made by representatives of the
Mountaineers, of Seattle, tt is vir
tually assured that the organization
will establish a summer camp at
Glacier Hay for explorations near
Mt. Fairweather next summer, ac
cording to Forest Service officials.
The scouting party consisted of Ed
ward Allen and Irving Clark, vice
president and secretary, respective
ly, of the Mountaineers, and Wil
liam Playther, mountain climbing ex
pert and guide from Rainier National
i Park.
The party left here two weeks ago
Ion the Forestry boat Tahn, accotn
i panted hy District Forester Charles
II. Flory, and Asst. Dtstrli t Forest
er B. F. Heintzelman. It returned
last night. Five days were spent
in both the I.ituya and Glacier Hay
districts. The scouts will recommend
the latter as a site for the proposed
summer encampment, said Mr. Heint
zelman, and it is virtually assured
that the expedition will be made next
summer.
Leave in July
The Mountaineers will probably
go into camp early in July, it was
stated. The expedition will number
approximately 100 persons. In the
personnel will be many scientists,
geologists, botanists, ornithologists,
and others, who will make extensive
studies of the district. Expert moun
tain climbers will be included who
will attempt the ascent of Mt. Fair
weather.
Lituya Bay. said Mr. Heintzel
man, Is probably one of the finest
scenic districts in Alaska. It has
fine, extensive sand beaches, miles
of wild strawberry fields, rugged
mountains, many bird rookeries
where gulls, sea pldgeons, sea par
rots, cormorants and other species
breed. Between the coast and the
mountains are stands of fine spruce
timber, somewhat smaller in size
than the trees in the Tongass Forest
but of excellent sawtimber quality.
It Is probable that the scouts Would
have selected a camp site In this
bay but the ruggedness of the moun
tains made it undesirable for so
large a ramp as is contemplated.
Scouts Go South
The members of the scouting party
Mr. Clark and Mr. I’layter, left this
morning on the Princes# Alice for

| Are you fair
1 to your watch?
An automobile needs frequent
“ attention. What about your
watch—a mechanism infinite
ly more delicate?
CARBON in the motor of I
car will decrease the running
efficiency of that car. And
yet the carbon will accumulata.
The car owner, knowing this, has
his car frequently overhauled—
and the carbon removed.
And yet this same man, per*
haps, will allow his watch, a
mechanism infinitely more deli
cate, to run for years without
attention. All the while it is ac
cumulating dust—for tiny dirt
particles will sift in through the
most tightly fitting case-and this
will in time impede the timekeep
ing performance of the watch.
Your automobile performs oc
casional service, but your watch
has to run continously for a full
twenty-four hours each day.
Look at your watch. How long
has it been since you took it to
a jeweler for examination?
If your watch is to ran at ft*
highest efficiency, it should ba
cleaned, oiled and adjusted at
least once a year—before the last
particle of oil has disappeared
from the bearings.
Our Service Department is
well equipped to make any re
pairs and adjustments that may
Be necessary.
