The past week has seen very lit

There has been considerable doing

THE STORY OF ALASkAS GREAT RAILWAY
The Copper River & Northwestern Road

I One hundred and thirty-five miles
has been under operation for sever
al months, over which the mails and
passengers have been regularly trans
ported during the present winter
from Cordova to Chitina, returning
from the latter point to Cordova with
southbound traffic for Seattle and the
states. No attention or physical ef-
fort is spared in order to assure their
safe and speedy transmission and \
valient organization of experienced
railway men has determined to prove
that the course of traffic is as GER
tain in the Land of the Midnight
Sun" as is found on any of the trans
continental railways through the
mountains of the Pacific states. The
completion of the construction work
is being fastened and Kennecott will
be reached during the next two
months. This trunk line in time will
undoubtedly be the main body of
lines spreading through all the i'll
portant districts of Alaska.
The motive power is or the best
for purposes of operation and con
struction. 1t was built by the Amer
lean Locomotive Works and includ IS
several consolidation engines of most
modern type, equipped with electric
headlights and used exclusively III
the hauling of the passenger and
mail trains. Two snow rotaries are
in constant readiness to give battle
to the snow and prevent blockades.
proved pattern, the freight cars
ranging from sixty to one hundred
thousand pounds capacity, with
large complement of auxiliary cars
for construction and maintenance.
purposes.
A table-d-hote dining car service
has been recently inaugurated be-
tween Cordova and Chitina, the SER
vice of which is unexcelled on the
standard railways in the states, in
surfing appetizing meals in comfort
at all hours. This feature of railway
operation within 400 miles OF the
Arctic circle is an achievement in
itself and attests to the up-to-date-
ness of the organization of men
who are operating this far northern
railway.
In conclusion it may well be said
that the completion OF this, the now
est Ct American pioneer railways,
will prove to be an epoch in the his
tory of the worlds great transporta-
ton lines. 1t will serve as a great
auxiliary power in the defense OF
our Pacific seaboard in the event
of an American-Asiatic war, and il
means the creation of a great Paci-
fic coaling industry and precious min
eral development for the increased
commercial enrichment and domestic
comfort of the American people of
today and their posterity.

movements in the history of railway
building in frontier country. The
wages for labor alone amounted to
approximately $8,5OO,O0O.
The steel in the four magnificent
bridges erected in the building OF
this railway weighs 10000, 900
pounds at an approximate cost over
all of $2,500,000; the great Miles
Glacier bridge alone cost 81, 100000.
These bridges were practically en-
tirely constructed during the haz-
ards of winter, the last being swung
across the Kuskulana gorge and COM
pleted Christmas day 1910. The con-
struction of the Miles Glacier bridge
is a history in itself. The false work
supporting it's erection was driven
through the frozen river and as tn ?
warmer weather approached in the
spring erection was conducted amid
the continual onslaughts of grind
ing icebergs from the nearby glac-
iers. Through the bitter cold, ter
rife delta winds and the dark grim
midwinter days the bridge men toiled
with Napoleonic effort in a race
against the destructive breakup OF
the ice until finally their efforts were
rewarded with complete success. The
chief engineer has said it was the
most amazing exhibition of loyalty,
spirit and perseverance that he had
witnessed in many years of exncr-
fence.
The road is laid throughout with
seventy-pound steel rails and abun-
dant deposits of glacial gravel was
within easy reach, which has result
ed in a railway unquestionably as
permanent and finely finished in ap-
pearance as any of the Western trans
continental roads.
All told, an army of 5000 men
has been employed at times on the
various works of construction dur
ing the three years of progress and
millions of dollars have been spent
for foodstuffs and personal necessi-
ties alone.

rAFr,s BAD PLIGHT.

The president Of the United States
is indeed in desperate straits when
he has to go into state and plead
with the party leaders to make their
state campaign not on state issues.
but on national issues for the sup
port of his administration. Such was
the embarrassing position in which
President Taft placed himself when
he made his opening speech for his
reelection in Massachusetts the other
day.
If the president is enthusiastically
supported, that support must come
from the benefciaries Of the unjust
tariff laws, which he and he alone
kept on the statute books by the veto
of the bills which would have removed
the most obnoxious of them. If he
cannot get comfort in Massachusetts
he can get it nowhere. No State in
the Union has received as much fnan-
cial benefit as Massachusetts. Massa-
chusetts is normally a high protective
tariff state.
Feeling the sting of criticism from
other sections Of the country because
he threw himself in the breach, and
blocked tariff reform, the president
goes to Massachusetts to plead with
the party leaders to make the issue
in the campaign this fall not on
state questions, but on the tariff
question. It is a humiliating position
for a president Of the United States.
No former president was compelled
to adopt such desperate methods.
Nowhere in his speech did he prom
