WORK HAS STARTED ON
SUMMER TRAIL

That work has been started on the
bridges between Fairbanks and Chit
ina is the word brought in by John
Tug, of the Alaska Road Commits
sion, who came in yesterday on the
Orr stage. The crew is working at
present on a bridge over the upper
glacier stream of the Delta. Later
they plan to put bridge over Jarvis
Creek on the summer trail near Big
Delta. Then a bridge will be placed
over Gun Creek, north of Parsons.
The supplies for the road crews have
all been freighted in from the VAL
DEE end of the trail and are scattered
at different roadhouses along the
way. The appropriation has not been
passed for the work of the coming
year, but in no event will it be over
1925, 900, which is $4,000 less than
the sum allotted last year-Fair-

Chitina bridge has made it impossi-

that shipment would be made. He
was assured that the bridge would be
in repair by the end of the week so
that freight could be taken to the

the Alaska Steamship Company, and
a subsidiary organization, the North

at Seattle, all the directors were re-
elected. The annual report of Presi-

There was added to the surplus
account on December 81 last, $751;
S61.09, which represents the net
profits for 1911, and although S46,-

the preceding year, the figures are
considered satisfactory in view of
the heavy decrease in shipments of
railroad construction material from
Seattle to Cordova due to the COM

company had enjoyed exclusively
during the entire period of the rail-
roads construction. The decrease
