LONDON. ENGLISH COAST
 TOWNS AND PARIS RAIDED
TO LET SUN STRIKE THE
 ALASKA NORTHERN TRACK. Wide Clearing to be Done but Doubt full in any Ballasting, ect., can
 be Done this Year

The right of way along the Alaska Northern track near the city is being cleared for a hundred feet, fifty feet on each side, for the purpose of let ting the sun strike the grade and get rid of the snow more quickly in spring. Henry Richards started in to- day as foreman with a gang of men making the clearing. It is thought possible that by the time the ties are cut so much frost will have come that ballasting and other work on the grade will have to be postponed until spring but there is "quite lot" of work to do elsewhere, no doubt.
