Begin Work at Once

The work on the railroad is to begin at once Lieutenant Mears Is already on his way to Alaska. Chairman Edes and MT. Riggs will soon follow The first work will be the building of wharf at Ship Creek and the dredging of q more adequate channel. From this point the railroad will be constructed north . ward to the Matanuska field. The prob ability is that not more than 40 miles of road can be constructed this year, owing to the fact that our appropria- tion is but $2,000.000. We have some thing over $500,000 remaining from the s1.000,000 last year authorized. and this will be used as the first payment ort the Alaska Northern railroad. The work will be done in large part by tation- men. who will make direct contracts with the commission for building dis tinct units of the road. This method has been recommended to the President by some of the most prominent railroad constructors and is adopted very gen erally in railroad construction in the west"
 Secretary Lanes stateemnt says:
