 TENDENCY CONTINUES

NEW YORK. April 12.-rhe upward tendency of railroad and industrial stock continued today. Saturday prov ed to be Che biggest Saturday, in the amount of trading, that the New York Stock Exchange has experienced for six years Among the heavy sellers were British holders of American se- curiues. and as result exchange showed slightly firmer price.

contraet sytem ro prevaII.

WASHINGTON. April 12.-secre- tary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane in giving out the decision of Presi dent Woodrow Wilson In the case of the Alaska railroad. said that work win begin on the road ot once The work win be performed under the sys tenn Of letting individual contracts GOV ering separate units of the work
 The statement ol 1he Interior De pertinent says Chat the work decided upon consists of 2I4 miles of standard gauge railroad and the route adopted is that which is known as the susitna route The road is going to be built with it's present base of construction at Ship Creek. The first work will be to construct wharf at Ship Creek and to dredge out the harbor there so that more adequate channel will be available for large vessels to enter.
 Forty Miles To Be Constructed
 It is stated that probably not more than 40 miles of railroad will be con- structed this year
 The commission itself will employ only a small staff. chiefly engineers, and supervisors of construction. The other men employed will be by the in- diyidual contractors. However. the government will take means to guard the sanitary and health conditions in the working camps.
 The road will take in the present Alaska Northern road from Seward to Kern Creek. thence around Turnagain arm to the Susitna river up that stream and through Broad Pass to the headwaters Of the Nenana and down that stream into the Panama valley and Fairbanks. This Is roughly speaking. following the line of the extension survey Of the Alaska North ern railroad
 May Build To kuskokwim
 While it has not been decided upon it is believed likely that the govern ment plan will eventually be to run a branch of the government railroad from the main line from some point along the susitna river to the Kusko- lswim river. It is said that the SS,- 100000 of the Congressional approp- riation that Is in excess of the amount estimated as the cost of the main line from the coast to Fairbanks would be ample for this branch. It is said by those who are close to the commission that the remainder of the appropriation would be ample to con struct road that would place the Kuskokwim in touch with the railroad system, and thus open up another vast section to settlement and use. Those who believe that this will be the plan of the government base their conten- tion on Che theory that the govern ment will keep out of the territory that is contributor yto the Copper Riy- CT and Northwestern railroad unless Congress shall increase the approp- riation and authorize the purchase of that railroad also.
