CONTRACT Is LET FOR
 2,500,000 FEET LUMBER

John Enlund, an old-time Alaskan who is well known in Cordova was ir town yesterday on a hurried trip tc the states. John has been to the westward, where he and Peter John. son. formerly of Fairbanks, received a contract from the Alaska Engineering Commission of a million and a half feet of lumber. The lumber will be cut and sawed at Portage Bay.
 It was learned that in addition to the lumber being cut at Portage Bay a schooner load will be shipped to Seward from the outside this month or in July. When the summers cut ting is finished at Portage Bay the mill will be transferred to Talkeetna for winter work. MT. Enlund was unable to say what the government will do with so much lumber and 1t can only be surmised that Seward is soon to have the terminal buildings going up.

The residents of Sand Point have addressed a petition to Governor Strong asking him to use his influ. ence to have a bounty on eagles.

They also claim that in the mating season many young and adult foxes are carried off by the birds.

AGRICULTURAL STATION
 BE LOCATED MATANUsKA

M. D. Snodgrass, agent for the agri. cultural department and manager of the experiment station at Kodiak, has gone to Matanuska to locate the ex- pertinent station which, as was stated by Professor Georgeson, is about to be established in that quarter. MT. Snodgrass will spend three weeks on the ground and will secure horses from the engineering commission to reach the Matanuska and Susitna val leys. He intends to examine the con ditions thoroughly and later give his report. He declares that, without doubt, Kodiak and the neighborhood is good stock country. Lots of cattle and sheep run out all winter on the smaller islands and come out well in spring. He has found a growing interest manifested in the possibilities of the district and is constantly re- ceiving enquiries from outside Two new settlers came to Uyak bay this year and more will follow the railroad activities. One great drawback to the raising of sheep and cattle in the region, Mir. Snodgrass says, Is the depreciation by brown bears. In one night alone they killed two-thirds of all the sheep at the station and they keep killing still.

A telegram from Washington says the announcement by Secretary Frank lin K. Lane that the litigation over the Seward townsite and the fight among the bondholders and the holders of preferred claims against the Alaska Northern would not affect the building of the railroad, caused much surprise, as it was felt certain that the Depart ment of the Interior would not con- tinue work on the Alaska Northern road until the title had been cleared up.
 Alaskans here are certain that but little work will be done on the Alaska Northern this summer and that the secretary has instructed the engi. neering commission to confne its work to the building of a road from Anchorage to the Matanuska.

RAILROAD ] | PE FROM EVERY
 AN GLE

Chairman Edes, of the Alaska En gineerlng Commission, is now to the westward and while no definite state ments are made as to the govern ments railroad plans, some little in, formation is allowed to percolate through the red tape system of ye olden times for the enlightenment of the residents of Alaska who are vitally interested in the construction of Uncle Sam's road Here is what the Seward Gateway was able to glean from Chairman Edes:
 "In answer to a question as to how much work will be done on the Alaska Northern railroad this summer he said he presumed we shall do quite a lot of it. Then thonghtfully he ex- pressed the desire that men seeking employment should be cautioned against coming as, in the first place, the road will not be turned over to the government for few weeks and, in the next place, the appropriation is small at present that the work will be necessarily limited this year. In deed as to how extensive the work will be on this road this year Mir Edes would give no positive opinion. He did say, however, that the Alaska Northern would not be connected up with the new portion of the railroad until next year. Locomotives and other equipment will be shipped from the Panama Canal this year to Seward but he has found that very extensive repairs will have to be made on the wharf here before the heavy equip ment can be unloaded. These loco motives and other equipment will come this fall. He states that he must look into the situation more thoroughly before saying anything of really positive nature That it will be found necessary to erect some buildings for the accommodation of the employees he believes but even on this matter he says nothing definite.

The Valdez Prospector credits MT. Edes with the following interview:
 "The suit which clouds the title of the Alaska Northern railroad came as a surprise to the members of the commission, but we do not anticj. pate it will affect any change in the plans. It is true that the government will demand a clear title but the own CTS will undoubtedly come to some agreement so that the work can be pushed rapidly. The work this sea son will be confined to pushing con struction from Anchorage to the Matanuska coal fields and the port of Anchorage will be used for the shipment of coal for as many months of the year as it is possible to reach that point Seward will be used the balance of the year but as the haul is much less to Anchorage the main shipping terminal will be from that port"
 When asked if the commission would rebuild the Seward railroad MT. Edes said: We will undoubtedly spend some money on the Alaska Northern in order to make the road safe and for use of the commission to take supplies to Kern Creek, but our main work will be from Anchor age to Matanuska"
 When asked for a copy of the re, port made by the commission to
 President Wilson and Secretary Lane and for the reasons for the selection of Seward, MT Edes replied: You will have to secure the report from Secre.
 tary Lane. The commission made fits
 report to the head of the Department of the Interior but we did not recon mend the selection of any terminal, simply giving the advantage and dis advantages of the different routes. "
