FOR ALASKA R. R, TO
 BE SENT NORTH
Machinery and Apparatus Used on the Panama Canal Pressed into
 Service.
STATEMENT BY EDES

SEATTLE, Nov. 12. - Another big shipment of equipment used in the construction of the Panama Canal will be sent from Balboa to Anchorage, Cook Inlet and placed at the disposal of the army of men building the government railroad in the North, according to W. c. Edes, chairman of the Alaska Engineer ing Commission, who arrived in See attle last night from Seward aboard the Pacific Steamship Company's lin- CT Admiral Watson, says the Seattle Times.
 As soon as vessels are available four locomotives, two steam shoyels, about fifty flat cars and other equipment which was used in dig ging the big waterway, will be shipped to Anchorage. Panama Canal equipment valued at $25O,000 and consisting of two steam shovels, four locomotives and a miscellan- eous variety of cars, is now being used in the building of the. gov ernment railroad in Alaska.
 Edes said that an effort will be made to charter steamships carry ing supplies from San Francisco to the canal zone and which have no cargo booked for the return voyage. He explained that the army trans ports are not suitable for handling thi3 class of cargo.
 "We are planning to make some alterations to the United States army transport Crook which will make her a more desirable vessel for the commission" said Edes. eve expect to enlarge her hatches and equip her with new winches SO that she will be better able to handle shipments Of supplies for the railroad. The vessel will be laid up as soon as she reaches Se- attle from Anchorage and the work will then be done" .
 Progress to Be Rapid
 or the $35, 5,000,000 appropriated by Congress for the building of the railroad, $1l ,2470OO has been spent or will be spent by the end of the current year. However, according to Edes, the most expensive part of the work has been accomplished and much better progress will be made during the next year.
 "A great deal of money has been spent for building equipment, sup plies and homes for employees, said Edes and now more of the money will go directly into the building Of the railroad. We did not even have a shovel when we started to build the road and all of the equipment had to be purchased.
 "We now have q large amount of equipment in the North, vessels for transporting supplies about eighty miles of 7O-pound rail not used, ties, bridge lumber and supplies, and next year the work of building the railroad will be carried on rapidly. The line will probably be connected up from Seward to Fairbanks by the fall of 1919"

Can Voters Re-Register =?

Attorney L. B. Whitney has filed
a mandamus suit in the Superior
Court at Tom bstone for James A.
Chapman against County Recorder
Owen e. Murphy to compel the
latter to cancel Chapman's regis
tration and to allow him to re-
register. This is friendly suit
brought to determine perplexing
question.
The petition states that on May
9th Chapman registered without
giving any party afiliatioa, but
now desires to be regarded as
Democrat and vote as such in the
coming primaries. 1t is expected
that Judge Lockwood will render
a decision within the next few
days. ...4:. q
This question has come up all
over the state, and most of the
County Recorders have stood pat
and refused to make any changes,
but in a few counties the recorders
have interpreted the law to the
effect that a man can re-register
and thus change his party afilli-
ations.

If when you do kind act you
should fatally wait for the graft
tude, you might thereby miss the
opportunity of doing another, and
failing to get what you have fool
ishly desired, loose all the joy of
life; or having got it, lose the
other chance of being satisfied
Best keep on trying then. What
is done for others you have done
twice for yourself, for what is
your aim and object other than
happiness, which never follows
selfshness or greed.
A piano Is never foolish pos
session.
Every time you spend a dollar
put it where you can get Vote
coupon, and then turn it over to
your chosen candidate. You won't
be the only one doing this, and
how do you know but what your
little help will turn the trick and
put the prize where you want it !?
You people who get out of your
selves once in awhile and do some-
thing for somebody else are begin.
ming to learn the true secret of a
happy life, and once you get in
this way of doing you will keep it
up forever-you will begin to see
that the millennium is no unattain.
