The advent of the new government road in Alaska cannot but recall to the memory of many who took part, the happy days on the Copper river construction work.
 Although the Grand Trunk boys are we'll represented on this new gi- gantic undertaking, familiar faces which have not been seen for five or six years are in evidence on all sides on the new Alaska road.
 Apropos' of this, we have Engineers Hansen, Secrest and Spangler with us MT Hansen having been on location of the former road, and the other gen tlemen on construction.
 MT Morton. the commissions genial chief steward, will be remembered as having acted in that capacity for the Katalla company; while around the offices we have Copper river men in Messrs w. l.. Durham, A. G. Balls, c. Mueller and others.
 "Scotty" Park, the commissions S piledriver foreman, was as large as ever on the Copper: Charlie David. the tie contractor was contracting there also. I. c. Bellows, camp foreman for the commission, was commits sary man, and the late Jim English was a much-seen figure as roadmaster

 At Miles glacier the snow was at it's deepest. The tents were boarded up on the outside in winter and invari. ably the stove pipes were about all that could be seen of the dwellings.
 When visiting it was a case of go ing down steps cut in the snow to get in at the door. On the other hand, the snow certainly kept the heat in.

Berlin, Dec. 2o.-The impulse Of the

hold this unique convention and read
