R. R. Construction During 1916

In the spring of 1916 active work on the rebuilding of the Alaska Northern Railway was continued. The work consists of rebuilding bridges, elimination of high trestles by fills, improvement in the alignment and some slight reduction in the grades. Seventy-fve thousand new ties have heen laid and it is contemplated that before the work of rejuvenation is finally completed to mile Fl, over 100000 ties will have been laid. A machine shop has been built at Sew ard to replace the one burned during the summer of 1915, and repairs are now being made in that shop.
 The construction work from An chorage under Mr. Mears is proceed ing as rapidly as funds will permit. The work is divided into four separate districts, all of which report to the head office at Anchorage. These are:
 The Terminal District at Anchor age, which has charge of the laying of all new track, the ballasting and maintenance of the constructed line, as well as the operation of trains and the construction and maintenance of terminal facilities at Anchorage, such as machine shops, round houses, wa ter supply, material yards, electric light and telephone, employees quarters and office buildings;
 The Matanuska District, with head quarters at Matanuska, which has charge of the construction of the line from Matanuska to Chickaloon on the Matanuska Branch (3S miles) and from Matanuska, Mile 14S, to Sheep creek, Mile 200, on the main line;
 The Turnagain Arm District, with headquarters at Potter Creek, which has charge of construction from An. chorage, Mile IA, south to Glacier

MANY DEPART FOR T0LSTOI AND PLANS ARE FORMED
 FOR MUCH PROSPECTING

Iditarod Pioneer, Nov. IS: - The heavy fall of snow in the early part of the present week, with its promise of splendid trails when it becomes packed, has started the expected movement toward the Tolstoi district, and as the mining season comes to a close in the Iditarod district with the closing down of the dredges, it may be expected that the travel to and from the new district will be lively.
 Nearly all of the prOspectors who went to the Tolstoi district last spring were men of limited means, who took in small outfits and after stalking claims and doing location and assessment work returned to Iditarod to spend the summer in another grub stake. Most of these will return, and during the coming winter it is more than likely that it will be demon strated whether or not a populous and thriving community will be built up, or whether it will be one of the numerous camps which furnish luc- crative employment to a limited humber of men each season.

EMBARGO NARROWLY AVERTED

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-A vote on the resolution introduced yester- day to authorize the president to put an emba rgo on war munitions, came very near being carried. The vote was merely a test vote, and there are many who believe that when the final vote is taken it will easily carry.
 A petition to place an embargo on the amunitions bearing, at least a million names was presented to the house of representatives and started a lively debate that was kept up for some little time, but was finally laid on the table to be taken up later.

CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.--One of the boy bandits who robbed the Wash ingtom Park National Bank reported yesterday, was captured last even ing and most of the plunder was recovered.
