Cox. engineer officer oc the navy. and Colin M. Ingersoll. consulting engineer of New York city. This commission had a brief four months for its work. being in structed to repor; back to CongreS Ss the following session. Due to the great work in Alaska of the Geologi- cal Survey, under the direction of pr. Alfred II. Brooks. and the Alas ka Road Commission under tke direc- ion Of Col. Richardson. with the iata of private surveys. this con- mission was able to cover the ground very fully. considering the short .ength of time at its disposal. and submit most complete and credita- ole report. In summing up its report the Commission says:
 The data presented shows that
 
 :hc l.. $. possesses in Alaska a frontier territory of great size and Jf wonderful industrial possibilities The commission believes that it's eli mate is favorable to permanent set clement and to agriculture; that its mineral resources are vast, and yet but little exploited; and that its oopClation is sparse, but only by req. son of it's inadequate transportation facilities; and that its people are of the same type of hardy pioneers hat have carried the Y. s. frontier .o its present limits"
 This commission recommended the construction of railroads in Alaska to the cost of S35,61l, 900. Their re port. with a strong and favorable | recommendation by EX-President Wil jam II.

 The first year of activity by this commission was devoted to surveys. Early in 1915 the President desig- mated the route from Seward to Fairbanks. with a branch line to the Matanuska Coal Field. as the first government railroad to be construct ed. The estimated cost of these lines is about S27.00O,000. which l leaves an available balance of about $S,0OO,OOO for tho construction of other lines not yet designated.
 The work of the commission, in 1915, was in location surveys and the beginning of actual construction, About thirty-four (3D miles of road bed were finished. extending north l from Anchorage, only $2,000.000 be- ing available for the years activi- ties.
 For the year 1916 there is avail. able for construction $2,00O,000 au- thorized by Congress. in the Elmer gcncy Deficiency Bill, and the as. surance of $6,247.OOO more reported in the sundry civil bill. This sum will complete the railroad from Sew. ard and Anchorage to the Matanus- ka Coal Field: construct the main line up the Susitna Valley to the Talkcetna River Crossing, a distance of 232 miles from Seward: and grade q considerable portion of the line be- tween Fairbanks and the Nenana Coal Field. This work will be cen tered and directed from three locali ties: Seward. situate on Resurrec- tion Bay on the south coast of Alaska; Anchorage, at the head of navigation on Cook Inlet: and Fair banks. on the Panama River.
 The Alaskan Engineering Commis- sion estimated that 1t will employ this summer about four thousand men. Probably two thousand spent last winter in Anchorage and Sew. ard. awaiting the opening of work this spring. All the boats leaving Seattle during the spring of 1916 were crowded to capacity. so it is probable that there will not be any shortage of help.
 From Seward, the railroad runs north through the Renal Peninsula to the head of Turnagain Arm. on Cook Inlet. Skirting the north shore of this arm, the road passes up the eastern shores of Knik Arm. on the shore Of which is situate the govern. mcnt town of Anchorage.

The best thing for steady use Is Just

(Which is pure and greaseless), and
Is better than the most expensive

from women whose husbands or sons
are in the guard. The investigating

cases and extend aid in whatever way
