Government Railroad
in Alaska Will Not Be
Completed Before 1921

Seward Alaska, November 2s,-The gov
eminent railroad between Seward and
Fairbanks will not be completed before
1920 or 1921, instead of 1918 as has been
previously announced, according to a
statement made public today by Capt.
Frederick Mears, member of the Alaska
railway commission. 1t also stated that
the part of the system along Turnagain
Arm between Seward and Anchorage,
would not be ready for operation until
1918 instead of by November, 1917, as orig
inally planned.
Captain Mears said that construction
work had been heavier and slower than
expected, and that supplies had been more
difficult to obtain than contemplated. In
stead of 1000 men at work on the Turna-
gain Arm division as planned by the en-
cheering commission, he said there We're
less than 1000.

beautiful body lie cold in death beside the
tiny golden incubator in the sunken gar

dead night.
