The Last Thing It
 Did Was To Run

There is 2 certain young lady in Fairbanks who Is now leaning the art of driving an automobile. And she has learned real we'll consid- ering the fact that she is new beginner, but she has learned that car does not run as well in mud to the axles with the differential dragging and a ten-inch stump in front of each rear wheel as it does on broad, macadamized road.
 This young lady was out driving yesterday afternoon. She and that other person" had started out the Ester trail. They motored out past Moves mill The road was muddy They decided to come back. There was mud to the right of them and mud to the left of them. but they thought that they could make the turn around. She wanted him to take the wheel. He wouldn't do 1t. So she tried But the machine refused to do her bidding, and as a result the front wheels of the auto are in the ditch, covered by three ieet of mud, while the rear ones ire hard up against their respective stumps.
 Knowing the uselessness of at tempting to extricate the machine without heln "he" told her that they'd better "hoof it" to town. She vas in favor of staying and digging the machine out, making the remark that she'd rather stay there and dig all afternoon than to have to admit that she had put the auto in the ditch. But his wiser council prevailed, and they came in on foot, leaving the machine to wait
 There is only one runabout in operation on Garden Island at the present time. And at the time the young coupl ein question went mo toring, connections had not been es- tablshed with Fairbanks by bridge.

HOW MUCH ROAD WILL 300 TONS
 OF RAILS BUILD?
ENOUGH RAILS ARE COMING TO BUILD TWO MILES OR
 MORE OF TRACK.

Since the newspaper dispatch was tract let in Seattle by Thomas Riggs, Jr., of the Alaskan Engineering com mission for the transportation of , 900 tons of freight from St Michael to Nenana, there has been consider able talk about how much track the 300 tons of rails included in the transportation contract will build And but very few people seemed to be able to figure the matter out, owing to ignorance of the length and weight of an average railroad rail. Nor is it known whether or not the average" railroad equip ment is that which has been de, cided upon by the Alaskan Engin- eering commission for the Alaska railroad.
 Charles w. Joynt, probably the best informed man In Fairbanks concerning things generally pertain ing to railroad construction work, the average length of railroad rails is 30 feet. He also stated that the weight of the standard railroad rail is 90 pounds to the linear yard. He further stated also that some rail roads in the United States use rails weighing no pounds to the yard and that others use rails weighing as low as 60 pounds to the yard. the standard weight of many years ago having been from 56 to 60 pounds.
 But the rail which weighs 70 pounds to the yard Is generally used on railroads in the United States listed as first class. accord ing to MT Joynt. Therefore it is only natural to presume that that weight of rail will be used in the con struction of the Alaska railroad, as there will probably never be traf- fic which would necessitate the use of 9O-pound Or 110-pound rails.
 Therefore a little figuring shows these facts, computed upon the TO- pound rail, 30 feet, or ten yards, in length: If one rail weighs TOO pounds there are S57 and a fraction rails In 300 tons, or 600,00O pounds of freight. And that number of rails 30 feet In length will stretch dis tance of 25710 feet or 486 miles. Which means that the 300 tons of rails now reported as coming north will build slightly more than 243 miles of railroad.
