The Alaskan Engineering Commis- sion Is operating a daily train be- tween Anchorage and Moose creek on the Matanuska branch, and three carloads of coal are being brought to Anchorage daily. This coal is for use of the Commission and also for the supply of the people at Anchorage. Material and supplies for the con- struction of the railroad are being hauled on this train, as well as freight and passengers, to points along the line. The commercial freight and passenger traffic Is paying for the operation of the train, which enables the Government to transport it's construction materials free of charge from Anchorage to it's camps oa the railroad.
 The population of Anchorage. which is the main construction base on the railroad, is between 4,000 and 5000. At Matanuska, the Junction of the Ma tanuska branch with the main line, a townsite was recently surveyed by

At Wassilla, the name of the town where the railroad crosses the Knik- Willow Creek wagon road. several people are gathering. Was silla will be the distributing point for freight and supplies for the Willow Creek mining district. The Govern ment is taking immediate steps to survey small townsites at these phases.
 The railroad north and south from Anchorage passes through and devel- ops a large agricultural country.
 There are now between 500 and 1000 homesteaders along the line of he railroad in this section, and the agricultural land is being rapidly de- veloped. The homesteaders are sup plying a considerable portion of the foodstuffs for the railroad employees

atres. I hae myself been victim of such adventurers. Owing greatly to the Frohman faculty for organization and fair dealing, theatrical affairs were soon conducted on 6 sounded basis. The Frohman word was as good as a bond to any man. This was Charles Frohmans especial pride.
 It has been the custom in certain quarters to eXclaim against MT. Froh- mans "commercialism" in the conduct of his business. This abuse Is quite nonsensical and unfair. The amuse- ment-loving people demand many kinds of entertainment. It can be said of Charles Frohman that he never on any single occasion offered any thing below the standard of cleanll- ness and good manners. and that, on the other hand, he provided his pat rons with the very best plays by the very best dramatists of his time, in :. terperted by the most capable actors procurable. The salaries of players and the royalties of playrights ln- creased by leaps and bounds under his generous direction. for he was ever ready to pay for the best.

 Thus spoke Charles Frohman as he stood with three other passengers, his arms locked in theirs, upon the slant deck of the Lusitania as she sank off the coast of Ireland. At 2.30 P. NJ. May the 7th, 1915, the vessel was tor pedoed by a German submarine. Mir. Frohman could have had no hope to escape. He was probably wounded by the explosion, and one of his legs was permanently disabled from illness. He could not walk without the help of a cane.

and other people in that section of the country. Recently the Alaskan Engineering Commission contracted for GOO tons. or over 13,000 bushels, of potatoes with the Matanuska farmers. Products are being hauled by the farmers to Matanuska and shipped over. the railroad to Anchorage and other points along the line. There is still room for a large number of home steaders in the vicinity of the rail- road, and the Government hopes 70 encourage farmers from the States to come to Alaska and take up home steads in the territory tributary to the railroad in order to develop the agricultural lands so that the country may some day il the near future be self supporting.
 The building of the railroad has also given an impetus to the mining industry, and there is good prospect for considerable traffic for the railroad when it is finally completed.
