z. J. LOuSSac Returns on MaripoSa and Gives His Impressions
 of Westward.
RAILROAD WORK RUSHED
Line Now Completed to AS MiIeS-FarmS in
 Section Selling
 Their Truck.

z. J. Loussac, owner of the Ju. neau Drug Company. who has been at Anchorage for the past several months. returned from there this morning on the Mariposa Mir. Lous- sac says Anchorage is fine town, but that he is glad to get back among the boys of Juneau.
 Anchorage is alright" he said to- day. There are about 5000 peo- pie in the town itself not counting those engaged in railroad work on the outside Business is good but do not think Anchorage will ever be as good a town as Juneau.
 The railroad is now completed for distance of 4S miles out of Anchorage and regular passenger schedule is being maintained be- tween Anchorage and the end of the line. The Commission wanted to run special excursion 10 the end of the line when the Mariposa ar rived in Anchorage this trip. but lack of time prevented.
 The farming section around An chorage is beginning Co show up and railroad camps are well supplied with garden truck and green goods rom the ranches along the line. The railroad would have been com pleted for a much longer distance if the money for the work had been appropriated in time. The work was delayed this spring, but now is be. ing rushed" he said.
 Mir. Loussac intends to remain here for about three weeks before returning to Anchorage to resume the active management of his store there.
