BUILDING BIG
 WATER TANKS ON MATANUSKAE END

Work has been started on the cree ton of a 5O,OO0-gallon steel water tank at MatanuSka.
 The steam shovel at Mile II moved during the week ending May 19 lS,5OO yards of material, 1900 yards of which were hauled to the Granite creek bridge. and l6,5OO yards used in wid- ening the fills between Miles IL and 12. Steam shovel No. 3, at Mile 153 on the main line, moved 642S yards of gravel, which was spread between Stations 526O and 529O,
 Track was laid from Station 5SO7 to Station 1922. Two days were spent by the crew in tracklaying, three in grading and one day on back work.
 About 40 per cent of the piledriving at Kings river was completed.
 Work was begun on the installation of a temporary pumping plant at Was silla to serve the work trains in that vicinity.
 Construction conditions on the branch line continue satisfactory, de spite the shortage of some classes of labor. Excellent progress is being made in connection with the hard rock work near Camp 33, and this excava- tion will be completed in ample time for the tracklaying crew.
 The weather has been favorable all week, and the long days now permit the economical working of night shifts About 30 per cent of the statiOnmen are working two shifts.

MUST AVOID SLANG IN R. R.
 ACQUISITIONS
Circular No. PIT: TO ALL CONCERNED:


 We are experiencing considerable difficulty both in Anchorage and Se- attle from the fact that acquisitions are not being properly prepared. Nee essary references are not shown upon acquisitions whereby repairs can be purchased without having our Seattle office wire the general storekeeper for additional information.
 AS an illustration: If repairs for a No. 4 Buda handcar are wanted, this information should be shown on the reouisition. If it is repairs for cer- tain type engine or boiler that is wanted, the horsepower, shop num- Der, manufacturer name and all in- formation should be shown, so that when the acquisition is received in Seattle they will know exactly from what source these repairs are to be supplied.
 Slang phrases are used in a great many acquisitions for the material which is required, same not being in accordance with the name of part that is carried in the catalogs. If all de- partments will carry out these instruc- tions great deal of time will be saved. r. MEARS, Commissioner.

 With the alteration of certain equip ment in the Turnagain arm district, practically all of the cross-talk on the circuits in that direction has been eliminated.
 A telegraph office has been opened at Birchwood, and Morse set is also being installed at Kings river. Morse sets will be installed at Moose creek and WasSilla as soon as instruments arrive. A free use of these instru- ments will help relieve the overload ed condition of some of the telephone circuits.

comfort on the wild foods the for
est affords. Few Of us would care
to try this nowadays, but at this
time, when the question Of con-
servation is on everyones lips it
is well to consider how plentifully
nature has endowed us that we
should not starve, but, if we will,
live luxuriously.
For instance the trees offer us
an ever variable diet in the
/ beechnut, butternut, walnut,
chestnut and chinquapin, the
kernels Of all Of them being not
only toothsome, but the vegetar-
ians use them all to replace meat.
The oil of the beechnut is said to-
| be little inferior to olive Oil while
the oil Of the butternut and wal
nut was considered luxury
throughout earlier ages.
The Indians mixed chestnuts
with cornmeal and made a bread
which was baked in corn husks,
like tomales, and had far more nu
timent than the present day flour.
Even today Europeans make
bread from the chestnut alone.
Acorns are frequently thought
to be Unfit for human food, but
when ground and leached to take
the tannin out, by a process Of
treating the pulp with hot water,
the resulting -four, which con-
tains considerable starch, makes
excellent porridge, or can be
baked into small cakes that are
by no means unpleasant.
The many berries also that are
in frequent use, and are very ap
petizing and healthful are the
elderberry, the blackberry, or sug
ar berry, the mulberry, and the
fruit Of the shad bush "sarvice"
berry, or June berry.
The French Canadians, who are
very frugal people, and from
whom one may well take some ex-
amples during these times Of high
prices and expensive living use
the acid flowers Of the redbud, or
Judas tree, in salads, while the
buds and tender pods are picked
in vinegar. Honey locust pods,
often called "honey-shucks'' con-
tain a sweetish, thick, cheeselike
pulp, which is often eaten by the
Mexicans, and are said to furnish
a nutritious food.
The CreOles Of Louisiana, fam
Gus for their cookery, are report
ed to use the young buds Of the
sassafras as substitute for okra,
in thickening soups, and we may
well follow some Of the examples
Of these people who have the rep
utation Of living well but cheaply.
