ALASKA Miners
Want RAILROAD

SEWARD, Alaska.-Miners of the
Iditarod district and the lower Yu-
kon, Inoko and Kuskokwim districts
are heading movement to have work
begin at once on the branch line of
the government railroad system in
Alaska, which has been projected from
Susitna valley northwestward into the
lower Yukon valley Preliminary sur
veys were made three years ago by
]. L. Mcpherson Of Seattle at the re-
quest of the Alaskan engineering
commission.
The miners point out that within
the last few years new placer camps
have been established at Marshal City,
the Tolstoi and at points along the
Kuskokwim, and that mineral depos-
its hardly have been scratched owing
to the high cost of transportation.
Freight rates from Seattle to the Idi-
tarod, via Boring see and river boats,
run from 800 per ton for general mer
chandise to nearly twice that much
for explosives. .>..
Placer ground of ordinary richness
cannot be touched, it is said, unless
the yield is sufficient to offset this
high freight rate A railroad from the
Seward Fairbanks line to this district
would enable the miners to bring in
cheap fuel from the Matanuska coal
fields and also insure a greatly re-
duced freight rate via rail from here.
Engineering officials here realize
the value of the Iditarod line. as a
part of the system and it is possible
that its construction may be consid-
cred after the main line is connected
up along Turnagain arm. .@
With the shutting down of work
north of Anchorage additional con-
tracts have been let along the arm
and there are now about 1G00 men at
work on this section which includes
the heaviest construction on the en-
tire line.

THREALTY And
BUILDING TRADE
FEEL WAR TALK

So far this month hardly foot OF
land has been sold by the real estate
men in Honolulu due, it is said, to the
severance of diplomatic relations be-
tween the United States and Germany
and the possibility Of the two coun-
tries declaring war In January sales
Of land were well above the average
for that month, some of the real es-
tate departments of the trust COM
panies announcing sales totaling well
ever $4,000. With the opening of
February, however, and the rupture
between the two nations it has be-
come almost impossible to interest
people in real estate.
The architects are also affected to
some extent by the same cause and
with few people wanting plans drawn
for homes and business blocks, their
principal work is now inspecting the
work already under way
Ripley e Davis has now four pub
lie buildings under construction. A
nurses dormitory of the Children's
hospital is now practically completed.
All that remains to be put in are the
steel window frames and doors which
have been shipped by the mainland
firm but because of traffic congestion
have not been delivered here When
they arrive it will be but short time
before the building will be ready for
occupancy. ta< .-."
The excavation for the Love bakery,
started two weeks ago, is now COM
pleted and the foundation and walls
are being erected. Because the three
big ovens which are to be installed are
extremely heavy the foundation has to
be of special construction
Work of enlarging Ehlers store is
progressing slowly because business
cannot be discontinued. As a result
all of the excavation has to be done
by hand, il being dangerous to use
dynamite. The excavation for the adj
dition in the rear has been com
pleted and next week the forms will
be erected for the concrete rear wall.

gain IS SCORED
IN STOCK MARKET
PRICES in week

While there came a reaction in the
local stock market Friday there being
some losses scored for the day on the
list, prices of listed securities have
generally improved since last Satur-
appearance Of the possibility of war
having been discounted pretty well so
far as local investors are concerned
The week opened with the market a
little unsteady and then came sharp
advances in the face of news that
could not make the public over SAN
guine of continuance of the present
status quo and really indicated a
widening of the breach with America
and the Central Powers.
While several OF the stocks have
been higher than were Friday prices
it appears that even with the reaction
of that day six have scored gains and
three losses. the others being either
inactive or not changed in the inter
vening six days Stocks to advance
were Onemea $3.50, Eva $1.63, Olaa

During the week the unlisted stocks
did not show much strength as did
those on the list Engels Copper was
strongest and rose to s6.75 but fell
back to $6,25 Friday. Montana
