 PLANS 0N ROAD
 BEING CHANGED

Railroad construction work in Al aska presents many more hardships than it does on the Outside, for the reason that a railroad, to be ser viceable, must be suited to all of the prevailing conditions of the coun- try through which it passes. This fact has been recognized by the engineers who are looking after the construction work on the Alaska rail road, and as a consequence 1t is probable that there will be many changes in the original plans of the railroad builders before the railroad is completed between Fairbanks and the coast.
 The changes on this end of the line are made necessary by the fact that glaciers abound in the interior. That is, all of the small streams overflow more or less even in the coldest kind of weather, and the ice piles up to an unbelievable extent in the winter where only the small est kind of stream exists in the summer time. It is therefore neces- sary that, where culverts had been figured on along the line of the rail road, trestles be installed. so as to give the water in the small streams a chance to overflow, instead of putting in culverts, which, if they should freeze up, which is altogether probable, would cause the glaciering of the railroad track in the immedi- ate vicinity of where the road crosses even the smallest streams.
 It is with the view of inspecting these places that Jack Fallon. resi- dent engineer of the commission, Is making a trip to Nenana along the line which will be followed by the railroad. He estimates that there are at least twenty such places; places where the glaciering of the streams to be crossed will necessi- tate the construction of trestlework where nothing but culverts had pre- viously been figured on.
 MT. Fallon has been trying to get away from Fairbanks for the past week, but has been detained by the intensely cold weather. He expects, however. to start for Nenana either today or tomorrow, in company with Hawley Sterling. assistant resident engineer.

PUBL|CANS
 WILL CONTROL
 ALASKA SENATE
Especial to The Citizen)

JUNEAU, Feb. 1.-The now prac- tically complete count of the terri torial canyassing board, which has been engaged in Canvassing the vote of the territory of Alaska, shows that the Republican party will be in control of the next Alaska senate That is, the next senate will be com posed of five Republicans and three Democrats. In the house there will be an even break as far as the old parties are concerned, for seven rep resentatiyes from the ranks of each were elected, according to the off, cial count.
 There will be one independent member of the house and there is still one representative to be voted for. He will be elected at a special election to be held in the First di- vision on March 6, to succeed John c. Held, Republican, who died since he was elected to office.
 The canvassing board had a hard time regarding the race for rep resentative in at least two in stances in the Second and Third divisions. It is generally conceded by the Republicans, however, that when Utica, in the Second division is counted, Corrigan, Democrat will be found to have defeated Reed, Re publican, by a very small majority The final count of the Third divi- sion shows that Murray. Republican. has defeated Holland, Democrat. by eight votes, due to the precincts from Bristol Bay being counted.

HOMES ESTEADERS MAY BE UNABLE
 ID GET TITLES

According to a representative of the land office, many ranchers ill the vicinity of Fairbanks, by neglecting the provisions of the homestead laws, will be unable to acquire titles to their claims when they attempt to prove them up. It was stated that this can be avoided if the claim ants get busy and make the neces- sary improvements and perform the necessary labor in the time which they have remaining. The biggest part of the claims are made of home steads of 320 acres, and if these re- vert back to the government for re- stalking such claim will be made into two homesteads, as under the new law only 1G0 acres can be se- cured.
 In addition to being required to live on the claim specified length of time each calendar year. during the first two years one-siXteenth of the claim must be put under culti- vation. After the second year, one eighth of the entire claim must be cultivated during the remaining years. As five years are allowed in which to prove up for title. it was stated that probably all of the claim ants have sufficient time to get in the necessary amount of work should they desire to do so.
 In view of the fact that many new settlers are expected to come into the country in the near future and that they will obviously be on the lookout for land nearest already set tied communities, those homesteads which have been disallowed on ac- count of noncompliance of the laws will naturally be the first ones to be settled on.
 The land office representatives state that it is not their intention to be unfair nor to work a hardship on anyone, but they have no choice in the matter but to report the facts in each case, and in case of non- compliance of homestead laws the claimant will certainly not be able to get his title.

BENNETT STILL
 UNDER GUARD IN
 LOCAL HOSPITAL

Jack Bennett the man who at tempted to end his own life We'd nesday night at the Vienna lodging house, is still in St Joseph's hos pital and is being closely guarded. Only this fact has prevented him from finishing up his first unsuc- cessful attempt.
 Chief of Police Frank Wiseman stated last night that Bennett had made several attempts to reach the windows of his room at the hos pital in order that he might leap therefrom. Only the restraining force of the guard which was placed over him rendered these attempts fruit less. The guards will not be taken off until the mans suicidal mania has subsided A reliable man will be kept with him day and night.
 In addition to his self,inflicted wound, Bennett has a bad case of delirium trcmens. His system Is run down and shows the effects of a prolonged over indulgence and eX- cessive use of alcohol; this despite the fact that he is lnterdicted and supposed to be unable to obtain any liquor. It is thought that his mania for self-destruction arises from his delirious condition.
 The wound which he gave himself severed a large artery in the neck, but failed to reach the jugular vein, to which fact he owes his life. This injury, while serious on account of the run down condition of the man and the loss of much blood. is not necessarily fatal. He has an excel lent chance to recover if he is kept from doing further damage to him. self.

O|L MEN WILL
 HOLD MEETING

DENVER, Colo, Dec. 18.-Among important matters to be considered at the convention of oil men of the United States next summer will be the question of standardization of tests for crude and and refined oils of all kinds. more particularly how ever, gasoline, benzine and similar oils. It is pointed out that such a standardization is made necessary be- cause of the great confusion that now exists due to the great variety of methods in use in the various states.
 It is said a uniform system has been advocated by oil men for some time, but that no concerted action has ever been taken. It is with this in view that the convention of oil men will be held, according to Jas. Duce, Colorado state oil inspector MT. Duce already has begun making arrangements for the meetings, which will be attended by approximately 600 oil men from all parts of the country.

S36,706.35 PAID
 IN LOCAL TAXES
 IN LAST MONTH

The figures of City Clerk Buckley, as totalled up to 10 o'clock last night, show that of the entire as sessment of little more than S45,O00 actual cash to the amount of $36,706.- 35 had been paid for taxes into the city treasury. The discount on this amount is s3,67O.63, making a total of more than s400O0 already paid in
 The amount paid in at the close of business on February l. 1916 was s36,37956, being exceeded by this years figures little more than $500. Clerk Buckley stated that the remainder, or the biggest part of it. would probably be paid before the expiration of the time allowed, which is February IS. All taxes paid by this time call for face value only but after that date they bear an interest of ten per cent.
 According to the records of the clerks office, every assessment on real property for the previous year had been paid. There was not a single delinquent. and very few as- sessments on personal property were unpaid. Not a person refused to pay his assessment. Those who were delinquent could not be located.
 Out of 125 bachelors to whom no- tices of assessment were mailed, a large proportion have taken advan- tage of the discount offered. It is thought that at least ninety per cent of the entire number will have paid by February 15

MRS. MARQUAM SERIOUSLY ILL:
 IS IN SEATTLE

That his wife is seriously i'll in Providence hospital, in Seattle, was the information received by Thomas 4 Marnuam the local attorney. in a wire reaching him on Tuesday. The wire was signed by a trained nurse. and was to the effect that Mrs. Mar quam's condition is very grave. She is described as having an attack Of general neuritis, the trouble being confined to the base of the brain and the eyes. She is suffering in tense pain, according to the wire which states that Doctors Lampson and Leeds, two well known Seattle physicians, are in attendance.
 The wire was received with con siderable surprise by MT. Marquam and by Jack Altman, the young Tolo- vana operator Mrs. Marquam's son, who Is now in Fairbanks, for neither had dreamed of the illness of the wife and mother. MT. Marquam stat ed last night that in the last wire he had received from his wife Mrs. Marquam had stated that she was which was performed on her at Mayo Brothers hospital at RoChes- ter, Minn. She was at that time in South Dakota, at the home of relatives, recuperating her strength. Letters written at about the same time stated that she intended to go to Seattle and Portland to visit and would then start north.
 The wire received on Tuesday by Mir Marquam says that Mrs. Mar Quam was taken to the hospital on Sunday. For that reason, and be- cause of the fact that the message describing her condition was not dis patched to MT Marquam until Tues day, it is considered that her Illness is of very grave nature.
 Mir Marquam is doing everything possible for his wife. Immediately upon receipt of the message telling him of her illness, he wired for full particulars and details of the case. Also, after consulting with local phy- sicians, he wired to Seattle directing that Dr. Johanson, one of the most eminent nerve specialists on the coast, be called in consultation on the case. He has received no an swer to any of his messages as yet, but expects to do so today. He ex- pected to be informed yesterday re- garding further particulars of his wife's illness, but stated last night that the physicians in attendance at her bedside undoubtedly thought it advisable to consult with the nerve spe cialist before replying to his mes sage.
