ocean. and runs inland for four hun
dred and seventy miles to Fairbanks

tributary of the Yukon, About one
hundred and fifty miles Of the work
has already been completed. IN plan
ming the railroad II was necessary for
the Government to purchase some of
the small railroads owned by private
companies.
The Alaska Northern Railroad was
one Of these. 1t is a railroad first
conceived by Seattle capitalists in the
year 1903, for the purpose Of secur-
ing more direct route from the
Pacific ocean to the interior OF
Alaska. in the hope OF getting a por-
ton OF the trade between seaports Of
the United States and the Fairbanks
and Klondike mining regions both Of
which, at times. showed great pros
perity. The Ultimate intention was
to extend the line farther north. In
its early stages 1t was known as the
Alaska Central Railroad and under
this name # went into the hands OF q
receiver. After its affairs were set
tied it changed hands and became
known as the Alaska Northern RAN
road. and was purchased by the Unit
ed states Government in 1915. It runs
from Seward TO Kern Creek on Tur

known as the Alaska Railroad Bill
which was approved by the President
on March II. 1914. The road was not
20 exceed one thousand miles. nor Is
II TO cost more than S95, 100000. The
purpose Of the railroad, as set forth
in the Act, Is as follows:
l. To connect one or more OF the
Pacific Ocean harbors on the south
ern coast of Alaska with the navigable
waters OF the interior.
2. To connect the coal fields so as
TO best aid the development OF the
agricultural, mineral and other re-
sources.
3. To provide transportation or coal
for the Army and Navy transporta-
ton of troops, munitions Of war, mails
and other governmental and pubic
uses including the transportation oi
passengers and freight.
The primary purpose Of the railroad
system authorized in the Act was 10

country particularly its coal.

Golden Postoffice to Be
Central Office for County

Central Office for County
A change has been made in
the postal service affecting the
manner of obtaining supplies for
what is now to be known as the
District postoffices." Postmas-
ter Newton received notice the
first of the week that he would
hereafter be required to report
to Postmaster ]. A. Ferris at
Golden for his supplies instead
of Washington. as heretofore.
He will also make his quarterly
reports and remittances thru the
Golden office. which will be des.
ignated as the Central Postoffice
and all others in the county to lie
known as District Postoffices.
This change does not. however,
increase the salary nor delegate
to the central postmaster any au.
thority over the smaller Offices.
The idea seems to be to create a
more economical system of dis
tribution. For instance, if Mr..
Newton needs s, 900 envelopes he
makes a reqnisition on the Gold
en- office instead of Washington,
and instead Of waiting twenty or
thirty days for them he should
receive them the next day.
