PROGRESS NOTED
 IN BRIDGE WORK
 ON U. s. RAILROAD

As soon as the frost leaves the ground another steam shovel will be placed in operation, to help with the fills that are to be made. All the bridges between Mile ' and Mile IA, twenty in number, are to be filled. Four of these bridges have already been eliminated, so there still remain sixteen to be done away with.
 All the bridges between Seward and Mile 45, which are not to be filled, will be rebuilt, and the piledriver crew has already started on this work. Between Mile 40 and Mile 45 there are six of the old bridges that will be filled.
 A location party is now relocating the he between Glacier and Bird Point, a distance of five miles, and as soon as this work is accomplished which will take about two weeks, it is expected that contracts will be let for constructing that part of the road

 LIKELY DROWNED
 NEAR COLD BAY

According to word received on the Dora, c. L. Kiss, of Cold bay, and a native companion, by the name of Gonkoff, from Kodiak, are supposed to have been drowned somewhere be- tween Cold bay and Kanata.
 Kiss has resided at Cold bay for the past five years, and runs trading post at Kanata. It was while on his way to the latter place in small, open boat that he is supposed to have met rough weather and drowned. Kiss left Cold bay on March 21 and no trace of him or his companion have been seen since. The inhabitants of that vicinity have searched the beach for miles, but have found no signs of the missing men.

CHANGE or SITE FOR STATION
 NOT POSSIBLE

The Alaskan Engineering Commis- sion is in receipt of a petition contain ing forty-seven signatures, praying that the new Seward depot be located on the Federal reserve tract, which is situate near the new fish dock, and the present location of the "Y."
 The commission cannot consider the request for many reasons. One of them being that it has been already announced that the depot would be built at the foot of Adams street, and the purchase of property at that loca- tion for depot purposes has been con- Summated Besides, the site as al- ready selected is considered by the commission as being the most con venient and suitable location for all purposes. For this reason, even though the petition had been received at an earlier date, it is nc< probable that it could have received much con- sideration.
 The plans for the new depot are complete. and actual construction of it will begin as soon as the material arrives. which will be at an early date.

PLANTING THE BEET
CROP IN Progress

Some sugar beets have been plant
cd throughout the valley, but the ad-
vice OF the experts this spring has
been 10 await settled and warm
weather before putting the seed In

the sugar company who have been
through tho Oregon beet growing
dIstricts during the past season state
that there Is nothing 10 be gained in
BOO carly planting unless the ground
IA warm enough TO start the seed at
once. The chief cause OF failure OF
seed 10 gorminatc readily and pro-
ducc good stand was deep plant
Ing In cold soil state these men. The
same advice was algo given by II. w.
Campbell. who was In the valley last
week. Thorough preparation OF the
soil In impressed and too careful pre-
paration OF the seed bed can not be
made. Upon this depends a large
measure OF the success OF the crop
The acreage being signed up IA
satisfactory for the second year OF
the industry In tho district. and II Is
expected that the factory will be able
to run during most OF the winter. No
land Ia being accepted this year that
is not under irrigation. and there
viii be no bad tracta to pull down
the general average OF yield. There
win be from 1000 TO 1000 acres
planted this spring. at least 500 acres
OF which will be In the Willamette
valley, In the Independence district.
The factory people have sIgnified
their desire 10 build factory In
the Willamette valley II the crop
this season Is satisfactory and sur
ficlent acreage is guaranteed for next
year.

some kind OF proposals influenced
by Count Won Bernstorff and intend
ed therefore to head OF the war spirit
in the American congress.

the departments suggestions. how
ever, will not permit any false pro-
posals to becloud the clear issues
