That the government railroad in Alaska will be completed to Fairbank- at the end of the year 1919, two years from next fall, is the statement made by Chairman EdeS of the Engi- neering Commission.
 This statement of EdeS appears in the Juneau Dispatch of December 27 last The Dispatch in aneditorial says directly that EdeS denies the report that the completion of the railroad will be delayed beyond the time orig inally estimated. If Commissioner Mears was rightly quoted as saying that the road would not be built until 1921 and that Seward had no chance to be joined up with Anchorage this year he was either joking or trying to tease someone evidently, The Gate way here repeats what it said a few days ago and that is the Engineering Commission will do everything pos sible and is doing all it can right now to connect Anchorage and Seward this year as Mir. EdeS told this paper long ago they intended to do. It can hardly be possible that the chairman of the Commission and one other

EDES SAYS RAILROAD WILL BE BUILT

in any way Like all other enterprises we have felt the effect of high freight rates and a scarcity of shipping. Pos sibly we have felt this somewhat more than others, as practically everything used in the construction of the road uSt be brought from the Pacific coast The past season was also wet one in Alaska with numerous storms, which occasioned some changes in our plans
 By Dec. 30 about 65 miles of new track will have been laid for the sea son, making S5 miles in all, extending in both directions from Anchorage. In addition to this over 50 miles of right of-way has been cleared on the line between the end of the track and Fair banks and over 35 miles of grading ddne in disconnected sections. Large additions have been made to our con- struction equipment and large amoun- ts of supplies will be distributed by sled this winter, preparatory to an active campaign as soon as conditions are favorable in the spring.
 'I feel that we have reasons for congratulation on the result of the seasons work.

Music With Dental Work,

Music with dentistry is the latest al.
lance of the arts and sciences re-
ported at New York. Doctor
John B. Senesac is the origina-
tor Of this idea He noticed that
nine-tenths of those who entered his
dentists chair f1inched before they
were really hurt. He decided they
were concentrating too much atten-
ton on that buzzing little drill we all
know so well and that their minds
should be diverted.
So when patient sits down for the
ordeal now, Clarence SIENNA, Doctor
Senesacs musical assistant, takes his
place at the baby grand and says:
Classical or ragtime?"
Mr. SIENNA is able to play almost
anything the sufferer suggests, and
does not play at all il the occupant of
the chair desires. But few patients
want the music to stop once they have
tried its effect. Doctor Senesac bids
fair to get reputation for that much
advertised but seldom-discovered ar
tcle-painless dentistry.

PLANT IRIS UNDER LILACS
Color Combinations In Shrubs That
Make for Real Beauty in the
Garden.

Color harmony in blossoms may b,
seen to good advantage when Rosa
setigera (prairie rose) is planted in
front of common elderberries. These
two shrubs bloom at the same time
and the pink flower of the Rosa Seti-
gera and the white blossoms OF the
elderbarry present a most delicate and
beautiful effect.
Few il any OF the spring Towering
shrubs can surpass in splendOr the
forsythias, the Garden Magazine says.
One of our earliest shrubs to bloom
in the spring. the bright yellow flow
ers coming out at time when nearly
all other shrubs are still dormant,
make this wonderful bush a great ia
vOrite The brightness Of the yellow
blossoms Eliminates the densely laden
branches with a rare beauty. If Mer-
tensia Nirginica (the common bluebelD
be planted directly underneath the
effect is charming. This is particular
ly noticeable in the case of FOrsythia
Suspense, the dropping variety. Here
the blue and pink blossoms Of the
mertensia can be family seen through
the dropping branches of the yellow
fOrsythia.

and white blossoms at this time a

BIRD USES BEACHEY METHODS
Roller Performs Aerial Somersaults.
Gides and FIipflops to Win
His Sweetheart.

II a Barnum or Forepaugh amone
the birds ever attempted to organize
a circus, the roller, which lives in At
RIGA, would be a candidate for a
place as a flying trapeze artist and
aerial tumbler. He will dive. turn flip
fops, glide and perform other thrillers
to delight the professional acrobat
and the blase audience. Even the
gymnastic monkey could learn a trick
from this bird.
He performs his tricks mostly when
he's counting. His lady friend, perched
on the limb of a convenient tree, is
his audience. The roller starts off
with flight straight up in the air to
considerable height, singing rack
rack-rack" as he ascends.
From his height he begins to
tumble. First he throws himself back
ward and turns a somersault, as
though he were falling. Perhaps he
does it to brighten the little miss sit
ting on the limb of the tree. Then
he catches his balance again and takes
another plunge. this time straight
down, and finally glides away to the
limb where sits his sweetheart.
OF course. no kind-hearted female
bird would dare refuse to marry such
an accomplished acrobat as that,
