YARDS
 EAST OF TOWN

Both steam shovels on this division are in action this week, working double shift. The Bucyrus shovel with a record at Panama is complet- ing a rock cut at Mile 9 1-2, and the Marion is engaged at the head of the bay.
 The latter shovel is cutting drain age ditch through the wide cut made near Mile 2, which will solve the frost problem in that section. The ground there contains a great deal of water and during the cold snaps last winter the frost put several kinks in the track. The cut now being made IS we'll below grade and will thoroughly drain the upper section. Material from this cut is being used in an eX- tension of the freight yards along the east water front.

MINING MAN IS
 TAKEN OVER LINE

J. c. Murray, the well-known miner from Cache creek, was oua over the line on the central division few days ago. He took in the coal mines on Moose and Eska creeks, and reports that everything looked well on these properties. Murray is an ardent ad- vocate of better roads, trails, te!e- phones and mail service for the out lying districts, and has done no small part in calling the attention of the government men having these things in charge of their lack and pressing need all over this section of the coun- try.

ACCOMPLISH BIG RESULTS WITH
 OLD EQUIPMENT
No. IA

Locomotive No. 21, the ten-wheeler purchased from logging company in Washington owing to inability to se- cure early deliveries of rolling stock from the factories, is now ready for service, and is reported in first class condition. >
 Including the little switch engine formerly used on the Denny regrade, purchased by the commission for use when the old Alaska Northern tracks would not carry heavier locomotives, and the queer misfits reclaimed from the Alaska Northern to serve in the emergency, this division holds the rec ord for the wierdest collection of roll ing stock this far north.
 The operating department is justly proud of the results produced with these rejuvenated, worn out engines.
 Two new locomotives from Panama, the first standard equipment to be re- ceived, will be assembled at once and will be in service by the time recon struction work on the old line has been completed sufficiently to permit the use of 110-ton equipment.

 The President of the United States following the National custom of more than half q century, has designated Thursday, November 29th, 1912 as a day of thanksgiving and prayer.
 The year now drawing to a close has been fraught with momentous conse- quences for this nation. We have en- tered the great war in behalf of those principles of Liberty Freedom and De- mocracy which have been so benificant in the life of our country.
 In this our government has been guided by supreme desire to make the world safe place for the excr- else of those mmutablc principles of government which, under God, have placed the United States in the front rank of civilized and progressive na- tions. Our people are being called on to make great personal sacrifices and the demand for personal service and effort will largely increase as time passes but the spirit of unity and un- faltering purpose which actuates them will lead to ultimate and triumphant victory
 ! Now, therefore I, J. F. A. Strong, Governor of the Territory of Alaska. do
