FOUR GANGS
 ON NEW WORK

Four gangs of stationmen are at work at present on the uncompleted section of the Turnagain Arm line be- tween Girdwood and Mile 70.
 These gangs have established camps and are opening up ground along dis trictS totaling a mile, at points where the most extensive grades are neces- sary. When this work is far enough advanced, intervening lighter work will be covered so that all of that sec ton will be opened at once.

COMMISSION STILL PROCEEDING WITH
 ANCHORAGE PLANS, REFERRED TO BY DANIELS
 IN HIS LETTER ADVISING WORK AT SEWARD

Advices from Anchorage are that the Alaskan engineering commission are proceeding with the project pro posed by Commissioner Mears to es- tablish commercial coal bunkers there. These are the plans referred to by Secretary Daniels in his letter writ ten to Senator PoindeXter, who made inquiries on behalf of those in- terested in the project early this year, the answer being forwarded here by the senator.
 The letter in full follows:
 Seward, Alaska, April 21, 1917. My dear Senator:
 Receipt is acknowledged of your let ter of April 10, 1917, inclosing tele- gram from the Chamber of Commerce, Seward, Alaska, and in reply l am pleased to furnish the following sum mary of this Departments letter dated March 12, 1917, to the depart ment of the Interior from which 1t will be noted that steps have already been taken to safeguard the Navy's interest inso far as relates to the de- velopment of the Matanuska coal fields by private enterprise.
 With reference to a terminal for de- livery of coal for naval purposes, the range of tide at the port of Anchor age is about 37 feet, the currents are swift, and it is not always possible to cross the bar just below Anchorage without having to wait for the tide. There is ample land there for the ex- pansion of a terminal for reserves for commercial and governmental purposes, and it is understood to be the intention at present to dredge a wet basin at Anchorage suitable for the accommodation of collierS and other vessels while loading; also that it is planned to erect coal handling and storage plant around this basin for the purpose of loading vessels. This proj- ect is entirely commercial one and in no way commits the Navy Depart ment to select the port of Anchorage as a base for coaling.
 The port of Seward, however, ap- pears to more nearly satisfy the con dition of quick approach from the sea,

is an open harbor all the year round and an advantageous location as re- gards labor supply. It is therefore recommended that the Alaskan Engi- neering Commission proceed with the development of Seward as a terminal for general traffic and for the deliv- cry of coal for naval purposes.
 Contingent upon the coal produced being satisfactory for naval purposes afoat, the navy department will guar antee the purchase of about 15O,OOO tons per annum; this quantity to be guaranteed during period of not less than five years from the date on which the coal mining is actually begun.
 The price to be paid for such coal as is purchased, plus expenses incident to delivery into vessels and cost of trans portation alongside Pacific stations, shall not exceed the cost to the Navy of the coal transported from Atalantic range ports to these stations; the price accepted to be determined, if practi- cable, as the result of competitive bid ding.
 In the case of the first 25,000 tons delivered, the navy department will ac- cept the coal at the price agreed upon, provided it is of a quality not inferior to five per cent less efficient than the coal tested on the Maryland on No vember 7th to 18th, 1914; the remain der of the coal supplied to be of a quality equal to that furnished for the test referred to, or to be subject to an appropriate reduction in price; and the results obtained from the first years supply-15O,OOO tons-shall determine whether further deliveries of this coal will be accepted.
 With reference to the item of deliv- cry, it is understood that satisfactory arrangements will be made under which the coal may be accumulated in such fuel ships of the navy as may report for cargo tonnage.
 Sincerely yours,
 J0SEPHUS DANIELS.

FOREST NOTES.

Several of the Forest Rangers on
this Forest have had considerable sue.
cess during the past two months in
poisoning coyotes with lard pellets
containing capsules of cyanide of po-
tassium. The local Forest is doing
everything possible to eNterminate
these animals.
1t is understood that some pure bred
stock was purchased at the Denver
Stock show by users of the Battle
ment National Forest, which is in line
with the present tendency toward
bettering the present class of range
stock.

It. often happens that preliminary
or rough survey must be made for
some purpose or another upon the Ma
tional Forest. A rapid economical
method for doing such work as this
is rather difficult to find. A California
ranger seems to have solved the prob
lem by using bicycle wheel to which
is attached cyclometer and which is
operated by his simply walking over
the route of which a rough measure
ment is desired and pushing the wheel
by means of a handle. the cyclometer
registering the distance in miles and
