ing costs OF labor and material have
faced the government with a possible
curtailment of the work on the Alaskan

post Of the road. first estimated at $780,
100000.
Secretary Lane has advised the house
appropriations committee that special

prepare a report for congress. He says
it may come down to a business question
of whether it is advisable, with the high
cost of labor. rails and other supplies to
push the railroad through the Susftna
Valley Immediately or to merely connect
up the Matanuska Valley with Steward
SO that the navy can get coal either at
