town." it is declared.

BUILDING PHONE LINE THROUGH
 TO FAIRBANKS

J. F.. Frost, of the telephone and telegraph department for the Alaskan Engineering Commission is now at work on the permanent line to con meet Seward with Fairbanks by tele- phone.
 Frost was in charge of construction work on the extension of the line from the head of Cook inlet to Talkeetna and the present project is merely the further extension of the same line on over the mountains to Nenana, which place is already connected with Fair banks.
 In all probability, as soon as the line is completed it will be the line that will carry all news to Fairbanks and other interior points from the coast, and in that event Seward, ami not Valdez will he the big cable sta tion.

BRIDGES HOLD
 ON WAGON ROAD
 ON MATANUSKA

The wagon road north of the Little Susitna river is rapidly nearing com pletion. Within a few days it will be possible to haul light loads from Camp 174 to Camp 195. At the close of the week the snow had practically disap- peared. All the streams in the sec tion of Matanuska were very high, but no bridges had been washed out.
 Gianninni & Co. were awarded a contract for grading between Stations D6436 and D6475 and have moved their outfit to that section.
 Many of the stationmen who have been engaged on road building have resumed work on their contracts and their places have been filled by com mission gangs.
 Track was laid from Station 5574 plus SO to Station 5670, and a side track was laid from Station 5642 plus O4 to Station 5665 plus S1. The en- tire gang worked two days surfacing and full-tieing the track previously laid.
