ANCHORAGE REAL ESTATE GIVEN
 A BOOM

Anchorage real estate rose in value upon the receipt of advices from the outside to the effect that a large gov ernment freighter would leave Balboa, Panama, the last of next month, load ed with 5000 tons of railroad supplies | for Anchorage. This shipment will consist mainly of flat cars steam shovels and heavy machinery for rail road work and is the first of several shipments that will bring additional machinery to Anchorage.
 The report was circulated that this shipment included part of the heavy dredge for immediate work on the harbor early next spring. Coniirma tion of the shipment was obtained from the headquarters of the Alaskan engineering commission this morning and further advice that very favor able reports had been received in re- gard to the harbor appropriation and that they would have some very i'm pOrtant news to give out to the public in the near future in regard to the status of the harbor and docking ia cilities.
 It is a well known fact that the powers at Anchorage have advocated shipping one of the dredges used on the construction work in the build ing of the Panama canal at this point
 to be used in dredging for the Anchor
 age harbor. and it is probable that this will be the next move of the Alaskan engineering commission. Plans for active work at all points
 on the government railroad have been devised, and with the added equipment coming from the govern
 ment works at Panama the following year should see wonderful progress in the work of the government railroad. There is no question even in the i mind of the most skeptical but that the large appropriation will be al | lowed. This, with the additional ma | chinery and equipment to facilitate the road work and the surety of the harbor and docks will greatly enhance Anchorage real estate and be wei come news to the business man and property owner of this city.-Anchor- age Times.

Washington. Jan, 13.-The Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee Is
deadlocked over President Wilson's
strike prevention proposal. After sew
eral hours debate of the measure in
executive session today the committee
failed TO reach an agreement on a
draft of the measure and adjourned
until Tuesday. Four Progressive
members of the committee, Senators
Clapp. of Minnesota; I3uFollette, of

Poindexter. OF. Washington, declared
themselves unalterahly opposed to the
proposition of making strikes or lock-
outs unlawful for a period of four
months. pending investigation by a
presidential commission II is report
cd that some of the Democratic MEM
bers are equally opposed to the meas
ure.
Talk was current about the Senate
that the committee would compro-
mise on a measure providing merely
for investigation without attempting
TO make strikes or lockouts unlawful.
The administration, 1t is understood.
would regard such a compromise as
valueless. and IL no stronger measure
can be secured in the committee,
would prefer abandoning the whole
proposal.
