TO DAD.

| They think Of us soldiers as heroes
| And praise our names To the skies
| They have tears for the one who is wound
ed
I And prayers for the one who dies
They write songs of our pals and our
sweethearts
And mothers so brave and sad
But, name a great singer or poet
Who's mentioned word about Dad
Poor Dad with his check-book md
troubles,
He hasn't a look in at all
It's Mother and pal end sweetheart
And Sammy who answered the call.
But Dad must be thinking and working
] n store, or mine, or a mill,
To get the old round iron dollars
TO pay the big family bill.
He buys the new bonds by the dozen,
Though bis shoes are run down a. the heels
And his overcoat's old and looks shabby,
But you never hear old Daddy squcal.
He doesn't write much Of a letter
To his boy who is going TO France,
But sends him crisp five or tcn-spot
Whenever he has n good chance;
And evenings when reading his paper
And smoking his pipe or cigar
He thinks of his boy clad in khaki
Says, Il hope it is well where you arc"
Now think Just Iof of my Mother,
She's written each day I've been gone;
And my pals and my friends and my
sweetheart
Have all helped to cheer me along;
But my Dad is as good and rs human,
And sometimes | certainly feel
That as my Dad has to pay and work
each day,
] don't think he gets square deal

of the trestle approaches on either shore.
 Owing to the fact that it takes more than two years to get struc- tural steel delivered in this country at the present time, and as tenl- porary means of crossing the Nenana river, the Commission plans call for the building of wooden bridge at this point until such time as rail communication with the coast is established and the necessary struc- tural steel can be procured and hauled to the spot over the Govern ment line, Trouble is expected here every season and wooden bridges will be built and replaced as often as thhy are destroyed by floods until the Commission is enabled to pro. cure and erect the permanent stee' structure intended to adorn the crossing.

CLERICAL FORCE REDUCTION MADE;
 CUT EXPLAINED
 =
Engineer In Charge of This Division
 Says Conditions Do Not Warrant Big Office Force.

Quite number of the clerlcal staff employed by the Alaskan En- gineering commission have been laid off indefinitely. Most of thes1 ws-' members of the force of the store department, the balance being made up of employees of the accounting and transportation department. In addition. to those whose services were discontinued, Messrs F. W. Gamble, employment agent and camp fore man and E. R. McGregor Welliver, shop clerk, rendered their resignations the combined retirements making big reduction in the clerical force of the Commission.
 MT. Frederick D. Browne, engineer in charge of the Fairbanks division, is Authority for the statement that the reduction was made necessary by reason of the fact that the cleri- cal force here was Apparently organ ized to handle the work in connec- tion with an outfit of about 300O men-@sGal railroad laborers and con- strs>tors. It was the intention of the Commission, at the outset. to have, perhaps, such large force i; , out existing conditions in the country did not permit of such action being taken because of labor not being as plentiful as anticipated and the great difficulties and expense con- nected with the landing in Nenana of the necessary materials and SUD- plies that ordinarily would have to be used, with such a large force at work. In consequence, it is now recognized that the overhead charges are too great.
 These conditions, coupled with the floods that are now deluging the country through which a section of the road runs, have about discour- aged the Commission officials and it seemed necessary to reduce the force and work more nearly along lines that would undoubtedly have been adopted if the road had been built by private enterprise.
 Just as soon as conditions warrant, the Commission will go ahead with the construction program and extend the line to the Lignite coal fields at least, after which the Nenana- Fairbanks line will be taken in hand and completed; and then, with what energies and resources are left push steadily on towards the coast.
 It must be understood, however that funds for the work are not yet available and all matters must nec- essarily be held somewhat in abey- ance pending word from Washington regarding the passage of the bill carrying the railroad appropriation
 As soon as conditions warrant such action, it is MT. Browne's intention to go out on the line and remain al the front, out among the real rail road builders, where actual co,I true tion work is in the various stages of progress.
