RAILS NEARING
 GLACIER CREEK
 ON NEW ) LINE
Rails Are Now 700 Feet From Glacier Greek; Bridge Will Be
 Commenced Tomorrow

When the steel gang quit work for the day yesterday evening, the steel on the new D line had reached Station No. 1881, which is only about 700 feet distant from the north bank of Glacier creek.
 It is expected that this distance will be covered today, in which case a commencement will be made with the work of driving the bling for the 120-foot bridge across Glacier creek. The steel is being laid in a swamp with about depth of two and half feet of water, and, in consequence, the work is not moving as fast as the officials would like.
 All of the material for the con- struction of the bridge which will span Glacier creek has been assem- bled handy for use as soon as it becomes possible to get the track driver to the spot to commence operations.

TERCNIER CAPTURED

LONDON town of Tergnier which is about three miles west of the fortified town of La Fere, was captured by the French troops today who advanced on a twenty-mile front to an average depth of two miles and in some places to a depth of four miles. The occupation of Tergnier by the French troops was not opposed by the enemy, who ap- pear to be too much disheartened to offer any serious resistance. The fighting along the advancing French line is said to have been of S|- sultory nature, the enemy retiring after the first few shots had been fired. The advancing french forces have also reached the forest of Coucy.
 British Advance Rapidly.
 The progress made by the ad- vancing British columns on prac- tically the whole battle front from the Heverincourt wood to the river Aisne, continued today with rather greater rapidity than had been ex- pected. This is due mainly to the very feeble resistance offered by the retreating Huns.

The good old prospecting bug seems to have been getting in his work on a lot of people around Anchorage. There is more talk of people getting out into the hills than there has been for several seasons. This has been brought about to a great extent by the re- cent appeals of the government for a continuance of gold production and the likelihood of having bounty or subsidy of some kind placed by the government on this product.

VICTORIA ARRIVES AFTER
 STRENUOUS BATTLE WITH ICE

The hills bacl, of the city have hecn visible 10 those on the ship for more than a week but until yesterday morning the ice pack remained so thick that the steamer was unable to advance more than mile or two a day During the long interval of wait ing, the passengers enjoyed thcmscl- yes as well as could be expected and the majority arrived with a decidedly tanned appearance, indicating much sunshine and contact with the out doors. TO while away the time. and also obtain much needed exercise, cal esthcnics were indulged in the open air under the direction of q physical cultnrist who was among the passcn- gers. During a portion of the stay in the ice pack, the steamer now gen orally recognized here under the cryp- tie appelleation of "()" was m close proximity to the Victoria, but proceed. cd farther to the eastward during the past few days
 More favorable ice conditions dcvcl- oped carly Monday morning and, aside l from one or two brief halts, the vessel made steady progress during Monday | night. At three q. m Tuesday the l eteam Ter was plainly visible to the naked eye from the beach and worked steadily inward until the open water of the roadsted was reached shortly after nine o'clock. The call of the steamers siren brought practically tho entire population to the water front. Immediately after the liner anchored, nearly every power vessel in the road sted hurried out to assist in bringing the passengers ashore and most of the 221 persons destined for this port were landed before mid-afternoon. In ad- dition to a list of nearly five hundred passengers the Victoria carried n heavy consignment of mail and full 'cargo of freight.

After more than fourteen days of constant struggle to force a way thru the heavy ice pack cumbering Boring sea from the vicinity of Nunvak Is- land to the very shores of Nome, the good ship Victoria, of the Alaska Steamship Company arrived in the roadsted twenty three days out from Seattle at 9:50 yesterday morning after one of the most strenuous trips encountered by her veteran comman- der, Capt. John OBrien in all his long experience in Arctic waters. Prac- tically one hundred and fifty miles of ice was encountered after the Victoria
 reached the vicinity of Nunivak, and
 the steamer was compelled 10 buck
 her way through the greater part of ton. The officers report that the foes were thicker and of far greater density than ever before known in this region. some of the heavier fields being apparently twelve or fifteen feet thick. The Victoria threaded her way thru the pack with great difficulty, at times compelled to stop for hours by huge
 masses of impenetrable ice. and again
 pressing onward foot by foot, The difficulties encountered arc well in- dicated by the fact that the steamer l is eleven days behind all previous records for the first spring arrival The passengers are enthusiastic in their praise of the masterly seaman'
 ship displayed by Capt. O'Brien, many
 declaring that the big steamer would probably not have got through fol many days yet, but for his remarkable skill and knowledge of ice navigation
 The navigator in said to have remain
 ed constantly on duty during the past twenty four hours at times forcing Ehis vessel through seemingly impass' ! able ice fields and compelled to fight
 for practically every inch of progress made.
