There has been something mys- terious about certain bunch of Elks lately, and on Mondays, and Wednesdays, and Fridays and even Sunday afternoons, certain mem- bers of the skagway lodge ducked out of sight and could not be found.
 Herlock Shomes got on their tratE however, and tracing their thumb marks against fence posts and the sides of buildings finally unearthed the cause of this mystery. MT. shomes, the greatest dyspeptic on earth, discovered that they went Into the back of the Elks hall, and stealthily stealing to 8 point of vantage. he plastered his acute ear up against the rear of the building and there learned the truth.

RAILROAD WORK MAY GET 4
 SET BACK

Washington, April IS. - Seven million dollars is the amount the Alaskan engineering commission is asking of congress this year to carry out the years' program of construction of this governments Alaska railway. Nearly S26r0OO'- 900 has been received by Rppropria- tion in the past of the $35, 1000 authorized for the work. It IS ap- parent that next year, provided the $7,OOO,OOO now asked is received and expended, it will be necessary To ask an appropriation beyond the original 5,OOO,OO0 authorization, for only $2,OOO,OOO of that will re- main, and the road is only d little more than half completed, high costs having operated in this work as elsewhere.
 Representative Fitzgerald, of New York, who, as chairman of the house committee ou appropriations, virtually pledged his committee tG see the railroad work through, Is out of congress and RepdresentatiFe sherley, of Kentucky, who is bound by no pledge, Is chairman in his place. MT. Sherley is struggling hard to keep down appropriations.
 The Alaska rallroad's S7.O00,000 for this year is proposed as an iteT in the sundry civil bill, the great measure that carries money for pub lie works and routine activitieB of the government. MT. Sherleg's committee has just begun the preparation of that measure and will not have it ready for the house at least until the end of this month perhaps later. To permit his early departure for Alaska, Chair man W. c. Edes, of the Alaskan. engineering commission, has been before the committee already ar guing for ths money.
 Observers of congress sense In the situation 0 possiIbe danger to the Alaska railroad. It is possible that some economist, staggered by the magnitude of proposed Gppro- Uriations, will propose, in commit lee or on the floor, that work on the railroad cease until the end Of the war. Unless the true relation that the railroad bearB Eo the de- velopment of the resources of AL aska is understood by congress such a plea might well receive support Chairman Sherley has exhibited no- thing but friendly spirit to- ward the railroad work, but the possible danger is in those members not so familiar with the work as he. Secretary Lane Is alive to the situation and is doing all possible to prevent attack on the rah- road item.
