HURTING WORK OUT
 THE LINE

Now that an inspection of the gov ernment railroad in Alaska is to be made by members of the House ter ritorics and appropriation committees york is now being hurried peII mcll on the Seward division. And the word for the extra Spurt came from the headquarters of the Alaska Engin- ecring Commission at Anchorage pre- sumably. for all things relative to the Seward Division originates from the Anchorage office.
 As a consequence of the forth com ing inspection. every man from the Talkeetna division every available man from the Anchorage Division are now out on the Seward Division north of Mile 47. according to unofficial ad- vices. The large number of men rush ed suddenly to the new front line of defense comprise T. &T" men bridge builders snow shed men. track layers, tie layers. pick and shovel men etc. The Sidings north of Mile Al look q if a circus train had been switched north There are the bunk cars mess cars and the best of the rolling stock from the Anchorage division. Hun dreds of men are working. not only on the day shift but the orders are |" work two shifts, night and day.
 After five years waiting the rush orders finally were issued and now everything is feverish. because tho members of the House coming north are probably going to mako a real in- spection and not "whitewaShing' in- spection.
 But what are tho Powers that b." going to say when the question is ask ed: "Why the sudden excitement and great r,sh? Who delayed the game? For what purpose was construction work hcld-up? Why was the app'oprf aton for the Seward Division always cut. when the Seward Division IS the outlet of the great and grand and g'- gantic enterprise of government own crship?"
 The average person would rather br down on Fox Island than in the shoes of the Anchorage authorities because thore are going to be some questions asked that are going to be hard 70 give a reasonable answer.
 But hundreds of extra men are how ever rushing work on the Seward Div ision for a purpose and that purpose is clear. to do something so that the House members may be able to ride from Seward to Anchorage after five years of construction work on rail road which was at one time railroad and traffic was in operation.
