TEMPORARY TRACK
 NEARLY FINISHED

The steel gang, laying rails to connect with the Nenana-Fairbanks main line for the purpose of having the construction equipment and sup plies hauled across the river, are still working on temporary track. They expect to reach the permanent way today, and will then continue opera tions until the Y and a portion of the roadbed towards Fairbanks has been completed.
 A work train is now operating on the road built on the river ice and is taking out material for the steel gang ahead, from the foot of the stiff leg derrick on the dock to point on the farther shore, al most opposite to the mouth of the Nenana river The entire length of the temporary track, which will be taken up before the breakup, is 6400 feet, large portion of this being on the river ice.
 The gang under Martin Gilman commenced laying a third rail this morning alongside the yard track, from a point near the old round house, and will continue to point near the sawmill, laying temporary narrow gauge track from this point to connect with the track on the river.
 This work is being done so that the big locomotive intended for serv- ice on the Fairbanks line as well as the other locomotives, passenger coach and box cars can be taken across the river as soon as steel has been laid on the Y on the Nenana-
 
 The locomotive No. 151, which is now on the track near the old round-house, is a large one of a powerful type and will probably haul the first through train from Nenana to Fairbanks, and as the T. V. R. tracks from Happy Junction to Fair bans are not strong enough to hold the 151, it is probable that heavy steel will be laid on that section the roadbed ballasted, and the bridges strengthened so that she could make the run into Fairbanks safely. Without her tender, the 151 is 52 feet long and weighs about fifty tons. She is fitted with g newly patented smokestack and spark arrester.

CHEAP DOLLAR IS CAUSE
OF HIGH LIVING COSTS
Urge Credits Be Lessened and Infla.
ton Stopped so Normal Condi-
lions May Return.

Washington, August 30.-Republi-
can financial authorities in Congress
have been forming definite conclusions
as to the high cost of living after
careful analysis of all the conditions
and have come to the conclusion that
1t Is due mainly to the cheapening of
the dollar, combined with six years Of
lack on the part of the Administration
of attempt to find remedy.
Thus Chairman Fess, of the Repub-
lican Congressional Committee, points
out that there should be gradual
contraction of credits In order to bring
prices down as soon as possible. Rep
resentative Madden, Of Illinois, says:
1--WE have already expanded the cur
rency about s13.OOO,O 100000 by making
loans to people who had to buy gov
eminent bonds and who had not any
money otherwise with which to buy
them. More than ninety per cent. of
the 100000 people who bought
bonds did not have a dollar with which
to pay. The banks had to loan to them.
They had to take these bonds and put
them up as collateral security with
their own notes and get them redis-
counted by the federal reserve banks.
The federal reserve banks didn't have
any money to loan and they had to
issue federal reserve note currency
thirteen billions of expansion"
In the course of the statement on
the subject Madden was interrupted
Champ Clark, leader OIL his party on
the floor and a supporter In 1896 Of
Bryan's dictum that the government
stamp on a piece of leather would
make 1t as valuable as a dollar. "Af-
ter the Civil War" said Clark, "a dol
lar of paper money was worth some
where between forty and sixty cents.
Now a paper dollar is worth as much
as the gold dollar" 1.-THE gold dollar"
explained Madden, sis not circulating.
The federal reserve notes alone are
in circulation"
1t is recognized on the Republican
side that the doubling of the produc-
ton of gold before the war and the
vast extension credoits during and
since the war have cheapened the cir
culating medium 30 that 1t will buy
but one-half of what it did before, but
Republican members say the Demo-
Gratis made the hypocritical pretense
that they would reduce prices by doing
away with the protective tariff; that
this only took away the power to COM
pete with Europe in production and
In 1913 hundreds of thousands were
thrown out of employment; that the
true way to reduce prices fundamen-
tally Is by boosting the value OF the
circulating medium, as DR.. Fess says,
by contracting credits, and that until
this is done the problem will mo- be
wholly solved, though everything pos
sible should be done to prevent hoard
ing and to stimulate production.
