All MILE ALASKA RAILROAD
TO COST $4,000 PER MILE

SEATTLE, Wash, July 20
Alaska's 471-mile government rail-
road is costing about $4,000 per
mile, completed according to fig
ures compiled by the Alaska Engi-
|neering commission which is direct
ing the construction. This cost, ac-
|cording to Manager J. l.. Mcpherson
of the Alaska bureau of the Seattle
chamber of commerce compares
very favorably with costs of other
railroads built not only in the north
but also in the virgin sections OF
the United States. The Copper
River railway, which runs out OF
Cordova, Alaska, cost about $4,000
per mile even before prices scared,
according to Mcpherson.
Total cost of the Alaska railroad
will be s5O,436,971. it is estimated.
Originally, in 1914, congress appro-

struction of the road. At first it was
estimated about $3O,O0O.0 900 would

that the cost of labor, supplies and
transportation scared, some items

The scene was briillant. The
weather did very well, for while it
was cloudy there was no rain. Scores
upon scores of gaily dressed women
walked and chatted with distin-
guished generals and admirals in
full regimentals, or went over the
political situation with statesmen,
of whom there were a great many
there from every party.

from the palace at 4 o'clock. and

try rich In mineral and agricultural
possibilities. Communication with
the great interior valleys of Alaska
will be made easier than ever be-
fore. At Fairbanks and Nenana, the
interior railroad points, trains will
connect with boats plying on the
Tanana, a tributary of the Yukon.
Cost of living, 1t is believed, will be
lowered in the interior as the pres
ent high freight rates keep commo-
dities at a high figure.
Attention is now being given to
the construction of feeder" roads
for the railroad. Instead of being
railroads, however, the feeders"
are wagon trails or automobile
roads. They will tap agricultural
and mining districts lying near the
railroad. Among these are the
Talkeetna mining district, about 40
miles northeast of Talkeetna; the
Valdez Creek country. about 70
miles northeast of the Susitina river
crossing; the Broad Pass section,
the Kantishna country and the Vent
ma territory.
Those who dream of more rail-
roads yet to be built in Alaska say
that someday the road will be ex-
tended from Fairbanks on to the
Yukon and also across the noun
tains to the Kuskokwim valley, a
great section of Alaska lying in the

OLDER GOLFERS DO NOT
LIKE BOY COMPETITION

DEL MONTE, Cal, July &c.
Adult players do not relish the idea
of competing in golf tournaments
against boys, according to Fred A.
Purner who is in charge of the var
ious athletic tournaments held at
Del Monte. 1.-THE oldmen play golf
largely for the social relaxation
which the game affords, aside from
the exercise they get out of it," said
Purner. 1.-THE boys take competition
more seriously and play to win.
Therefore the objection of the older
men is based, to a large extent, on
the fact that the boys do not make
good companions in the rounds OF
the links. oft is not unlikely that
the middle aged man, incidentally,
has his pride more or less injured
when he is beaten out by a young
ster. At all events, the adul a a
much more pleasureable time when
he is in competition with men OF his
own age and, as golf primarily is en-
gagged in for the pleasure it affords,
it is Just as well when possible, to
take this phase of the situation into
consideration" AS a result, Purner
is working out plans for permanent
tournaments in which the youngsters
under certain age can compete
among themselves.

BELL TELEPHONE COMPANY is
GRANTED PERMISSION TO
BUILD LINE

The public service commission of
Nevada has granted permission to
the Bell Telephone company to con
struct a line from Dayton to Tono-
pah and Goldfield, which will put
the southern end of the state in
communication with Reno. A tele-
gram urging favorable action in the
matter was SEN from here a few
days ago., signed by prominent bust
ness men.
This will for the first time give
the people of southern Nevada long,
distance telephone connection with
the northern part of the state and
California, something that Is re-
Igarded as essential in view of the
present mining activity in Esmer-
AIDA and Nye counties.
The application was supported be-
fore the commission by Governor
Boyle, State Treasurer Malley and
representative men from southern
Nevada companies, including the
iTonopah Divide Mining company.
1t is estimated that the line will
cost from $4,000 to 10000. The
poles of the Western Union will be
used. The Bell company agreed, ii
necessary, to build a new line cost
ing 5000, 900, but the agreement
with the Western Union makes this
unnecessary.

securities than any other two publications combined.
1t is published from the center of The Southern Nevada
mine fields which include, Goldield, TOnOpah, Manhattan,
Round Mountain, Pioneer, Divide and other districts.
THE DIVIDE DISTRICT, which is now claiming attention
of the mining world, is located in Esmeralda county, of which
Goldfied is the county seat.
The News-Tribune reports on the developments and
activities of the Divide District are accepted as The most
accurate and up-to-the-minute that the public receives.

of electricity are nearly universal
and it was found absolutely nee
essary to be able to Use it right up
on the firing line, on the subma-
rine chasers and in other places
where the action was fast and fur
ious and where things were liable
to happen with disconcerting sud-
denness.
These little air cooled electric
plants were found operating X-ray
machines in the field hospitals,
charging batteries for field tele-
phone sets, for aiplane signaling
for running the movie machines
at the army Y's for electric light
ing, in short for electric service at
any point where electricity would
help out. These small electric
units made a flexible system, for
they could be advanced or with
drawn as the fortunes of war
determined, could be installed in
an and go right to work produc-
ing the precious "juice" as promp-
thy as a battery would unlimber
and start Smelling.
The conditions of warfare speed
ly established the fact that the
simplest type of plant was the
best-that the fighting front or
the submarine chaser was no place
to have to be dealing with unnec-
essary attachments or features
and there was, of course, some
wedding out. But the plant that
was simple. efficient and sturdy,
the plant that could be depended
on in any emergency was used by
the thousand and played an i'm
portant part in the recent war.

During the progress of most wars
stories gain currency Of how some sol

which hit him first went through the
Bible he was carrying on his breast.
There were several such instances re-

OF them were true. The first to come
from France is that Of William R. VIII
son, nineteen years Of age, from New
castle, Pa. He was carrying a Bible
and a trench mirror in his pocket. A
German bullet hit them both. pene-

It came from a sharpshooter and was

the pupil will be rated in certain
traits. such as industry. initiative, at
