FIFTY MILLIONS WILLBECOSTOF
 ALASKA'SROAD

SEATTLE, July 25 (by Associated Press) ).-Alaska's 471-mile government railroad is costing about $75,O00 per mile, completed, according to figures compiled by the Alaskan engineering commission, which is directing the construction. This cost, according to Manager J. l.. McPherson of the Alaska bureau of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, compares very favor ably 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 1885, 900 per mile, even before prices scared, according to MT. McPherson.
 The total cost of the Alaska rail road will be $50,436,971, it is estimated. Originally, in 1914, congress appropri- ated $35,000,000 for the construction " that about $3O,OOO,OOO would complete the line But the war came and prices of labor and material scared. Not withstanding the fact that the cost of labor, supplies and transportation scared, some items over 100 per cent, the cost of the road has increased only 301 per cent over the original estimates, the commission recently pointed out.
 When the road is completed it will open up, it is expected, a country rich in mineral and agricultural possibili- ties Communication with the great Interior valleys of Alaska will be made easier than ever beforee. At Fairbanks and Nenana, the Interior railroad points, trains will connect with boats plying on the Tanana, a tributary of the Yukon. Cost of liv- ing, it is believed, will be lowered in the Interior, as the present high freight rates keep commodities 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 forty miles northeast of Tal- keetna the Valdez Creek country, about seventy miles northeast of the Susitna river crossing; the Broad Pass

section, the Kantishna country and the Yentna territ( ry
 Those who dream of more railroads yet to be built in Alaska say that some day the road will be extended from Fairbanks on to the Yukon and also across the mountains to the Kus- kokwim valley, great section of Alaska lying in the far southwestern corner.

The Arness Lumber Company has secured a contract to furnish 59,OO0,- 900 feet of rough lumber for shipment to Australia, according to a telegram received recently by Olaf Arness, says
The Cordova daily times., 1919-07-26

Improvement work on the Fairbanks to Valdez trail during the present sea son will cost $13OOOO, according gto c. J. Morrison, superintendent for the Alaska road commission. Work will be directed from the Chitina end, where ten crews have been organ ized.

INVESTIGATE CUTOvER LANDS
Congress VIII Be Asked To Pas,
Laws To Have Large Areas
Surveyed.

Washington, Efforts are to b.
made by the government for the utili
cation of the millions OF acres Of cut
over lands throughout the country. A
recommendation is now before th,
secretary of agriculture and, II he ap
proves 1t, legislation will be intro
duced in congress calling for survey
of these lands with a view Of deter
mining that for which they are besI
adapted.
1t Is urged that while some Of thest
lands will be suitable only for refor
esting, others. depending upon thu
character OF the soil. may be convert
ed into pasturage by the planting Of
grasses especially adapted to the sol
and climate. This survey doubtless
would be undertaken by the depart
ment of agriculture and DR.. c. V. Fl
per. of the bureau of plant industry
and leading authority on grasses
already has given this matter somt
consideration.
While most OF these lands are In
the south. there are also enormow
acreages In Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Michigan, and these, too, would be in
cluded in the proposed survey.

Plymouth, -Seaplane NC-4, pride Of
the American navy, crossed Plymouth
Sound Saturday, May 81, circled the
place whence the Pilgrim fathers
sailed in their cockleshell ship for the
new world in 1920, and alighted In the
Cattewater, her epoch-making trans
Atlantic flight ended.
AS she came into view through the
western haze, easily recognizable
among the escorting British flyers by
her great bulk, England gave her the
splendid welcome she deserved.
Leaving Ferrol, Spain, where Lieut.
Commander Albert C. Read had elect
ed to spend Friday night, at 6:27 Sat
urday morning. the NC-4 covered the
distance of approximately 500 miles to
Plymouth In less than seven hours.
The rousing welcome OF Plymouth
residents to the American airmen and
the cordial reception given TO them
aboard the Rochester by Rear ADJ
miral Plunkett, the mayor OF Ply
mouth, British and American officials
and the crews Of the other NC planes
reached climax with the first actual
landing OF the victorious crew at the
spot from which the Pilgrim fathers
SET forth for America.
There was wonderful interest in the
last lap of the flight, although It was
eclipsed by the previous flights OF this
seaplane, for in the opinion OF Ameri-
can naval officers and the British pub
lie generally the NC-4 reached the
peak of her great adventure when she
spanned the Atlantic at Lisbon. The
last stage Of the journey was regard
ed by airmen chiefly as side show"
to attest the firm friendship which the
war has cemented between this coun.
try and the United States.
The pride felt by Americans In the
extraordinary feat Of the NC-4 finds
hearty echo OF genuine admiration.
expressed by British naval men and
airmen for the crews skill and pluck
and the well-worked out plans OF the
American navy to facilitate and safe
guard the flight.
