The senior class Halloween party, on

grand success. 1t was given at the

The seniors had everything appro

Of the reception room in which there
we're no lights, there was ghost
who greeted each guest with cordial
handshake. After his encounter with
the spook the guest passed through the
reception room to the parlor, both OF
which were decorated with Halloween
paraphernalia.
Everyone had good time playing
games, etc. Shortly before the party
broke up delicious refreshments were
served in the dining room in which
the symbol of Halloween, the proven
bal pumpkin, radiated its influence
from the center of the room to each
one Of the merrymakers.

GOVERNMENT RAILROAD SOON
TO REACH HEART OF ALASKA

Admittedly the Congressional Rec
ord is hard reading. But as the Ameri-
can citizen slowly brings his interest
to a focus on American affairs, after
half decade Of watching European
wars, there is one page of an old issue
that deserves a glance. Here is re-
corded an act .'of congress, March IL,
1914, which empowers the president
"to designate and cause to be located
a route or routes for line or lines
of railroad in the territory of Alaska
not to exceed in the aggregate one
thousand miles, to be so located as to
connect one or more of the open Pa
cific ocean harbors on the southern
coast of Alaska with the navigable
waters in the interior Of Alaska, and
with a coal field or fields, so as best
to aid in the development of agricul-
tural and mineral or other resources
of Alaska, and the settlement of the
public lands therein" With memory
freshened, the citizen will perhaps
want to know what has been done.
done.
Soon after the authorization of this
work thirteen surveying parties were
in the field, and by 1915 their reports
were in, and the route had been chos-
en-. One terminus was to be the town
of Seward, an "open Pacific ocean
port" the second, on the opposite
side of the Alaska range, was to be
the town of Fairbanks, in the splendid
valley of the Yukon system.
Thus the construction Of about five
hundred miles of. railroad was the
task assigned to the Alaskan Engineer
ing commission; and the situation to-
day can be epitomized by the state
ment that they have completed all but
an approximate fifth of this total. At
Mile ia" is the little community of
Anchorage, Child" and headquarters
of the railroad. Thence the rails run
| through farming country bordering
Knik Arm and the Susitna river, par
alleling the latter until the stream
curves away to the east. And it is to
about this point that the construction
has attained. Merely indicated by the
surveyors stakes, now, the line slips
through the Alaska range by way of
Broad pass, elevation 2,319 feet, and
reaches the. Nenana coal field. Here,
at about mile $685. the rails are met
with once again, and can now be fol,
lowed through gold mining and agri-
cultural areas to Fairbanks at mile
All"
Obviously, much is to be done be
fore December 81, 1922, the date for
completion set by congress. Yet, the
railroad already has rendered invalu.
able service to interior and coastal
Alaska by making accessible two large
obal fields.
Such, in the large, are the results
of six years labor. But mention must
be made in passing of one Illuminating
detail which suggests better than
charts or statistics, the comforting
changes which the railroad effects in
the life of the vicinity This is the
fact that, between Seward and An
chorgae, the road is now operating a
buffet car. Here the traveller can Sc.
cure an elaborate dinner of fresh
mountain trout with rasher Of ba
con for only s1.25, while Matanuska
potatoes can be had for fifteen cents
