The Government Railway.
(ValdeZ Miner.)


 Within the next few weeks of the greatest engineering feats of modern times will have been completed Starting at Seward and driving nearly GOO miles north through virgin and nearly inaccessible country the engineers of the Government Railroad have successfully every obstacle and brought civilization to Interior Alaska. The linking the coast to the Interior metropolis of Fairbanks will cause the Tanana district to forge rapidly ahead in agriculture, stock raising and mining. With cheaper freights and better mail facilities the Nenana the Panama and lower Yukon districts will be rapidly settled up and hundreds of prospects become produc- CTS, while the smoke from the homesteaders fires will rise from thousands of homes.
 To Col Mears and his associates is due unstintel praise for their perseverance in the face nnumer- able obstacles only those encountered in the con struction of the railway but through carpng cism and ceaseless naggng, the latter having the effect of holding up appropriations and causing de- lays until they could be explained away.
 Considering the character of the country raversed and the natural obstacles encountered the railway has 'cost far less than expected by old timers with the topography of the country. With miniie resumed and an increased population, the railway will be an important factor in the upbuildng of Alaska, and will stand enduring monument to it's builders.
