BRIDGE ENGINEER PLEASED;
 SAYS WORK IS GOING FINE

". E. Angler, consulting engineer, who arrived in Nenana last week from Chicago, to look over the work that is now in progress in connection with the construction of the big Panama river bridge, told 8 representative of The News lasL night he had found the work much more advanced than he had expected and he spoke in highest terms of the manner in which the big undertak- ing Is going forward under the di- rection of Chairman Mears and his capable assistants.
 The plans and specifications of the big steel structure were drawn up in the offices of the Chicago en- gineering firm in which MT. Angler IS associated with Ralph Modjeski, son of the late Mime. Modjeska, and one of the foremost bridge engineers in the country. This firm also drew up the specifications of the Hurri- cane gulch structure, and Mr. Angler made trip to Interior Alaska two years ago purposely to select the bridge sites and determine the kind of bridges required. He arrived in April, 1920, intending to remain to make a study of conditions during the breakup, but his stay was cut short by the coming of the flu cpl demic. :.-
 The Panama river bridge, Mr. An- gier says, will be a simple straight truss structure, with the second longest span in the world, the long est being the Metropolis, Illinois bridge, with span of 720 feet.
 Mir. Angler believes that Alaska has substantial future ahead of it. And he thinks the location of Nenana is such that the town will share largely in any development that may come in the Interior. The permanency and growth of the town however, in his opinion, will depend to lasge extent, upon the degree of enterprise shown by Nenanaites. He believes the opportunity is here if they will take advantage of it.
 Conservation, in the opinion of the engineer, has had much to do with retarding the development of the territory. He believes the same opportunities should be given for the development of the territory, as were given to those who pioneered the way to the Pacific coast. Why" he pointed out by way of illustra- ton, "you can't even take up a de- cent-size homestead in Alaska, and the Government makes you obtain permit to take an old brown bear skin out of the territory These re- strictions, and others, he thinks, tend to keep people out of the country. Development is bound to come in any event, he thinks, but the opening up of the country would be much more rapid ard more gen. orally satisfactory were a liberal policy to be adopted by the Govern ment.
 Mr. Angler left for the coast this morning on his way back to his headquarters in Chicago. He is about through with his work with the Alaskan Engineering Commission as consulting engineer, and when next he comes to Alaska, which he hopes to do, it will be to view the completed work of the railroad or ganization and that of his firm.
