BIG TIE CONTRACTS LET

The Alaskan Engineerig commits sion has just let contracts to various concerns for furnishing 165,O0O cross tics for use in replacements along the line.
 These ties will be cut near Hope on Turnagain Arm, on Knight island, on I,atouche island, other places in Prince William sound, and elsewhere in the general vicinity of the railroad. The timber immediately contiguous to the railroad is becoming very scarce which makes it necessary for some or the contractors to go as far away as Prince William sound These ties will be brought by barge to Seward, ana from thence distributed along the rail road.
 Many of the ties in the Alaska Tall road have been in use for seven or eight years, and this is about the length of life in this climate for a na- tive untreated tie. Accordingly the commissions program includes the re- newal of these ties next season ana subsequent seasons will see the re- newal of others as they become de- cayed.

OFFICIALS IN SMASH-UP


 While proceeding to Bird Point a few days ago, in Ford gas car, Wm. Gerig, assistant chief engineer, and F. A. Hansen, engineer maintenance and construction, met an extra work | train in head-on collision at Mile 95h on curve. The work train was in charge of Conductor Galloway and En- 1 gineer Elmes and was running at about fifteen miles per hour; the motor car was running at between twenty and twenty-five miles per hour.
 The men in the motor car saw the smoke from the locomotive when per haps 150 feet away, threw on the brakes and jumped for their lives. In his haste MT. Gerig made an unstis- factory landing and rolled down a 25- foot embankment, painfully lacerating otherwise bruised and shocked MT. Hansen, who left on the bluff side of the track was more fortunate and re ceived only bruises. They were both brought to Anchorage on the work train, and after examination and treat ment of MT. Gerig at the hospital both went to their homes.
 The Ford car was almost a complete wreck, the front end of the locomotive 
 was considerably damaged, and MT. Hansen's dog Sport, riding in the mo- tor car at the time, received wounds from which he died next morning.
 It is rather difficult for those famil- far with the conditions at that point and with the other circumstances, to understand why the accident did not result more seriously. Accurate cal culation determines the fact that only five seconds elapsed from the time smoke was seen until the impact.
 The motor car left Anchorage under protection of the afternoon passenger train for Seward and all went well as long as same kept close behind the train. Trouble with the fan mile or so above Potter and heavy head-on wind on Turnagain arm caused delay more delay in fact than realized and the dispatcher having no knowl- edge that the motor car was on the line permitted the extra work train to leave Rainbow proceeding toward Anchorage. Just two miles north or Rainbow they met.
 Both Messrs. Gerig and Hansen were able to be at their desks next day and receive the congratulations of their 1 friends

EXPERT TELLS
RIGHT Time TO
START GARDEN
Temperature Factor Must Be
Taken Into Consideration When
Planting.

| Urbana, Ill, March 16.-The
home gardener can greatly increase
the number of vegetables that can
be grown successfully if he takes
into consideration the "tempera-
ture factor" when planting, Charles
B. Sayre of the olerciulture depart
ment of the University of Illinois
said today. Some vegetables thrive
in cool weather and a cool soil.
while others grow successfully only
after the weather and soil have be-
come warm later in the season, he
pointed out
every frequently the home gard
ener is greatly disappointed in the
production of certain vegetables
due to poor judgment in the time
and method of planting" said Mr.
Sayre. Some gardeners wait until a
! nice balmy day in May and then
take a day off to make garden and
plant all the vegetables at once.
Other gardeners with a mania for
earliness will plant their entire
garden just as early as the ground
can be worked in the spring. Meth
er type of gardener is likely to get
maximum results from his garden.
1.-The one who delayed his plant
ing until settled warm weather
probably will get a good yield of
the warm season crops, but fail en-
tirely with the early cool season
crops such as lettuce, spinach,
radishes.. peas, etc. The early gard
ener. however, should get excellent
results with the cool season crops,
but the seed of the warm season
crops such as beans, sweet corn,
melons and squashes, when planted
too early is likely to rot in the
soil or to produce poor stunted
plants of inferior yield and quail
ity.
THE successful gardener should
therefore group his vegetables ac-
cording TO their temperature re-
quirements and plant each group at
the time the conditions are most
likely TO occur. The Importance OF
planting vegetables at the right
time is not appreciated by most
gardeners.
In OT0er 10 get tue OSSt IcSuIIS'
cool season crops should be planted
just as early as the ground can be
worked in the spring. In this first
planting may be included leaf let
tuce, garden cress, spinach. mus
tard. radishes. turnips, kohlrabi.
peas. onions and early potatoes.
The following vegetables may be
planted at this earliest planting or
they may be planted 10 days or two
weeks later: Beets, parsnips. salsi-
fly. chard, parsley and New Zealand
spinach.
THE warm season crops should
not be planted until danger of
frost is past and the ground is
warm so that the seeds will ger
inmate quickly Crops that may be
planted at this time for maximum
yields are sweet corn. green beans, |
lima beans. melons, cucumbers
and squashes The warm season
transplanted crops such as toma- |
toes, peppers. egg plant and sweet
potatoes should not be set in the |
garden until the weather is settled !
