COMPLETING A GREAT
RAILROAD

While President Harding is IL
Alaska he will drive the golden spike
that marks the completion of a line
OF railroad that has been under con
structfon for ten years. 1t cuts
| across the country from a central
position on the southern coast al
Valdez, to the region lying north
of the Tanana (Ta-na-naw, accent
the Tam river which is the greatest
tributary of the Yukon.
This is one of the cases where the
railroad has been built by the gov
eminent instead of private parties
building it at government expense
on the bouns system, and then hav-
ing 1t owned by the individuals. 1t
was agitated during Roosevelt's and
Taft's administrations, and construc-
ton was begun about when the
World War began. 1t has taken
longer to build it than it did to build
the Pacific railroads eighteen hun
dred miles across the great plains,
the American desert and several
ranges of mountains.
Some of the difficulties Of con-
struction have been shown on the
movies, one scene being a bridge
that was built across the Tanana
resting the timbers of the false work
on the ice, and the ice started to
move before the bridge was COM
pleted, but by heroic efforts in the
face of strike among the men, the
last braces and rivits were put in
position and the work saved from
destruction. The bridge has a single
span of 702 feet, the second largest
Of its type in America, and is a
marvel of engineering achievement
Those who are familiar with the
snake river bridge west of Blackfoot
IAN get correct idea of the Tanana
bridge and it's one span by allow
ng for span almost a half longer
han the five spans of the Snake
liver bridge. And when it was not
lutte completed the ice began to
move at the rate of about an inch
day, the workmen went on a strike.
Ind a woman took the riveting ma
thine and kept it working while the
asst of the riveters fed at the ap-
preaching danger of an attack by
he strikers and the crashing of the

Laughter Killed Love.

I thought quite a lot Of a little
neighbor boy. One day while over
there visiting, l was standing in the
dining room watching his mother
scrub and talking to both of them.
All at once his mother said watch

stepped back quickly. Alas! tub Of
water was directly behind me and
sat down in it. Ny little friend
laughed at me till he couldn't laugh
any longer. My love for him died

Now the joint they finished under
such conditions, is holding, and car

spoken of as Stewards folly" and

for generation has yielded about
that much in minerals every sixty
