How wide are standard gauge
railroad tracks, and why adOptedY
Standard gauge tracks are 561s
inches wide, measured from inside
of one rail to the other. This width
was used for the first English tram
ways so as TO conform to the gauge
of the common road wagon to be
used on them. Thus, this width was
naturally selected for most of the
early steam railways and prevailed
after broader and narrower gauges
were tried. The width of narrow
gauge tracks varies from "a to 42
inches - the former used privately
in industries and the latter by
British South African roads.

 Wickersnam Entrcuuced
 The main address of the after- noon was that of James Wicker sham, of whom MT. Roden said in his introduction. He has been as- 7ociated with the development of the Territory perhaps more than any other person present today, having partaken in the development of Alaska since it's early days, aided in the securing of the railroad from Seward to Fairbanks, and been an ardent booster for the Gastineau Channel Bridge from the first days of it's early mention.
 MT. Wickersham chose for his subject the relation of the Tread
 ell mine to the development of the entire Territory Of Alaska. citing
 ae fact that the Dawson claims md the great opening of the Klon- ike were the discoveries of miners originally enn ployed at the old Treadwell mine, and that S450, ,000,- coo had thus been located in Alaska 0y Treadwell miners.
 They will tell you, he said, that Santa Claus got us this bridge, but tell you, Santa Claus had noth- ing to do with it. The Treadwell miners, with their discoveries. their initiative, and their ability to work, llcna are responsible.'
 Discussing the naming of the bridge Douglas, for the island to which it runs, MT. Wickersham re- marked that the bridge had been named so by Juneau residents be-
 suse one always names a bridge Tor the place to which it goes" Tn predicting. therefore, that Doug lss residents would soon be calling the bridge Juneau" he suggested as a solution that the new struc- ture be renamed @Cowee Bridge for the famous Aux Indian chief who befriended Joe Juneau and Richard T. Harris in their first ar rival in Gastineau Channel, and whose homesite' lay at the Juneau snd of the bridge, his placer claims at the other.
 Mention of the New Deal" and it's part in the allocation of funds by several of the speakers brought prolonged applause.
 The program was officially con- cluded with violin solo by Ed Mcintyre, and Hot Time In The Old Town Tonight" by the band.
