One-Way Traffic by
Fall Of 1850

A call for bids went out Monday
on the joint 12-mile railroad-high-
way project along Turnagain Arm,
the Alaska Railroad Engineering
Department announced.
The joint bench, the king pin in
the Seward to Anchorage road
system, will be finished by Sept. |,
1851. The contract orders compile
ton of the highway section to per
nit one-Way traffic by Nov. |, 1850.
The new railroad ght-of-Way,
closer to the water, will be finished
by Sept /, 1850.
All work will be under the ARR s
direction.
Available for the job is S2,800,00o,
according to the invitation to bid.
Additional funds have been sought
from Congress, but have not as yet
been granted. No work will be Or
dered which can't be paid for from
the allotted money, the call for
bids pointed out.
The joint highway bench will
move. along a precipitous toe Of
the mountain path between tow
ering rock cliffs and Turnagain
Arm from the vicinity of Indian or
Mile 887 to Potter or Mile 1905.
Survey work has been going on
through the winter and big yellow
surveyors marks have been paint
ed on the sides of rocks along the
new route.
The plan OF action is this:
The new railroad right-of-
will go down first. The ARR chose
the bench side closer to the water
deliberately SO that it can haul
armor rock in ballast cars The r.
mile stretch must be fortified With
rock to protect it against strong
Turnagain Arm tides. Amor rock
viii be hauled from an ARR pit al
Eklutna since the rock in the Pot
ter-Indian area is not sufficiently
tough for the Job.
Trains WILL of course, continue
to operate along the old right-of-
way while this phase is going on.
When it is finished, the railroad
will switch operations to the new
right
Work will then begin on the

Face Traffic When
Walking on Highway.
Warn Officials

Both the Seward police and the
Alaska Highway Patrol have asked
that pedestrians be reminded to
travel on the left side of the road
when walking. This makes it pos
sible for the pedestrian to see ap-
preaching traffic on his side of the
road. This will give a measure Of
safety but it is better to keep off
the highway entirely if possible.

Highway Bench Asked

highway which will follow the old
ARR route. Track and ties will
be taken up and the ground
smoothed A 20-foot highway will
then take shape. Turnouts will en-
able cars to proceed in both di
rections. This phase will be fin
ished by Nov. !, 1850.
The highway will then be wild
ened to 80 feet, permitting double
lane traffic.
The joint highWay-railroad bench
will link up with the highway
which is being cut now from both
directions. The Alaska Road Com
mission is putting through the road
link from Anchorage into Potter,
Max Kinney Construction Co. holds
the contract to build 10 miles of
road from the vicinity of Peters
Creek (near Portage) into Indian.
Lyle and Green won the award to
put in the 24.4 mile link that comes
up from the Kenai Peninsula.
M. p. Munter is erecting IS
bridges for this part of the road
system.
The new road takes off from the
present Seward Hope road at about
Mile Sc, mounts a low range into
the Quartz Creek area, moves down
Quartz Creek Valley and curves
around the end of the Arm into
Portage.
The Potter to Indian section is
an engineering project Of the first
magnitude. Keeping trains running
while the work goes on will be
something Of problem, Rock
slides can be set in motion by
the blasting.
The size of the project to put in
the joint bench can be gained from
some figures on material which
must be placed. 1t includes:
About 100000 cubic yards Of ex-
cavations; 1921 cubic yards of
crushed gravel highway surface:
some 5000 feet of culvert pipe of
various sizes; 2,784 feet of highway
guard rail; 686 cubic feet Of hand
placed rock embankment; 149, 1856
cubic yards of select roadway
cushion MATERIAL; 63,647 feet Of
new l15-pound rail; 6,245 feet Of
70-pound steel.
Five turnouts will be thrown
across Rainbow Creek at Mile 93.4
and Potter Creek at Mile 1901.

Plons Underway for
july 4fss Ceiebrofion
And MarGfhon Race

The worlds most grueling short
distance race will be run again Oh
July 4th on Marathon Mountain
at Seward
The shortest time for the race
up the 1922 foot Mount Marathon
and back to the starting line ca
little over a mile) was Sd minutes,
10 seconds, made by a man who
burst his lungs and died in the
Seward Sanatorium.
The longest period for the race
was something over 10 minutes.
However, the time may be affected
by such conditions as rain, mud,
wind, frost, or even the direction
Of the wind so that it is possible
for the time to vary a great deal
more than it has in the past.
Even though there should be no
more than the Is minute variation
in the time of the race, it has been
figured that with 20 runners the
chances Of picking the winner Of
the race and the exact second
would be to l9,200.
Ralph Hatch. two time winner,
has broken his own record and
Alaskans generally c0ncede that
there is no one in the Territory
who can better his time. Seward
ties don't think there is any man
in the world who can run up a
mountain faster, unless ii could be
another SeWardite.
But therell be many a runner to
try to beat Hatch's time of SO min.
II sec.
There's always the hope, too,
that it will be a rainy day and
some "mudder" will come along
to run better race under adverse
conditions.
