Immense Benefit Expected From Alaskan Railroad
The Alaska railroad nearing completion after eight years and 56 million dollars of work spans 467 miles from Seward to Fairbanks. The line is already in operation along its length and is expected to generate nearly one million dollars yearly as it boosts mineral, coal, gas, and timber industries, fisheries, and homesteading by enabling year round transport and cheaper goods. Bridges like the Nenana span and Hurricane Gulch highlight the project advancements amid harsh conditions. Broad Pass marks the highest point at 2400 feet.

Old Boiler Gives Custodian of City Hall Much Trouble
John Whing, custodian of the city hall, supervised the removal of a large discarded boiler from a basement through a small window after two days of failed attempts with sledgehammers. Ehrig enlisted prisoners to break the boiler apart and clear debris, aided by acetylene torches to reduce the drum to 12 inch squares for disposal. Moonshine still parts found in the basement were smashed and added to the junk pile.
