Frozen Tundra, Huge ItfK-W Barriers. Difficult Moun tain ac Conquered. ANCHORAGE. Alaska. Feb. 4. .iis of steel on the Alaska govern ment railroad were brought together by the completion of the Riley creek br'dge. February 1. 14 days ahead of the engineer's estimates. The cers mony of driving the "Kolden spike." which hurt been orieirallv planned for that time, bas been deferred until soma time during the proposed Alaska trio of President Harding and EMrstxrr Fall next summer. A scarcity of roiling stock makes it im possible to run at the present time the. excursion from all towns along t&e road originally planned. Closing of tho last gap between ends of steel on the Alaska govern ment railroad marks practical com pletion bf one of the most difficult . engineering projects undertaken - by the United States government. With the placing in service- of tho Riley creek bridge, last unit. with, the ex ception of tho steel bridge over the Tuana river at Nenana. through train service will be possible between Saward, at tho bead of Resurrection feayi a-nd Fairbanks. Great Difficulties Caaqaered. Starting late in 1914. swamps, frosen tundra, huge rock barriers and difficult mountain passes were met and conquered. As a preliminary en gineers who pioneered the work ven built their own ocean docks. They had not even wagon roads to help them. Everything used in construc tion had to be shipped from Seattle, the nearest point in the continental United States. 177S miles to the southward. Th railroad was constructed from three operating bases. Seward, on Resurrection bay. the southern ter minus of the lino; Anchorage, the main operating bas at the head of navigation on Cook inlet. 114 miles north of Seward, and Fairbanks, the northern terminus. , A spur runs from Fairbanks to Chatanika. 39 miles to tho north. Construction, of the road was delegated to the war department, tho actual details being turned over to tho ALaska Engineer ing commission. Tho approximate cost of the lino totaled about J56.- J 000.000. The old railroads, tho Alaska Northern, from Seward to Cook Inlet, and the Nenana railroad, running be twern Fairbanks and Chatanika, were purchased as preliminary steps. Seven miles of tho latter road, which cost the government $300,003. were used Tho Alaska Northern was purchased at a cost of f 1,137.833. ."New Grade Coaatrarted. Only a section of tho Alaska North ern, right-of-way could be used. After the Spencer summit, 53 miles north of Seward, was reached It became necessary to - abandon - much of the grade and construct the road anew. From the point where the road en lered Anchorage valley. 61 miles from the town of Anchorage, the right of way was blasted out of almost solid rock. To advance the work it was necessary to swing suspension bridges across deep chasms, build trails and wagon roads along high cliffs. Deep snows were battled and rock fills were constructed along rushing streams. In winter materials were hauled across the ice on sleda. When the ice broke up ferries took their chances with the swift currents and breaking lea ' Typical of difficulties encountered was the construction of the Susitna river bridge, 1322 feet in length. ISO miles north of Anchorage. During tho preliminary examinations engi neers found white marks and scars high up on the trunks of trees, indi cating that the ice reached great heights during the spring breakup. Timber or concrete piers would not be able to withstand the heavy crush ef ice and flood waters. These con ditions led engineers) to decide upon a 604-foot span without supporting piers. Building it was another thing, but finally it was completed after Arrange Birthday Kvent! j Arrangements are being completed fcr the annual observance of Abra I'am Lincoln's birthday.

In stalled modern sanitary arrange ments, commissaries for food and clothing and performed all the func tions usually falling to the lov of camps and towns that follow private railroad construction. To do this- the commission assumed the responsibili ties of civil government. At Anchor age a townslte was laid out. streets and sidewalks constructed and elec tric lighting plants and waterworks were Installed and a hospital waa built. Later these facilites were du pMcated at other points on a smaller scale. From the railroad building the commission branched into coal min ng. tapping the Chikaioon fields. 37 m lifts from Anchorage, and the coal thus obtained was used both in con struction work and for the civilian population of the various camps. In some places sawmills were estab lished. In 1919 trains began regular sched ules between Seward and Anchorage and to operate over the stretch of roadbed northward from Anchorage.
