A local minister asked | s how cold it was Sunday night and we didn’t dare tell him what we| thought_for fear that he would tell others friends and then they might not ever.speak to. us again. “~You Know What We Thought— Even the Air Ts Rare I “What is so rare as a day in June?” ;!

It was built by United State government army engineers. A typical construction problcm whs ' thev spanning ‘of the Susitna river, which, like many othars of the proj- ‘ect, demanded new departures in en- gineering, .~ The bridge span is of : steel, 504 feet in length and together with its two approaches is 1,322 feet long, the largest of its kind on the railroad. Icc reaches cnormous heights in the Susitna during the spring break up, as was shown by the searad and broken trees along ‘its banks and the scarred Tocks of its canyons; so that sustaining piers in midstream were out of the giestion—timbers would be crushed like straws and concrete fare little better under the tremen- dous pressure of the ice pack. A !ong span was decided upon and its building is a story in itsclf. Supplies had to be freighted by cleds on the ice until the river broke and the jams had ‘crushed their way down stream then oy boats down the current of the swirling, treacherous river, or by wagon on ncwly made roads. Picks and shovel gangs sup- plemented machinery, while 8-inch pumps operated conpit and the low temperature of the work. A glacial moraine 56 miles away furnished the sand and gravel. ' Special measures were necessary in placirfg concrete in the main piers of the approaches, the porous boulder and gravel formation allowing wa- ter to force itself through to the floor | of the pit and the low temperature of | the water making it impossible -to ! place concrete in.it by bucket or pipe methods. A large sheet of canvas was prepared sufficient to cover the: hottom are, extending up the sides of the enclosure where it was “formed in” by wooden supports to provide a runway around the edges. Steam pipes were placed around the sides of the pit enclosure and then the entire space was housed in and made warm. The sand and gravel were heated by being dumped on platforms holding steam pipes and hot water was used in mixing. The concrete was poured at times when the thermometer regis- tered 36 below zero. The oid route from Seattle to Fair-] banks for shipments of hay. grain and | potatoes was by steamer to St.-Mich-| ael, thence by river boats up the Yu-| kon and Tanana rivers, a distance of 3,800 miles and at a cost of $70 a! ton, or through Skagway and down| ithe Yukon and Tanana at a cost of | $66. Over the new railroad these ar-| ticles can be shipped, according to| government figures, at a saving of | $40 a ton, 2,000 niiles in transporta- tion, and three weeks in time. As the new line drew nearer com- | pletion, the government ‘began hand- [!ing traffic to be transported over the intervening stretch of unfinisheq road | by various means.” The reduction in transportation cost has already been | reflected in prices at Fairbanks. Beéf | has dropped 25 cents a pound; oats | dropped from $140 to $70 a ton, and | wood, costing $130 a cord, was re-| lp"la_ce(_i by lignite coal delivered at ‘airbauiks for $6 a ton. Because of this gn‘ormous saving, the buying pow- er of Alaskans is being augmented. The railroad wili add agriculture to the mining and fishing resources that have made Alaska famous. The in- terior is ‘alveady being tilled and to- day Fairbanks is grinding flour from wheat ‘grown there. The possibility of oil .wells “coming in” is not re- mote. : The government maintains an ex- periment ‘station ii:dthls region; tur- nips, potatoes and root vegetable: thrive.s- In the Chilkat vnlliy?gfzt huve former a company to.can | lus berries and-vegetables. g has begon. | ¥ era in Alaska’s prospi is’ predicted -with the complction nggfiils n;!Wfl]‘iflB ofdcon;‘mnnicnfmn; the "land of the midnight - sun” will emerge fromgits desolation and its romnniu and adventure make way for-the more pProsnic pursuits of commerce.

Our boys breathe the spirit of lib- erty, though we older ones may often stop and argue whén the tople comes up. On a fence in‘an eastern city in u peighborhood where the boy popula- tion is large appegrs this legend in | paint: “We want the freedom of the block.” The police have forbidden the boys to play inthe street. OUne other protest survives among many. that have been obliterated. It ds: “No noise. Beware of the cranks.” There we have it, the youth- ful opinion of Us fussy older people who are always cavorting about. noise. In what stage of adolescence’is the line drawn where one ceases to enjoy noise—nay, does not even notice it? What is the matter with our auditory nerves that at a_certain age they grow S0 sensitive? t ten, at twelve, at fourteen, all noises are endurable, even delightfui—the louder the better; and then, just as the reason of the Fourth of July becomes comprehensible und we know why we celebrate, our eyes are opened to-the folly of our accus- tomed ways of celebrating it. We ought to find a better way of bauishing noise than by banishing the boys. We may not see and hear our way clear to giving them “the freedom of the blocky but are we not in duty bound to provide them with “blocks” where they may find “self-expression?” Perhaps every “gang” of boys is en- titled to a 40-acre lot in which to “hol- ler.”—F. H. Collier, in St. Louis Globe- Democrat, _— How ‘Man Spoils the Air. “\yindows open more would keep doctors from the door.” A very large quantity of fresh air is spoiled and rendered foul by the act of breathing. A man spoils not less than a gallon every minute. In eight hours' breath- ing a full-grown man spoils as much fresh aivr as seventeen three-bushel sacks could hold. If he were shut up ! in a voom seven feet broad, seven feet long and seven feet high, the doors and windows fitting so tightly that no air could pass through. he would die poisened by his own breath, in a very few hours; in twenty-four hours he would have, spoiled all the air con- tained in the room, and have convert- ed it into poist Picturesque Scene on 0ld East lndian} Highway. Customs and Costumes of the Past and Present Mingled in Kalei- -doscopic . Procession. ‘The great highway which runs from the Khyber pass in the far northiest of India to Calcutta-in the Far East | is a kaleidoscope ‘of the colors and the customs of the past and present, writes Temple Manning in the Cleve- land Plain Dealer. On this great road are to be seen ox teams, caravans and camels from Afghanistan dodging huge, snorting, motor trucks and light American and European cai's. At a glance one might think it all ‘a circus en route, because even the elephants are there. ° Parallel to this road is a railway. One of the most interesting places along the line is Lahore, the capital of Punjab. It is called “The City of the Thirteen Gates.” The railway sta- tion in Lahore resembles a fort, and so picturesque is. it that one-can al- most imagine it being besieged.by an- cient oriental watriors. On leaving the station one is struck by the spirit of the place. It is still the East, even if there are sandwlch men advertising American moving | pictures. The bustling city, with its crowded'| bazaars and towering mosques, is very beautiful. It is surrounded by lovely gardens, which form a green circle around the city, the only break being the dusty section near the Ravi. river. In Lahore is the beautiful palace { of mirrors, where thousands of tiny | mirrors, set in plaster, form the dec- orations of. the walls and ceiling. Here a single tandle will {lluminate | the jnterior with myriads of glisten-| ing Tlights like a many-sied diamond ] turned inside out. The streets are crowded with the gayly-dressed inhabitants. As in most countries, ‘the color ‘is ‘given by the women’s dress. The average woman of Lahore wears a white waist re- sembling a Russian blouse, spoiless white trousers of the baggy Turkish variety, and last but not least, a waist- coat like a man’s with ‘checks—great big checks. I * The belles of Lahore weight down their hands with. rings, and also their noses. Sometimes the ‘mose ring ‘is worn jauntily in one mostril, in the same manner that a hat is put on a rakish angle. Their arms are heavy with bracelets, and invariably nowa- days each girl's arm is adorned with an American wrist watch, The wrist watches are -an amusing touch, and dispel the oriental effect in the mind of the traveler who .expects to see only what he has read of in old books. Some of our girls who think they are very devilish and advanced he- cause they roll. down their stockings or even wear socks, are behind the times compared with thelr sisters of Lahore. For in Lahore the men welr stockings, and for centuries the girls have worn socks. = The following | of increase over the ‘E“ _PASTEUR § = s = = = £ = | Lt _ From Your De'al.e}rf : 'KOORS BROTHERS CO.
