TARIFF RAISES ARE FORECAST BY COL. OHLSON E owmy Alaska Railroad’s General Manager Predicts High- er Rates Shortly (Continuea 1rom Page One) eight department. It is un- dertaking to assist coal producers in the Matanuska field to find a wider market for their products. It believes from 90,000 to 150,000 tons more of coal can be mined and sold in the Territory every year than is now being done. This season 800 tons of coal were delivered to the Office of Educa- tion for various schools for the first time. The coal is giving perfect satisfaction. Other bureaus using coal will be induced to give Alaska coal preference. And eventually when proper facilities for delivering a first class product are provided, it is hoped to extend the market to cover the whole of Alaska. Cut in Force Drastic reductions were made in the railroad’s forces during the past summer, Col. Ohlson said. This was occasioned solely by a loss in reve- nues from passenger and freight traffic rather than by the visita- tion of the Senate Committee. Last winter, to alleviate unem- ployment and to do work that was deemed necessary, *an abnormally large force was employed.

Store GEORGE BROTHERS, Props. | PHONE 454 last June some 600 men have been dropped from the payrolls. Many men were given work in repairing rolling stock and motive | power units, as well as in the track department which has been vigorously prosecuting its program of rehabilitation commenced two |is in fine years ago. The road's equipment i condition. It now has| |all steel passenger coaches and! pullmans, with only two wooden ob- servation cars remaining in use. The | steel rolling stock is good for a |30-year period. It was necessary| to purchase this stock to replace ob- solete wooden coaches that were no| longer safe to use, | Continue Betterments | It is not planned to let down on| the rehabilitation of the road. This consists of ditching, bank widen- !ing, ballasting with gravel and grade raising, all of which will reduce 1hxgn maintenance costs and result |in economic as well as other bene- fits, such as hazards of accidents| and increasing the speed at which| trains operate, thus eliminating | overtime charges. Good progress has |been made in this work. There |remain 210 miles of roadway to be covered on the whole system. After this has been done, a saving an- nually of $160,000 in maintenance charges is expected to be eflected.| The short working season limits| the amount of rehabilitation that can be done annually, gangs being | kept in the field from the end of| May to the end of September each‘ year. | The management is also consider- ing the filling of numerous short| | wooden bridges and replacing them | with concrete culverts. There are| 11 miles of such replacements un- der consideration. This winter, | one such improvement is being| made at Mile 49.3 north of Seward. ,The road has had much trouble |at that point, the bridge having been carried away on three differ- lent occasions. A gravel sidefill is| Ibeing put in which is expected to| |eliminate repetitions of this trou- ble. | Damage by High Water | some damage was done to the| roadbed in recent weeks by high water, Col. Ohlson pointed out. | Eighty feet of approach was wash- |ed out on the north bank of the | |Nenana River at Ferry; 4,000 feet of the mainline of the Suntrana | coal branch was carried away; two {of the mine’s tracks, its coal tipple| land a large amount of lumber | |swept away; slides in the Nenana |River Canyon between Healy and McKinley Park Station occurred\' at several points, necessitating the| use of the ditcher and repair gangs| |to clear the track and get trains| | through. | Col. Onison was conferring here with Gov. Parks and other Fed- |eral bureau chiefs. He will return to Anchorage at once, and after |spending 30 days there will make 'his annual trip to Washington to discuss next year's operations with the Secretary of Interior.

From the alarm box on the City Dock a fire signal was given shortly after 6 o'clock. Equipment was rushed to the scene by the force that sleeps in the Hall, and volunteers from the vicinity fo the Alaska Juneau mine to the neighborhood of the Seatter Tract responded promptly, singly and in groups. Firemen swarmed over, on and under the dock and climbed into 'and around nearby buildings, but‘ AUTUMNAL EQUINOX OCCURS TOMORROW Tomorrow the sun will cross the equator on its southward journey.
