Completion of the Alaskan railroad adds another figure to the West's big rajiroad bulldera, To Lieut. Col.

Gen. Goethals, | Panama canal bullder, selection of | the military member. ASKED MEARS AS CHIEF And Goethals recommended Lieut Col. Mears, corpse of engineers, the man who in eight years’ connection with the Panama canal had risen from railway location and construc tion work to bead of the entire canal sone railway system. The president's investigation dis | closed that Mears, tho in the regular | army's most enviable branch, was no West Pointer. Instead, the youth who had learned railroading in the Far West had won a cavalry com. mission while in the ranks in the| Philippines. By engineering know! edge and hard study he came into the engineer corps. Construction started from Anchor. age, on Cook's inlet, 71 miles north of Seward. From here construction moved both north and south. Exist ing railroads were bought where fea» ible, rebuilt and made part of the system. In 1916 construction was also started south from the northern terminus, supplies for this going in over the long river route. The war sent Mears to France as commander of the 3ist Engineers When he returned, after being tn charge of Ameri army railway systems, Mears found Riggs had re-| signed from the commission to be. come Alaska’s governor; Kades was |~ ready to quit, owing to fll health Prices of materials had trebled; trans portation to move it north | searcer than ever, And the war took | J trol of the Alaskan railroad wWork—!
