Alaska Coal Helps In War,
The Alaska raflroad from Seward,
on the coast, to Fairbanks, 470 miles
inland and located on the Tanana
river, a navigable tributary of the Yu«
kon, which was ordered by act of
congress In 1014, has been completed
far enough to Justify the expectation
that it will be ready for use early in
1018. It taps two coal mines, the Ma-
tanuska and the Nenana, which are
believed to be inexhaustible, and the
product of which has been found exe
cellent for use on locomotives and
steamboats. The railroad wi'l bring
this conl direct to tidewater, and when
the supply is brought into use, it will
provide sufficient for all naval bases
in the Pacific and release thousands
of cars now used in transporting coal
ncross the continent. This will help
fight the war by providing increased
transportation for men and munitions,
