Army Engineers Opening Last Great Frontier; Difficult Task.

HEADQUARTERS, ALASKA DEFENSE COMMAND, Nov. 24 (U. P.). —U. S. army engineers were open-

ing the nation’s last great frontier today in the construction of an expanding railroad and highway system to crash Alaskan transportation barriers. Here are the latest developments in the military scheme to open Alaska’s interior and connect it by overland routes with the United States: 1. U. 8S. army location engineers arrived in Eskimo villages and Indian camps equipped to plot the tricky surface of the interior northland and find the most solid grade to carry a railroad to be linked with lines in Canada and the United States. 2. The near-completion of a 13,-000-foot tunnel—fourth largest on any American railroad—which, with a 12-mile cutoff through the Chugah mountain range, will reduce by 52 miles the haul from the Gulf of Alaska to Anchorage and eliminate a 64-mile mountain spur through heavy snow country.

Formal Opening Held

3. The formal opening of the new Alcan highway on Soldiers Summit between Whitehorse, Y. T., and Fairbanks. 4. The announcement by the Alaska highway commission of the completion of a connection between the Richardson highway from Valdez to Fairbanks and the Alcan road. A railroad connection with the United States always has been an Alaskan dream and last summer, wind tanned army engineers pushed a survey line through the wilds of northern Canada. The survey route remains a military secret, but closelipped army officers speak of the aid it will give on completion in hauling men and materiel to Alaskan bases and Russia without the threat of submarines. The engineers.call the project “the Victory road,” and willingly face the hazards of sub-arctic winter to chart the course for the steel ribbon. They gave no indication when completion of the proposed line could be expected.

Party’s Election Expense Topped Republicans’ By $17,500.

If the election results were based upon the amount of money spent for campaign ballyhoo and poll workers, the Democrats would have won in the Nov. 3 balloting here. Expense statements of the county committees, on file in the county clerkis office today, showed that the Democrats spent $17,500 more than the Republicans. The Democratic committee listed its total receipts for the last six months at $77,573 and its expenditures at: $70,993, leaving a balance of $6500 in the treasury to prepare for the 1944 campaigns. The G. O. P. committee collected $54,260 from individual contributors and listed its expenses at $53,418, leaving a balance of only $802.

List $16,000 Debt

However, the G. O. P, statement listed a $16,000 debt in the form of a note in favor of the American National bank carried over from the 1940 campaign. Edwin Steers Sr., treasurer of the G. O. P. committee, specified that the obligation was incurred before he took office as treasurer last May. The Democrats had more workers at the polling places election day than the Republicans and paid them better. The Democrats listed the names of about 4000 “messengers” on duty at the polls at base pay of $4 while! the Republicans had only 3300 poll | workers and paid them only $3] a day. . Both statements listed payments to precinct committeemen and ward | chairmen of from $5 to $25 each for election day expenses.

500 on Payroll The Republican statement listed

roll in September and October for checking registrations at $10 each.

The largest contribution shown in the G. O. P. county statement was $2500 from Henry E. Ostrom, the county chairman. Mayor-elect Robert H. Tyndall gave $1000; Robert W. Lyons, $1000; Clifford Beeker, policeman who is a candidate for appointment as chief of police, $650; Charles Russell, another candidate for the chief post, $100; Harry H. Fulmer, fire chief, $100; Burrell] Wright, $150, and Joseph Daniels, | $100. What Candidates Gave

The Republican candidates gave! amounts ranging from $250 to $500. By long tradition, Democratic candidates, especially those running| for the higher paying offices, made contributions averaging about $1000! each. All the candidates for judgeships, which pay $10,000 a year, were listed for $1000 to the county committee in addition to their personal cam-| paign expenses.
