Road—Reception Tendered Tonight
The revenue cutter MeCullougli
arrived in town this morning with
iIn railway commission onboard,
tying up at the Valdez dock.
The commission, composed of
Maj. Jay Morrow, U. S. A., chair
man; Alfred H. Brooks, of the
Geological Survey, Leonard M.
Cox and Collin McCrea Ingersoll,
were met at the dock by Col. Wills'
P. Richardson. Immediately af
ter they were met by a commit
tee of the chamber of commerce
composed of Fred M. Brown, Ar
thur Lang, James Fish, Jesse
Martin, Paul d'Heirry and C. E.
Bunnell and welcomed to the city.
Arrangements were then made to
have the members of the com
mission meet the general public
at an informal reception to be
held tliis evening in ilie court
house at 8:3ft o'clock, to which
everyone is invited to attend.
The commission immediately,
upon their arrival here, busied
themselves from the south, after
which they went over the arran
gements made for them on their
interior trip by Col. Richardson.
The arrangements had not been
consumated this forenoon, furth
er. than that the commission would
go over the government road and
would bo accompanied by Henry
Deyo, who has surveyed a railroad
route from Port Valdez into the
interior.
The commission will not leave
Valdez until the day after tomor
row at Ihe earliest, as they have
their correspondence to attend to
and wish to outfit before taking
the long trip in this wet weath
er. Arrangements have been
made with Ihe Signal Corps to
bulletin in reports of Ihe weather
ahead.
Tomorrow at noon the members
of the commission will visit Ft.
Liscum as the guests of Col.
O'Neil.
The kind offices of the roa.l
commission has proved a boon to
the members of the railway com
mission, as they find most of the
arrangements for their trip into
.the interior already prepared for
them.
The commission intended to
stay at Katalla one day longer,
hut as a southwester was coming
up they decided it the pari of dis
cretion to he aboard their vessel
and make for the open sea before
sound hint? happened.
The commission visited Valdez
before Cordova, evidently feeling
thai it I hey went by way of Cop
per river I hey might not be able
to mako. the round trip in time to
make out Iheip report by the 2ml
of December, while the govern
ment road was open a I all time*
of the year.
It is to be hoped nil our citizens
will attend the reception to be
tendered the Alaska Railway Com
mission at the court, house this
evening al 8:30 o'clock. The ladies
are specially requested to attend.
The affair will be purely informal.
