L. Dlckeson of the W, P. * T. R.
to Skagway early last woek He has
been ao busily engaged la holding
conferences with the heads of the
various departments of the system
that it has been «n impossibility
for him to find time to (Ire out
anything for publication until today,
when a Dally Alaskan representa
tive caught him with a few minutes
leisure and gleaned thp following
brief synopsis of the business out
look for the present season.
Said President Dlckeson: "In
respect to genera] business condi
tions: The Trelght traffic moving Yla
Skagway this year should be much
larger than last year. Thi* neces
sitates more frequent service out
of Whltehorse and laducca a much
more frequent service on on the
ocean to -Skagway. This also
serves to afford the travelling pub
lic a much faster and superior ser
vice than has heretofore prevailed.
There Is an average of one passen
ger boat a day lato Sk«gway, and
on account of much of the traffic
being moved via the Interior route l
will give the recipients of freight Ut
the Lower River country a much
earlier delivery of their goods."
..In reply to an Inquiry as to how
he viewed the building of a govern
ment wagon road from Skagway to
the summit of the White Pass to
connect there with a Canadian built
government road to the interior, he
said:
"The W. P. & Y. R. never have,
are not now, and do sot expect in
the future to oppose or restrict in
any way whatsoever t&o proposed
construction of an automobile road
from Skagway to Summit Quite to
the contrary, while the Brackett
wagon road cost the company ap
proximately 1100,000, ws surrender
ed our rights, except to such por
tions aa are occupied by the rail
way right of way, without any pro
test. This should not In any way
interfere wltfc the construction of
an automobile road. We have also
assisted the parties making tenta
tive survey by firing them free ac
cess to our record# in res poet to
surveys."
President Dlckeson will go to
Whltehorse sometime this week to
see hew things are moving along
there and will then, in the courae
of the next tea days or two weeks,
leave for an extended trip to the
interior. On his travels he will
visit DawBon, Fairbanks, St. Mich
ael and Nome and many of the in
termediate points between Skagway
aud the mouth of the Yukon river.
