WE HAVE NOT EXAGGERATED.
The question ;is to which is thevbet
ter route to the interior, and more
especially to that part which com
prises the uewly discovered gold
tields of the Chisana, is agitating
three towns 011 the Alaskan coast,
viz: Skagway, Valdez and Cordova.
So far as we know, with the excep
tion possibility of the one through
Haines and over the old Dalton trail
these are the only routes which of
fer any chauce whatever of getting
over the coast range of mountains
during the winter season.
Or" course, we of Skagway Know,
as does every well informed old
timer, that the Skagway-Whitehorse
route offers more inducements to
travelers in the way of safety, free
dom from snow blockade and short
er distance than either of the oth
ers, but it is hard, and some times
utterly impossible to convince people
of the truth who are not familiar
with the conditions. They have
been told, and we are not prepared
nor do we care to dispute the cor
rectness of the figures, that from
the tnd of the Copper River & Nort
western Railroad to the diggings is
only 7S miles. They don't stop to
consider that in order to reach that
point from Seattle they must trav
el 1700 miles, and that the 78 miles
that remain to be covered are vast
ly more to be dreaded than is the
long journey there from the shores
of Puget Sound; neither do they
stop to consider that by the time
they have reached the end of the
C. R. & X. W. railroad they will
have traveled 260 miles further
than is the entire distance from Se
attle to the Chisana by the Skag
way, Whitehorse, Kluane lake route.
Each of the towns of Valdez
and Cordoa are laying claims to of
fering the br-st and easiest mpans of
accer? to t"» inter: ior bu<- th^ir
claims are nut substantial by facts,
inir are they susceptible of proof
as to their truthfulness. To show
our readers that we nave not ex
aggerated the conditions that have
existed over these westward trails
in the winter in times past, and we
have no reason to believe that
they are improved this season, we
beg to call your attention to the
following from a. recent issue of a
Valdez paper:
"A letter from the westward an
nounces that forty men will leave
for Valdez this week en route to
th.e interior. Why don't these old
Alaskans go to Cordova and ride in
over the railroad? They have prob
ably been snow bound up oil the
Copper River some time in the past
and wish to steer clear of that
hurricane belt"
And here is another, equally as
Interesting, from the Alaska Times
Cordova:
"It would appear from the follow
ing telegram received by the Times
on Nov. 27 that some of the federal
officials rye going to some length
to boost uie Valdez routo of travel
and force travelers into unnecessary
haidship ana danger. The message
was as follows:
Thompson Pass, Nov. 27, '13.
Times:
Cordova, Alaska.
"Deputy marshal from Valdez
served me with subpoena, forced me
to take Valdez trail instead of rail
road. Am snowbound on summit
wi'li horse. Came one hundred fif
ty miles. Suffered great hardships.
(Signed) Mrs. Stevens.
"The facts in this case should
be investigated, and if it is found
that some official has taken upon
himself to force witnesses to travel
over an uncertain trail when they
could make the trip comfortably in
a railway coach, he is not a fit
person to entrust with public duties
and should be dismissed.
"This matter should be looked in
to at once. There are times when
even the easiest mode of travel in
Alaska is bad euought without hav
ing some zealous official dictate to
travelers how they must go."
