Asking for Survey of ||
Lower River Routes.
; A survey of the Yukon-Knskokwim j
ij portage to determine the practlcabil
I ity of connecting the two rivers by
i moans cf a barge or steamer canal.
: is the aim of House Joint Memorial
! No- 2, which was introduced this
j morning by Representative Daly. It
| is asked that such a survey be made
| by the District Rivers and Harbors
| iBoard without the 'formality of an
! tid'ditijonal hearing which 13 now tle
■ sired by the Board of Engineers in
1 Washington.
• Linking of the Knskokwim to the
• Yukcn. ft was pointed out, means
j connecting the entire Knskokwim re
■ glon with the Alaska Railroad and |
■ would benefit both the district and I
j the railroad itself by giving it ad-1
■ ditHonal tonnage.
• The situation is fiilUy covered by j
■ the mctriorlal which declares:
■ "Tliat the Act of Congress approved.
S'September 22, 1922. authorized a pre-|
■ liminary examination and survey of
: the Yukon-Ku&kokwim Portage. Al
5 aska, with a view to its improvement,
j! “That the Yukon River, which is
navigable for over 2.100 miles, and
Si the Knskokwim River, which is nat
Sjigable for over 800 miles, though they
E discharge into Bering Sea at points
E separated by about 400 miles, are
E separated about 200 miles from their
E| mouths by a distance of about 30
E' miles.
E1 “That there are tw'o routes across
E this intervening portage regularly
E used by canoes and poling boats, but
: that no survey has ever been made
2 nor is sufficient data available from
2 iwh'ich to estimate the cost of iin
s proving either one of these routes
2 so as to accommodate small power
2 launches and barges;
~ Conditions Are Changed
sj “That the completion of the Gov
jj ernmpnt Railroad and the establish
jj men't by the government of a steam
5 ship and barge service on the Yukon
Si and Tannna R’vers have completely
2 changed the transportation situation
£ in the Territory and have rendered
5 this portage of Immense importance
5 dn providing access to the Great
Z Knskokwim Valley by means of the
Z railroad route, thereby greatly ox
c tending the short summer working
Z season;
g! “That the Board of Engineers for
E Rivers and Harbors has notified tn
E terested parties fhpt the report of the
E preliminary examination by the dis
5'triet engineer in Juneau, Alaska, is
51 favorable to the extent of recom
mending a survey to determine the
cost and advisability of the improve
ment, but. that tho Board itself Is not
convinced of tho advisability of the
United 'States undertaking any im
provement at this locality, though it
Is willing to arrange for a hearing;
“That a hearing is impracticable
dun to the remoteness of the region
and the inadequacy of existing trans
portation facilities;
Survey Is Necessary
“Thi't a survey is necessary to se
cure date from which a thorough
going study may be made to deter
mine the cost and practfcabBlity of
the best of several pos&Lble routes,
the existing and -prospective traffic
1-n view of the changes and develop
ment resulting from the recent com
pletion of the Government Railroad,
and the extent 'to which cooperation
upon the part of the Territory of Al
aska or the Alaska Road Commission
may be possible;
“In view of those facts, we re
spectfully request 'tWat the local dis
trict engineer lie directed to make
the survey and romplote the report
-authorized by Congress.”
Session Is Short
The .House began the second w'eek
of the term without any great
amount of leglaaltlon being present

committee meetings were called for
