BT DEPARTMENT
Acting Secretary Finney Says
Hopes Railroad Will Mean
Much to Alaska.
Official congratualtlons on the in
auguration of through standard guage
■ service from coast to interior over
I the Alaska Railroad have just been
received by Col. Jamea G. Steese.
i Chairman, from Judge E. C. Finney.
First Assistant and Acting Secretary
of the Interior.
Under date of June 29th, Judge
i Finney wired Col. Steese:
"Congratulations on inauguration
j of through standard guage service
Seward to Fairbanks. Hope rail
; road and connecting wagon road
system will mean much to Alaska."
Consolidation Means Much
Consolidation of the Alaska Rail
road and the Alaska Road Commls
sion last winter by direction of the
President is destined to be an im
portant factor in Alaska transporta
' tion, declared Col. Steese today. This
step, he added, has already justified
Itself in the handling of the recent
emergency in transportation service
resulting from the damage to the
Alaska Railroad and Telegraph line
by severe storms and floods. As
soon as the first reports of wash
outs began coming in. arrangements
were made for routing passengers
and mails over the Richardson High
way and a special fifteen minute
service over the Valdez-Falrbanks
' Military Telegraph line was provided
| for railway purposes.
Passengers on the Alaska, then.
! nearing Cordova, were advised by
l radio of conditions. Some of them
■ left the Alaska at Cordova, and pro
! needed to Fairbanks via Chitina and
! the Richardson Highway. Others con
tinued to Seward in the hope that
railway service might be restored,
only to return to Cordova on the
same ship and take the Highway
route to the Interior. A few suc
ceeded in getting through on the
one train which transferred around
the bad slide at Milo ,153 after the
remainder of the 50 miles of damaged
lino had been restored to service.
As the Alaska Railroad was unable
to handle its mail contract without
delay, It arranged for an emergency
contract to be let to the Alaska
Road Commission. The latter Com
mission handled part of the mail on
the Alaska as well as important
local mall from the Seward-Anchor
age district over the Richardson
Highway, via Cordova and Chitina.
Meanwhile, the entire town of Val
dez turned out and shoveled the
last remaining snow out of Thompson;
Pass, thereby opening the Highway!
from the Coast at Valdez nearly aj
month ahead of previous years.
The Congressional Special came
out over Broad Pass on June 7th,
the regular trains In both directions
passed through on the 8th, leaving
one train on each side of the break
which occurred on June 9th. On
June 19th. passengers and mall
In both directions were transferredj
around the last remaining break, a
bad slide at Mile 353, which develop
ed just as repairs to the rest of the
damaged fifty miles were about com
pleted. This transfer so Interfered
with construction work that further
service was annulled until June 26th,
when regular service was restored
throughont.

[ Cordova the next day and reaching
Fairbanks Tuesday evening at 11:30,
a total elapsed time of 69 1-2 hours.
His actual driving time by automo
bile from Chltina to Fairbanks was
16 1-2 hours out of a total of 28
hours on the road between these two
j points. This trip formally opened
the Highway between Chitina and
Fairbanks to overland auto traffic
two weeks earlier than in any pre
vious year.
Meanwhile, in anticipation of heavy
tourist travel, the Alaska Railroad
entered into an agreement with the
1 Richardson Highway Transportation
Company for regular automobile ser
vice over the highway in connection
with its own traffic. It is well
known that tourists object to repeat
ing a trip if it can possibly be avoid
ed. While the Alaska Railroad has
been able to' sell 'a few round-trip
tickets over its own line, it received
hundreds of inquiries concerning an
alternative route. As soon as it an
nounced its alternative highway route,
business began to pick up. In addi
tion to individual travel, three large
parties have already been arranged
for. The Brooklyn Eagle, the Presi
dential party, and the Massachusetts
Forestry Association.
Railroad and Highway tickets are
on sale at all railway and steamship
offices on the west coast, at all
offices of Thos. Cook & Sons, Amer
ican Railway Express, Crabtree Tours
and Beals Tours. Already exchange
orders are chmityt in Indicating a
healthy flow Nof prospective travel
in both directlonfe during the season.
Ore Beiett Handled
The first of the silver-lead ore
from the Mayo district in Yukon Ter
ritory is now being handled by the
railroad south from Nenana. said
Col. Steese. Up to last week 2,000
tons had been delivered at Nenana
and loaded for aliment. Approxi
mately 10,000 motV tons are to be
handled down the Yukon by the
White Pass Company's steamers for
shipment over the same route, which,
Col. Steese said, offers better facili
ties than the old St. Michael route
heretofore used.

Herbert Hoggatt, part owner of
the Berners Bayri,mining property
under development by the Juallu
