Army Transport Boats

Nenana News.
There is much of promise for Nenana
in ihe statement, of Major General Mor
ton that he will recommend the trans
fer of the army transports Jacobs and
Davis from the War Department to the
Interior Department, for use as a con
necting link between the Alaska rail
road and the Yukon river, and in the
Statement of Col. Mears that he will
assume jurisdiction over the steamers
and make them part of the Govern
ment transportation system just as soon
as the necessarv authority can be ob
tained from Washington.
The railroad must have steamer con
nection at Nenana to obtain needed ad
ditional tonnage, to insure the proper
handling of tourist travel on the Yukon
and Tanana rivers, and to rescue iso
lated river mining camps and trading
communities from the plight in which
they now find themselves, dependent
for their supplies upon a Canadian
transportation monopoly which is doing
its utmost to divert travel and tonnage
from Alaska's Government-owned rail
road.
It was intended that the railroad
should be of benefit to all of Interior
Alaska—that it should tap the naviga
ble waters of the interior so that sup
plies and machinery could be moved
and cheaply to points remote from the
railroad. And the full measure of that
accomplishment depends upon the es
tablishment of proper steamer connec
tion, operating, preferably, as part cf
the Government system.
