rosrffnr lake notes
The Copper Hiver Current ms received in this
community with very favorable comment and no
little surprise at its layout and content.
The future looks assured from this end of the
basin for this endeavor.
The rivers, both the Copper and Tonsina are
back to near normal flow again and the Kings
and Copper Hiver reds are slithering into some
of the local fishwheel boxes—looks like r;e#ll
smell the pleasant odor of alderwood smoke as
vjc pass some of the homesteads pretty soon.
Last evening on the way home from Copper Center
the sky mas a leaden gray blanket flug almost
from horizon to horizon; but the sky at the
mount ain tops, a deep azure, showed a band of
promise from Wrangell to Hlackburn and along
the tips of the Chugachs'; in the west it
turned to reddish gold and threw us a long
legged shadow down the path of the road as we
travelled east in the sunlit tunnel the dark
brush made on the Edgerton Highway. Wonderful
country, this.
Activity scorns to be increasing on tlic stretch
of construction at Lower Tonsina, 8 B Co.*s
big yellow lowbeds Icecp churning in with more
material and equipment and the far-off, hollow
boom of blasting brings the local residents*
heads around to listen, too late, several times
a day.
We arc about to gain a new business in the area.
A1 Taylor at Lower Tonsina will open a gas
station and store at his place near the bridge.
Good luck in your venture, Al.
Another business is about to become q reality,
also at Lower Tonsina. Bill Weaver is working
on a Kwick-Log structure which will replace
the roadhouse building tli t burned to the
ground last winter. The property is owned by
George ffcgengast.
The road is steadily improving, what with the
dryer weather and attention from Johnny Billun,
who is substituting for Jack borrow, the local
maintenance nan. Jack and his family arc on a
trip outside for several weeks; anyway, back
to the road, take a drive over our way some
weekend, you’ll enjoy it.
