is. W. Hill, vice-president of the
rbanks Banking Compjny, was a
rth of Jul; transient en route to
and transact busi
' "" uess, at the south for a month or six
" weeks. Mr Ilill is a brother-in-law
of Harnett, the founder of Fairbanks,
and bis "iouse is the pioneer bank of
the American Yukon. Mr. Hill 8-?vs:
"M?jor Richardson, regardless of the
obstructions that ba.-e been In the way
of the -oad commission has right to his
happy frame of mind over its
accomplishment.
''When the commission began Its
labors at Valdez 1,500 or 2,000
pounds was as much as could
be hauled over the trail to
Fairbanks. Though the finishing
touches have by no mean' been put
upon the road the average load now
ranges between 4,">00 and 5,000 pounds
and as much a< 2,t>00 pounds to the
mule can be hauled. Two years ago it
wus impossi ile for four mules to haul
more than 4,000 or 5,000 pounds about
Fairbanks, but there is now a good
system of roads centering at the
metropolis from all the principal
creeks. The Orr Stage Company now
makes a through trip to the coast from
Fairbanks in six days and 15 hours, ?s
against its old schedule which ranged
between 15 and 13 days. All of the
recent arrivals from the interior are
sounding the praises of the much be
loved president of the road commission.
No man in Alaska is so universally
acquainted with its inhabitants."
