OVERLAND 10 FAIRBANKS
FAIRBANKS, Oct. 20? An automo
bile line will operate out of Fair
banks on the overland .rail this win
ter a distance of 100 miles. The
roads are now fairly hard and In
good condition, except for one or
two sloughs which are still open.
The autos will run some distance
up the Little Delta road and will
greatly aid in shortening the time
between the coast and Fairbanks.
There is a fairly good road all th<
way to Little Delta station. wher<
; the portage of the Tanana is made.
rYoai there the overland road fol
lows the Little Delta and this piece
is not so good, but the machine will
negotiate as much of it as possible.
It is believed that Inside of an
other year, when the overland trail
is connected with the Copper River
& Northwestern Railway, that a line
of automobiles will be operated the
whole distauce. At the worst, there
will be but a small stretch In the
Interior which will be found unsuit
able to gasoline roadsters.
