Gen. Allen Reports Cable i
Conditions Satisfactory
Special Dispatch to Daily Alaskan
Washington, *.>ct. 15? General Ailen,
of the United States Signal corps, in
his annual report says tne Alaska cable
is operating satisfactory and recom
mends that the cable running from
Juneau to Sitka be cut and looped near
Cape Faoshaw to run a single rtble
south to W range!;, and thence on Prince
of Wales to near Hadley and then on to
Ketchikan. It is proposed thai by a
co-operation with the Alaska Roau
Commission that they construct a cut
off between Glen and Tolovna and
abandon the line from Tolovana to
Chena. This will allow the construc
tion of a line eighteen miles above To
lovana to connect Chena. He advises
?u additional cable between Seattle
and Sitka and says the Norton sound
wireless is working perfectly.
