NELSON THE NEWEST TOWN
In a long article about the new
town of Nelson at the head of Cor
dova bay the Seattle Times says:
Nelson Is at the head of Cordova
bay, about seven miles from the pre
sent town of Cordpva, which is the
terminus of the Copper River and
Northwestern Hallway, the Morgan
l Guggenheim road into the center of
! Alaska. February (i this year con
gress granted to McKcnzie and his
associates 2,000 acres of land for
townsite purposes, supplemented by
3.000 additional, reserved for public
uses, such as parks, university
grounds, driveways and public im
provement sites.
Between the townsite of Nelson
and Cordo\s is a point of land adjoin
ing deep wai"r where the Seattle
men with Easterners p?an the con
at ruction ?f ioupeuM.coal bua)c$r? (or
the handling of the output of the
Bering Lake- coal fields.. Theac. fields
are soon to be developed by the Gug
genheim and other Interests. Almost
opposite this, point Is an. island re
served by the government as a coaling
station. It is asserted by the govern
ment exports that, tbe goxernment can
purchase this Alaska coal and trans
port it to the Pacific coast navy, yards
vastly cheaper than It now obtains
fuel for the ships of the navy.
The approaching visit of prominent
officials of the Morgan-Uuggwihelm
I combination to Alaska. wlli doubtless
determine the question of extending
the Copper River Railway from Cor
dova to the coal bunker site from
which It Is only a short distance to
Nelson. - 0
VALDEZ? FAIRBANKS TRAIL
11 PROGRESSING GOT
Automobiles can run to the summit j
of Thompson's pass by July L'5 and a J
the way to Fairbanks over the road j
by October 1. avers Lieut. Orchard,
secretary of the road commission,
and he can tell you just what work
has to bo done to make the thing j
possible.
All the bridges will be complete
from VaUlez to the lake stream, in
eluding the latter, by July C. t;.
Wulff's contract for these pile bridges
allows him all the month of July
but it seems certain now that a week
| earlier will see the job done. Only
j two more streams remain to be cros
sed this side of the lake stream. The'
bridge across the lake stream will be 1
only il'O feet long. The planking of
the bridges is kept close behind the
pile driving.
] The work along Lowe river, this
! side of Camp Comfort, is practically
complete. George \V. Nelson has a
small crew in Keystone canyon re- 1
pairing the washout and clearing up
the slide which partially blocks the
trail there and it will be cleared in
ten days. The buzz wagon can then
run to the summit.
Beyond, Thompson pass the hardest
work is at Salna. A rock out and a
new bridge across the river near
there will avoid the present 20 per
cent, climb over the hill without in
creasing the distance. The road will
have an easy grade all the way.
Other crews art' working at inters
vals all the way to Fairbanks jp bad
spots on the rail, the result of whose
work will be to make a road for
wheeled vehicles on every mile.
Some of this work i# rock cutting to
reduce grades, and In places con
struction of bridges and corduroy
road to get out of the mud and water
Altogether about 450 men are now
employed by thai icommission, and by
October 1 the trail will have been
converted into a highway.? Valdez

There is more Catarrh in this sec
tion of tho country than all other dis
eases put together, and until tho
last few years was supposed to bo in
curable. For a great many years doc
tors pronounced it a local disease an
prescribed local remedies, and by con
stantly failing to cure with local treat
ment, pronounced It incurable. Selene
has proven catarrh to be a constitu
tional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the
only constitutional cure on the mar
ket. It is taken internally in doses
from 10 drops to a teaspoonful. It
acts directly on the blood and mucou
surfaces of the system. They offer
one hundred dollars for any case it
fails to cure. Send for circulars and
testimonials.
