K3W TOWN GETS
A GOOD START j
x uc new guvcuuucia tunuouc clv ;
Matanuska Junction on tho branch :
railroad line into the Matanuska coal
fields, has started off under particu- j
larlv favorable auspices; sixty-two i
lots were sold, netting over $10,000 j
and several representative business i
men from Anchorage were among the '
buyers and will establish branch 1
stores at this important point.
The new town will supply the agri
cultural country of a portion of the
Matanuska and Susitna valleys. The
government has built a commercial
freight house and will start building a
depot at once, in addition to contem- •
plated warehouses and other neces- j
sarv buildings.
This is the first town established by
the government located on the line of
the railroad away from tidewater.
Coal is being mined about three
quarters of a mile from the railroad
right-of-way and will be shipped to
Anchorage by the first of August for
local consumers.
The government is operating a dai
ly train between Anchorage and the
end of the line and the freight and
passenger receipts are more than pay
ing cost of operation of the train;
with the increased tonnage incident to
shipping of coal from Moose creek
the railroad between Anchorage and
Moose creek should be on a paying
basis. This has been accomplished
within less than one year and is an
enviable record in railroad building
and operation.
P. O. INSPECTOR IS
VISITING ANCHORAGE
P. L. Neil, post office inspector with
headquarters at Seatle, arrived in An
chorage on the Admiral Watson and
is stopping at the Crescent during his
stay in Anchorage.
Mr. Neil has been connected with
the postal department for 21 years
and is especially fahniliar with Alas
ka and conditions peculiar to new
postoffices and says he is very well
pleased with the showing of the An
chorage postoffice and the efficiency
of Postmaster Wood and assistants.
He says there is nothing new in
regard to the status of this office un
less it would be the fact that it wiH
be promoted to a third class office the
first of October. The mail boxes, 500
in- number, will be installed the first
of next week and Mr. Neil suggests
that the people and business men who
are located here permanently should
make application to Postmaster Wood
■for reservations.
