SUGGESTION ABOUT WINTER TRAIL.
Tho T.un- -inverted to t e belief, after an investi**
tion cond i -vd y reputable men. that 1* would be entirely t
fea ; d ver de-Srabl* to follow tie right of -wav of the
govern men* ra! . line from Anchorage to B:r . r*-*: . on
Tnrmtgain Ana, ti eliminating entirely the troublesome
winter trthat leads over Indian ereeb -tnnmit. whic:. has
been in u-‘- heretofore.
The frrade ■ v.e railway from Anborage to Seward has
been con. !<•'".} .,:>t of tlds town for a di-tanee **f six miles
and by the time -now flies it >- possible that roach more made
work til . ■> “ ■ done. Hut the made work from Anchor
age to Tnrnaga ' Ann i- riot, -o important in this connection,
a- the riant*of.v.,. as liten cleared, and this w.;j artord a
good winter tr. 1 over level mound. There is a -tretch of
some four ioiler * r• * Rainbow or*" I. to Indian cree.-:. Coat i
difficult and up-on wnieh considerable work will have to be
done befor<- a Irak wiii be possible. In diat this work will
have to be done an;*! ow, in th<- course of the construction of
the railway, if It 'Acre done this fall, before the -now comes,
it would provide a level winter trail from Anenoiage to Bird
creek and igreatly facilitate travel.
Then the o;d trail, between Bird cr«-k and Ola'-ier reek.,
shoucl b<- placed in i oriditiou. Thi- .- -on-olered the roost dif
ficult part of the trail from Anchorage to Seward. The rail
way lire- will follow along near the course of the old trail, and
if the Engineering' f omtnis-ion would do some work here—,
work that will have to be dose in time—it would be highly j
appreciated b% the tra veling j ubiic.
These - igg*—1 on- are submitted to toe Alaskan Engineer
ing Commission for the lienetit of tic- pub.m and in t.ue hope
that the important matter v*. 1 be gi--en due consideration be
fore it is too late to bring about th<- desired result. And in
view of the fa< t t> at the wor : that will Is- necessary to put the
trail in good traveling -haj>e vjjj have to be done in the coarse
of time an;, now, it -ce- ren-cnable to a-k that it *>e done thi
fall because of the resulting benefits.
WATEE MUST NOT BE POLLUTED.
The -alrnoTi aT“ beginning to run up Ship creek to spawn,
and after depositing eggs at --onveriient point-, the fish will
die. It is advisable for thote n authority hero to see that a
fish net is placed near the month of Ship creek to prevent fur
ther entry of the salmon. The town of Anchorage is depend
ent on Ship 'meek for it- water supply, and we cannot afford
to have the water pol uted hy mnumberod dead salmon lying
on the banks and bar: of the stream. This matter should have
been attended to before now, i>ut it is not too late to at least
lessen the danger, if prompt a.-tion is taken.
Ship creek is among the -t reams of Alaska that are im
mune from fish traps, and devices. The department of com
merce control1- the-e salmon -pawning creek-. But in the cir
cumstanee-, the health oi ice people of Anchorage is more im
portant than a particular spawning ground for fish. The sal
mon will go elsewhere, if denied ingre-s to Ship creek.
The Anchorage postoffice will he raised to an office of
the third class October 1. according to information given out
by Alvah Kames, chief clerk of the railway mail service, in
charge of mail- and routes in the southwestern part of Alaska.
An office of the third Has- receive- much more consideration
and has: much greater authority in the matter of adequate cler
ic I as-i-fance than doe- a mere fourth class office, hence the
change will be a distinct benefit from all aspects. With en
larged postoffice quarters, now nearing completion; postoffice
boxes for patrons who may wish to rent them, and additional
clerical help, the Anchorage postoffice will be in fine condition
to give complete satisfaction to tin- public. Mail matter is
something that concerns every adult individual in the town
and any improvement will he hailed with delight. The An
chorage postoffice has been working under great difficulties
since the establishment of the office a little over a year ago.
The population increased with rapidity and the volume of
biisine s increa <*d in like proportion. It has been no light
task to keep up with the progress of the town.
A special agent of the United States department of agri
culture, an expert employed in the bureau of soils, is in An
chorage, coining to this point, for the express purpose of mak
ing a study of the agricultural possibilities of the fertile val
leys of the Matanuska and Susitna. The fact is important in
that it shows that the government is alive to the interests of
Alaska and that till departments of ihe federal government
are working in harmony, to the end that the government rail
way shall prove a success. This special agent was in this sec
tion last year and made a very comprehensive study of soil
conditions. Mis report thereon was printed as a public docu
ment and widely circulated throughout the country. He re
turns to make more complete and searching investigations
along the same line.
