It will be remembered that a
movement was started several weeks
ago in behalf of “Good Hoads” in the
Cache creek district by the Anchor
age Chamber of Commerce. Colonel
Richardson wired several days ago
that it would be necessary to make
a preliminary survey of the proposed
route and further stated that on ac
count of the shortage of funds in this
department it would be impossible to
make any improvements at this time.
However, he did state that the mat
ter would be looked into at an early
date and something done to relieve
the present unsatisfactory conditions
The Alaska Bureau, Seattle Cham
ber of Commerce, who ever have the !
interests of Alaska at heart and have
been especially solicitous of the wel
fare of Anchorage and this commun- ,
ity were called upon at this time for !
their assistance and influence and the
following is the latest communication
from this body in regard to the pro- j
posed improvement of the Cache
creek roads and trails:
SEATTLE, June 15.— (Anchorage '
Chamber of Commerce, Anchorage,
Alaska)—Gentlemen: Your cable
gram of the 14th inst., reached us a
few minutes after Colonel Richard
son had departed on the steamer
Mariposa, which sailed at 9 o'clock
this morning. \Ye immediately wire- j
Jessed him the contents of your
cablegram, requesting his kind con
sideration.
We are advised by Colonel Rich
ardson that the road work in the
Ruby district this year will be the
beginning of a northwest trunk
route, which will extend from a Junc
tion with the government railroad
near the head of Cook Inlet north
westerly through Rainey Pass, the
Kuskowim basin, Inoko mining dis- [
trict to the Ruby district. The writ- (
er fully appreciates the value of the j
improvement of this route, having
had charge of the original railroad
reconnaisance through this section, ;
and we feel that you and the people ,
of Anchorage are especially to be
congratulated on the beginning of
this trunk highway, which will prove
of inestimable value for the develop
ment of western and northwestern
Alaska. The Cache creek road will
probably prove to be a branch of this
important highway.
Wishing you every succes, we are,
Yours very truly,
ALASKA BUREAU,
j. l. McPherson,
Manager.
