' SIDELIGHTS ON
TOUR INSPECTION
The excursion which Lieuten
ant Mears tendered the Chamber
of Commerce from Anchorage to
Matanuska Junction, on Sunday
last, was one of those enjoyable
affairs that has aroused the en
thusiasm of the members and
since their return they have been
busy telling their friends all
about the great progress that is
being made on the new govern
ment railroad and the wonderful
country.it is going to tap. The
following aftermath of the trip
may prove of interest to our read
ers:
The day was made to order for
ah excursion trip, just enough
breeze to be comfortable and no
j mosquitoes.
In passing Lake Klumie. fifteen
miles out. several of the party
expressed the same thought— j
what an ideal place for a country \
club.
E. S. Hewitt, the latest addi
tion to Anchorage business men,
was thoughtful enough to send a
box of Webster cigars for distri
bution among the party.
The kodak fiend was along—
Newt Pilger and S. F. Kildall
getting many nice pictures of dif
ferent scenes on the trip.
Normile and Maxwell were
competitors to get a corner on
the Johnson shingle output at
Peters creek.
Judge David was the bureau of
information when it came to real
history of the country.
The output of the steam shovel
for the month of May was 69,000
cubic yards of gravel, most of,
this was used for ballast.
The Matanuska Junction town
site is about 1.000 feet from
where the Matanuska branch!
leaves the main line.
John Frame got the autographs
of the party written on a ‘ ‘Made
in Anchorage” shingle.
In addition to furnishing a box
of cigars, Geo. Campbell made
the patriotic suggestion that the
new government railroad be
named the G. A. R.—Great Al
aska Railroad.
Judge Conroy thought it rather
unkind in Larry Byrne to com
pare the deserted Indian village
to Seward.
TVia oloonlmncto f«T
way was apparent and it was no
ticeable that no old shovels, picks
or refuse were scattered around
the old camps.
It was hard work to get Wood
away from the Indian burying
; ground.
Warner sold Dreisbach a bunch
of lots at the Landing—and they
were formerly friends, too.
Wark was heard making apol
ogies for not delivering a cash
register to a restaurant man at
the Landing.
Supt. O'Reilly, wearing the
smile that will not come off, met
the party at the Junction, with
the glad hand.
Photographer Laurence took a
group picture of the party in
front of the dining room at the
Junction.
Deputy Marshal Frank Hoff
man kept his eye on the crowd
during the twenty minutes stop
j at the Landing.

factory site and Jack Robarts his
bowling alley lot during the stop
at the Junction.

i on the walls of the church at the
.1 Indian village.

; he left the Yukon for the new
railroad city of Anchorage.

betweeu Knik and Matanuska
rivers.
Ganton and Bjornson were en
thusiastic about the trip.

be a bad idea to paint the tele
graph poles.

i gy Koch tried to sign some of the
natives on the honor roll of the
Anchorage Chamber of Com
merce.
