As an immediate result of the trip
up the line by the members of the
Yukon Presbytery it was decided to
carry into effect the plans of Rev.
Hughes who has supervision of the
work done by the Presbyterian
church along the upper line of the
government railroad. The plans em
brace the establishment of a central
preaching place at Matanuska from
which Mr. Hughes will reach by dog
team and train the different camps
and farms in the valley.
Mr. Hughes is planning to be of
service on week days as well as on
Sundays and his dog team and himself
will prove of general help to the set
tlers of the Matanuska and Chicaloon
valleys.
The Presbyterian church is the
first to initiate work throughout this
section and will follow out its plans
vigorously.
(Juneau Empire)
J*. P. Walker, chief of the field di
vision of the general land office, re
turned from the westward on the Ad
miral Evans. Mr. Walker has been
spending the past three months in
Anchorage, Seward and the Matanus
ka and Susitna valleys. He states
that the railroad is going ahead in
fine shape and that will open a won
derful country for development.
“I went up the Susitna river for
many miles and it is a most wonder
ful country with immense possibilities
behind it. The railroad will develop
the country in a manner that nothing
else could, but it will be slow, and
will be many years before the rail
road can be made to pay, in my opin
ion. It will be slow and discouraging
work, but the resources are there and
all that is needed is grit and determi
nation.
“The farming opportunities of the
two valleys are . wonderful. There is
nothing in the northern country any
where to compare with the immense
tract of land there waiting for devel
opment,” he said.
Mr. Walker was engaged in direct
ing the members of the field force in
that section while there, and was also
working with Andrew Christensen for
a time in survey work connected with
the new townsite at Matanuska Junc
tion and other places along the rail
road line.
