CHITINA ROUTE
IS PREFERRED
TO BROAD PASS
—.—
Andy Hoep. a Nenana business man
who recently sold his interests there,
is in Cordova on his way to Massa
chusetts. where he will visit for sev
eral w: ks with his mother, whom he
has not seen for sixteen years. He
expects to return to the Interior in
February.
“I came out by the way of Fair
banks and Chitina because it is the
quickest and best route.” said Mr.
Hoey. The time it would take him to
reach Seward or Anchorage would be
more than it takes to get to Cordova.
Boats call much more frequently at
Cordova than at Seward and Anchor
age, especially during the winter
months, and Andy could not see how
the Broad Pass trail could compare
with the Fairbanks-Chitina route,
either in time or money, and the con
veniences on the latter trail are much
superior.
Speaking of the prospects for an
early linking up of the two towns by
the government railroad, Mr. Hoey
said that Faribanks people could ex
pect to see many more Nenana visit
ors in the future than has been the
case in the past. “Take my own case,
for instance,” he said. “In three years
I have been in Fairbanks four or five
times. Under the conditions hereto
fore existing it took too much time
and money to make the trip, but when
the road is completed and the round
trip can be made for $7, and with lit
tle loss of time, three or four times
a month would be more like it.

NEW SEWERAGE SYSTEM I
FOR FORESTRY BUILDINGS
The firm of Smith & McConaghy I
has been awarded the contract for I
the installation of a modern sewage
system for^the United States forestry
buildings. With the erection of an
additional residence this summer, the
service now has three buildings on
the hill, in all of which modern sani
tary fixtures are being installed. The
city water main has been laid to the
forestry site, a fire plug installed,
and the necessary connections made.
All of the material used in the con
struction of buildings, installation of
plumbing, etc., was purchased by the
government from local merchants.
FORM m
HABIT
ATTEND CHURCH
Why? is the question asked by the
non-churchgoer. He who neglects his
church is charging'his life with an
irreparable loss and is robbing his
community of a noble example, and is
acting contrary to the principles and
commands of God’s word. The
church member who refuses to attend
church because of some selfish whim
is committing moral and spiritual sui
cide, and must answer for this crime
at the judgment bar of God, as well
as in his life. John Wanamaker an
swered this question by saying: “I
would be very miserable without this
spiritual uplift that comes from at
tending Divine worship and obeying
the Divine ordinances. It is a privi
lege to touch soldiers with earnest
Christian men who are interested in
promoting Christ’s kingdom on earth.”
Don’t be a “slacker” in God’s army.
Begin next Sunday to attend regu
larly. Helpful sermons, good music
and a cordial welcome await you at j
