VALDEZ TO RENT BUILDING
FOR POST OFFICE QUARTERS
The announcement that the govern
ment has decided to rent quarters for
the postofflce rather than build to re
place the office destroyed by the fire,
is a disappointment to the people of
Valdez, n.s it was hoped that the gov
ernment would erect a building on
the former site of the postofflce which
j would hose both the offices of the
Alaska Road Commission and the
posfoffice.
Inside Railroad Dope.
In discussing future construction
work, Chairman Edes said that if suf
ficient .funds are forthcoming the con
necting link bettveen the present Alas
ka Northern road and the new line out

from one year to year and a half.

[LI THOMPSON
CHARTERED
THIS min
For the second time this season, the!
Pacific Cold Storage Company’s steam-1
j ship Elihu Thompson has been char-1
| tered by the Alaska Steamship Com- j
' pany to help handle the rush In the
transportation corporation s freight
traffic to and from Alaska. The
Thompson immediately proceeded to
begin loading a full cargo of coal and
miscellaneous freight for the North.
On the return voyage she will bring
a full cargo of canned salmon from
Southeastern Alaska points. 'he
charter calls for one round voyuste.
In the middle of the summer!, the
Thompson was chartered by the
steamship company to help relieve
the freight pressure on its tonnage.
She made two voyages under the char
I ter. The company also operated the
1 steamship Pavolf of the Pacific Ameri
| can Fisheries, in a voyage to and from
j Alaska under a charter in the sum
i mer. Vice President R. W. Baxter
j has again arranged to have the Pavolf,
■ now in Alaska waters for the fisheries
company, handle 20,000 cases of can
ned salmon of the steamship company
on her forthcoming southbound voy
nsc.
The los of the freighter Edith and
the heavy volume of the northbound
i and south bound freight movement,
| are responsible for the Thompson
| charter and the arrangement made for
j the Pavolf’s southbound voyage.
The deals closed by the Alaska
' Steamship Company contain an ele
| ment of the sensational. The com
I pany operates by far the greatest fleet
i plying the Seattle-Alaska routes, yet
i has found it necessary to seek the aid
j of more vessels to fulfill its promises
' to shippers.
Having stood all the tests of dry
dock inspection the Great Lakes
freighters Bennington and Burlington
were accepted by the Alaska Steam
ship Company. They were purchased
I from the Ruthland Transit Company,
I a subsidiary of the New York Central
Railroad, subject to inspection in dry
dock. Both vessels were found to be
in perfect condition and the formal
transfer was made October 1. They
went from Ogdenburg down the St.
Lawrence river to New York where
they were loaded for the voyage to
Seattle via the Panama Canar.
Because of their greater speed, the
Burlington and Bennington will give
i a service equal to that of three ves
sels of ihe lost Edith's type and
speed.
