That George W. Hibbard, the gen
eral passenger agent of the Chicago
Milwaukee & St. Paul railway, Is tak
ing a great interest in Alaska, is evi
denced by a letter to the company’s
local representatives, in which he
states that one of his greatest ambi
tions is to personally conduct the first
special train party from the east tr
Fairbanks and return.
Mr. Hibbard has prepared an itin
erary of the trip based upon the fol
lowing:

miles.

miles.

miles.
Seward to Valdez, boat, 148 miles
Valdez to Cordova, boat, 78 miles
Cordova to Miles glacier and return
98 miles.
Cordova to Seattle, boat, direct, 1,
236 miles.
This makes a total distance of 4,
531 miles.
The cost of the trip from Seattle tc
Fairbanks and return to Seattle, vie
the government railway, including thf
side trip to Miles glacier, will only hr
$240.

which would be diverted eslewhere.
The agricultural possibilities of th<
country will be exploited and as usua

be run at exceedingly low rates.
