GAUSTAD WILL
BUILD TRAM
AT TOLOVANA
Former Territorial Senator O. P.
Gaustad, of Fairbanks, who is a
prominent mining operator in the Tol
ovana, arrived in Cordova last night
from an extended trip to the states.
Senator Gaustad sized up the political
situation in Southeastern Alaska and
he says J. C. McBride will carry prac
tically the entire division in his can
didacy for Republican National Com
mitteeman, while information he re
ceived from the interior mining
camps shows that McBride is the only
candidate in the running in the Fourth
division.
Senator Gaustad left on this morn
ing’s train for Fairbanks. He stated
while in Cordova that he proposed to
extend the Tolovana tram, which he
acquired some time ago, to connect
with the government railroad at Dun
bar’s, thus giving the new mining
camp a more adequate means of
transportation. He said that it is his
intention to improve the service bv
the extention of the tram toward the
jam from Brooks, and by the addi
tion of rolling stock. The new ter- i
minal will be at the big eddy, above
the jam, where the riffles begin, hut
the extension will not stop there if it
is possible for Mr. Gaustad to get the
necessary support to carry the road
on to Dunbar’s.
Such a tram as is proposed by
Gaustad can be constructed, he said
for half the amount that would be
needed to build a wagon road, and
would insure the people of Tolovana
a much lower freight rate than they
could hope to get otherwise, either
by boat or wagon. The tram, he said,
would be the next thing to a real rail
road, capable of maintaining all year
traffic, fast service and low haulage
cost.
The Tolovana tram consists of
wood rails, laid on slabs, and auto
mobiles with flanged wheels are the
locomotives, which attain a speed of
25 miles an hour under favorable con
ditions. A Dodge car and an Austin
are in service at the present time.
Mr. Gaustad now also owns the
Tolovana sawmill, which he plans to
move down the river to the big eddy
next spring, where timber is more
plentiful.

man College Men’s Glee Club for a

ABERDEEN, Wash., March 17 (by
Associated Press).—Two halls may
be necessary to accomodate the peo
ple expected to attend a banquet to
be given the members of the Washing
ton State Grange when they hold
their annual convention here July 1
to 5. Approximately 1,000 are ex
pected to attend the banquet.
Plans for the convention are being
completed. Mayor Roy Star Sargeant

DENVER, Colo., March 17 (by As
socated Press).—In addition to the
municipal golf course, Denver has
two excellent club links that have pro
duced some of the best players in the
middle west.
Lakewood, seven miles west of Den
vre, and the Country club links, a
mile from the state capitol—are both
turf courses. The Country club,
famous for its hilly greens is to be
the scene of a state tournament in
August.
One of its members, Walter Fair
banks, now in the seventies, still is
a strong contender for honors in the
Western Open and State tournaments,
the latter of which he has won sever
al times.
Lakewood is famous for its water
hazards, the course being covered
with small ponds and an irrigating
creek cuts through the center of the
18 holes, in some places forming
high banks, with greens close by,
which requires a highly developed
mashie shot to place.
The development of the game in
Colorado has produced golf courses in
the last few years in Trinidad, Pueb
lo, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins,
Boulder, Fort Morgan, and plans are
under way for a course at Greeley
this spring.
