CONSTRUCTION
OF RAILROAD
' FROM HYDER
Construction of a railroad up the
Salmon river to connect the mines of
the Portland canal district with tide
water at Hyder will be commenced in
the near future by the Portland Cana]
Railroad and Terminal Company,
which filed articles of incorporation in
the office of the secretary of Alaska
recently. The company is capitalized
at $3,000,000, the incorporators being
Charles F. Caldwell of Kaslo, B. C.,
and John King of Spokane.
Mr. Caldwell, who is president of
the company, w7ent to Juneau recent
ly to obtain a license from C. H.
Flory, forest supervisor for Alaska,
for the right-of-way, all of which lies
within the forest reserve. The neces
sary permission was granted, and Mr
Caldwrell stated that actual construc
tion would commence at the earliest
possible date.
"We have completed our survey
and arranged for the financing of the
road,” said Mr. Caldwell, "and every
thing is in shape to go ahead with
the work. Weather conditions may
interfere with much progress this
year. We have procured terminal
grounds at Hyder and at Eleven Mile
Point, near the boundary line wiiere
the New Alaska Mining Company has
13 claims now being developed. We
intend to extend the road six miles
into Canadian territory to tap rich
mining property, but for the present
we will concentrate on the construc
tion of the first eleven miles.
“The road will be standard gauge
and will be built and equipped to
stand the heaviest kind of wear, as
we expect to haul an enormous ton
'Tiage of ore. Oour engineers have
found a very easy grade up the Sal
mon river, running not over three
fourths of 1 per cent. Construction
will be a comparatively simple mat
ter.”
Mr. Caldwell believes the Hydei
district has a great future and will
develop into a big camp. He has
been interested in mining for the
past thirty years and is now presi
dent of the Independent Mine Owners
Association of British Columbia
Eastern and coast capitalists are in
terested with Mr. Caldwell in the new
railroad enterprise.
SCARCITY OF PINE CONES
IS REPORTED IN MONTAW
MISSOULA, Mont... Oct. 3 (by As
sociated Press).—Squirrel cashes o
pine cones are sought each year bj
foresters in Montana in gathering
cones for planting purposes. Th<
work this year will begin about Oc
tober 15.
Sometimes a single squirrel’s each*
will yield as high as fifteen or twenty
bushels, though usually the yield n
about five bushels. The squirrel!
store the cones in damp places tc
prevent drying and the seeds fallins
out.
About one hundred pound of Doug
las fir seed and fifty pounds of larcl
seed will be gathered this year.
Plans wrhich had been made t(
gather about 4,000 bushels of whitf
and yellow7 pine cones w7ere given uj
when scouts sent into the district re
ported there would be no crop. Mosi
of the larch and fir cones will be
gathered near Haugan and Libby
Mont. Larch and fir cones are mucl
harder to gather than other kinds
because they are so small that as £
rule the squirrels will not store then
for the winter, preferring instead the
larger white and yellow7 pine cones.
After the cones are gathered thej
are taken to the seed plant w7herc
they are dried in a kiln for tw-o days
and two nights. They are then rur
through large drums w7hich shake ou
the seeds. The largest seed plan'
of the entire forest service is locatec
at Priest River, Idaho. The comes
gathered this year will be taken to i
small seed plant near Iron Mountain
Mont.
The seeds are finally taken to the
Savenac nursery of the forest service
t
at Haugan and planted there.When
about three years old they are re
moved to the forest for planting.
It’s the flavor and the grain whiclP
make the bread at the City Bakery
famous.
