GILCHER BOOSIS
| Writing to The News from Ar.
|' chorage. under date of October 19,
1 W. H. Gilcher says that he and Mrs.
1 Gilcher had “a very pleasant trip.
I and that, aside from the trail being
, short of snow, the going was pretty
good, especially from Jack river
south.".
j
The letter says the roadhouses
and camps arc very close together,
| about eight miles being the longest
1 distance between stopping places.
, The accommodations are described
j as being fair.
j "We left Healy the afternoon of
the ninth and arrived here the
afternoon of the fifteenth. The A.
E. C. camps have raised the price
! of meals to travelers to $1.50 and
| they do not like to take care of
Ij the trail people but will do so in a '
pinch. The idea is to give the road
| houses the business, but where there
i is no roadhouse, they will take you
jin.
“The distance now (between
•ends of steel) is just under 100
. miles and in course of a week or
: two will be about ten miles less.
I This trip will be a picnic after the
, trail gets in good condition, and one j
can walk it then in three days and j
no bad summit to cross. Would not j
| be surprised to hear that the mail j
, would make the distance between
t steels in two days.
SHORT CUT TRAIL

I Captain George Green and Ernest
!! Foster will be in this afternoon..
• “Have been inquiring around here
; and on the line and find that the
;; A. E. 0. pays more wages at.a treats
| the men better on this end. Cooks
get from $125 for a section camp
to $150 for the larger ones. Labor
. ers get 65 cents per hour, with
two hours extra every day at time
and one half—and double time for
Sunday. The mechanics get 91'»
i cents per hour and helpers 72 !s
cents. This includes carpenters,
machinists, etc., and the board is
$1.50 per day. Was told by a party
here who works in the offices that
the wages here are from ten to
fifteen per cent higher on this side,
and this party is in a position to
know
I “Gold creek is the largest camp
now and is a regular mad house. The
assistant engineer. Gerig, I under
j stand, put in the pier on the south I
I side of Indian river with dirty
I gravel, and they are now digging
j it out. to replace it again. Some of
j these engineers ought to know some

thing when the road is done, as it is
dubbed the “Engineers' Experiment",
and from what I can learn. Gcrig
is the chief dub. Efficiency does not
count—just be in the ring and then
you can get a plum, same as all
Government jobs.
“Anchorage is a widely scattered
town. Could be, condensed in one
third of the space it now occupies
The town looks fairly good—good
streets, cement sidewalks and some
good buildings. Cigar stores and
eating houses are in the vast major
ity and there are two good picture
shows. The price of admission is 35
and 40 cents. The Empress has a
SO.000 organ.
“Coal costs from $9.50 to $12 a
ton and looks to me to be an infer
ior grade, more inferior than Healy
river. Another thing—the commis- '
sion sells current here for 12 and
j 15 cents a k. w. and coal costs
! more than it does at Nenana, which
looks to me like discrimination, as
the wages in the power house here
are the same as are paid in Nenana
or more.

Major Chas. A. Lewis. Sergeant
J. N. Campbell, Corp. J. W. Curlee
and Private Henry Kaiser, members
of the detachment stationed at Ft.
Gibbon who started on a hunting
trip up the Yukon just before the
: close of navigation and for whose
j safety considerable anxiety was felt
j when the party failed to report
; after the freeze-up, arrived at Chat
j anike on Saturday night and report
having had a tough experience on
I
the trail between Circle and Chata
nika. They left Beaver with grub
for ten days and were lti days on
the trail, being compelled to live on
caribou meat straight during the last
several days of the hike. They were
misinformed at Beaver as to the
distance across country to Chata
nika. The party will leave for Dun
bars on a handcar tomorrow and
will there hit the trail for Gibbon.
Up to noon 165 votes had been
cast in Fairbanks and 28 in the
Graehl precinct across the river.
Frank Wiseman reports from
Iditarod that the Republican vote
in that district will be very heavy.
