COMMISSION HAS
TEAMS READY TO
TRANSPORT MAIL
According to tentative plans out
lined to a representative of The
News this morning by Engineer in
Charge Fred’k D. Browne, the Alas
kan Engineering commission will
send its first regular through mail
out of Fairbanks on Friday, in ac
cordance with the provisions of the
arrangement made some time ago
for carrying the mail by way of
Broad Pass, instead of the Govern
ment post road between Fairbanks
j and Chitina. Mr. Browne has sug
jgested to Chairman Mears that the
| mails be despatched from Fairbanks
| on the regular trains leaving that
■ town on Tuesdays and Fridays, and,
unless such an arrangement inter
I feres with the coast schedules, that
i . ,
is the way in which the mail will
: be handled, the Fairbanks trains
connecting, as at present, with south
bound trains out of Nenana.
Teams will connect with mail
' trains at the end of steel and trans
I port the mail across the gap, a dis
; tance of approximately 94 miles,
; which is diminishing steadily as the
steel is advanced. It is expected
i that the distance will be consider
ably lessened by the first of the
year.
Outgoing mails are scheduled to
reach Seward in from ten to eleven
days from Fairbanks, a schedule
which makes liberal provision for
severe weather, bad trails, and de
lays during the breakup season. In
coming mails will cover the distance
in eight days.
While cognizant of the fact that
letters have reached Fairbanks from
the States in eight days on freouent
occasions in the past, Mr. Browne
believes the Broad Pass route will
prove more satisfactory to Interior
Alaskans than has the Chitina route.
The commission is prepared he says,
to maintain a regular schedule un
der almost any conditions that may
arise, and he believes the service
will be found entirely satisfactory.
Horses will be used to transport
the mains across the gap between
ends of steel. And should trail
conditions prevent the use of horses
at any time during the winter, the
commission has a lot of dogs which
are to be stationed along the trail
for use in an emergency. There
will be about sixty dogs on this end
and several teams on the Anchorage
end. The commission also plans to
use a tractor on the coast end for
breaking trail.
Mr. Browne anticipates no diffi
culty in keeping the trail open.
There is a large amount of freight
to be hauled to the outlying camps
during the winter, from both end3
of steel, and the freight teams, he
believes, will keep the trail in good
condition for the mail rigs, except
possibly during stormy weather.
Camps are being built along the
right-of-way for use in connection
with future construction work, and
these camps will be available for
the use of the mail teams. Each
camp will have a large barn in con
nection.
- Mr. Browne says that it is not
the intention of the commission to
engage in the passenger-carrying
business between railheads. And the
commission camps will not be open
| to the public, except in case of
emergency. There are regular road
! houses along the trail where meals
and sleeping accommodations may
| be obtained, and it is not the desire
of the commission to interfere in
any way with their business.
The mail service, under the new
arrangement, will be the same as
that provided last winter, as regards
weight limits. There will be two
mails a week each way, but no pro
vision has been made for carrying
all classes of matter, unless papers
and parcels should come within the
regular limit.
First class mail arrived from Fair
banks today.
