STEESE EXTENDS WELCOME
TO BROOKLYN EAGLE PARTY
Col. Jas. G. Steese, chairman and
chief engineer of the Alaska Ra;i
; roaa ar.d president of the Alaska
Road Commission, recently sent the
following let:er to the “Brooklyn
Eagle,” extending a welcome to
the many outsiders who will visit
j Alaska this summer as members of
the Brooklyn Eable party:
‘‘I am very glad to learn that The
Brooklyn Eagle has selected Alaska
and the dedication of Mt. McKinley
National park for its annual tour
for 1923. By taking the ‘Horseshoe
Tour’ in over the government rail
road and out over the military high
way as you plan, you will give your
party of representative eastern
people an opportunity to penetrate
right into the interior of Alaska
without any real hardship or ser
ious inconvenience.
“The railroad has been operating
through service as far as the Tana
na river, 412 miles from the coast,
since last summer. Your party will
probably be the first to go right
through to Fairbanks, 467 miles,
without changing cars.
“The Richardson Highway has
been passable for automobiles since
1913, but was neglected during the
war. Since then we have expended
about a million dollars upon its re
habilitation and improvement and
have allotted about one third of a
million dollars for this season.
“I am enclosing some maps es
pecially gotten up for the pre^.
dent's proposed trip last year. It is
expected that the resident will make
the trip this year.
“Leaving Fairbanks^ the highway
follows up the Tanana river, some
times in the river valleys, at otner
times climbing the high bluffs and
domes in that section of the country
Directly opposite is a fuii view of
the main Alaskan range (Rocky
mountains) a continuous line of
of snow-capped eminences, known
locally as the Cathedral mountains.
After crossing the Tanana river a:
McCarthy the road follows the val
ley of the Big Delta river to the
summit of the Alaska range at
Isabelle pass, at an elevation of
about 3,300 feet, through a wildly
beautiful country, full of glaciers
lakes and mountains covered with
permanent snow and ice.
“Beyond the pass the road fol
lows down the Gulkana river val
ley to Willow creek. Through this
section the main Alaska range, just
crossed, is in full view as it swings
around to the southeast. Included in
the widening panorama are Mt.
Wrangell, Blackburn, Sanford and
other snow-capped peaks to the left
front while straight ahead and to
the right the Coast or Chugach
range comes into view. Mt. Wran
gell is a smoking volcano.
"At Willow creek the Chitina cut
off connects with the Copper River
railroad at Chitina. This 39 mile
stretch follows down the Copper riv
er, repeatedly climbing and descend
ing the high bluffs, giving a mag
nificient view of the entire range
in the distance across the deep rift.
The last ten miles into Chitina are
along a series of mirror lakes of
sparkling beauty.
“The weather in the summer time
is similar to the Maine or California
coast, hot during the day and cool
at night. Our maintenance gangs
along the highway will be very
much interested in the proress of
your party across Alaska, and I
can assure you of the hearty co-op
eration of our commission in every
way to make this a memorable trip.”
BUSINESS GROWING
A. H. McDonald, popular general
agent for the Alaska Steamship com
pany with headquarters at Anchor
has been advised from Seattle that
L. V. Roach was leaving May 12 on
the S. S. Northwestern for Anchor
age. Mr. Roach will assume du
ties in the Anchorage office as as
sistant agent. The addition to the
working force was made on account
of the increased business in Anch
orage and also to allow Mr. Mc
Donald to visit the interior towns
:n the interest of the company.

persona; d regard to danger which
carried forward the w-rk of repair
of the railway at maximum speed. Of
ten under he.v.-y fire with his men,
he inspired them to continue the
work .n nar.d. He set a splendid ex
ample of devotion to duty by his
coolness, courage and untiring en
ergy. A la. re share of the success
of all ti e rerations is due to the
