THOS. A. MARQUAM RETURNS
FROM TRIP OVER THE PASS*
Enroute to Fairbanks from a hur
ried trip to the coast end of the
Government railroad, Thos. A. Mar
quam, prominent attorney of the up
per town and Republican committee
man for the Fourth division, arrived
in Nenana on Thursday night and
went to Fairbanks yesterday. It was
his first trip over the Government
railroad and he was much impressed
by what he saw enroute and at An
chorage. The scenery along the rail
road, i he says, surpasses anything
that he has seen anywhere, both in
the Broad Pass region and in the;
mountains between Anchorage and
Seward. He predicts that the rail
road, at no distant date, will be
rated among the great scenic routes
of the world, with many thousands
of tourists making the Northern trip
every year.
Mr. Marquam says that he obtain
ed a splendid view of Mt. McKinley
from a point on the railroad near
Talkeetna and many fine views were
obtained from the windows of the *
observation car on the ride between
Anchorage and Seward. The entire
route abounds with beautiful scene
ry.
Anchorage impressed the Fair
banksan as being a. very good town.
It is attractive in appearance and
seemed to him to be a very busy
place, although he heard it remark
ed that it .was somewhat duller than
usual at the time of his visit. The
stores he visited, however, were do
ing what appeared to him to be a
good business and he notices that
the two picture houses were well
filled during the several nights he
was there.
Anchorageites, Mr. Marquam says,
are enthusiastic over the future of
their town and he heard some of
them express the belief that the pop
ulation would number ten thousand

The navy is spending a lot ofj
money in development work in the
Matanuska region, but the coal, he
noted, was selling in Anchorage at
a price considerably higher than is
charged for the product of the Nc
nana product. And he was told that
consumers were not satisfied with
the quality, owing to the presence
of dirt and other foreign matter.
Mr. Marquam heard that the navy
has decided to erect bunkers at An
chorage, for use during the open j
season. But it will be necessary to '
have bunkers also at Seward for j
use during the-winter months, when ;
the Anchorage harbor is closed to i
navigation.
One of the things that impressed
Mr. Marquam was the apparent lack j
of discord in the Anchorage division. |
Everyone seems to be satisfied with J
conditions, but as soon as one starts ■
down the northern slope of Broad
Pass complaints are the rule rather
than the exception.
The trail was fairly good on the
coast end, but Mr. Marquam says
the road on the Healy end is nothing
to brag about and he noticed that
the freight teams were not able to
haul very large loads. There is no
snow at. all for a number of miles
south of Healy and the road is al
most bare as far south as Hersh
berger’s camp.
Mr. Marquam made the trip back
with a commission mail rig and was
four clays and a half between ends
of steel. He went to the coast to
confer with National ommitteeman
John C. McBride and George G.
Hazelett, of Cordova, who has been
indorsed by Coast Republicans for
governor. They were met at Seward
and a very satisfactory conference
held, Mr. Marquam receiving the as
surance that Committeeman McBride
would back the organization in all
matters.
