CLUB TO TAKE
ACTIVE PART IN
SCHOOL VOTING
Realizing the importance of re
cording a representative vote at th«
coming school election, the Nenana
Commercial club will make a sys
tematic canvass o{ the town on
Tuesday for the purpose of induc
ing citizens to visit the polls. The
matter was brought to the atten
tion of the club at the regulai
weekly meeting of the organization
last night, and a committee headed
by Wm. Julian was appointed to
make the necessary arrangements
to cover the town thoroughly. Each
member present, in addition, pledged
himself to serve as a special com
mittee of one on election day to
round up all the voters within
reach.
Members of the school board who
were present at the meeting assured
the club that such a campaign as
s contemplated would be welcomed
oy them. They expressed the fear
that voters, in the absence of a con
test to arouse inters!., might not
ivail themselves of the opportunity
to participate in the election unless
specially urged to do so. And it was
nade clear to the club members
hat the polling of a substantial
■ote would assist the school board
'ery materially in the performance
f their duties, and insure favor
ible consideration at Juneau of such
•equests for financial aid as might
>e made by the board from time
o time during the coming year.
The committee appointed to direct
he roundup of voters was given
ul! authority to make such ar
angements as might be deemed
needful to insure the desired re
are
suits. And the committeemen
already on the job. They have ar
ranged with Ed Lund to have a rig
on the street al! day Tuesday, for
the convenience of voters living at
a di '".nee from the polls. It is
possible* that an automobile also
will be impressed into service dur
ing the afternoon for the accom
modation of last-hour voters.
The women voters of the town
wil be asked to give their support
to the vote-getting campaign and a
special committee of women workers
will be appointed to act with the
club committee.
It is also planned to "Tag'’ the
voters as they cast their ballots, the
tags to be worn during the remaind
er of the day as a means of dis
tinguishing those who have voted
from those who have not.
The members of the Commercial
club committee are Wm. Julian, A.
G. Johnson, Bert Tunison. Eli Gray,
M. A. Schaeffer and George Woods.

WAUGH IS URGED
10 MAKE SURVEY
KANTlSHNA R0A0
Co-operating with the Commercial
; club, in the campaign for the con
j struetion of wagon roads in this and
adjacent districts to make possible
i the development of mineral areas
1 now practically inaccessible, and to
serve as feeders to the government
railroad, Frederick D Browne, local
head of the Alaskan Engineering
commission, has addressed a letter
to Major W. H. Waugh, chairman
of the Alaska Road commission,
recommending that survey be made
during the coming summer, of a
suggested wagon road route into the
Kantishna country. The recom
mendation is the result of a trip
made recently by Mr. Browne for
the purpose of looking over the
district to size up road building
possibilities.
“These wagon roads into the
different districts,” Mr. Browne in
formed the Road commission chair
man. “are looked upon favorably by
'he Alaskan Engineering commis-,
"sion as feeders for their railroad,
and it may be eventually that into
some of these districts railroads
may even be built. Eventually the
main line from Seward to Fair
banks must depend more or less for.
the traffic it receives on these
differnt roads. With this in view
I recently started a reconnoissance
to the Kantishna mining district
with a view of obtaining costs for
the construction of a road, but be
cause of the winter conditions it is
not feasible at this time for an
engineer to commit himself as to
costs.
"It is impossible to determine the
character of the country covered
as it is with snow, and it naturally
makes a very great difference in
the cost, whether gravel on the one
hand, or swamps on the other, are
encountered along the lines pro
jected.
"I would liked to have been able
to give some costs, but in view
of the above, and what follows, I
think you will agree with me that
summer is the proper time to get
the information desired.
"In going into the Kantishna I
chose as my route the Riley creek
drainage through a branch of Riley
creek, known as Hines creek. My
reason for assuming this as a start
ing1 point was two-fold. First, it
will make the shortest line between
a junction of the railroad and the
center of the Kantishna mining dis
trict Secondly, being higher in the
hills there are presumably less
swamps and overflow land; the
drainages are naturally not so con
centrated, though there may be
more of them, meaning less in the
way of heavy construction.
On account of the deep snow
that I encountered, and because of
storms that came on during mv
trip, I found that it was imprac
ticable if not impossible, to de- j
termine the character of the terrain
over which we were traveling, that
is, there was no way of telling *
whether the summer weather would
show swamp, bog, moss or gravel,
nor was there any way of determin
ing. except in a very crude manner,'
the real flow of the streams and ,
the difficulties attendant upon}
bridging them. Sufficient in forma-;
tion, however, was obtained to;
show that this route is practical
for a wagon road at least. Five
per cent grades may be secured,
which would be, of course, very
light for a wagon road, and it is
■possible that if my distances are
not too far in error, being esti
mated only, a 3.3'/< equated grade
might be obtained for railroad as
far at least as Middle river, be
yond which point we did not go.
However, I have the authority of a
great many who are familiar with
the country that conditions in that
neighborhood and westerly, toward
Muldrow Glacier, Moose creek. Gla
cier creek, and the center of the
Kantishna activities will not offer
any serious obstacles to the con
tinuation of the road, the first part 1

of which I feel confident can be
negotiated.
"My recommendation is that a
survey be made in the summer
season, passing over the route de
scribed, at which time definite in
formation may be obtained of the
character of the soil, and the va
rious natural obstacles that must
be contended with. It is hardly
necessary to say that a winter
reconnoissance, except under the
most favorable conditions, which
apparently do not exist just now, is
not to be thoroughly relied upon.
"Begin at Weir's "L" Location
Sta. 1(3589-28.7 E. C. at an eleva
tion of 1750, this being on the
bench just north of the junction
of Hines and Riley creeks. Ascend
ing in a westerly direction on left
limit of Hines creek, one side
stream is crossed about three miles
distant. At five miles, cross Hines,
and following up north side of
tributary creek, a flat summit one
half mile in width is reached at
about seven miles from starting
point- Elevation of this summit is
3025. Descending on east branch
of Savage Fork, main Savage Fork
is reached about 11 miles from
place of beginning, elevation at
iunction 2755. Crossing Savage
Fork in same westerly direction a
(addle is reached between Savage
rnd Middle river, altyut 17 miles
from starting pointj at elevation of
ibout 3100 feet. A descent of about
100 feet is then necessary to cross
Middle river, which runs through
ipen country, the river valley proper
>eing about six miles in width at
:his place.”
Mr. Browne’s letter was read at
the regular meeting of the club
held last night. Secretary Joseph
also read a letter which he had
written to Major Waugh relative
'to a petition signed by Kantishna
mining men, asking that the Alaska
Road commission undertake, with
out delay, the work of making a
survey into the Kantishna for a
wagon road. The letter called at
tention to the fact that the Kan
tishna district is on the eve of
large scale development which will
begin just as soon as transporta
tion conditions are improved.
Representative Geo. W. Penning
ton, who is now in Juneau attend
ing the session of the territorial
legislature, is acting for the local
club in road matters, and has sent
reassuring letters indicating that the
head of the Alaska Road commission
is disposed to give local road neels
his immediate consideration.
