That portion of the Government
railroad, between Seward and An
chorage, which caused so much trou
ble last winter has been put in such
condition as to warrant the belief
that railroad communication be
tween the two coast towns will not
be interrupted this winter, according
to Senator Dan Sutherland, oldtimer
of the Ruby district, who arrived
over the Broad Pass trail on Sat
urday. The senator made the trip
by rail from Seward to the end of
steel flbrth of Talkeetna. Some
Work was still in progress on show
sheds and bridges between Seward
and Anchorage, but the line is open
to traffic and it is believed on the
coast that the road can be kept open
throughout the remainder of the
winter.
Some work, the senator says, also
is in progress near the end of steel,
north of Talkeetna, where a steam
shovel is engaged in moving gTave!
from a side cut. The cut is a long
one, but the gravel appears to be
movin easily and there is ample
dumping room on the lower side ol
the track. The end of steel is abou'
nine miles north of Talkeetna, wit!
the grade completed beyond the cu1
for a distance of approximate!)
thirty miles. And when the steam
shovel operations have been com
pleted at that point, it will be pos
sible to extend the track withou'
more delay, all the way to Indiar
river.
Senator Sutherland says that Col
onel Mears is a busy man. He h
here, there and everywhere, always
on the job and apparently eager tc
speed the completion of the road
William Gerig, assistant chief engi
neer, is also a busy man and :•
very popular among the people ol
Anchorage and the men along the
line. He is not a young man, bu:
he is very active and appears tc
understand his business.
Asked regarding the recent labor
trouble at Juneau, the senator sai(
that the strike had not amounted tc
much and that things were moving
along again about as usual when he
left. He had heard some talk oi
Bolshevism on the coast of Alaska
, and was ready to believe that then
may be a few agitators scattered
over that part of Alaska; but he s
, of the opinion that reports of radi
. calism in the North have beer
t stretched a little,
i Senator Sutherland has the dis
[ tinction of being the only man it
Alaska who has been a member ol
the territorial legislature since the
commencement of lawmaking in the
Territory. He was elected a mem
ber of the first senate by the Fourth
division and was the only member
of the fourth legislature with an

unbroken record. His last term ex
pired when the last session ended.
Since leaving the Ruby district
'several years ago, the senator has
jbeen engaged much of the time in
I fishing along the coast. He is now
enroute back to his old stamping
ground and may re-engage in min
ing.
I Regarding politics on the coast.
Senator Sutherland says that the
chief interest at present centers in
the contest for membership on the
Republican national committee,
Charles E. Herron and Milo Kelly
both being engaged in an active
campaign for the place. J. R. Heck
man, who has been endorsed by the
Republicans of Cordova and Ketchi
kan, is not a candidate, Sutherland
says, and he is not sure that Heck
man will accept the job if an at
tempt is made to force it upon him.
George Hazlett, of Cordova, is
out for delegate to the national
convention, to be held at Chicago,
commencing June 8.
Senator Sutherland firmly believe?
the Republicans will sweep the coun
try next November. He blames the
Democrats for the failure of Con
gress to ratify the peace treaty,
declaring that they refused to accept
any of the reservations proposed,
when they knew the country de
manded certain of the changes pro
posed by the Republicans.
The senator says that Wickersham
will not be a candidate for dele
gate from Alaska, no matter what
may be the outcome of the pending
contest.
Senator Sutherland mushed over
the trail from Talkeetr.a. accom
panied by Erick Johnson (Big
Erick), and took notes along the
way, so that he has been able to
;give The News an accurate descrip
tion of the trail, with the distances
j between stops and the time re
quired to mush from point to point.
This is of particular interest at this
time, because of the heavy travel
toward the coast. The following is
the statement prepared by him:
The one hundred and forty-mile
journey from steel to steel along
the right-of-way of the Government
railroad can be traversed by the
average musher in a period of seven
days, if the trail is good and weath
er conditions favorable. The jour
ney is accomplished by the follow
ing stages:
First day: From the end of steel
or, the Nenana section, thirteen miles
to Moreno’s roadhouse, with an in
termediate house (Davis'), eight
miles from steel and five miles from
Moreno’s. This stage of the journey
is up hill and down dale for the
entire distance, with a good hard
trail.
Second day: Twenty-four miles
to Panorama roadhouse, at Jack
river. The first five miles is over
hilly trail, and then on the Nenana
river for about nineteen miles; the
river trail is hard and mostly glare
ice. There is no intermediate house
on this stage and the traveler
j should carry h;s lunch.
Third day: Twenty-four miles to
Broad Pass roadhouse, located at
the summit. The first eight miles
of this stage, partly up hill, brings
one to Carlson’s roadhouse, anl
then on. over sixteen miles of com
paratively level trail.
Fourth day; Seventeen miles to
Sullivan's Summit roadhouse, with
no intermediate house; trail fairly
level and winding, with Mount Mc
Kinley in view for most of the dis
tance.
Fifth day: Twenty-four miles t<>
Cronan's, so named for John Cronar.,
a famous chief and mighty hunter.
About midway is Huricane gulch, a
deep mountain gorge with steep
trail on each side, about one mile
