CLUB WILL BACK
BRIDGE OEMS
Convinced that the demand for
the immediate construction of bridg
es to span the Nenana and Tanana
rivers is based on sound logic, the
Nenana Commercial club will go
into the matter in the most thor
ough manner possible, with a view
to having figures and arguments
ready for presentation to Chairman
Mears, of the Alaskan Engineering
commission, upon his arrival here
from the coast early next month.
The Bridge question was dis
cussed at great length at the club
meeting last night, and it was quite
evident to those present tha delay
ing the construction of the bridges
until after the closing of the gap
between the present ends of steel,
as planned by Colonel Mears, will
work irreparable harm to the In
terior country by delaying the com
pletion of the railroad by at least
three years, at no saving to the
Government.
At the conclusion of the discus
sion, the chair was instructed to
appoint a committee of three to
gather data on the bridge question,
for the purpose of convincing Col
onel Mears, if possible, of the ne
cessity of completing the Interior
end of the railroad, by constructing
bridges, in advance of the Broad
Pass rail connection, rather than
after it. Herman Anderson, VV. II.
Gilcher, and R. S. McDonald were
appointed to attend to this very
important work, with a request that
they endeavor to secure the co
operation of the Fairbanks Commer
cial club.
August Peterson pointed out to
the club that the development of
the Nenana coal field and the re
vival of gold mining throughout the
Interior '•ountry are largely depend
ent, if nut wholly *so, upon the
maintenance of uninterrupted rail
way traffic between the coal field
and the Tanana river. The de
mand for low-priced fuel, which was
one of the arguments advanced by
those who first advocated the con
struction of the Government rail
road, is greater now, by far, he
declared, than it was when railroad
construction was started. The de
velopment of coal mines south of
Nenana, which is now well under
way, will solve the fuel problem if
those engaged in coal development
are able to ship their product, with

out interruption, from mine to nav
igable water. A ferry might be
used, in a pinch, Mr. Peterson be
lieves, to move the coal across the
Tanana river during the summer
months, pending the construction of
a permanent bridge; but there can
be no extensive coal mine develop
ment or a resumption of gold min
ing operations on anything like a
comprehensive scale until there is a
permanent crossing at the Nenana
river.
Mr. Peterson said that he had no
doubt a bridge could be built at
Nenana crossing with material avail
able locally that would serve the
railroad in a satisfactory manner
| until such time as the commission
lean bring in the steel for a per
imanent structure. He reminded the
jmembers of the construction of a
I home-made bridge at Dawson, when
both engineers and material were
hard to obtain. The Klondike
bridge, he said, withstood the swift
current and heavy ice of the Klon
dike river for fifteen years, and
would doubtless be there yet had
it not been blown out with dyna
mite, after the construction of the
Ogilvie steel bridge at a more con
jvenient point on the river. Mr.
1 Peterson suggested that a large part
of the money that is now being
expended in building a camp at the
north end of the canyon might have
been used to better advantage in
bridge construction. Such a bridge
as he had in mind, he said, would
enable the commission to maintain
uninterrupted traffic between Ne
nana and the canyon, thus obviating
i the necessity of large storage plants
and warehouses at the end of steel.
Mr. Peterson expressed the belief
that the commission would have no
difficulty in having a substantial
bridge built by contract, by con
■ tractors who would be willing *o
guarantee that their work would
stand up.
In conclusion, Mr. Peterson said
that if the commission continues to
operate the railroad in three sec
tions, as at present, until the Broad
Pass gap is closed and bridge ma
,terial is hauled in over the line
: from the coast, entailing a needless
delay of several years, the people
of Interior Alaska might as well
quit right now.
The mail question was brought
up by W. II. Gilcher and the sug
gestion made that the co-operation
of Chairman Maars be sought in an
effort to secure the contract for the
Government railroad. The Govern
ment at present is paying approxi
mately $80,000 for a winter service
that is neither satisfactory to the

The club also discussed at con
siderable length the wage question,
and the committee appointed to look
into the bridge matter also will put
the wage proposition in a presenta
ble form for submission to the com
mission chairman when he arrives. .
I*, was the opinion of the club that,
an advance of at least 20 percent,
would be necessary to bring the
wage scale up to a level with living
costs anticipate I for the coming
season. To ask for a 10 percent
raise now, it was pointed out, would
merely mean that another demand
would have to be made a few
months hence.
