Representative-Elect Geo. W. Per.
nington, who recently made the trip
over the Broad Pass trail, enroute
to the territorial capital to attend
the forthcoming: session of the legis
lature, has sent to Dr. J. R. Bowen,
of this city a detailed account of
his trip between the ends of steel
on the government railroad, and
states in his letter that he is “very
highly pleased with the prospects
and very enthusiastic over the possi
bilities of diverting travel and
traffic in general this way.”
“1 do not doubt for a moment,”
continues the lawmaker, “that if
an amount, let us say, not to ex
ceed ten per cent of the money
and labor that has been expended
on the Fairbanks-Chitina trail, could
be devoted to the improvement >f
the Nenana-Talkeetna trail, it would
result in making this route, beyond
question, the quickest, safest, lea-t
difficult and therefore, the logical
route to the coast from all points
in the Tanana valley.”
Mr. Pennington tells of the re-'
caption accorded Nenanaites at Tal !
keetna and Anchorage, where no
opportunity was lost to boost the
Inleror. In this Mr. Pennington
was ably assisted by VV. A. Ryan;
and E. L. l.aughlin. Mr. Penning-j
ton made a brief address before the
Anchorage Chamber of Commerce,
on the possibilities of trail improve
ment, with the result that a very
substantial amount was voted by
the chamber, to be used for trail
improvement, in conjunction with
the Talkeetna Commercial club. Th.
work was to have been started at
once.
Mr. Pennington also tells of a
very educational visit with the prin
cipal of the Anchorage schools, and
on the night of the day the letter
was written, he was to have been
a guest of the Anchorage school
board.
The detailed account of the out
ward trip over the trail, as re
corded from day to day in Mr.
Pennington’s diary, and which was
printed in full by the Anchorage
Times, upon the arrival of the trav
jelers at the coast metropolis, is re
! printed below, for the benefit of
those who may have occasion to
\ make use of the trail, now generally
' recognized as the “Shortcut route”
between the coast and Interior
Alaska:

I
■ 8 a. m., enroute to Anehorape via
i
Broad Pass. Reached end of steel
2 p. m. Dor team there awaitinR
us. Lost no time in RettinR away.
Weather dcliRhtful, health excellent;
| feelinR physically fit to face any
hardship, however fierce. Dors vo"y
[ambitious and hard to manape.
Driver’s attention diverted for a
^moment, and they dashed away, up
| settinR our Alaskan coach, spilling
i both passenRers and bapRape. oon
j had them checked, reloaded while
indulpinp in a few endearinp ad
jectives particularly applicable to
doRs. Reached end of first day’s
journey at 4 p. m. i.'novcntful
| day except our spill at the start.
Time to Sinpletor’s r mdhouse, a
'distance of eipht miles, l Vjho irs.
Jan. 14.---Only «iphteen r.-'les tt»
ro today. Felt no necessity to make
early start. Temperature 5 below.
Trail very bare of snow and rather
hard drillinp for tlie dops. Charlie
Smith just ahead with heavy load.
Mr. W. A. Ryan’s party with three
outfits also one day ahead, which
preatly modifies the difficulties i f
the trail for us. So far our trip
has been a joy-ride. Morris Mor
rino’s tonipht. Time 4 Vi hours.
Jan. 15.—Trail today rather
rouph, and difficult to pepotiate
until we descended to the Nenana
river. There we found it most ex
cellent. Passed throuph the upper
half of the Nenana canyon. Trail
confined to base of hills in canyon,
but neither danperous nor difficult
if proper caution is used. Our
cruiser friends stood me on my
head twice, in descendinp the hill
Did not lose my temper, nor use j
any unladylike lanpuape. Not the j
remotest doubt but I am bepinninp
to sprout wings. Distance covered,
20 miles, Jack river; Davis keeper.
Time 4Vi hours.
Jan. 16. — Temperature much
lower, 20 degrees below zero. Trail
from Jack river to summit all that
one could wish. Had the comfort of
riding the entire day without a
single mishap. Mountain scenery in
describably beautiful. Feel sure
that our Alaskan railway will some
day be one of the great scenic j
routes of the world. Arriv 1 Lo
Gault's Summit house at 1:30 p. m.
Time 4 Vi hours.
Jan. 17—Weather still ideal fori
traveling. Dogs holding out fine,
and trail so much better than we !
anticipated that we are indulging
in all manner of self-congratulation
that our choice fell to this route.
No hardships so far, of any char
acter whatsoever. Down hill pull
all day. Sullivan’s roadhouse, 20
miles. Time 3 Vi hours.
I
Jan. 18.—This has been our long-,
est and most difficult day. En
countered some rather ugly looking
water on Indian river, but succeeded
in pulling around it without a
wet foot. Indian river open in
many places owing to the unusually
mild weather for the past month,
but no overflows and no part of
it as difficult to cover as many
other streams one finds here in
Alaska. Indian river, 8:30 p. m
Time 10 H- hours. Distance 38
miles
Jan. 10. Reached Deadhorse 12
M., found Mr. and Mrs. Ryan and
party resting over for a day. After
hasty lunch came on to Talkeetna.
Distance 40 miles from Indian river.
Time 0 hours. We are now at end
of steel and in two days shall take
train for Anchorage. Have mad”
recoril trip front N'enana to Tal
keetna, for which much credit is
due our friends front Nomina who
broke the trail just ahead of us.
To my mind, the fact is now es
tablished that even a very mod
erate outlay of money and labor
will make the trail from Talkeetna
to Nenana, te shortest, safest and
most feasible winter route to Ne
nana, Fairbanks and other points
in the Tanana valley.

surfacing gang, who went Outsid»
