RAILROAD MAY GET BOATS
TO HANDLE RIVER FREIGHT
An efficient river service for the
handling of passengers and freight
in connection with the Alaska Rail
road and under the management of
the railroad organization, will be in
augurated perhaps before the end
of the present season if plans now
in the forming can obtain official
sanction at Washington.
The matter of turning the army
transports General Jacobs and Gen
eral Davis over to the Alaskan En
gineering Commission for operation
in connection with the railroad, was
taken up with Major General C. G.
Morton yesterday, during the brief
stay of that officer in Xenana, and
the suggestion met with his hearty
i approval after he had been assured
by Col. Mears that the plan involved
the operation of the boats as part
, of the Government railroad enter
prise and that they would be held
ready at all times to serve the
needs of the War department.
The general explained that it is
the desire of his department to as
sist in the development of Alaska
in every way possible and he was
quick to see the advantages of such
an arrangement—an important link
in the transportation system, giving
needed relief to Alaska shippers and
providing additional tonnage for the
railroad, and saving in maintenance
costs to the War department.
The question of providing Interior
water connection with the railroad
already has been taken up by Col.
Mears, with the Interior department
and now, with the indorsement of
Major General Morton, of the plan
to utilize the army transports, there
is reason to believe the negotiations
wnll have an early and successful
termination.
The use of the army boats as sug
gested would enable the railroad or
ganization to handle through ship
ments to points on the Yukon river
within reasonable distance of Xenana
and would insure more frequent de
liveries and more reliable service
than is possible under present con
ditions
The importance of such a con
nection at Xenana was early recog
nized by Col. Mears but the restric
tions to the activities of his organ
ization are such that he has been
unable thus far to make the neces
sary arrangements.
Arrivals from the coast bring the
report that Pete (Big Pete) Peter
son, former Fairbanks policeman, is
now in Seward where he is working
on a piledriver. He has not yet fully
recovered from the bullet wound
received at the hands of a liquor
crazed foreigner several years ago.
