flcent little city is the opening, up of
that vast Kenai peninsula country all
the way to Cook Inlet. No great
stretch of imagination is necessary to
realize that. The country down there
is wonderful!
“It is unbelieveable to me that the
Department of the Interior or govern
ment officials would block any at
tempts in the construction of that road
for the reason that it would parallel
the railroad, and therefor, a competi
tor of the Alaska Railroad. That is
folly. The construction of that small
piece of connecting road would mean
an increase tonnage the railroad
for development work of all sorts
would begin in that rich district which
has long remained dormant simply on
account of lack of proper transporta
tion. Why, there is not a railroad in
the United States but what is not
crisscrossed and paralleled hundreds
of times by wagon roads and high
ways.
“For many years in the Interior, my
home, it was common knowledge that
we could tell the season of the year
simply by looking up the freight char
ges to outlying districts from Fair
banks. This with respect to the
small railroad which was then operat
ing, the Tanana Valley shortline. Ac
cording to the season the charges
went up and down like a thermometer,
due entirely, to wagon road conditions.
The wa/on roads bf the Interior de
veloped new business for the railroad
in those days. It is the thing Seward
should fight hard for down here.
More roads!
“Think not for a moment that Fair
banks was handed its roads on a sil
ver platter or that, like Topsy, they
just grew up. Not so. We had to
fight for the magnificent road system
we now can boast of. It is now pos
sible to drive over 600 miles in the In
terior without doubling back.
“The Kenai country is without a
doubt a woundrous region especially
so from the standpoint of mining,
agriculture, fox farming, fishing, hunt
ing and tourists. These observations
I have made are practically the views
anyone would gain in paying their
first visit to that vast country so rich
in potential resources. And I believe
I am not mistaken in the views that
I have taken. Don’t forget. Start
something. Get after that road!”
