KCRB LETTERS - h: SK'WRD GATEWAY pu
blished some interesting letters
that were a correspondance between
the Richardson Highway Transporta
tion Co. & Col. Ohlson of the Alaska
Rwy. We think the people in Chitinp
and along the Trail should write to
Col.Ohlson & let him know that thr
defiant,attitude expressed in the
letter to him that the Gateway pub
lished coming from the Richardson
Hwy Trans.Co.,doesn’t speak for ver
ry many of the people around here
but only a' very small part of the
people here,as most of us don’t feel
that way. We never met Cel.Ohlson’
who is the head of the Gov’t Rwy. /
‘but we have heard that he is quite
a big guy .He must know his business
.to be able to run a railroad as hard
to run as that. We hope that Col.
Ohlson will not think that we symp<
athize with the Transportation Co.
here in 3bhe fight it is making ag
ainst the Gov’t Ry in carrying fr
eight to Fairbanks.Whatever we this
nk might he to our own advantage
now,later we know that it wouldn*t
be a good idea in the long run for
the future,to take freight in comp*
ition with the Ry.If the people of
Fairbanks are as smart as we think
they are they will patronize the fty.
T7e are always going to be very greaV
ly interested in the Richardson Hw;*
and the tourist business & we hope
Col.Ohlson don’t get it in for us
be pause he has a big .advantage, if he
does,the Interior Bepartmant & Mt.
McKinley. By the Editor.
