THE GOVT RR FROF SEWARD TO FAIRBANKS
will be tied-up for 3 weeks or maybe
more, For the mud & gravel have been
sliding & also the rivers have been
rising,very unusual due to the unliv
mitted amount of rain that we don't'
often get here in the Interior. Co\9
Ohls on, Supt, has many'men working or)
getting the R R open^again*
THE GASOLINE FAMINE, or near-famine jn
Fairbanks,due to the tie-up on the R
RR has made it necessary for as many
as 50, or maybeso more, trucks 8c other
vehicles to be carrying gasoline fyom
Valdez to Fairbanks over the Keystope
Canyon route.About ^alf the motors in
Fairbanks seem to be running on this
Trail which is full of scenerybeau
tiful precipices & elbow curves*
Editorial.
A ONE-WAY-TRAIL FOR ONE MONTH is the
biggest need we have right now. the
road from Valdez to Fairbanks is m»
assed by do many trucks & smaller wv
ehicle carrying freight that we do
not want to endanger the lives' of
any of our fine Rd. Comm, boys, any
of our friends, of any of the pop -t
ulation of Alaska. The populations
small at best with a little over 30,
cco whites 8c about an equal No., of
Natives. We would hate to lose or ,
cripple even one, 8c we canTt affor^
to, either, in this country we or$
trying to build up wijzh real he-men.
The Keystone canyon is part of this
road that has a large ammcunt of 43
& 90 degree Curves. There are num n
erous grades, & the road is largely
on the edge of cliffs with room en
uf to hardly pass cars in safety .The
The Keystone Canyon route is one' of
the most beautifull on the Trail,but
altogether with the(Ccnt,on next pp^)
