Seward is proposing a new railroad
running northwestward up ressurrection
river valley to henai and thence to
unchorage. This follows the air route from
Seward to senai and is a beautiful piece
of scenery and a very low grade.
we have heard rumors of late of
such a proposal but with I omer as the
ocean terminus. In fact when the original
railroad was built it was a toss up
between Saward and I omer as to who woult
get to be the tidewater terminus.
It was finally decided to use Seward
because of the piece of road which was
already built along the present right
¡.

& omer has many advantages for
such a moject. It vast agricultural
possibilities--It has coal in abundance
has
water within a
few hundred feet of the shore--It has
wonderful shelter from our worst winds
big
and sea food products a large potential
back hawl for west coast ships. Last
but not least it has a year around ice
free harbor.
If a railroad such as is prov
osed is ever built, I omer will have to
be considered seriously as a terminus.
