STEAM SLEDS FOR ALASKA.
Leon GiIkey of Green Bay will Accom-
pany the Train from Chicago.

Green Bay, Wis, Nov. S.-T Special /
Leon Gilkey Of this city has gone to Chi
cago TO accompany the train OF Commit
patent steam slcds from Chicago. where
the train is being butt, to Alaska. The
train belongs to an organization known
as the Alaska company. with headquar-
tiers III Chicago. 1t is capitalized at
$5.o0o.opo The officers are c. l. Ken
dali, president; \. !. Auburt. vicc-prcsi-
dent: Edgar Il. Giles, secretary, and
Charles +. Perry. treasurer. Il. w.
Gilkey of this city IS one of the nine
directors.
1t will probably be nearly month be-
fore the train is ready for shipment. The
apparatus was patented several years ago
by James T. Commit. then of Cconto, and
was designed for use in the northern lum-
bcrng woods. but has never been praCti-
cally applied. He has now sold the pat
ent to the Alaska company. The engine
being built has two toothed driving
wheels feet in diameter and & inches
wide. weighing 10000 pounds each, and
the steering gear is attached TO the for
ward s!cds. The fuel is to be supplied
by the timber growing along the route.
The freight cars attached are supposed
TO carry 10000 pounds each and the pas
Scn-er ears fifty persons each. the whole
train TO be mounted on runners.
The route Oh which il is designed to
run the train IS from Dawson City TO St.
Micha"l's via the Yukon river. a distance
of 1885 miles, and should it prove TO be
successful other trains will be put on
other routes Among the directors are
several wcll-knoWn men along the Green
Bay shore. hence the result will be
watched with much local interest by peo-
pie Of Brown, oconto and Marnette
counties, and of Menominec county,
