ina branch the work of s,,rfaciny
and ballasting is now in progress
and will be completed with the end
OF the present summer. Plans have
oeen drawn for a new station at
Cordova and the dock facilities at
that point are remarkably well ar
ranged. The road is we'll equipped
with modern engines AMI cars the
freight cars being especially adapted
for handling heavy shipments of
copper ore from Kennecott.
I'VE are operating an excursion to
Childs glacier on the arrival of each
one of the Alaska Steamship Co.'s
boats. This is an innovation and
following the change in our route
OF the Southwestern Alaska boats
through the inside passage, is re-
sulting in an entirely new tourist
travel to and from Seattle, Ressur-
rection bay and Prince William
Sound points. BY this change also
Juneau and Ketchikan will be given
eight additional boats each month
and the whole Southwestern Alaska
and the interior will be placed in
direct touch with the capital at Ju-
neau.
Generally speaking, Southwest
ern Alaska is in excellent condition.
True, railroad construction has ceas-
ed, which means the elimination of
four to five thousand construction
employees, but many new strikes are
being made and while the progress
along these lines will necessarily
be slow, yet within the next five
years | confidently predict that por-
ton of Alaska as being the most i'm

PLANS DRAWN FOR NEW
STATION AT c0RDO\A

Kenneth C. Kerr, industrial agent
for the Alaska Steamship company,
who recently visited Cordova. is
very enthusiastic over mining pos
sibilities and scenic beauty of this
section of Alaska. The Railway &
Marine News, published at Seattle
contains the following interview with
Mr.. Kerr upon his return to Sc
attic:
81 am surprised myself at the
scenic beauty of the Copper river
route. From out departure at the
dock in Cordova bay to our arrival
at kennecott, our train traversed a
region which eclipses the Grand Can
yon of Arizona, the Yellowstone, the
Yosemite, or Colorado's great gorge.
Far be it for me to use extravagant
phrases in describing this scenery,
but after having travelled over every
railroad of note in this country,
believe we have all their greatest at
fractions duplicated in the beauti-
full Cordova bay. placid lake Eyak,

as that stretching for miles on both
sides of this new road. Surveying
parties are now at work running pre-
liminary lines to the various mining
districts which may become tribu-

Crops Shortened By Drouth

Statistics issued Thursday by
the Pennsylvania Railroad show
that the three-month drouth that
has prevailed throughout the pen
insula was one OF the most disas-
trous to crops that has ever oc-
Cured. The losses in shipments
OF fruit and produce are startling.
The berry crop was cut in hal; and
the loss on apples was enormous.
The shipments OF berries this sea-
son from Delaware and the East
ern Shore OF Maryland and Vir-
ginia were II,279,I92 quarts, as
compared with 2I,528,o3S quarts
last year. The shipments OF ap-
pies were only 1924 baskets this
year, whereas last year they to-
tailed 220,622 baskets. Peaches,
pears. potatoes and plums are also
virtually ruined, it is said.

GOOD WORDS FOR WAUSAU.

Henry L. Green of Chicago, who
visited in Wausau recently, in a let
ter to friend has the following to
say of Wausau, which the PILOT was
given permission to publish, viz:
81 will not attempt now to tell you
OF my impressions of Wausau, in fact
| could not do so in one letter. Not
having been there for SO many years,
and the direction in which l have
since resided, compelling me to look
north through the eyes of your rival,
may account for the limited knowl-
edge l previously had of your city.
Then, again, the modesty of your
people that / have met in recent
years, may have been factor. Suffice
it to say, l was not prepared to wit
ness such marvellous growth and
activity on every side. You seemed
to have an ideal municipality and the
loyalty, enthusiasm and cooperation
of your citizens was most noticeable. "
