RAILWAY ENGINEERS
 PASS UP VALDEZ

VALDEZ. Sept. 3.-word has been received by the Valdez Commercial Association that Commissioners Mears and Riggs will not make the trip by way of Matanuska to Ship Creek and come from there together with Chair. man Edes to Valdez and go over the trail to Copper Center, as planned when the commissioners left Fair. banks a few days ago.
 The continuous rains of the mast week have made travel very slow and the commissioners are fearful that they will not be able to get through before snow flies. so they have can. celled their arrangements for saddle horses at Copper Center and will go to Chitina and over the railroad to Cordova.
 Just what their plans are beyond Cordova is not known, but does not look very promising for the commis. sion to make a personal inspection of the Valdez route this season.-valdez Prospector.
