Freight destined for points along
the Tanana, is brought from St.
Michael by the large boats and after
reaching Tanana, is transferred to
the small draft boats or loaded into
light draft barges at the mouth OF
tie Yukon and after reaching this
point, Tanana, these barges are TAX
en- to Fairbanks and way stations
by the light draft boats. Such a
condition necessitates the division
of the freight of one large steamer
to several small ones.
"If the railroad terminal is on the
Tanana river, freight coming via rail
cannot be directly transferred to
the large boats which supply the Yu-
kon river. Moreover, if the terminal
is at some point on the Yukon, then
the boats which ply the greatest
waterway in the country, will be able
to secure their freight direct from
the railroad, and transportation
along the entire river route will be
quickened By this method, all of
the many tributaries will secure
their freight much more quickly than
if it were loaded onto the light
draft vessels on the Tanana, trans
ferred again at Tanana and then
sent on it's way to the various
streams tributary to the Yukon.
"Tanana is and always has been
the main transfer point for nearly
all of the main tributaries of the
Yukon river. Whether the rail term
inal is established on the Tanana or
the Yukon, this center will remain
the strategic point for the distribu-
tion and transfer of all freight and
passenger traffic which passes here.
'The town of Tanana is ideally sit
uated both from the standpoint OF
townsite and basic location. The
large level tract included in and
surrounding the present townsite, is
perfectly drained by natural drainage.
All the vicinity is free from over
flow even in the very highest water.
Extremely good docking and wharfage
is found here. There is no better
on the entire river waterway OF
Alaska.
Fort Gibbon adjoins the town on
the west The military authorities
of that post can verify all of the
statements contained herein Only
one of the military transports ever
reaches Fairbanks. Thus it is read
lily seen that added expense would

river, wherefore one of the govern

Chamber Of Commerce which was
recently reorganized. and it is safe
to say that the members of the
committee appointed by that body
will leave no stone unturned under
which might lie any chance Of Sc
curing the terminal Of the Alaska
railroad for Tanana.
The possibility Of securing the
terminal Of the railroad for this city
was thought of at the time Of the
passage Of the Alaska railroad bill.
but it was not until late spring that
the citizens determined upon carry
ing the matter into the councils OF
the highest government officials. 1t
was then that the letter setting
forth the advantages of Tanana was
written.
In the meantime the members Of
the Alaska Railroad commission had
been named by President Wilson
and had been given orders to pro-
coed North and start the preliminary
surveys of the possible routes. All
of the surveys SO far made do not
include territory lying north Of the
Yukon river and the citizens Of Tana.
ma realize that their only chance
is that the survey work will BE- con-
tinued next summer.
The letter Of Mayor George F..
Bemis of Tanana showing the con-
tentions Of the citizens Of this town
is as follows:
The Alaska citizen., 1914-10-12

II the United States government
eventually concludes to build the
to-be-constructed Alaska railroad in
to the country lying north OF the
Yukon river, all of the citizens of
towns lying along the river will be
looking forward with expectancy to
the time when a terminus for the
road will be determined upon, those
of each place hoping that it will be
established in their particular local
ity. The result is that the price
of real estate in all of the river
towns is holding it's own and tina.
in the most likely places the citi
zens are boosting for all they are
worth.
Among those who are boosting the
hardest and who believe that their
town has a chance at the terminus
are the citizens of Tanana. Secure
in the knowledge that Tanana is
the center of all steamboat activity
on tfe Tanana and Yukon rivers,
the people of this city are quietly.
but persistently, working to the end
that the terminal be established here.
All of the old quarrels have been
laid aside with this one idea in mind
and the citizens are now boosting
with united effort. They have
already authorized their mayor to
ask the Alaska Railroad commission
to investigate the advantages Offer
