ORR STAGE LINE TOEXPER|MENT
 WITH AUTOS

The Orr Stage Company will try the experiment of operating automo- piles on the government trail be- tween Chitina and Fairbanks next winter, according to a statement made by Volney T. Richmond, general man. ager of the Northern Commercial Company. who own and operate this line. MT. Richmond arrived from San Francisco on yesterdays steamer and Is stopping at the Windsor hotel until Thursday, when he will leave for his headquarters at Fairbanks.
 When asked by Times representa- tive if there was any truth in the report that the stage company intend ed putting automobiles on the line, MT. Richmond admitted that such g plan had been under consideration for some time, and arrangements had been perfected whereby the expert ment would be made. "Of course you understand that the last winter has been an exceptional one as to climatic conditions, and while 1t has been possible to operate autos on the Chitina trail at intervals and with light loads, to maintain a regular schedule of three trips a week and provide not only for the carrying of passengers, but also heavy shipments of mail and express, requires machines built for this purpose. In order to find out if 1t is feasible to operate cars, during the winter season, on this run, we have already shipped two lief frey trucks into Fairbanks, and they will arrive there about the latter part of May. These autos are in use by the government and are recognized as the most powerful and best adap ted machine for the most difficult roads. We will try them out ir freighting from Fairbanks to the creeks this summer, and do not ex pect to experience any trouble in demonstrating that they are the ma chine that will do the work. If the experiment is successful and heavy loads can be hauled over the inter for roads, there is no reason why they cannot handle the snow on the gov ernment trail during the winter months"

No Recommendation by Commission

WASHINGTON, April 2O-President Wilson's decision on the route of the proposed government railroad through Alaska puts In motion the mos. ex- tensive governmental railway project since the linking of the East ana the Pacific coast by the tIans-continental railway system. Like the latter, the new project has the two-fold aim of opening the way for pioneers and set tiers in this new and almost unknown region of vast virgin resources, and at the same time providing an outlet for these resources to the seaboard, and trade routes to the Pacific states and the Orient
 The new problem has the added problem of climatic conditions in this farnorthern region, it's short seasons, and a country of mountains and gla- ciers quite different from the plains across which most of the trans-conti- mental route stretched. Already, how ever, the development of Alaska has dispelled much of the popular idea of a region of snow and ice, and has disclosed rich and fertile agricultural
 sections in addition to the boundless resources of coal, copper and other minerals and fur bearing animals Thus far private enterprise has de-
 vised the only means for penetrating this little known region, but now for the first time the government takes in hand the building and operation of a railway 1000 miles long, running through the heart of the country. President Wilson had before him an enormous amount of data on Alaska to aid in his decision as to which of the proposed two routes from Prince William sound to Fairbanks should be followed. He had no recommends dation from the Alaska Engineering Commission which made the investi- gation, however, the commissioners confining their report to a full state

most of the time, heavier equipment passing over the line only when min ing machinery is to be moved inland 1t was proposed to continue the road along Turnagain Arm for thirty miles, then swing northward up the east shore of Knik Arm, crossing that in- let at it's head and follow the Suslt- na valley to Chulitna pass, emerging on the banks of Chulitua river. Fol lowing the Chulitna to Broad pass, the line would make a right angle to find it's way via the canyons of the Nenana river to the banks of the Panama along which the final stretch to Fairbanks would lay.
 It was suggested that during the summer months Knik horbor, on the east shore of Knik Arm would be an available terminal saving 115 miles of rail haul to and from Seward. The harbor is ice closed in winter, while Seward and Cordoya are both ice free roadsteads.
 Cordova harbor, it had been report ed, is more desirable for a treminal of the line because the great depth of water al Seward makes anchorage difficult, The Seward route, how ever, was closer to the coal fields and to the known mineral belts than the Cordova line and it was argued that the route of the Copper River rail road made 1t subject to the moods or the glaciers among which it threads its way into the river mouth.
 All reports looked to the eventual extension of the system to the Yukon from Fairbanks and also discussed additional branches to tap productive localities.
 Probably the greatest tonnage for the system will come from the coal mines of the Matanuska or Boring river regions. Whether the Boring field would supply suitable coal for navy use or not has been a matter of

Sheridan glacier flats. Making it's way across network of smaller streams which give the river an out let to the sea. the line finally turns northward and passes between Miles and Chllds glaciers, follows the course of the Copper river all the way to Chitina, where 1t turns east again to reach the copper mines.
 It is from Chitina that the proposed route to Fairbanks. via Cordova. con templates the building of BIO miles of new road. The line would contin- ue up the Copper river until the river swings to the east, then strike di- rectly towards Evan Lake without serious grades to encounter. Beyond the lake the route lies close to the shores of the Tangle lakes that well deserve their name, until it emerges on the broad delta where rise the sour, ces of the Panama river up which the final stretch to Fairbanks would be laid.
 This would form the trunk line, but as feeder branches are contemplated to the Boring river, Matanuska and Susitna valley regions to open the vast coal and other mineral deposits the total mileage of the proposed branches would be 42O
 Two routes to the Boring river field were suggested, one via Katalla and the other via Lake Charlotte. II has been urged that the Katalla route would open the coal road to attack from open sea in case of war, while the Lake Charlotte line, 12 miles in land, would be protected from ships guns by intervening hills

ment of the facts regarding eacn route.
 Since the bill appropriating s35,. 00O,O00 for the construction of the line last year, the commission has had hundreds of men at work locat- ing and surveying along both routes Additional information has been placed before the president as it be. came available and in anticipation of the beginning of work early in the spring the commission has been mak. ing inquiries as to the equipment available on the Panama canal and on other government tasks and other wise making ready to fling a well equipped construction army into the northern territory as soon as the presidents decision was made known
 Each of the proposed routes-one known as the Cordova- Fairbanks rouye and the other the Seward Fairbanks route-contemplated the purchase oi an existing railway line. The ques tion lay in either Seward on the west shore of Prince William sound, ol Cordova on the east shore as the tide water terminal of the government system.
 The two routes were approximate ly the same length and estimates o construction costs did not vary wide ly. The issue before the president probably lay in the price at which the existing lines could be obtained Neither route presented serious engi neering difficulties,
