VALDEZ TO RENT BUILDING
FOR POST OFFICE QUARTERS

The announcement that the govern
ment has decided to rent quarters for
the postoffice rather than build to re-
place the office destroyed by the fire,
is disappointment to the people of
Valdez, as ii was hoped that the gov
eminent would erect a building on
the former site of the postoffice which
would hose both the offices of the
Alaska Road Commission and the
postoffice.

NEW EQUIPMENT

RAILROAD

The Copper River & Northwestern
Ry. is preparing to handle an immense
copper tonnage during the coming win
ter and spring. For many months
past this road has been enjoying an
era of great prosperity brought about
by the steady movement of the red
metal as we'll as a new Industrial ac-
tivity along it's line. The road has
been operated without serious delays
since December, 1918, the one excep-
ton being the trouble caused by high
water during the terrific hot spell of
July, which proved to be not at all
serious after the water had subsidized
The work of repairs was pushed with
all possible speed and the shipments
of copper were resumed early in
August upon larger scale than ever
before.
The railroad company has placed
an order for additional equipment to
meet growing traffic conditions. The
first order is for Is box cars and three
special cook and caboose cars, the
order for these Is cars being awarded
to the Seattle Car & Foundry Co.
for delivery this fall. The cook and
caboose cars are being built upon en-
tirely new and original design, being
equipped as rotary tenders for prop
erly housing and caring for employees
and trainmen during any unusal trip
with the rotaries where there may be
danger of the men being kept out all
night from one of the main sta
tions. These cars are being fitted up
with large ranges and are so con-
structed that quite a number of men
can be comfortably berthed and fed.

This is arranged so that sacked cop

carried on at each door at the same

year it Is expected that 5000 tons coal
will have been distributed along the
entire length of the road for emer-
gency use of the steam shovel crews.
The three locomotives will have a
4S inch wheel base, 20 by % inch

lions are being taken by the company
to insure tn successful operations Of
the road during the winter. The last
two wintres have clearly demonstrated
that this railroad can be operated
throughout the snow season v It'll lesa
delay than might arise from damage
caused by excessive July heat, which
fact has reversed the opinion previous
ly held by experienced railroad men
that winter operations on an Alaskan
railroad were impossible. It is true
that the two last seasons were not
quite as severe as many other win
tiers and no person can suggest in
advance what weather conditions
nigh be expected in this part of the
territory. The fact that the company
is going to SO great an expense and
trouble to properly handle the traffic
over the road during the winter, is an
indication not only of the Importance
Of this line as the most important
tonnage producer In Alaska at the
present time, but 1t shows that its
owners have such faith in the country
and its possibilities that nothing viii
be overlooked In maintaining the road
to the highest standard of efficiency.

BRIGHT FUTURE
IS PREDICTED
FOR CORDOVA

CHITINA, Oct. 9-Last Thursday
evening Mr.. Falcon Joslin addressed
the few people left in Chitina, on the
subject of Transportation, and in a
very able and interesting manner,
showed the growth of transportation
in the United States from the turnpike
road, to the present magnificent rail-
road systems.
He showed how this had all been
brought about by private enterprise,
but stated that he growth had stop
ped by reason or harsh and uncon-
sidered legislation. He ives very
frankly opposed to Governement
ownership, but stated that owing to
the conditions he had mentioned 1t
was impossible to get private capital
to go any further, so he had done
everything in his power to assist in
bringing about the present Govern
ment Road now under construction.
He could not see how any other route
than the Copper River had been select.
ed, unless it was fear of the political
demagogues who would have been
only too glad to charge the administra-
tion with taking a white elephant off
the hands of the Guggenheims, but
maintained that eventually either this
administration or some other would
have to take this road if they were
to give Government ownership a fair
chance. He spoke of the excellent
work done by the Chamber of Com.
merce of Cordova through it's Pres.-
dent, Mr.. Hazelett, and admitted that
they had compiled facts and figures
Regarding the possible tonnage of this
road that were a revelation to him.
He babe the people be of good cneer
and predicted a great future for Chiti-
ma, and still greater for Cordova which
he said could not escape being the
home of one or more great smelters.
He expressed the hope and conviction
that very short time would see us
relieved of the evils of being admins
tered by a bunch of bureacrats at
Washington, and that a Board with
headquarters in Alaska and composed
of Alaskans would soon be attending
to all matters pertaining to the coun-
try. His address was thoroughly en-
joyed by those present.
The A. BIS reorganizad for the win.
ter least Wednesday night with a fair
attendance of members. Next We'd
nesday the officers for the ensuing
year will be placed in nomination.
The A. BIS gave moderately sue
cessful dance on Saturday night.
Mccarthy is rejoicing in new Com
missioner in the person of Mr.. w.
R. Faddiss and many of us hope tina,
the Judge will 'Be not weary in well
doing"
Chitina has legitimate grievance
against Cordova. When Chitfna wa,
deprived of her licenses in a manner
that makes us blush when we hear
the term free country" Cordova
could see nothing but her own gain In
the situation, and neither newspaper
nor individual raised their voice in
protest although there are gentlemen
living in Cordova who have induced
men to put their little savings of a
life time in Chitina real estate. Now
if Cordova is put in the dry column
next year id the same manner that
Chitina was this it will serve her
right because illegal acts of officials
left unchallenged become precedents
which seem to govern everything In
the courts.
