CABLE ROUTING
 TO BE CHANGED
Will Run Direct to Ketchikan in Future, Says Head Of System,
 Colonel Scone

"It .s desired that you inform Che mayor that this odicc took up with Washington Che question Of making changes m Che routing of Che sitka- Juneau cable ao Chat Che "Y" at Fan- shaw would be cut out and Che cable brought into Petersburg by laying approximately 40 miles Of cable. with a view to improving Che service at Kctchlkau. This change has been approved. but it may Doe some umc before Che necessary cable for Che purpose becomes available. probably not before June or July when thc Burnside win SO north for Che purpose Of making the changes. "
 The foregoing paragraph is part Of letter received this morning by Sergeant L. J. DeLong. operator m charge Of Che Kctchikon cable office.
 from Col seouo. officer In charge Of Che system with headquarters in Seattle. says Che Ketchikan Chron- cle of recent datc. n Che same letter Che sergeant is informed chat inc stead Of using land cables such as now used in Che KotchIkau o0ice a regular ocean cable win bo used. This probably win mean that pro- vision win bc made to "cut in' Kot- cmkan at Petersburg thereby hay- ms Ke,chikan work directly with See atue.
 A few months ago when Col scone was u Kotchikan. thc matter of a direct cable from Seattle to KotchIkau was taken mp with him. Cable engineers held it would be 'mpracucablc to bring Che cable Iu south of uIs city because Of the shallow water and number Of dah- ing vessels chat are working in Che waters. It was thought more ad- y.sablo Co bring Che eabio in to Pct crburg and Che ouicer soid he would so recommend Thereby u- stcad of going from Kctchikan Go Petersburg thence to Sitka and thence to Seattle, messages win go direct thereby saving time and chance i0. crror
