 IL is well known 10 the people Of Nenana that Mir. Aitken has made numerous trips from the Kus- kokwim district to the Kantishna, by way of the trail now used for transportating the mail betwen Kob and Big River. and he should know what he is talking about. He surely would not advocate the new trail if he did not think the people of his section of the Interior would benefit through the use of that route, instead of the Rainy Pass route. There is that argument and the additional argument that will prevent any return to the Rainy Pass trail at this time.
