STEESE EXTENDS WELCOME
 TO BROOKLYN EAGLE PARTY

chief engineer of the Alaska Rail road and president of the Alaska Road Commission, recently sent the following letter to the Brooklyn Eagle" extending a welcome to the many outsiders who will visit Alaska this summer as members of the Brooklyn Fable party:
 Il am very glad to learn that The Brooklyn Eagle has selected Alaska and the dedication of Mt. Mckinley National park for its annual tour for 1923. By taking the Horseshoe Tour in over the government rail road and out over the military high way as you plan, you will give your party of representative eastern people an opportunity to penetrate right into the interior of Alaska without any real hardship or ser ious inconvenience.
 ''The railroad has been operating through service as far as the Tana- na river. 412 miles from the coast. since last summer. Your party will ! probably be the first 10 go right through to Fairbanks, 467 miles, without changing cars.
 ''The Richardson Highway has been passable for automobiles since 1913, but was neglected during the war. Since then We have expended about million dollars upon it's re- mobilization and improvement and have allotted about one third of a million dollars for this season.
 T am enclosing some maps es- pecially gotten up for the presi- dents proposed trip last year. IL is expected that the resident will make the trip this year.
 Leaving Fairbanks, the highway follows up the Tanana river, some times in the river valleys. at other times climbing the high bluffs and domes in that section of the country Directly opposite Is full view of the main Alaskan range (Rocky mountains a continuous line of of snow-capped eminences, known locally as the Cathedral mountains. After crossing the Tanana river al Mccarthy the road follows the val ley Of the Big Delta river to the summit of the Alaska range al Isabelle pass, at an elevation of about $500 feet, through a wildly beautiful country, fall of glaciers lakes and mountains covered with permanent snow and ice,
 Beyond the pass the road fol lows down the Gulkana river val ley to Willow creek. Through this section the main Alaska range, just crossed, is in full view as it swings around to the southeast. Included in the widening panorama are Mt. Wrangen, Blackburn, Sanford and other snow-capped peaks to the left front while straight ahead and to the right the Coast or Chugach range comes into view. Mt. Wran- gel is 9 smoking volcano.
 At Willow creek the Chitina cut of connects with the Copper River railroad at Chitina. This Ss mile stretch follows down the Copper riv- CT, repeatedly climbing and descend ing the high bluffs, giving a mag nificient view of the entire range in the distance across the deep rift. The last ten miles into Chirina are along a series of mirror lakes of sparkling beauty.
 "The weather in the summer time  is similar to the Maine or California coast, hot during the day and cool at night. Our maintenance gangs along the highway will be very much interested in the proress of your party across Alaska, and I can assure you of the hearty coop eration of our commission in every

How to Get Home from New York

Somerset County people are not
fully aware of the train service Offer
ed from New York City to points on
the Kineo Branch of the Maine Cen
trail. During the summer months 1t
will be often times convenient to come
to Norridgewock or any other point
on the Kineo branch and be met by
automobile, IL necessary.
The Bar Harbor Express leaves
New York at 6.15 daily except Sun
day, carrying one or more sleeping
cars for the Kineo branch. These
are detached at Oakland and arrive
at Norridgewock at 8.23 a. m, daily
except Mondays. This train is pri-
marily for Kineo and other summer
travel and of course continues to its
destination on the shores of Moose
head Lake.
Another convenient train out of
New York is the State of Maine EX-
press, which leaves the metropolis at
p. m, daily with sleeping car for
Portland. where this train arrives at
625 a. m. Here a change must be
made to a train leaving at 7.3j a. m.
anu arrive DIT ohOWHeBdn dl lI'oo.
One advantage of the Bar Harbor
Express, with its sleeping cars for
the Kineo line, is the hour of arrival
at Norridgewock. One may complete
his morning nap very nicely. On
the State of Maine Express the pas
senger must turn out of his berth
before half past five in preparation
for the arrival at Portland.
Then, too, for the Skowhegan bust
ness man, he will gain an hour or
two in coming via Norridgewock, as
in that event he can land in Show
hogan about 9.45 instead of 11.50, the
arrival of the connecting train via
Portland.

to cooperate with the Government in
adding new features each year
