MCCARTHY OR
 CHITINA?

Considerable agitation is still going on and finding it's way into the newspapers concerning the mail route into the Sush anna country. Coming as it does at a time when the appropriat ion for the Alaska Road Comm ission has been issued the reas on for such agitation is not hard to ferret out.
 The group responsible for the agitation are property own CTS on the NaDpzna and the Drop osed new route would open a road into their territory and place then on regular freight route. So far so good: and far be it from us to oppose any pro
  Spect of having tfiS property opened up. But is the method of getting at this that is to be looked into ana the result of such a scheme Let us thoroughly ex amlne the two routes.
 First and foremost comes the question of distance. The present. IOule travelled from Mccarthy IS approximately 100 miles; the proposed trail from Chitlna is in the neighborhOOd of 25O mile s-a a difference in fav Or Ui the former Df lyO miles.
The McCarthy weekly news., 1925-01-17
Quite a consideration.

NoXL comes the QueSGlOn Ol conditions of the trails and the relative facility which each may be travelled. On the last mail trip, Mir. Harry Boyden. Government mail carrier, made the trip from Mccarthy over the old route via the Nizina River and Scolia Pass and returned the other way via the Nabezna, Gulkana and Chit ma and has made his report on the two routes. In the main his report is as follows:
 Leaving out the question Of distance the route via Gulkana to Chitina is a more even route under certain conditions which exist at the present time but wh lch may never occur again, name ly, the scarcity of snow this seas on has kept the trail Tn a very paSSable condition and the cold weather has frozen the rivers so that they can easily be crossed. But if these rivers were not fro zen solid it would be well nigh impossible to cross. They are ab out three to one in number com pared with the other route and much more dangerous. Also hea w snoWfalls would mean break ing traii over an added distance of i5O mlleS. The Route via the Nizina Glacier IS only bad in one place and this can b. easily rem edied. This place is right on the glacier where 1t is necessary to go toward the summit of Goat Noun tain and traverSing an ext I'd distance of 10 to 12 miles which would not be necessary if tra,l were cut lower down for d distance of about thirty - five miles. This is all the work necessary over the entire route. The trail from Mccarthy to the Gacler is pasSable Summer and Winter and the trail from the Glacierto Sushanna is likewise easily travelled at any season and the other B miles could, at small cost, be put in a similar condition.
 Moreover the Mccarthy route will open up the White River District where large capit al is about to make venture
