Chamber of Commerce Notes

At a recent business meeting of the Seward Chamber of Commerce the organizations attention was directed to the semi official reports to the effect that the Alaska Rail- road has become dissatisfied with the ties that are being cut by local tie contractors and would turn elsewhere for ties for the future needs of the road The loss of the industry to this vicinity would be a financial blow to Seward business houses, the Chamber felt, but de- ciced to postpone making inquiries when Ranger Sherman, present as a guest, stated that the controversy arose over tie dimentions and said he believed the tie cutters them selves could remedy the situation by adhering strictly to the required specifications.
 In rendering a brief survey of the general field program for this season, Ranger Sherman said that work will almost immediately be commenced on the Russian River trail improvement at Schooner Bend, which was petitioned for the Chamber and residents of that dis trict last fall. Regarding the Lost Lake trail to Upper Russian Lake, wa Cooper Lake, also asked for by the Chamber, MT. Sherman had to say that while the undertaking has not been schuled, it's feasibility may be determined this year, and. meanwhile, access to upper Russian Lake will be gained via Porcupine Island, Kenai Lake, by means of a new trail which is to be put in this season between Cooper Lake and upper Russian Lake. An already existant trail to Cooper Lake from 9 point on the mainland of Kenai Lake, opposite Porcupine Island, will be brushed out and general maintenance work performed on it. This will enable persons to trave rom Seward to Upper Russian Lake via Kenai Lake. It is the in- tention of the Forestry Depart ment to continue the trail then to lower Russian Lake, though MT. sherman did not say whether he anticipated being able to com mence work on that part of it this season Another trail to be put in
 1nls season. Sherman told Cham
 per members, will be from Windy Polnt on Kenai Lake to Lost Lake aoout seven miles in the direction of Moose Pass, from Windy Point The busy rangers also have consid- erable trail work to do in the Gird- wood district.
