The Chatanika branch line of the Alaska Railroad, which was built by private capital during the mining boom days of the Fairbanks district and which made the rapid develop ment of that camp possible, will cease operating on June l because of the diversion of freight and passen- genrs to highway motor vehicles. An announcement to that effect was made at Fairbanks few days ago by General Manager 0. F. Ohlson, with the explanation that the abandon ment of the line had been recom- mended by him to the Secretary of the Interior because of the large an- nual deficit resulting from the opera tions between Fairbanks and Chata- nika.
 1t was early seen by Colonel Ohl- son, after he had assumed his duties as general manager of the govern ment's transportation system, that continuance of the branch line opera tions were not warranted by the busi- ness received from the public, and it was his intention to close the line last winter. But when largely signed petition was sent him, protest ing against the abandonment of the service, he agreed to keep the line in operation, with the understanding that the railroad receive. a fair share of business in the summer as well as in the winter months.
