One ol the interesting rumors in
regard to railroad construction in
Alaska is that two or more of the
Copper river valley projects are
about to combine with the ohjeet
of building a branch from the
main line in a northwesterly dir
ection to Fairbanks. This, of
course, would be a blow at the
Alaska Central, which is looking
towards Fairbanks as its northern
terminus.
