TAFT’S MESSAGE RE
ALA8K RAILWAYS
(continued from page 1).
cans'* it would not serve any of
the coal fields, although, as here
jafter noted, Valdez is regarded by
illie commission as an important
ialternative terminal in the possi
jble future development ot the
1 <:hilina-Fairbanks routes.
Cordova Route's Advantages.
"The investigations of the com
mission indicate that the route
from Cordova by way of Chitina
lo Fairbanks would furnish the
In-si trunk line to the Yukon and
Tanana waters: ()■ Because
!Cordova has distinct advantages
jas a harbor. (2) Because this
route requires the shortest actual
construction, hut chiefly (3) be
cause the better grades possible
on this route should give the low
est freight rales into the'Tanana
valley. The Copper River & Nor
thwestern railroad is now con
structed from Cordova to Chitina
and thence up the Chitina river.
The commission recommends the
ibuilding of a railway from Chitina
to Fairbanks, 312 miles, estimat
ed to cost $ 13,971,000, with the
provision that if (his railway is
built by other interests than those
controlling the Copper River &
Northwestern railroad, and it any
tpiilal.de (rall'ic arrangement can
not lie made wifli il. connection
.should be made with Valdez by
11j<- Thompson Pass route, 101
miles, estimated lo cosl $0,101.

Terminal for Bering coal.
“Tin1 commission finds Unit
Cordova oilers tile best present
ocean ..terminal for it lie Mering
river coal. The commission also
points out Ibal il would not be
economical to lutul the Malanus
ka coal to either Valdez or Cor
dova. and therefore I lie logical
outlet for that Held is Seward.
If commercial development of
these two fields should disclose
I lull I he ipmlily of I lie coal is I lie
same in both, the Mering river
Held would have tile advantage of
greater proximity to tidewater. A
branch line from the Copper div
er railway to the Mering river
field, a distance of 08 miles, at
an esl imal ed cost of S2.0H 4.000. is
recommended to afford an outlet
for the coal on Prince William
sound and into the Copper river
valley and I he region where I here
is at presi ul the largest market
for Alaska coal.
Line From Seward Needed.
"The commission linds that a
railway from Chilian to Fair
banks will not solve the transpor
tation problem of Alaska, because
il will not give access to the Mal
anitska coat Held, the lertile lands
and tin' mineral wealth of the
lower Susilna "r I he great Kusko
kvvini basin. Tliis province prop
erly belongs to an independent
railway system based on the har
bor at Seward.
"The commission recommends
a rnilwav from Kern creek. 111"
present inland terminal of the
Alaska Northern railway, to the
Susilna river (distance 115 miles,
estimated cost $5,200,000 . with
a branch line to the Matanuska
coal field (distance H8 miles, es
timated cost $1,015.000 , and an
extension of tile main line
through tile Alaska range lo I he
