RAILROAD NEWS
Wires to Prospector Regarding Cham
berlain Bill—Use the Tele
phone Line.
The Prospector received a message j
this morning from Fish and Clonin- j
ger, of Chitina, asking for information j
regarding the Chamberlain railroad j
bill, which they had hoped would be |
passed yesterday by the House. The j
message came via the private tele- <
phone line operated from Chitina to ,
upper Tonsina and then via the gov - |
eminent telegraph line to Valdez.
Oscar Fish is connected with the j
Chitina Cash Store and Cloninger is j
the proprietor of the largest hotel in
the interior city, and they are anxious ;
to know the result of the debate. ,
The Prospector, unfortunately, was j
unable to satisfy the doubts of the !
men as to the outcome of the bill, but
did wire them of the progress in the
lower House and the probability that
the measure would pass next Wed
nesday, when it again comes up 'or
debate.
