MOVING FREIGHT
VALDEZ ROUTE
Wilsoji Gets 48-Ton Government
Contract— Fr°ighters Prefer
Valdez Route.
Jim Wilson, the freighl or,.start
ed today the work of delivering
the 48 tons of government sup
plies, for which he secured the
contract a few months ago, (fom
the quartermaster at For Liseum.
The supplier are to be delivered
at the signal stations between
Valdez and Paxsons.
Joe Stanton and Alex. I,crow
left this morning, each with a
four-horse rig with three tons to
the team. At the summit twenty
horses will be use.d to take the
supplies across the divide.
This is the first large freight
outfit to start over the road this
Winner,but all the freighters an
ticipate heavy shipments via
Valdez because of the Nelchina,
Chisana and Slate creek mines.
The cost of taking freighl from
Valdez into the interior is much
less than via Cordova and Chit
ilia, as tliei cost of I ransportation
for horses, feed and freight and
living expenses from the coast lo
the interior, when the outfits are
shipped via the railroad, makes
the Valdez route preferable. The
uncertainty of delivery of freight
at Chitina, which has been exper
ienced every year by the interior
freighters because of tieups on
the railroad, lias forced all of
them to the conclusion that the
Valdez government road is the
best mule and the cheapest and
inns! certain lo take.
