Valdez Cut Off From Outside Com
'
munication for Short Time—Ca
nadian Line Also Down. i
I
The Valdez-Sitka cable went down
this morning and it is feared that the
line will be out or commission for
several days as the cableship Burn
side is at Seattle and it will require
a couple of days to cut the nec
essary red tape and start her on the
northward trip, and four days more
to reach the former capital of the
territory, near which the break is lo
cated.
Lieut. Dougherty, in charge of this
division of the cable and telegraph
lines, immediately sent a service dis
patch to Sitka via .the Canadian line,
but there is no telling when the mes
sage will reach Sitka, as the Cana
dian line is, as usual, down most of
the time.
Tests made by the local office show
the break to be at or very close to
Sitka. At first Lieut. Dougherty and
this electricians feared that some
thing had gone wrong at the Sitka
office, possibly the building being
burned, but later tests indicated the
break a little short of the office.
The cableship Burnside is stationed
at Seattle and is available for the
repair work as soon as the regular
amount of government red tape is cut.
Lieut. Dougherty and Captain Lenoire
are, however, "red tape cutters” and
can use the cissors better than any j
Alaskan editor, so it. is safe to pre
dict that the break will be repaired
in as short a time as possible. As far j
as is known the cableship is not un
dergoing repairs, as is usual when- !
ever a break in the cable occurs.
Cable service via the Canadian line,
which is the only alternative, is ex
ceptionally expensive and wretched
ly poor. Messages sent from Seat
tle are several days overcoming the
delays inc'dent to the usual amount,
of breaks along the Britishers’ line
of communication.
An effort will be made to use wire- I
less from Sitka to Whitshed during
the night time and possibly may be
successful, as both stations are equip
ped with high power sending appar
atus.
