STORY or RAILROAD
BY CORDOVA ALASKAN
(continued from page 1).
by early tomorrow morning a big
shipment of mail will be landed at
Chitina.
On the return trip of the rotary
an extra supply of fuel will be
taken on at Tiekel for the engines
that are on the siding at mile #3,
■ so that'they can proceed with
their train 10 Chitina.
The small rotary left Miles
Glacier at noon and will reach
|Cordova late tonight. She is re
turning for fuel and also to keep
(111 track open between here and
Miles Glacier and will start back
over the line fully equipped to
buck the drifts in the canyon.
There is every indication now
that the three rotaries will De able
Ito cope with the existing condi
tions and that ere long trains will
be running regularly over the
Copper River & Northwestern
line, much to the gratification of
the people of Cordova and the
public generally.
Cordova, Jan. 11.—One of the
large rotaries wended its way in
to the Chitina station at 3:30
o’clock this morning, thus break
ing the blockade on the railroad.
Just three weeks ag.o today this
train started from Cordova, and
during that time conditions have
been such that it was impossible
to make much headway against
I he slides and drifted snow, to
gether with the mishaps that oc
curred. But the fact that Ihc
train has finally gotten through
is cause for much rejoicing, and
it is hoped that by the latter part
of next week the old schedule of
three trains a week will be main
tained.
The train arriving al Chitina
had thirty-two hundred pounds of
mail aboard and il was no soon
er deposited at the postofi’iec than
I he Orr Stage company had sev
eral special learns in readiness to
speed il on ils way and by 0
o'clock this morning the mail was
being carried towards Fairbanks.
There is still 3,-'00 pounds on the
way to Chitina and the small ro
tary, which returned from Miles
Glacier at i o’clock fills morning,
leaves at midnight with 1,600
pounds more. She will go out pre
pared to buck the drill's in the
canyon, and early tomorrow
morning the rotary al Chitina will
start for Cordova. At Tiekel a
supply of coal and fuel will he
taken on for the rotary left on
I lie siding al Clove oreol^ which,
when under steam, will continue
on ils journey to Chitina, to keep
the track clear at that end of the
line. The other two rotaries will
work between here and Tiekel and
the road should be open for
through traffic within five or six
days.
Cordova. Jan. I J_Yesterday
j morning the rotary that reached
iChitina on Saturday started for
'Cordova and experienced little
11 rouble in getting to Tiekel, where
| she took on fuel for the rotary
land two engines, which were left
“dead” on the main track at mile
!t>;t. After clearing the main line
jby switching this train to a sid
ling. the rotary proceeded to mile
87. where a slop was made to take
on water. She is again headed
this way. harking some heavy
drifts.
The small rotary got as far as
mile 51, hut as there is an 80
mile gale blowing she did not nl
lempt lo proceed further, hut ex
pects to tackle Ihe slides in the
canyon tomorrow. The train at
mile. 05 will he held there until the
small rotary arrives, in order I hat
the machinists aboard may make
some ..ssary repairs lo I he en
gines.
The accumulated mail from
Fairbanks and other interior
points left Chitina yesterday and
should reach here either Thurs
day or Friday, and will In* dis
patched lo Seattle on I he Maripo
sa. In case.there is any delay
I lie steamer will wait here in or
der dial a prompt dispatch of alt
mail on route may he made to the
si ates.
