WORK ON TRAMWAY
BEGUN THIS WEEK
Under the direction of “Curley’1 McIntosh, who at one time was
associated with Norman McCauley in the budding and operating of thf
lamous tramway around Miles Canyon and Whitehorse Rapids, work
on the Iditarod-Flat tramway began earl}' this week and will go through
with a rush until the roadway is ready for business. The tramway i
not a dream nor art allegation, it is a living, breathing industrial fact,
and it means more to the city of Iditarod than can well be computed.
Tlie first work has been the selection and blazing out of the route,
particularly the portion leading from this city to the summit. Mr. Me
Intosh, Norman Thompson and Dave Mutchler have been engaged on
this work lor several days, at the same time looking over the available
timber along the proposed line suitable for construction purposes. Hav
ing fixed the route, the work of getting out timber has already begun
and will continue until about the middle of May, by which time they
expect to have enough timber hauled to poirrts along the line to begin
the laying of the track.
•"The selection of poles for the rails, orr account of the uniformity
and strength required, will be clone carefully, and wi'l rake some time,
as several thousand of them will be used.
Everything has been arranged by Mutchler Brothers, who are con
structing the line, and there will be no delay itr completing the tram
way so as to be ready for the first shipment after the opening of navi
gation.j [As stated in the story in the Pioneer last week, the trucks and
cars have been ordered over Lebarge, and freight will be carried to the
summit of tire divide within a few days after the arrival of the first
boat. This covers half the distance to Flat, atrd it will be a eompara
lively easy matter to freight it the balance of the way to Flat city. This
method will be only temporary, however, as the line will be pushed
through to completion as fast as time and fin ds will permit.
Dick Hussey, a Flat City dealer in
amusements through the medium of
pool tables, came into town yesterday.
He is putting up a fine building at

WHERE ARE THEIR
GOODS AND CHATTELS ?
Many of the victims of tho fire have |
been spending fruitless days in search
I of missing portions of their personal
effects and stocks of goods which were
scattered so hurriedly and carried to so
I many havens of refuge during last
| Tuesday’s fire. Jn the flurry and excite
S ment, these belongings became sent
I tered to various nearby and even dts
| tant stores and residences without the
(direction of the owners, and some of
| them are still looking for their prop
; erty.
Particularly unfortunate, was lsadore
j Goldstein who lias been running around I
j in circles trying to trace stray garters
and petticoats. His stock, only half of
which was saved from the flames, was
; carried to a number of places, and they
{ probably had no use for lingerie.
Deplorable as is ihe fact, it appears
; that a considerai le portion of the stuff
( was stolen by that particular form of
worthless citizen who battens on the
; misfortunes of others.
Anyone having information of stray
| articles should report the same im
i mediately.
j Pete Petersen and Pete Jensen, two
j old-timers, were among last week’s ar
j rivals from Georgetown, where they
! report a decided lull in industrial pur
• suits.

THEY ARE GRATEFUL
TO WILLING WORKERS
This paper has been requested at
least a dozen times by the various losers
in the big tire of this week to put in a
card of thanks to the public for the
, aid rendered in saving stocks and fur
niture from the greed of the flumes.
The sentiment is all right, and it affords
much pleasure to be able to extend thi
grateful thanks of the sufferers to
those who labored so valiantly in their
be utlf. However, taking the cue from
t e foreman of our machine room, who
w is seen emerging from the Merchants
, cafe in the thick of the fight with a
i large section of open-face pie, wo can
: truthfully say that these willing work
ers feel more than amply repaid for
the little they were able to do in pre
venting a total loss of the contents of
the buildings.
However, the grateful appreciation
ot the unfortunate ones is most sin
certty extended.
