The Commonwealth, an illnstra-1
ted weekly published at Seattle,
devotes the front page of a recent
issue to a write-up of the “Spring !
Prospects in Our Northern Empire,”
in which it devotes considerable;
space to Valdez and the Cupper
River valley. Several extracts are |
made from the booklet published by
the Valdes Chandier of Commerce,!
and the article is embellished by a ■
lari:e half tone picture of the town.
The liouklets are doing their work 1
of attracting attention to this sec
tion of Alaska.

Favorable report has been made
at Washington on the hill appro
priating #250.000 to build a wagon
road from Valdez to Eagle City.
There is hardly a project now be
fore the public, unless it he that of
a railroad, that would accomplish
so much for the development of
central Alaska.—Mining Journal.
In our efforts to secure legisla
tion from the national government
for the conatructfon of a wagon
road to the interior of the country,
it is pleasing to note that all Alas
kans are with us. The true Alaskan
the one who is at home here, is
anxious for the advancement of the
country and is fully aware that the
development of any section tends !
toward the development of the
whole. The only knocks we hear
are from men living in Seattle and
other points who profess to know
all alnnit the country, Init who in
fact have never seen it.
Tom Towle, of the Kenai mining'
company, has built a large road
house on lake Kenai, 25 miles from
Seward. The place is easily ac
cessible from Resurrection hay, and
is one of the finest hunting grounds
in Alaska for large game. IIis‘
wife is with him and will look after
the home department. They under
stand how to make it pleasant and
comfortable for tourists going their ,
war.
Anton Ide, the until carrier he- i
ween Resurrection, Sunrise and,
Unite, is giving the best service'
this year they ever had. He is
promptly on time with each batch
of mail, and while his contract
calls for five round trips for each
winter, he has this season at his:
own expense, put in an extra trip.1
much to the satisfaction of the pop
ulation. Anton is nowon the final
trip of the season.
Shortest and Quickest Route.
The Valdez-C'opper river route to
or from the Tanana district is the
shortest and most practicable, in
the opinion of J. J. Kvans, the lat
est arrival, says the P.-I. Evans i
reached Seattle on the Dollar. Hej
runic direct from Fairbanks. Ev-I
ans stampeded to the Tanana dig- j
pings last March. He says he is I
aot sorry he went; that he consid
ers tire district one of the most
promising in Alaska, and believes
that it will in time produce as
much gold as Nome. Of hit trip
out he said:
“The Valdez-Coppgr river route
is undoubtedly the shortest and
quickest, in winter, to or from the
Tanana. It will become very pop
ular in time."
