Fourth of July Dinner On the Mari
posa Was Some Dinner—Pas
sengers Enjoyed It
Teddy Taylor, the steward of the
steamer Mariposa, served the pas
sengers of the boat a Fourth of July |
dinner that they will long remember.
The steamer was in Lynn Canal on
the Fourth and in quiet water, so all
were able to take nourishment. Ted-'
dy’s program was rather long and the
passengers were at the table for two
hours. Since that dinner several of
the millionaires on the boat have
been trying to kidnap the steward
for service on their yachts in the
East.
The menu was as follows:
Anchovy baskets Eastern Oysters
Celery en Branche
Pickled English Walnuts
Ripe Olives Salted Nuts
India Relish Chili Sauce
Cream of Chicken a l’Americaine
Consomme Prlntaniere
Baked Whiteflsh au Gratin Pommes

TOO EARLY TOO
AUTO SERVICE
Lieut. Edgerton of Road Commission
Advises Against Its Establish
ment at This Time.
Lieut. Glen Edgerton of the Alas
ka road commission has written to
the Stanley Automobile Co., of Se
attle, advising against the establish
ment at this time of an automobile
service from Valdez to Fairbanks be
cauuse of the condition of the road,
which, while in shape for automobile
traffic, is not yet completed and the
engineer officer feels that with the
limited aprpopriations at the com
mand of the commission such a ser
vice might not be a success because
of the inability of the road commis
sion to make quick repairs in case:
of washouts or the loss of a bridge.;
The letter is given below in full:
Stanley Automobile Co., Seattle,
wasntngton.
Gentlemen: The chairtnan of the
Valdez Chamber of Commerce, Mr.
White, has just shown us a telegram
in which you request information as
to the practicability of establishing
an auto stage line between Valdez
and Fairbanks.
For your information I wish to ad
vise you uof the following facts:
The road from Valdez to Fairbanks
is 379.5 miles in length. It crosses
two mountain ranges and numerous
rivers, large and small. In character
it is a fair earth road, but the ditch
ing and drainage is not entirely com
pleted. The rivers are all bridged,
with the exception of the Tanana, on
which a ferry is maintained.
Our funds are so limited that in
the event of unusual accidents, such
as earth slides and washouts involv
ing serious damage to the road we
might be unable to make repairs
promptly and your operations might
be suspended indefinitely.
Three cars made the trip between
Valdez and Fairbanks last year, two
were Fords and the third a 3-4 ton
White gasoline truck in our service.
All three cars had some difficulties
and our car was pulled out of several
mud holes.
It is believed that one of your cars
could make the trip at any time be
tween July 1 and October 1, but it
would probably not be able to make
over 80 miles per day and in the
case of very unfavorable weather it
is probable that considerable diffi
culty would be encountered.
We would not consider this an au
tomobile road and would under no
circumstances take the responsibility
of advising you to establish an auto
line at this time. We are, however,
endeavoring to secure sufficient funds
to permit us to improve the road to
standards suitable for light auto traf
fic and hope to accomplish this even
tually.
We have no objection- to your giv
ing any publicity to this letter that
you think desirable.
GLEN E. EDGERTON,
First Lieut., Corps of Engineers, En
gineer Officer.
