Cordova Chamber of Commerce wants
Fort Llscum Troops 8tatloned
on Nizlna Clacier.
The following account of the ef
forts of the Cordova Chamber of
Commerce to have the troops of the
Thirtieth infantry stationed along the
Nizina glacier to aid the travelers ov
er that route in the interior was
printed in the Cordova Alaskan yes
terday. If a large stampede of in
experienced trftishers start for the
White river via the Cordova route, it
is expected that the plan will be car
ried out. The article is as follows:
The trail over the glacier from the
end of the track to Chlsana via the
Hazelet route will be kept marked
and made as safe as possible during
the Winter even if it is necessary that
the entire command of the Thirtieth
U. S. infantry stationed AtFort Llscum
have to be requisitioned for that'pur
pose. This information was convey
ed to the Cordova' Chamber of Com
merce in a message received from the
War department on Wednesday after
noon.
Shortly after the completion of the
trail to the diggings complaints be-,
gan coming in to the chamber that
some person or persons were malic
iously destroying the stakes which
marked the trail. The relief cabins
of the government had also been
broken into and the emergency sup- j
plies consumed or wasted. The chant- i
ber took the matter up with Col. :
Richardson, president of the Alaska
Roadt Commission,, and asked him
the proper mode to follow to prevent
a repetition of the offense. Col. Rich
ardson understands the situation. He
knows that the trail was made as safe
as possible at considerable expense to
the people of Cordova, and that safety
»f the lives of hundreds' of people
would be endangered during the next
tew months if stepr vere not taken 1
Immediately. The colonel Is rtow in j
Washington, as will be seen ’by the !
following message, which is self-ex- !
planatory:
Washington, D. -C., 'Dec. 24. 1913.
H. A. Slater, Pres. Cordova Chamber
Commerce:
In reference to your telegram re
garding trail the Secretary of War;
flirects that you be advised to take I
the matter up with *he civil authori- j
ties and that the commanding officer
At Fort Liscum has been authorized ;
upon request of the United States
marshal of that district to provide a|
detail for the purpose if he shall find
it necessary.
W. P RICHARDSON. i
Pres. Alaska Road Commission.
As advised by the department, the
chamber has taken the matter up
with the civil authorities and has
communicated with Marshal Brenne-;
man, and speedy aeUon may be ex-1
pected.
The Canadian routes to the dig
gings are patrolled by mounted police
who serve as guardians for the pub-;
lie safety from ma'ielously inclined,
persons. The soldiers stationed at i
Fort Discura are equally competent
to aict tn that 'capacity and would wel
come the temporary respite from haT
ra'cks and routine duty. The com
panies stationed there at present are
a splendid body of men. Should Mar
shal Brenneman -^ecide that It is
necessary to requisition their ser
vices they may be depended upon
to give a good account of themselves
and travelers to the diggings will be
assured that the trail will be well
marked and that caches along the
rmite will be safe.
