FROM FAIRBANKS OVER CORDOVA TRAIL TO STATES
Those coming out from Fairbanks, via the government railroad
through Nenana to the end of steel 6n the Northern Division, via Broad
Pass and then on the train to Seward, thence to Seattle can do so cheap
er than going from Fairbanks via stage to C'hitna, then railroad to Cor
dova and h.v steamer to Seattle. Willis Nicely, who arrived on the train
yesterday from Nenana came through to Seward and will land in Seat
tle after paying only $124.70. If Mr. Nicely went out the Fairbanks trail
to Cordova, then by steamer to Sea*.tie it would have cost him $221.90.
u Air. Nicely spent only $33.10 from \enana to Seward. From Fairbanks
to Cordova it would have cost $153.(10 plus his meals and roadhouse ex
penses. Mr. Nicely predicts that the travel from the interior will come
Seward this winter. People of the interior, he said, were lead to be
lieve that they could catch steamers more often from Cordova than
Seward, which is not true as all steamers come to Seward before re
turning southbound.
