COLUMBIA JETTY
CARS FOR U. S. R. R.
ON TANANA END
PORTLAND, July 20.—Four flat
cars and the steel rails used at Fort
Canby while the north jetty at the
mouth of the Columbia river was un
der construction are to be sent to Al
aska and used for .bettering the sys
tem of the Tanana Valley railroad, a
narrow guage line running from Fair
banks to Chatanika, a distance of 40
miles.
H. P. Warren, of the Alaskan en
gineering commission, has made ar
rangements for sending the north jetty
railroad equipment to the Far North.
The material was sent from the river
to Seattle on a barge. From the Sound
the material will go out on one of the
regular Alaska steamers sailing about
August 1.
Warren says that the north jetty
rail equipment will be used either to
make an extension to the Tanana Val
ley railroad or to provide it with ad
ditional spurs. The government is said
to have procured the property at this
time to ward off a threatened fuel
famine at Fairbanks next fall and
winter. It is announced that it will be
operated on the start principally for
hauling wood to Fairbanks.
