RIGGS ON JOB
IN INTERIOR
Commissioner Looks Over Newly
Purchased Tunana Valley
Railroad Line.
FAIRBANKS.—(By mail.)—Thom
as Riggs of the A. E. C. is here from
Nenana looking over the Tanana Val
ley railroad, recently purchased by the
government. He says that the pur
chase of the railroad was the first
step in the matter of Secretary Lane’s
policy of developing the resources of
inter:or Alaska. He further stated
that the railroad will remain as it is,
at least for the present, although it is
probable that a few repairs will be
necessary.
In speaking of the Tanana Valley
Mr. Riggs referred to the standardi
zation of the road. He said that he
had been questioned a number of times
regarding whether or not it will be
standardized, and in answer to those
queries he now says that it will not;
that it will be allowed to remain n;ir
row guage as at present. When stand
ard gauge track is put in between
Fairbanks and Happy station a third
rail will be laid for the use of the
narrow gauge rolling stock, and it will
also be used on this end of the line,
according to the railroad builder’s
plans.
Questioned regarding his probable
appointment to the governorship of
Alaska, Mr. Riggs had little to say,
although he made a few non-committal
remarks. He did say, when further
questioned, however, that if he leaves
the interior to accept the governorsliip
of Alaska, there will be no change
here in regard to railroad work other
than in the commissionership. It will
be prosecuted as rapidly as he is now'
pushing it, or even at greater speod,
he says.

river was never as high as this year.
