EXPRESS ROl'TE OVER THE
INTERIOR TRAIL STOPPED
The winter express service of
Weils Fargo & Go,, between Fair,
banks and the Outside. which has
been of material benefit to the
Interior country in years pone by
since the very early days, has been
discontinued, according to informa
tion received at the local office of
the company, says the Nenana Neva.
The information is not accompa
nied by an explanation, the message
merely stating that the service 's
off for the remainder of the winter.
But in view of the fact that the
company has had a erreat deal of
difficulty handling: its business over
the Fairbanks-Chitna trail during
the past counlc of winters, the as
sumption is that the service has
been abandoned for that reason. And
if that is the case, the sendee very
likely will not be resumed unless
more satisfactory arrangements can
be made for handling: the business
between Fairbanks and Chitna
until the business can be routed by
way of the Broad Pass route.
The company miirht have been in
duced to divert its business to th>
Broad Pass trad this winter hut for
the fact that there was no certainty
that the Government railroad between
Seward nod Anchorage couM be kert
open. With this uncertainty now re
moved and the assurance that the
ends of steel will be brought much
closer together before the end of
another working: season. there is
reason to believe that satisfactory
arraotrements can be made for car
rying: express across Broad Pass
durincr the comintr winter and there,
after until such time as the business
can be taken care of altogether by
the Government railroad. It has been
demonstrated that such more satis
factory results mieht have been ob
tained this winter bv the company
had the NVnann-B’-oad Pass route
been used instead of the much lonrr°r
Richardson trail, with its unreliable
mail service.
There is a movement already on
foot »n Nenara to tak*» the matter
up with the company with a view to
the establishment of an express
route via Broad Pacs during the
coming winter, and the matter doubt
less will receive the attention of the
Commercial club at an early dat°.
Those who have interested them
selves in the matter artrue that it is
not a case of tn^cr to e^t the busi
ness away from Fairbanks, but ;s
merely to revive the sendee whicn
has been d’scont:nued, presumably
because of the inability of the Fair

MONEY STOLEN FROM A
TRAIL EXPRESS IS FOUND
(Cordova Times)
Two express packages, containing
$2',000 each, stolen from the Brower
stage line last October, while en
route from Chitna to Fairbanks, have
just been recovered, but no informa
tion as to who committed the theft.
While the express was being trans
ported over the trail from Cldtna
to Sourdough the robbery occurred.
Drivers of the stages change at Cop
per Center and the one on the run
from there to Sourdough signed for
the receipt of all packages, but two
were later found missing.
Some time ago Harry C’ovebwd,
purchased a number of sleighs from
the Xo’thern Commercial Company,
which fo’-merly conducted the stage
hne. These wore stored near Copper
Center and it was not until the oth *r
day that Mr. Cleveland had occasion
to examine the sleighs. When ho dirt
so, he found the stolon property care
fully hid away in a leather pocket of
one of the vehicles. The packages
had evidently been cached there by
the thief and for some unknown rea
son had not been lifted. Cleveland
immediately noticed Brower of his
find and also delivered the packages
to the company. He was given $200
as a reward for the discovery of the
siolep property.
