THE spirit of service which exists in the
* operation of The Alaska Railroad, has
made our patrons our friends, and the safe
guarding and transportation of their ship
ments to stations on our line, to their entire
satisfaction is our ambition.
During the month of May the season of
river navigation will augment our rail serv
ice, and freight and passenger travel will
receive the benefit of our experience.
Trains will connect with all sailings on
the Tanana and Yukon Rivers.
Timetables, descriptive-9 literature, etc.,
will be gladly furnished on request.

ABOUT ALASKA R. e.
ELECTRICAL INSPECTOR FOR THE
C. M. & ST. P. RY. SUBMITS
PERSONAL OPINION
a
i G. T. Spaulding, electrical inspector
! j for the Chicago, Milwaukee and St.
J Paul railroad, with headquarters at
J Deer Lodge, Mont., has been a visitor
J in Seward since Saturday but only
J eystCrday did The Gateway discover
i 'who the modest and unassuming chap
i was. Upon discovering he was a rail
I road man, The Gateway took occa
[ sion to ask him his views on Alaska
| and the Alaska Railroad and in reply ;
J Mr. Spaulding wrote the following:
i “Replying to your inquiry as to a
i railroad man’s opinion of Alaska, we
wish to say that it is certainly a won
! derland and a paradise for the fisher
[ man and hunter; its rugged mountains,
i streams and numerous glaciers make
I it an ideal place to spend a summer
i'
i vacation.
We are especially impressed with
the Alaska Railroad adtl the efficient
service it renders the public; a rail
road operated through a rugged moun
tainous country menaced by high
water periods, landslides, living gla- i
ciers, etc., maintaining its schedules
and running specials to connect with j
i boats reflects much credit upon the i
, management. After spending a few ;
hours in the shops at Anchorage we |
were especially impressed with the fa-1
cilities for doing a little of everything
< in the mechanical line which is ne
I cessary due to the isolated territory !
in which the railroad operates.
“Mr. H. B. Earling, our western
! representative of the Chicago, Mil
! waukee and St. Paul railroad, who
sailed on the Yukon August 1, passed J
favorable comment on the Alaska Rail
road whilf here. He expressed ,satis
faction of the service rendered the !
public and the great asset that the
railroad is at this time and will be in
! the future in developing the resources
of Alaska.
“Being associated with an electrified
i railroad in the States, Mr. Earling was
impressed with the great possibilities'
of hydroelectric generation of power
! in Alaska and predicts great strides
jin this direction in the future.
; “We regret not finding our C. M. &
J St. P. Rv. advertised in your valuable :
j publication as we give service second
j to none from Puget Sound cities to all j
; points east, and when we return we
will- do our best to have our line reg
j ularly mentioned in the columns of
The Gateway.
