ARRANGEMENTS WITH WHITE
PASS ROUTE RESPONSIBLE
FOR GAINS
Thru arrangements between the
American-Yukon Navigation company,
(White Pass route), and The Alaska
Railroad, indications are that for the
next season there will be more than
double the number of tourists reach
ing the railroad line at Nenana by this
route than in the previous season.
There is also an increased number of
tourists who are inclined to spend
several weeks in the territory rath
er than the usual one-week trip after
arriving at Seward or Cordova, says
the report of the Secretary of the In
terior, dealing with Alaska.
During the past season but one
large tourist party was handled over
the railroad by special train, that of
the Frank Reedy party of Dallas, Tex
as, numbering about 80 people. The
number of hunting parties coming to
Alaska, after the close of the regular
tourist season, is increasing, and the
number of tourists who are expected
at McKinley park next year is ex
pected to be double.
The McKinley Park Transportation
company has improved its camp faci
lities and has additional automobiles

employes for 1925 was 981, and 980 for
1926.
It is pointed out that the develop
ment in traffic is gratifying, not only
in showing a marked increase over
that of last year but more particularly
as it reflects a general development
of the Territory and indicates that en
couraging progress is being made in
producing and marketing the resour
ces of the Territory.
In point of improvement during the
past year 11 wooden bridges have
been replaced by iron and concrete
structures, many grades were raised
to obviate washouts, a spur track was
constructed at Moose Pass, made ne
cessary by increased mining activities
in the Moose Pass and Sunrise dis
tricts, a three-mile extension of the
Moose Creek coal spur was construct
ed to reach the Rawson and Alaska
Matanuska coal mines. It is expect
ed to standard-gauge the entire spur
to obtain more economical operation.
To meet increased demand for ac
commodations at Curry the bunkhouse
formerly in use at Nenana was moved
to Curry. A number of minor im
provements were made in the Curry
grounds and buildings. This year five
additional cottages were moved from
Chickaloon to Curry for the use of
employes of the railroad, making eight
in all thus moved.
The Curry hotel during the year
1926 was operated at a profit of $1,
988, as compared with a deficit of $4,
324 for the last fiscal year, or a gain
of $6,312. j y
Three thousand eight hundred and
twenty-five feet of siding was built at

tion company to serve *L_lr ware

the use of the Alaska Road Commis
sion.
