A DREAM OF 30 YEARS AGO
About 30-years ago a promotion company dumped
off hundreds of tons of building materials at Iliamna.
Fine buildings rose and about 100-feet of railroad track
put down. Now, there is nothing.
It is said that the ultimate purpose of that project
was to construct a railroad from Iliamna Bay to Nome.
Certain Alaskan maps still show the route which would
have been followed.
The man responsible for its conception was called a
dreamer and a promoter, and we hazard the guess, the
chap had a difficult time of it. Nevertheless, he cebtainly
had vision for the route his railroad would have traversed
embraced some of the best mining districts in the Terr
itory, and upon mining the foundation of Alaska must
rest.
With the exception of a short tunnel at Iliama Bay,
aiL easy grade is found at all points through mountain
passes. The construction of such a road can easily be lik- 1
ened to the area through which the present government
load follows. Nome,' and all that vast and rich district
between the Aleutians and Nome, would have been
as accessible the entire year-round as are those Interior
regions along the Alaska Railroad belt.
c .. knows, but what in the near future, an Alaskan .
v^cii Rhodes will appear and make this so-called dream
of 30-years ago a reality.
W ould that Alaska "had more promoters and dreamers
A hypocrite is one who pretends to believe a person
whom he knows is lying.

IN TRAINING CAMP
FOR HEENET MITCH
SPECULATOR, N. Y., June 20, (£>)-—
Fight fans who have been interested
in how Gene Tunney looks in his
training for the championship match
with Tom Heeney got a peek of the
title holder and saw him miss a num.
bar of punches.
Tunney's general physical condition
appeared very good, but in the three
rounds he mixed punches with Billy
Vidaheck, his timing was off and his
footwork slow. It appeared, however,
that Tunney was punching harder than
he ever has.
