NEW YORK. June 28. (/P)—Little
prospect offers for the takeoff tonight

Meteologist James Kimball who re
ported: “There is low pressures ex

points very decisively, and through
the whole of the years of 1905 and
1906 1 exerted every influnee l could
command with President Frost and
j the board of directors to adopt the
Moose Pass or the Johnson Pass
route, crossing Turnagain Arm at
Sunrise. 1 still have all of the cor-:
jrespondence on the subject. Presi- j
dent Frost naturaly accepted the ad- j
vice of his own engineer, and adopt- |
ed the present route.
“Later, in 190S, after the failure j
of the Sovereign Bank of Canada,
which was backing Frost & Osborne, ^
and the consequent failure of Frost j
and Osborne and the Alaska Central. ;
Mr. Frost came out to go over the
railroad, which he did from one end
to the other. He then expressed the
opinion publicly and most emphat
ically that the railroad should have
adopted the Moose Pass route, as I
had urged. But it was then too late.
Mr. Poland also came to the same
conclusion.
“When the government took over
the Alaska Central, or Alaska North
ern, as it was then called, in 1915.
j the present route was occupied and
built over to Mile 72 on Turnagain
Arm, and a good deal of advance
work was done beyond, and I there
fore did not renew my recommenda
tions in favor of the Moose Pass
route. President Wilson in designa
ting the oficial route for the govern
ment railroad simply followed the
route and survey of the original Al
aska Central from the dock in Sew
ard to the Tanana River, both the
completed and the surveyed portions.
“But now, in the light of the ex
perience of the last 12 years, I con
sider that it is the duty of every
body concerned in the future welfare
of the. Alaska Railroad and in the
"best interests of the country it
serves to urge the building of this
important cut-off, which would com
p'etely eliminate the most trouble
some and expensive stretch of track
to maintain in all the distance be- j
tween Seward and. Fairbanks, be
sides shortening the railroad bv 19
miles and traversing a new country
lrrge tonnage possibilities.”
