The Alaska Communication Sys- | tem was created by an Act of Con- | gress May 26, 1900, at which time it was given the mission of provi- ding communication to the mili- tary garrisons in the Territory with specific instructions that the Sig-) nal Corps would also provide s vice to the civilian population. The original name-—as many oldtimers will recall—was the Washington- Alaska Military Cable and Tele- graph System or “WAMCATS.” The original installations con- sisted of a telegraph line from the Yukon Border near Eagle, over to St. Michael, following the route of the Yukon River part of the may. Another telegraph line followed the old Richardson Trail from Fair. banks to Valdez where was located the northern terminus of the or- iginal submarine cable. The submarine cable was from Seattle to Sitka, to Valdez, with a connecting link to Juneau. As the years progressed and radio be-| came more feasible, the radio sta- tions supplanted the old telegraph and cable stations, resulting in in- creased eificiency and amount of traffic handled. During the war, the ACS network was extended to the end of the Al- eutian chain; its westernmost sta- tion being Attu. The ACS Headquarters, with Col- onel Fred P. Andrews as its Com- manding,_ Officer, is located in Se- attle. ATTENTION MASONS Stated Communication of Mt. Ju- neau Lodge No. 147 Monday even- ing at 7:30. Labor in F. C. Degree. Visitors welcome.
