In all this discussion of rail
roads for Alaska, nothing has
been <aid or writen of the pos
sibility of developing electric
power in the territory for the
operation of its future railroad
system. No country in the
world presents such a fair field
for developing unlimited water
power for the generation of el
ectricity. Along thousands of
miles of coast line water suf
ficient to run the wheels of any
number of great power houses,
industrial plants and railroads
is daily going to waste. The
Copper river alone could pro
duce energy to operate the en
tire railroad system from the
southern coast to the Yukor
valley. The same is true oi
other sections too numerous to
mention. A great power plant
is being planned for the gener
ation of the Alaska Gastinean
plant and another for the Alas
ka Juneau mill, while, scatter
ed about the territory are var
ious small plants for light, heal
and power, hut the develop
ment of electricity on a largr
scale has never been attempt
