The Seattle P.-I. says: “Valdez
is much disturlied because of the
activity of the Alaska Central R. R.
Co.” intending to build from
Resurrection hay. Oh! no, Mr.
P.-I., we are not disturlied liecause
two railroads arc promised us, for
our country is big enough ami rich
enough to well support them. Let
them get down to actually “doing
things” and then the substantial
assistance nnd encouragement,
generously proffered by the citizens
of Alaska, will surprise them.
