After an unaccountable delay the
trust today makes its appearance with
its first fe bio display of its familiar
tactics. Anything to tie up ?ho country
and obstruct progress seems to be
its highest and holiest aim This
time it is too late. The Alaska It one
Railway is going to be constructed
Any attempt to interfere with its^ pro
gress or inerea-e the expense to the
'•itizens of Valdez who are building
this absolute necessity, a road to tho
interior must lesult in failure The
outfit which will do nothing itse.f and
fries to | revent anyone else from do
ing anything, has no place in Alaska
If the trust attempts to obstruct the
patriotic and honest efforts of the
people of Valdez, it will encounter and
engender that enmity, which will work
its overturn in this community.
NOTICE.
To the tneu working for the Alaska
Home Railway. You are working tor
the people of Alaska who will protect
you Pay no attention to the trust or
any < f itj schemes to block progress.
