OPPOSITION TO (THE
> QUOQENHEIIM ROAD
( Continued from page 1 ;
imSnt of short railroads already
J*uilt by private capital. The Gug
genheims now own and operate :
the Copper River & Northwestern I
railroad, running inland from 1
Cordova. The Alaska Northern,
heading at Seward, forms a pari
of the second proposed Inink line.
Oppose Purchase of Road.
Certain interests, however, arc
now a( work bitterly opposing (ho
purchase by the government of
of the Guggenheim road, and its
extension, saying, lirsl, that it
would be' unwise for the govern
ment to lake over the Guggen
heim road, and, secondly, that the
Cordova route would lie imprac
ticable, in that it would, for I lie*
most pari, penetrate a seel ion of
Alaska not particularly in need of
transportation facilities. It is
represented that the Guggen
heims would be only too glad to
sell their railroad to the govern
ment, because it is extremely ex
pensive of operation and main
tenance, and frequently out of
commission, by reason of snow
slides, Hoods, etc. If it could be
turned over to the government,
the cost of maintaining the road
would he shifted to the govern
ment, and the Guggenheims would
still have the use of tin* line for
getting their ore from the copper
[mines to (heir smelters. Count
ing upon the unpopularity of the
Guggenheims, these interests are
hopeful of defeating the propos
al to build a trunk line inland
from Cordova.
Favor Taking Alaska Northern.
There is, however, strong sen
timent in favor of the govern
ment purchase of the Alaska Nor
thern railroad from Seward, and
the statement is made that this
property can In* taken over by the
government at its own figure, the
owners believing they will gel a
fair price in case the government
decides to buy. Those favoring
the Seward railroad maintain that
this trunk line, penetrating to the
iYukon, Tanana, and Kuskokwim
'valleys, would open up the great
j agricultural region of Alaska, and
with a 38-mile feeder, would tap
the Matanuska coal field, rich in
high-grade coals, while the more
extensive Nenana fields in the
Tanana valley, covering 1(55
square miles of area, would be
traversed by the extension of the
main trunk road.
From present indications,
strong efforts will be made to
block the construction of a trunk
line railroad from Cordova to the
i upper Yukon, and those lighting
this proposition will concentrate
their efforts on the road from
j Seward. Not only will they urge
the construction of a road from
j Seward as extensive as that pro
posed by the railroad commission,
hut extensions of this road to the
more important mining districts,
and ultimately an extension to
the international boundary, to
connect with I lie (irand Trunk
Pacific, with a view of giv ing that
transcontinental line an outlet at
Seward, and incidentally provid
ing Canadian markets for the
Matanuska and Nenana coils.
Feeders May be Built.
The bills which will be intro
duced, or some of them, will au
thorize private interests to build
feeders to the government trunk
lines, bringing mining districts or
other freight-producing areas in
to connection with the great
transportation system, but with j
a proviso that any feeder con-!
necling with tin* government road |
shall grant equal rates to all per- j
sons desiring to ship over suchj
feeders. *

is proposed'to build a 25-mile

coal an outlet to tidewater, but
a necessary part or this proposal
will he the construction of a
breakwater and harbor of refuge j

of from three (o five, million dot- !
lars. There is ample depth of j
water in front of Katalla, tint n j
breakwater is necessary to make I
the harbor safe for stopping in!

Three Per Cent Bonds.
Most of the hills will provide :
for a per cent bond issue, to i
provide funds for the construc
tion of the Alaska railroads, and
a redemption fund will lie created,
into which one-half the receipts
from I tie sale of Alaska lands,
timber, coal, etc., shall be divert
ed and also the net profits of the !
railroads after they get into op-j
eral ion.
Three years s the time eslimaU I
ed for the construction of the j
trunk line railroads, assuming :
that ample funds are provided,!
either iiy Imml issue, loan or ap- ;
propriations, and there is con- !
siderable sentiment in favor of:
taking over as much of I tie l*un- i
tuna canal railroad equipment and :
construction machinery as is!
deemed advisable.
House May Not be Able to Act.
As the Senate lias already or
ganized, there is no reason why
the Senate Committer on Terri
tories may not give immediate j
consideration to Alaska railroad j
hills, even though no report is j
made until the regular session i
next. Decetnh'er. Whether or not |
the House can do anything al the j
special session will depend up- j
on whether or not the committee
organize. It the committees are
formed, the Committee ’on Ter
ritories can lack up these hills,
give hearings, and formulate
some lull for report to the House,
and there is a possibility there
may he action, if the leaders con
sent. to consider Alaska railroad
legislation at the tariff season.
At present, however, the House
leaders want to crowd out every
thing hut the tariff, want to hold
up the formation of committees,
and leave nothing before the pub
lic hut the tariff. The date of the
Alaska railroad hills, therefore,
largely hinges on the House pro
gram, so far as the special ses
sion is concerned. If not con
sidered then, there is no reason
why these hills can no) receive
prompt rimsider.nl ion when con
gress reconvenes in December.
