The Seattle P.-I. takes a very un
dignified position, when, after doing
all in its power to knock the only
improvement sought for in this
section of Alaska, and being remon
strated witli by every citizen of
Valdez and the country stretching
across to the Yukon, it undertakes
to justify its actions by slinging
mud at and otherwise abusing our
best citizens. Our chamber of com
merce is composed of ae clean and
brainy a set of men as can be found
in any city of the union. They
have formed themselves into a body
for the betterment of the country,
and spending their time, energy and
money to advance its bests inter
ests. They are the class of men
who for the past 100 years have,
step by step, been moving the
frontier line from the Atlantic clear
across to the Pacific coast in the
face of eve«y opposition. The feat
is accomplished and tlie country is
in the peaceable possession of
contented millions. The only fron
tier now is along the shores of Alas
ka. and that same adventurous
spirit is here along the line to drive
it eventually to the north pole.
It is certainly aggravating to
find a harrier in the persons of
those who arc to-day enjoying the
blessings derived from a civilized
community located where a very
few years ago the hostile native
held full sway, and was subdued
by this very same frontier spirit.
Those are the people who should
lend us every aid in our battle
against nature instead of knocking
us.
Ve have investigated the coun
try and its possibilities; we know
that unlimited mineral and agri
cultural lands exist in the interior,
but we are, with our limited means,
unable to give the would-be settler
a way of getting there, and are
forced to look to the government
for a slight assistance in the form
of a wagon road. W« are entitled
to it as we have more than paid
for it in the past few years.
It is true that the P.-I. in its
editorial of Feb. 16 advocated the
building of wagon roads in Alaska,
but stipulated that they should be
somewhere else rather than from
Valdez. We cannot comprehend
why it should not be from Valdez
rather than elsewhere. If the P.-I.
possessed the knowledge of this
country that it professes to have, it
would know that Prince William
Sound affords a magnificent water
way extending over 100 miles in
land from the Gulf of Alaska to
Valdez, an advantage possessed by
no other part of the coast of Alaska.
And from this point is saved the
building of over 100 miles of road
to arrive at any point on the Tan
ana or Yukon.
It would be well for the writer
of the P.-I. to study up the true
geographical situation of Alaska,
and be able to give a good, sensible
argument rather than resort to the
slinging of mud. the latter is an ar
gument generally resorted to by
■ loafers, and will on all occasions be
smear the party using it.
* * •
The Mining Journal says it is
much to tie regretted that Valdez
did not go to Congress with a more
meritorious proposition than the
building of a wagon road to Eagle,
and adds that in going to Congress
for the construction of a mere
wagon road, Valdez has invited the
building of a line from some other
point that will render the proposed
Wagou road worse than superfluous.
That is reasoning for you. A wag
on road from here through the
copper and gold deposits of the
Copper river valley will invite the
building of a line from some other
|>oinl to any old place, which will
render the wagon road worse than
superfluous. If the editor of the
Journul was in any way familiar
with this part of Alaska, he would
know that the topography of the
country is such that Valdez need
have nc fear of a line from another
]>ort rendering the wagon road su
perfluous. A railroad from any
other point on this coast will not
touch the country tributary to
Valdez, which the proposed wagon
road will open up.
