GOVERNMENT ROAD CERTAIN, '
Alaska - railroad construction;
seems certain by reason of the j
-close co-operation of Delegate
Delegate Wiekersham and prom
inent Alaskans now in Washing
ton who are working to this end.
The news is gratifying to all sec
tions of the north as it means
much for the general prosperity :
of the territory.
Returning from a trip east, R. j
W. Baxter, vice-president, of the
Copper River & Northwestern
railroad and one of the popular
big men in Alaska transportation
circles, says:
“Action of .some kind in the im
mediate future is, certain to he
taken,” he said, "but whether the
government itself will build and
attempt to operate the road, or
will guarantee the interest on the
bonds of a private company, or
will build the road and lease it
to private persons to he operated
a royalty, is something that
present conditions at Washing- j
ton make it impossible to fore- !
cast accurately.
“So far as the investors I rep
resent are concerned, it makes
little difference ho\>\lhe road is
built. We wan I Ihej country op-j
ened up. We have many millions j
of dollars invested and tied up in j
the territory, and the more ac- ;
(ion we can get on the money, the •
better we shall be pleased. Y\ c t
.spent about .S20.000.000 in rail- |
road construction in Alaska and)
were willing to spend a great deal j
more, if we could have been sup- j
plied with fuel. At. that time we'
had to import our coal from Brit- J
ish Columbia, and finally, in ul— j
ter despair uf gelling any definite -
decision in regard In Alaska coal
lands, we wit.mpelled In in— .
stall oil burning apparatus.
"It is a crime lii allow I lie lliel |
resources of Alaska to lie useless j
in the ground, while the four j
greatest enterprises in I he terri— j
lory are compelled lo import fuel I
oil from California, where there!
already is strong local demand I
and large market for it. Hut. the
people of I lie East, who are in
thru majority, seemed lo want it
that way. and we are helpless In
change things.
"1 diil not go lo W ashington to
offer the government any advice
regarding railroad building in
Alaska. Any advice 1 might give
would certainly he criticized as
coming from an interested party.
We are for the opening of Alaska
to development, first, last and all
the time, and don’t care to be
come involved in any controver
sies. Furthermore, the govern
ment has the r*<port of the Alas
ka Railroad Commission, which
was prepared by the most compe
tent engineers -it was possible to
find and regarding whose honesty
and integrity there can he no
question.
“There has been a revolution
of feeling in the East in regard
to the bottling of Alaska. People
are generally growing weary of
reports and investigations and
demanding action.”—Juneau Dis
patch.
The lamb and the jack ass shall
lie down together.
Springfield is to have an orgy
of legislation this week. There
ought to be a law against orgies.
Owners of smoking automobiles
are to be fined, but owners of
smoking railroads continue to
make promises.
People who live where all tho
streets are asphalt and there' are
no lawns have a license to despise
dandelion greens.

Perhaps Tom Marshall refuses
to abide in Oblivion because he
cannot get hl°n£ With AJton
Brooks Parker, of that address.
All the land held by Japanese
in California would not, pay the
costs of a few minutes of real
war, which is civilization’s most
expensive pastime.
Possibly the embarrassed young
woman in the ‘‘September Morn”
picture is widely admired because
she doe's not wear a fashionable
Bulgarian garment.
Those who measure progress
by the continually growing pro
portions of the big red moving
van will lake further comfort
from I lie May day developments.
Let the public withhold its cen
sure of Mr. Bryan for making
Ben Davis chief clerk of the Stale
department. This is not, the Ben
Davis who invented the awful ap
ple. _
Mrs. (). H. P. Belmont says
sin* hales ami loathes lingland.
Well, she has the price of a lick
el l,o dear old America and ought
to come home before she begins
throwing bricks.
.
Seattle may think that her larg
er population entitles her to more
appointments by the Wilson ad
ministration but Tacoma far ex
ceeds any other city of the slate
in the number of “statesmen.”
The Washington Star says that
Mr. Marshall is the lirsl popular
orator to occupy tin* vice presi
dency since Breckenridge. Has
the Star forgotten the gentleman j
who was vice president from |
March 1 until September I S. I
190 I ?
The colonel may strongly dis
approve of the course of Governor
Johnson on the Japanese ques
tion. Or he may approve it as a
demonstration of the impotence
of .the federal government and
the need of more centralization of
power.
The enloiujl's political follow
ers have infinite variety. Suppos
ed to stand for new nationalism,
which means , a more strongly
centralized federal government,
they on (-democrat the Democrats
in the assertion of the states’
rights doctrine in California.
“Come on, iet's go ami buy j
some bargains at Adler’s.”
