In an editorial of the issue of
Feh. 16, the Seattle P.-I. uses a
half column of space at the solici
tation of a fake enterprise, and for
other reasons best known to the
editor.
The article is headed “Alaska
Roads."and shows throughout ma
liciousness. ignorance of the situa
tion and geography of the country,
and a weakness on the part of the
instigators who again claim to have
the necessary capital to go ahead
with their enterprise.
It is incomprehensible why the
P.-I. should show such a vindictive
spirit against tire people of Valdez,
who, for the past six years, while
attempting unaided to open up this
vast country, have spent in the
Seattle markets many thousands of
hard earned dollars.
After giving a ridiculous reason
why the Nelson bill, which provides
for a wagon road from Valdez to
and through the interior of Alaska,
should fail in its passage, the edi
torial states-“But while this’fact
nay be an argument against an ap
propriation for the construction of
the particular wagon road suggest
ed, it is not an argument against
making at least as large an appro
priation as the one proposed for
the construction of roads along
other routes to l>c selected.” This
looks like a very poor makeshift
argument. That a road is neces
sary is admitted, then why net
from Valdez?
During last summer four U. 9.
senators, of undoubted ability, trav
eled through Alaska and acquired
a better knowledge of the country
at large than is possessed by many
who have lived here for years. Up
on reaching Washington they made
an official report of their trip which
was published in the P.-I. of Jan.
14. Had the writer of the editor
ial above referred to gone over this
vepwrt he woud have found as fol
lows:
“As a basis for a system, a well
constructed wagon road should con
nect the waters of the Pacific at
Valdez with those of the Yukon
river at Eagle, the length of which
to be about 400 miles. This would
follow the general lines of the mili
tary trail constructed under the
direction of the war department by
I’apt. Abercrombie in lsHO anii
3000, along which trail there has
been since construeted and put into
operation a military telegraph line.
Valdez is the most northerly har
bor in the Pacific ocean. It is, in
all essential particulars, the finest
harbor on the coast, being open and
free from ice throughout the year,
and is the nutural gateway to the
mterior. It is the key to the Cop
per river country, the upt>er Tan
ana and the Forty-Mile district
and to their future development.
The time has now come when the
construction of a wagon road over
this route is imperatively demand
» ed.”
ine editorial runner states, "The
proposed Valdez road was designed
to open up one small section of
interior Alaska."
As a matter of fact the proposed
Valdez wagon road is designed to
•pen at least 40,000 square miles
•f elegant valley land, and it would
he well for the writer to bear in
■kind the fmet that this, enormous
tract of virgin soil will afford space
Cor 80,000 homesteaders.
If the people back o< the Alaska
Central railroad have as they claim
sufficient capital to bnild their
road, why don't they go ahead and
do so without knocking. If their
engineers had gone in over the
•nsntry they would have found
that their proposed line and the
Hn» of the wagon road do not coma
within one hundred miles of each
other at any one place.
The P.-I. makes a grievous error
when it accepts statements from
I others who know less about Alaskn
I even than tho P.-I. does.
Valdez looks to Seattle for friend
ship. and will not tumely submit
to unmerited aiul uncalled for
knocks
Just at this season of tin* year it
might pay to have telephone sta
tions somewhere along the trail, so
that the boys could speak a lust
fond adieu when taking thair final
leave for the season.
