Cushman Pledged.
In an interview after returning
to Tin-onm from Valdez, Congress-'
man Cushman said:
-"My reeent trip was the first;
that I have ever made to Valdes,
although I have previously visited
other parts of Alaska. The more
I see of that eountry the more f am
impressed with its possibilities.
They have a remarkable set of jieo
ple in Valdez. One living in tin
states might lie exeused for think
ing that the |ieoph- of that seetion.
living on the outskirts of eiviliza
tion. are of rude manners, hut they
are the most delightfully hospitable!
I ever met. Valdez society is far;
liettrr than that of many eomniun- \
l'ies of the states and the equal of
society anywhere, their hospital
ity is remarkable. We were, dur
ing our stay there, given every j
kind of entertainment possible.
Judge Wiekershain. who was,
holding court there, we found to be
n very |>opulnr man in Alaska.'
Since he is a Tacoma man the peo
ple of this city have reason to Im>
proud of what he has accomplished.'
It is the general testimony of men
of influence that he has made the
greatest record of any one man in
the whole district of Alaska.
“Valdez is. I am sure,destined to
la- one of the important cities of
Alaska. Its |>ositinn in the geogra
phy of the country is especially
strategic from a commercial point
of view. It is alMMit midway of
the great semi-cirele of the Alaskan
coast and is the jmint from whieh
the vast interior country can most
easily he reached. From Valdez
you go ii|> the Copper river and;
down the Tannna to the Yukon.
Unquestionably a government
highway or a railroad will l>c built
over that route within eighteen
months. Such a road would have
its terminus at Engle City or Circle j
City on the Yukon. It would pass
through a rich country of wonderful
possibilities. One of the country’s
greatest resources would lie agricul
ture. hut more wonderful than that
will 1k> tiie output of the copper
mines in case a railroad goes in.
Perhaps that is destined to liecome
the most famous rn|i|itf district in I
the world. In «me place tliere is a |
vast, mountain of copper The^
eruption* or erosion* have left a
great copper cliff that is estimated
to contain 9;tn.rmOjnoi) m •100.000.
000. It i* the opinion of those
well informed that if a railroad
goes in that district will coutml
the copper market of the world.
“On the question of a territorial
form of government I find the peo
ple divided. There is no middle
ground. The j>eojde arc either for
it nr against it, and pronouncedly
so. Hut on one thing they are
agreed: They area unit in the be
lief that the district should l>e rep
resented in congress hy a delegate,
or delegates.
“for my effort at the last session
of congress to secure the passage of
a hill allowing them suitable repre
sentation in congress 1 received
many warm congratulations. An
other effort will Ih> made this term
to secure the passage of a similar
hill, and I hope with lietter success.
“We crossed the trail of the sen
atorial party that went to Alaska,
and found that the senators had
made a most favorable impression
wherevej they had gone.”
Better Transportation Wanted.
Senator ileylntrn says:
“I was impressed on my visit to
Alaska this time with the impera
tive need for better communication
with the outside world. Both tele
graphic and trans)Mirtation facili
ties must l>e improved. I believe
faster bouts and more frequent
trips are demanded in the develop
ment of that country.
“It is a question whether any
thing can be done in this direction
through federal aid. Congress
will lie inclined to deal generously
with Alaska, and whatever can lie
done to aid that district will lie
ordered. The town of Valdez and
the country hack of it are entitled
to considerable attention and I sin*
trut that something will lie done to
improve conditions.”
