It would appearr to a oloae ob
server a* if a.movement is on foot
in town to abandon the attempt to
secure a government wagon road
fSom Valtlez. to> the Viukon, An
article attempting to pave tlie way
tbr thisrchange was- published two
weeks ago in the News* and the
Chamber of. Commerce has sanc
tioned it hyv adopting instructions
tor a delegate at Washington, in
which no mention is made of a
Wagon road..
To abandon the wagon road pro
ject at this time,.when conditions
are most favorable to seoure the
appropriation from Congress, is to
give Valdez, a great setback. Con
gress lias- shown its unwillingness
to assist railroad schemes in the
past and. we have no reason to
think that it will change this ses
sion, while in the wagon road mat
ter we are assured that the outlook
is most favorable. To attempt at
this time to secure a subsidy for
any railroad scheme, and drop the
wagon road, will disgusd.our strong
set helpers in Congress and will re
sult imtheir. dropping the matter
of better.transportation for Alaska
entirol'A They, will think we are a
set of grafters* influenced by any
hair-brained scheme that comes up
and without sense enough to know
w’ at will be for the best interests
of the community.
Even if Congress could be in
duced to guarantee interest on rail
'nmdi bonds, who would reap the
benefit? Would not the Alaska
Central road, with a showing al
ready made, be the one that would
get the interest?
If the Chamber of Commerce
wants to preserve any semblance of
a representative body; if it wantsto
advance Valdez and hasten the de
velopment ohthe country tributary
to Valdez,, it should work for. the
wagon road. If the Chamber wants
to give Valdez a set-back and as
sist the Steward.people, it can do so
$y advocating government assist
ance for. some combination of rail
road promoters,.and.going, bock on
Jfelson, Cushman and the others
who worked so hard for. us- at
the last session of congress.
