ONE RAILROAD MAN FDR GOV
ERNMENT RAILROAD.
1£. E. Swergal, of the New York
Central and Hudson River rail
road, who visited Alaska this
year, strongly supports the prop
osition of a government railroad
in Alaska, in a signed article in
the current Railway Gazette, in
which In; answers the contentions
of those that oppose government
construction and advances ar
gumenls in'support of it, he sums
up the Alaska situation with
these recommendations:
“What is needed as a remedy is
the adoption hy the government
j)f a detinilo and businesslike de
velopment program, embracing
live gelneral items: (1 Early
development of railroads by pri
vate enterprise, assisted and reg
ulated by the government, or
wholly undertaken by the gov
ernment. (2j Revision of min
ing laws, particularly coal land
jaws, lo permit of practical and
early development. (3 More
liberal appropriations to the
army engineers (who have
charge of highways and telegraph
and cable lines i, to enable them
to effect a more rapid extension
of trails, and for the substantial
bridging of streams at dangerous
lords. (i), A comprehensive
plan for additional fixed aids to
navigation along Hie coast. (5)
Construction of fortified coaling
bunkers for naval and merchant
vessels at a practicable harbor
on the Southwestern coast. The
latter item is a gravely import
ant one when we consider the
possibility of an American-Asiat
ic war. Results of expert inves
tigation have demonstrated Dial
Alaska coal is as good for steam
ing purposes as the best dualities
of coal found in tin* eastern
states.
"Railroads, however, are I he
first and most important need,
for without I hem the potentiality
of the country cannot In* develop
ed. In view of the nominal
amount Alaska cost, us, consider
ing the immense prolil we have
already derived, and well know
ing what the country still holds
in store for us, why should we
hesitate longer to substantially
aid in the work of development?"
WHAT DID THEY DO TO HIM.
While I lie steamer Al-Ki was
in purl on its way south, a pas
senger look the opportunity lo
visit |he town. Ilo appeared very
talkative, as well as friendly, and
lo a degree showed a disposition
to speak about Juneau. A resi
dent of Petersblllg who is pos
sessed of an inquisitive mind and
being at the time in a receptive
mood, saw his opportunity for a
little informal ion and proceeded
lo make a few remarks compli
mentary to the capital c-ily, which
brought some caustic retorts
from the visitor.
According lo that man, there
isn’t a man in Juneau who has
the right to claim that his soul
is his own. That the Juneau
boom is merely based on “hot
air.” Likewise, that they arc
playing .a “bunco game,” eic. Now,
what do you think of that?
A further inquiry, however, re
vealed the fact that this man win
appears to have been "persona
non grata” in Juneau, is from
Seattle. That was enough. Ami
while- we are constrained to ad
mit that a Seattleite—from force
of habit or practice—ought to be
competent to judge whether a
man is the sole owner of his soul
or whether he is “peddling hot
air,” yet, we are not disposed tr
take his word for* such a fool
statement as that. Nevertheless
we should like to know what the
people of Juneau did to that Se
attle booster.—Petersburg Pro
gressive.

Notice to Public.
Pertaining In the sale of the
(reunite <!nhl Mining company
! i Tatum propertyl slock, there
seems to lie a misunderstanding,
and the impression has gone out
that the hoys al the dill' have
subscribed for all Hie stock of
fered, Imf this is a mistake. They
! have subscribed and paid for
(1(10 worth of stock. The miners
and laborers of Ibis section have
been among the lirsl to purchase
stock, which is a splendid tribute
to the property, as most of them
are familiar with the claims and
know of | he ore uncovered.
This is the first lime that stock
in a mining property in the Val
dez precinct has been offered In
the public after the claims have
been so far developed as lo as
sure a mine and the amount of
ore blocked out justifying the
erection of a mill. The sale of
treasury stock at this time is for
the purpose of securing funds lo
place1 a mill on the ground that
the ore already uncovered maybe
milled. H. F. MM.I.AItD.
