ATTENTION APPRECIATED
These are important days in the history of the gov
ernment railroad project, which has as its aim the open
ing and development of Alaska.
Construction work has proceeded to a point where it
is necessary for the chief builders to confer with those
selected by Secretary Lane to consider future traffic ar
rangements.
While the success of this project has been assured
since the appointment of three able angineers on the
Alaskan Engineering Commission, constantly changing
conditions and the advent of this country into the Euro
pean war have had varied effects.
There is no discounting the fact that the construction
work has been in able hands.
Development of resources along the line of the rail
road has gone on apace, and with assured tonnage from
the coal fields, the necessary income from the operation
of the road will be forthcoming pending extensive mineral
development in other lines, which takes time.
Judging from comments in some of the Alaskan press
there has been some misunderstanding concerning the
visit of the assistant to secretary Lane and his associates.
He has made it plain that while his duties include ad
ministration of Alaskan Engineering Commission affairs,
he has not prior to this time had an opportunity to famili
arize himself with the conditions surrounding the project,
and he is doing just that at this time. His associates are
well-known experts in railroading and are here on invita
tion of Secretary Lane in similar capacity to consulting en
gineers, whose visits to private projects in all lines is a
regular procedure and occasions no comment.
Alaskans are to be congratulated upon the fact that
Secretary Lane has so vital an interest in the welfare of
the territory, that he has taken every precaution to secure
the success of this great devlopment project.
The appointment of a special assistant for the project,
the naming of able men to superintend the work and the!
selction of experts to advise with them in regard to traffic:
all indicate the personal interest of the secretary and are:
guarantee of the future successful development of the ter
ritory from the Terminal City to the Yukon.
SEWARIVS FUTURE
j
Our attention was again called by an expert on the
mining and transportation of coal, recently in our midst to
the danger of over-estimating the value to any community
of making it the actual transfer point for fuel from rail
to ship.
This has been pointed out before in these columns, and
it has been made plain that the reason for urging that coal
he routed through Seward was based entirely on the desire
that this project be made an economic success from the
start.
Once the coal shipments begin only a few men will be
required to handle the transfer from car to pile and pile to
ship.
Seward’s real future lies:
First, in its importance in naval affairs as the key-base
to operations in the North Pacific.
Second, as a fishing center having contiguous the prin
cipal halibut and cod banks of the Gulf of Alaska; and,
Third, its terminal facilities as the gateway to a large
area of interior Alaska.
Of course all these things interlock with the import
ance of the government railroad, the coal fields, and the
unequaled value as a port, of Resurrection Bay.

TIRES or BOOTS
Uses she same rubber
Of all the hoot manufacturers in the world, only
The B. 1\ Goodrich Company knows how to use auto
mobile tire rubber in making “Hipress” boots and shoes.
Goodrich actuary puts in ‘*1 Tipress ” footwear the same tough
rubber that has made Goodrich Tires known all over the world
as “Best in the Ijjng Run. ”
Every “jTpress” Boot is just ONE SOLID PIECE of this tire rub
ber. That’s why White “Hjipress” Soles ACTUALLY DO OUT
\\ EAR S TEEL HOBNAILS! I hey have absolutely put an end to
half-soles and repair bills.
Be sure to get the genuine “Hipress”—look for “the Red Line ’round
the Top.”
