VOTE NEXT WEEK ON
ALASKA RAILWAY BILL
j -'
Washington, Jan. 29.—Representa
tive Humphreys, of Washington, in a
thrilling address before the house, ae
*
nounced the conservation of Alaska’s
resources.
Representative Johnson, speaking in
favor of the Alaska railroad bill, de
scribed the great coal resources of
Alaska. He said: “The government
gave an immense amount of land to en
courage the buildingof railroads in the
states, while they retain the resources
of Alaska, and will permit no one to
benefit from the great storehouse of
that territory.” He is in favor of the
retention of all land and mineral for
the people who make Alaska their
home, and who will develop the re
I
sources if but given an opportunity.
Representative Bryan of the state of
Washington, in a spectacular speech
in the house while discussing the
Alaska railroad bill, declared that the
passage of this measure means that
the government will acquire owner
ship of all railroads in the United
States. He is so much discredited,
however, that it is not thought that
his speech will have any effect on the
vote when the bill comes up for final
action.
Several members of the house spoke
in opposition to the Alaska railroad
bill and the discussion of the measure
is nearing an end. It is now believed
that the house may vote on the bill
next Wednesday.
