AFTER THE FACTS
Our confidence in the judgment of Secretary Lane is
strengthened following personal acquaintance with the
men selected by him to inspect the work accomplished by
the Alaskan Engineering Commission and the coal fields,
with a view to the earliest possible shipment of coal.
These men are of the right sort, and it is difficult to
say more without resorting to much language and detail.
Suffice it to say. that local business men who discussed
matters with them were unanimous in expressing confi
dence in their judgment.
By some peculiar error it has been widely reported
that Assistant Secretary Meyer was here with Secretary
Fisher, and he hastened to correct this error, stating that
he had not been in Alaska before and was here to learn, to
meet Alaskans, to see conditions first hand, to hear sug
gestions. and in short, gather up all the information pos
sible, with a view to aiding the Secrtarv in shaping future
policies for territorial development.
_ . _ _ a. • 1*1 all
Meeting Mr. Shepherd ol San t rancisco was line talk
ing to an old friend, for he knows the California of the
writer’s youth, as well as today. He helped work out great
freight traffic problems which resulted in making the “land
of sunshine” an empire of wealth. His questions make it
very apparent that some one outside had handed him the
old stuff about “big grades between Seward and the coal
fields which would prohibit heavy traffic, let alone hauling
of coal, and that it would never do to haul coal by way of
this ort.” We could see him mentally comparing the Shasta
and Tehachipi grades of the Southern Pacific with the lit
tle two-two grade between here and the coal fields, but his
only comment on finding out that there is twelve miles of
two-two grade over which to haul coal was: “Not much to
that, is there?" and the rest of the party agreed.
Mr. Wendt showed the result of long association with
the Interstate Commerce Commission and its probes and
asked questions with speed and to the point. We have an
idea that given the mileage, cost of materials on the spot
and a few other details, he can subtract the water and
waste and give the real cost in a very short time.
Mr. Austin is also a busy delver alter tacts and fig
ures and loses no opportunity toacquire information. Hav
been in the Assistant Secretary’s office in Washington he
is in touch with many of the details which can be acquired
from reports and on this trip he is fitting the details with
the fact and comparing results.
All members of the party declare that the greatest
need for the general development of the territory is more
specific publicity, for in spite of the vast amount of liter
ature and reports which have already been sent out, the
majority of the outside public is densely ignorant concern
ing conditions, opportunities, needs and advantages of
Alaska.
