Washington, Maj^ 15.—In an inter
view on the proposed Alaska railroad
Secretary Lane stated today that the
first survey is to be made m the Su
sitna valley because this route taps
both the Matanuska and Nenana coal
fields.
“One of the first duties of the engi
neering commission will be to deter
mine whether Seward or Portage Bay
is preferable for the terminal,'" said
Secretary Lane. “ The road must be
started from tidewater, as all material
win ha . e to be hauled over the line as
it is extended inland.
The secretary intimated that tne
road may be built by the present com
missioners if they make good on the
survey work. He says he is highly
satisfied with the present board.
Benjamin Campbel, formerly con
nected with the New Haven road, was
appointed engineer for the Alaska com
mission today. He will leave for Se
attle as soon as possible.
