iIn* pie— of the ea—l i- -till terribly “upset" because the government
bought the Vlaska Northern instead of the Topper River railroad. That east
ern pres.- i- supposed to lead the opinion of the whole country hut apparently
the press is ltd itself by the nose, with golden lingers to pinch that same
nasal organ. Hasty accusations are often worse than the crime for which
the accusation i- levelled but it i- a mighty suspicious fact that great eastern,
metropolitan newspapers with millions of dollars at their disposal for use in
securing the truth should make such puerile editorial errors when dealing
with the Vlaska railroad question. The New V oi k Times has recently come
out with one of those as-inine editorials which have apparently no other oh
icct on earth than to discredit the administration by suggesting rather than
accusing the president and Secretary Lane of a blunder when they purchased
thi- road her* at S* ward instead of the Guggenheim one. It begins the editor
ial by -ayiug that a rivalry exists between Cordova and Seward and then
goes on in a manner which t- intended to make it seem that what the New
\ork Time- has to say editorially -hould be shouldered on Cordova. It tries
to make Cordova the goat for statements that schoolboys in Alaska could
have aided it in avoiding.
The distance between Cordova and I airhanks is less than the distance
between Seward and I airhanks, according to the limes. 1 he Copper River
railroad is pay mg and it run- through better mining, agricultural and other
-ort- of country, while having better grades. But tin* worst ot all the state
ment- made by th* V \. Tim*- t- the suggestion that the government, by
running a railroad m *q> post ion to th** Cordova road, may so reduce th** value
of that railway I bought for a bargain as the Vlaska Northern
was bought. If tli- i- a suggestion that the admnistration intend any such
thing it i- unworthy of any new-paper. But, how is it that the limes cannot
see that when it admit- the Seward road to have been bought at a bargain
it give- a very go*>d argument to the trieuds of the administration.
The following are the winding up words of the Times statement:
“The Copper River A Northwestern railway, running from Cordova, is
already in operation and i- earning -omcthii g more than expenses, including
tax**-. Last year it carried more than 7,000 passengers and 23,6U.» tons of
freight. So Mask* will ha\* two railroads instead of one. unless the C or do v a
A Copper river line -hould succumb to government competition. In that case,
if the government should he inclined to extend its held ot railroad operation,
it might he able to buy the Cordova road at a bargain, as it has done in the
t*a>e of the vlaska Northern.
The greatest of Vla-ka's curses i- not poor mining laws, nor gambling
nor dissipation nor idlenvs- nor carpet baggers nor women nor wine nor
brown bcar> nor wolves nor ti-h trap- nor incompetent federal investigation
nor claim jumpe - nor bli//aid-. The greatest cur-** of Vlaska »s the effort
on the part of certain unworthy members ol the legal profession to create un
just litigation. A bounty of ten dollar- a bead has just been placed by the
legislature on wolv,The amount i- loo small for the human wolf who
