SEWARD, ALASKA. TUESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1916.
Delegate Wickorsham wired the Cook Inlet Pioneer on December 14
that he found no objection to the emergency appropriation for the govern
ment railroad. This was published in the Gateway before but the full text of
the message has now come with a copy of the Pioneer. It is as follows:
“Have had full talk with Secretary Lane concerning emergency appro
priation. Think certain of passage. Committee just appointed today. I find
no objection among members. May go over until after holidays. Will ad\isc
you.”
Before this appears in print the committee will probably have reported
the bill out, as Secretary Lane stated in his cable to the Gateway last Satur
day. But, it is a peculiar human characteristic that when a man is about to
receive something he is more nervous and anxious than when he is about to
receive nothing and expects nothing.
%
The stock in trade of agitating politicians is to create opposition. You
know, you cannot be a giant killer unless there are giants. As the genie rose
from the flames in the East so rise the terrible opposition from the overheated
brain of the man who is looking for votes or praise by picturing himself as
another St. George.
The passenger rate on the government railroad as far as it has been
built is about six cents a mile. This rate is only temporary, of course, but
what a vista it opens to our eyes through the territory of Alaska. Round
trip to Mile Six. seventy cents. To Mile Fifty, three dollars instead of two
or three days hard work. To Anchorage, seven or eight dollars. There was
a day and it is here yet when a mush to Fairbanks meant something as big
as travelling to Europe. Soon you will walk to a ticket office in Seward ami
ask the price of a ticket to the Tanana metropolis.
“Twenty-seven dollars and forty-five cents."
“When is she due there?"
“Tomorrow evening at 9 o’clock sharp."
The tourist buys a Gateway with the small change, steps aboard, the
train rattles off and Mr. Tourist leans back and smiles superiorly at the
thought of ail the foolish things he read about the hardship of travelling in
Alaska.
The city printing this week for the year will amount to about six hun
dred dollars. Printing has already cost the city $456 ami two more notices
are now to be printed. And the printing of ordinances, etc., has only begun.
Before the council goes out of office the printing will be in the thousands
easily If it keeps up the present pace. But what this paper desires to say
particularly just now is that if the bid of the Gateway had been accepted
this bill of six hundred dollars would be less than half. In other words the
tax payers are giving charity to men whom Councilman Youngs last night
indirectly hinted at as “stockholders.”
