Seward, Alaska, January 20, 1914
Thursday next the Senate will vote on
the Alaska railway bill. Who can
foretell the result of that vote? For
many months, yes years, the people of
Alaska have prayed congress to do
something to aid them in bringing out
and oiling into the lap of the nation
the untold millions that lie hidden
within her borders. Nothing that con
gress could do would aid as much as
giving us a railroad so situated as to
tap that portion of Alaska containing
the vast riches. The one thing that
the government is most vitally inter
ested in is our great storehouse of coal,
and while it may seem that the road
is to he built for the purpose of devel
oping the wonderful resources of
Alaska, yet it is because of the fact
that the time is at hand when Uncle
Sam must have access to the great coal
fields to bring out the coal necessary
to supply the navy for years to come.
In buildiug for themselves they are at
the same time building for us—the
people of Alaska, who have spent many
years of our lives in the fastnesses of
this far-off northland in developing the
wonderful resources so abundant and
so easily gained if we are but given
the means of Cringing them out. The
great Matanuska coal fields lie right
at the door of Seward, and with a fair
field and no favors, the coast terminal
of the government railroad will be lo
cated here—not because Seward has
any particular pull with the powers
that be, but because it is the only logi
cal port from which the coal fields can
be reached.
“Knee breeches for men are bound
to come back, says the fashion author
ities. The women have beeh wearing
them ever since we can remember.”—
Valdez Prospector.
