SEWARD. ALASKA. MAY 9, 1914
THERE seems to bo no «|uestion nu< that if there is only on<
railroad to be built by the government in Alaska it will go mto
the interior from Portage bay or Sew ml. That fact has been
pretty generally conceded ever sine- the railroad bill was debated
in the senate. The Daily Alaskan has
THOSE RAILROAD expressed the hope and beliet that two
ROUTES trunk lm—s would be built, in .ucotdancc
' .t \ x>rt ot tile Alaska Kailroad
commission. In that event there -orId be no question but that a
line would be built from Chitina to I : banks. Negotiations by
the government with the Popper Ihver A Northwestern, railway :
have been going on for several weeks past. lliat positive ai j
rangements with this company 1 -ve not yet been made would:
seem to be indicated in the decis < o the Kngineerimg commis
sion to first start their survey pa - '-in Fairbanks over to the,
Susitna country. This particului would not likely la* built if!
the trunk line from Phitina to tl u ' i»r had been decided upon.,
We are still hopeful that tlie hf i is to be built and that
Cordova will be made a terminal : • course the line into
the Bering river coal fields wT - Pordova, and that wdl
mean great expansion for this c -amity. But we believe that
we have the most feasible route • ’ Tunana river, and that con
struction is what we are all hup: g - t ordova Alaskan.
WE discovered the champion < ireful man the other night.
He chewed a coffee bean be for u . uoning home to his wife to
say that business had detaimv idi 1 the office.
THERE certainly should ason for this past week
going past swifter than any <>ther. » there can be no doubt that
it has been very fleeting.
TIME was when a man could hide himself behind a woman s
petticoats, but the introduction <* Transparent skirts has made it
impossible.
A friend of ours told us the <»• u- day that he had dismounted
from the water wagon in order v» cive his seat to an old mar. So
obliging.
LIFE is full of disappointmet ’■>. as the old lady said when
she mistook the kerosene eonta.nor for the gin bottle.
AVIATORS are now using aeroplanes for smuggling. Evi
dently they are tired of the old Customs.

In brief, is surely destined to be the
most important city in Alaska. Its
ideal location; its fine harborage
facilities; its natural advantages as
the gateway to the great interior of
Alaska; its'logical railway route to
the biggest aud best coal fields of
Alask—all combine to insure and aid
toward the building of a big city
