RAILROAD FROM
INLET TO NOME
THEN TO RUSSIA
SEATTLE, Jan. 1>.—Eastern inter
ests have taken under consideration
the project of building a raliroad
from Cook Inlet to Nome, Alaska,
and then to Bering Straits where the
line would cross to Siberia and con
nect with the Trans-Siberian rail
road, according to \V. E. Smith, chief
engineer of the Alaska Short Line
railroad, says the Times. The pro
ject, if carried out, would give a con
tinuous railroad from Cook Inlet to
Pet rog rail, Russia, and thence to
Paris, France.
Such a project has been advanced J
at different times in the past, and
Smith said yesterday that the isolated
condition of the Russian empire in
the present war is resulting m the
proposition receiving serious consid
eration in important quarters.
Bering Strait, is fifty miles wide
with the Dinomede islands almost in
the center. The proposition would in
volve boring a tunnel from each side
of the Islands. The project, Smith
said yesterday in his office* in the
Lyon building, would open up the
tremendously rich Kuskokxvim river
district. He maintains that it would
supplement the work of the govern
ment’s A askan railroad in developing
tl.e great North
