FAVORS AID TO RAILROADS
t'ongre— man Hamilton of Michigan,
chairman of the house committee on
territories, i- a strong advocate of
government aid for railroad building
in Alaska. In a rejYort made to the
house recently he -aid;
••Our neighbor on the north. th<*
Dominion of Panada, i- now
engaged in aiding the construction ol
another great trunk line of railroad
across the continent from the Atlantic
to the Pacific to the extent of about
itl50.000.000. This route v ill have a
♦ erminus at or near Port Simpson,
which i- at the southern end of Alaska
and which will l>e nearer by 500 or
«0O mile- to Alaskan ports than any
port in the United States. Roads are
also projected from that line to the
Yukon territory, and possibly on into
Dawson. Hundreds of miles of the
most difficult construction will be done
by the government and turned over to
•he company on a 3 per cent, basis.
‘*lt is therefore easy to see that un
le-s we shall do something to aid in
the speedy construction of railroads in
Alaska the trade of that country will
be lo-t to out people and will be taken
over by those people who have the en
terprise and courage to build railroads
into that part of the world."

men are in the party, and they have
an expensive equipment, intending to,
sta\ until aUait October. Their outfit I
inci'aVs twenty horses and a large!
launch for river transportation.
Several noted men are in the party. 1
Or. Ct 'k is an eminent New York I,
physician with a large practice, whose 11

1,h e:i extensive traveler and ha
published several KhjUs ol travel aud

}Vary Arctic expedition of l'<<>l-b2 ;md
of tin Belgian Antarctic expedition of 1
1*07-W.
In the Cook party is Prof. H. C. ,
Parker, professor of physics in folum- ,
hi a university. New York City, who is
also an entiisiastie explorer and moun
tain climber, a member of the Ameri
can Alpine Club, as is Dr. Cook. Prof. (
Parker has the distinction of being
the first man to climb three difficult
peaks in Brit i>h Columbia and Alberta.
Another noted man in the Cook
party is IT \Y. Porter, who returned !
only last fall with the Fiala north polo
j expedition, which suffered great hard
ships. Prior to that he was in the!
Baldwin north pole expedition. A
fourth member is Belmore H. Blown,
a magazine writer from Tacoma. The
tifth member of the Cook party proper 1
is Walter Miller, a Seattle photog- j
rapher who makes a specialty of scen
ic photography and has done a great
i deal of that kind of work for the Times
ami Post -1 n t e! 1 i gencer.
The only members of the present
party who were with Dr. Cook in his
Mt. McKinley raid two years ago were ’
Mr. Miller and. F. Prince, who has j
general charge of the transportation
of equipment. He is assisted by J. j
Brill. Two volunteer members of the j
party are It. Ball and S. P. Beecher.
The party will tir.st go up the Yent
na and cross the divide to the head 1
waters of the Kuskokwim to leave
part of the horses and supplies there.
Two men will be left in charge of the ;
outfit and to explorethe western foot-!
i hills while the remainder will come j
back and ascend the Susitna and Chu-1
Utna to the eastern foothills, from
which the explorations will begin.
The explorers are not sanguine of
i reaching the top of the mountain this
year. Prof. Parker admitted that in
view of the fact that the peak is more
. than 20.000 feet high and the snow line
is between 3000 and 4000 feet that they
will hf doing well to ascend part way
and determine a feasible route of get
ting near the top next year. If this is
done they will come back next year
with two Swiss guides. On account of
the immense deposits of perpetual
snow the ascent of the higher slopes
will he very dangerous and only tho
i trained instinct of a Swiss mountain
eer can be trusted to avoid perilous
i gorges tilled with snow.
Does Not Want Bounty Jumpers
Several hobos who came up on thej
Santa Ana upon transportation fur
nished by the Alaska Central landed
at Evak and wanted to work for M. ,T.
Honey on the railroad there. Mr.
Heney informed them that he did not
want men who jumped their transpor
tation and they piled back on the boat.!
At Valdez they were received with
open arm- by the representatives of
the local knockers* club who meet
every boat at the dock to announce
that Seward lias been taken from the
map. The fare jumpers got off and!
will spend all their money in Valdez.

STOESSEL APPEALS
TO NOGI FOR HELP
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.
Tokio. May L's Gen. Stoessel. re
ported to have been condemned to
death by a Russian court martial for
his surrender of Port Arthur to the
■Japanese in the late war. today ap
pealed to Gen. Nogi. who commanded
the besieging Japanese army, to go to
St. Petersburg and testify before the
court martial concerning the necessity
of surrender. Gen. Nogi will go. In
an interview today he said that Stoes
sel could not have held the city any
longer because he lacked the support
of Ids officers. Nogi says it was
Stoessel's subordinates who compelled
him to surrender and that to execute
him for what he could not prevent
would be grossly unjust.
Nogi wired today to St. Petersburg
asking if it were true that Stoessel
had been sentenced to death and in
the message stated his belief that the
surrender of Port Arthur at the time
it was made was justifiable.
