MORGAN’S PLAN.
The following article from the
New York Journal of Commerce of
July 13 will be of general interest to
Alaska and throughout the Pacific
Northwest:
“Wall Street believes that J. P.
Morgan & Co. the Guggenheims and
other capitalists are considering com
prehensive plans for development
work in Alaska.
“What has prompted steps in this
end, it is said, are conditions brought
about by the European war. Accord
ing to rumor these plans call for an
increased output of copper and other
metals, railroad development to be ;
worked in conjunction with the con
struction of the United States govern
ment lines and additional steamship
facilities from the tidewater termin
als of these railroads to the metal
smelter at Tacoma and great metal j
consuming districts of the Atlantic
coast of the United States and Europe
through the Panama canal.
“These interests have already tak
en over large copper properties, in
cluding the Beatson Copper Company,
and are expected to acquire others.
The purchase of the copper proper- j
ties is being affected through the
Kennecott Copper Corporation, con
trolled by the Morgan-Guggenheim
interests.
Here follows a short description of
the Kennecott company, which was ,
told of at length in the Monday Morn- j
ing Financial section of July 5.
The Journal then continues:
“The Kennecott mines are among
the large properties in the world,
their output alone, it is said, having
more than supported the Cop
per River & Northwestern railway,
which was built some years ago from ,
Cordova to Chitina, with a branch j
line from there to Kennecott, at a I
j total cost of about $14,000,000. From j
i Chitina there is a military wagon j
road to Fairbanks, 300 miles away,
the metropolis of Interior Alaska, and
it is known that for years the (opper
River & Northwestern railway consid-1
ered the extension of its • railroad
along that road, but was halted by the
attacks made on Alaskan railway
' promoters in connection with the pol
j itical fight for the national conserva
I tion of coal resources.
“Meantime the United States gov
ernment plans for greater railroad
i development in Alaska are moving
! fast to successful conclusion. It is
| the intention of the American capital
ists who are entering the Alaskan
field on such a large scale to work
their plans in entire harmony with the
' plans of the government, doing evcry
| thing possible to prevent the recur
1 re nee of the friction between govern
mental and private interests vshich
have held back the growth of Alaska
to date.”

GOVERNMENT SHOULD
HIRE DETECTIVES.
JUNEAU.—Governor J. F. A.
Strong yesterday stated that the
Unted States government should hire
trained detectives and keep them on
the job until the perpetrators of the
many murders in the interior have
been brought to justice.
“The twelve or fifteen murders
which have been committed in the
Third and Fourth divisions within
the last few years are very good evi
dence that there is a murderer, or a
gang of murderers at large in that
section,” said Governor Strong, “and
I haven't a doubt in the world that
if trained men were put on the job
the guilty parties would be found,
and that all of the crimes would In
traced to the same course.
“At the time of the finding of the
bodies on the Valdez trail a couple of
years ago the government put two
men on the pay roll for over a year
without any results. Marshal Bren
ncman wrote to me at the time they
were let go and I wrote to the at
torney general and asked him to re
tain them for a time longer. He re
plied that the funds were exhausted
and so the men were dropped from
the pay roll and nothing had been ac
complished.”—Dispatch.
JUNEAU PROPERTY
KI NS INTO MILLIONS.
JUNEAU.—The assessed valuation
of the real and personal taxable prop
erty in the city of Juneau runs well
into the million mark.
The figures, as compiled by the city
assessor for the year 1915 taxes,
show that the estimated taxable valu
ation of the property is $3,250,266.
This is a three-quarters estimate of
the total valuation.
This amount has been changed
some by the Board of Equalization,
but not much, as the reductions will
about offset the raises in valuation.
City Clerk E. W. Pettit said yester
day that the reductions and raises al
most balance, but the totals are not
available as yet as they have not been
figured up since the board adjourned.
The city council wlil fix the rate of
tax levy at their regular meeting on
Friday night.—Dispatch.
FOREST MONEY SUIT
ARGUED YESTERDAY.
JUNEAU, July 23.—Judge Jen
nings yesterday afternoon listened to
the arguments of Attorney John H.
Cobb in favor of the demurrer to the
suit over the Forest Service money,
instituted by the members of the last
legislature from the First division.
John G. Heid answered for the
plaintiffs in the case. The matter
was taken under advisement by Judge
Jennings, and he will announce his
decision at a later date. In the mean
time the Territorial Treasurer is pre
vented from paying out any of the
money to other divisions.
