JONES URGES SECOND
CABLE VIA ALASKA.
Senior Senator Says Government
Should Act Promptly If pri
vate Interests Fail.
- •
ESTIMATED COST 150,000
Route Favored Touches Seward and
Aleutian Islands— Sentiment Ex
pressed Not Unfavorable to tlu
Proposed Alaska Route.
*
It is expected that at the next ses
sion of congress a bill will be intro
duced by Senator Wesley L. Jones,
paving the way for the preliminary
.vork of securing a -second transpacific
cable. ;
• j* -
Speaking before the members coun
cil at its luncheon last week- Senator
Jones said he would advocate govern
ment construction and ownership In
✓
jte event private companies , did nov
cake up the matter at once. He
complained that until there was talk
of the government interesting itseh
.ft*such a cable, private companies
did not exhibit much concern oyer
die inadequacy of present cable com
munications.
Unofficial approximate estimates
indicate the cost* will be about MB
o' mile andrthm outlay, togemer with
terminal facilities and other expenses,
will bring the!entire cost of the cable
«n excess of 150,000,000.
Senator Jones said at a conference,
.ater that sentiment expressed as a
result oi preliminary hearings was
not unfavorable to the route suggest
ed by Pacific Northwest interests,
namely from Puget Sound via the
present cable to Seward, thence by
me Aleutian islands to the far east.
The need of additional cables
acioss the Pacific has long been felt,
out with the growing commerce the
.nftdaquacy of present facilities is
mmbty emphasized. Except for the
military cable from Seattle to Alas
ka, the interisland cables in the ^Phil
ippines and a short line from Kay
4 , r .•
v 4,0 the Island of Dry Tortugi£:
, ' v 'r'
ail the American cables are private^
owned.
. The longest American cable, how
ever, is the Commercial Pacific Cable
company’s line from San Francisco to
Manila, via Honolulu, Midway island
and Guam, all American possessions.
At Manila it connects with the lines
of the Eastern Telegraph company
co Hong Kong, Shanghai and Japan
ese points. From Guam a branch
runs to the island of Bonin, where it
connects with the Japanese govern
ment cable to To+io. At Guam, also,
it connects with the line of the Den
csche-Nederlandische Telegraphen
seliscjiaft to Yap, whencfe the erman
company had lines to Shanghai and
to Menado, and thence te Borneo
and Java, with connections to 1*4**
and other points. This Gasman cable
formerly furnished an alternative
route to'Shanghai and otjber 'points
and could be used when interruptions
occurred o* the American line between
Guam and |fanils.
