SEWARD, ALASKA. MONDAY, MAY 8, 1916. _____
The agricultural appropriation ha* been granted by congress and this
means that agriculture station* will be developed in Alaska. One of them
will be along the line of route of the railroad near Matanuska and will prob
ably fully prove the quality of the ground and climate for all this district.
It is one more of the signs of the intention of the government to develope the
country that will supply traffic to the railroad. And this work of government
development has only been begun. Indeed, it has not really commenced yet.
We have the richest government in the world, ami this government is build
ing a great railroad through a virgin territory. It is up to this government
to show that the money was well invested, and everyone knows who knows
the country that it has been, but the sooner#; is proven to all the nation the
better. Therefore, the government does not mean to build a railroad only,
and then to let it take the chance of resting for year* as a skeleton. It will
be the best and wisest policy to clothe the skeleton a* quickly as possible with
the flesh of a substantial body. Already the bones are taking on the flesh as
a natural consequence and the flesh will return the gift by keeping the life
in the bone*. This looks like a peculiar simile. Bones do not usually make
flesh, unless the example of Eve’s manufacture can be taken a* proo! of the
opposite, but. really, it seems to hit off this railroad situation. The railroad
first develope* the country and the country later developes the railroad. To
build the railroad was the government’s first work, to aid in matting it pa>
will be the next step. All of us should keep remembering this fact if we
sometimes feel inclined to be impatient when we find that it i* taking more
than a day to build Home.
