FITTING
CONSUMMATION
With 140 cars of coal per month going from Healy
to the Fairbanks region for industrial uses and heat, and
"with another growing demand to the south, the Alaska
Railroad is filling out part of the destiny for which it was
originally intended. There is no apparent reason why
thousands of cars of coal should not be thundering into
the holds of ships at Seward docks, right at this moment
except that the coal lobby in Washington has tied the
hands of the Army, Navy and other government agen
cies, as well as the transportation companies which still
tell Uncle Sam where to head in. In other words, Uncle
Sam has a railroad and cant use it for the purpose for
which it was conceived and executed. In the meantime
the thoughtless and uninformed get up on their hind
legs in Congress or vaporize in the press asking why the
tne people of the United States should advance any more
money to keep the road going, absolutely ignoring the
fact that we have a territory one-fifth their own size and
have a lot of things besides coal.
curious fact that these harpies will harp about
a small pittance for the Alaska Railroad, and will then
turn arourd in softer mood and will recall pleasurably
fbe days when Uncle Sam advanced over $100,000,000
*--* vwa.^Aion ui the Union Pacific and the develop
ment of the West.
General Manager Otto F. Ohlson, of the Alaska Rail
road, goes to Washington next month to confer with the
Secretary of the Interior, and to present his budget for
the coming year. If he asks for four or five million dol
lars to carry out his ideas we trust Congress will not be
hesitant in appropriating that amount. Dont tie his hands
.but give him a chance and watch him go!
If America knew of the opportunities for wealth
that await capital in the West and Alaska there would
fee a rush to partake of these riches.
The average age of convicts is younger than former
ly, which is perhaps due to the superior advantages en
joyed by the present generation.
From the standpoint of economy the only people
vviio really ought to vote are those who won’t kill other
people's votes.
