THE spirit of service which exists in the
operation of The Alaska Railroad, has
made our patrons our friends, and the safe
guarding and transportation of their ship
ments to stations on our line, to their entire
satisfaction is our ambition.
During the month of May the season of
river navigation will augment our rail serv
ice, and freight and passenger travel will
receive the benefit of our experience.
Trains will connect with all sailings on
the Tanana and Yukon Rivers.
Timetables, descriptive literature, etc.,
will be gladly furnished on request.

ed a committee of correspondents and 1
these kept in touch with one another
and made plans for the Union, not for
the colony or for any individual state.
So I am wondering if a similar organ
ization ih Alaska would not be help
ful. At least such a plan would be
useful for deliberation at Washing
ton. I have met your delegate to
Congress and my personal relations
with him have been pleasant and I
believe in his integrity. However, 1 j
do not hold to all of his views Con-!
siderable opposition generally always j
eminates on practically all Alaska’s ;
problems, regardless of what it may |
be and to the friends of Alaska this ■
i
is very disconcerting. You need more j
of the spirit of unity. The men and J
women of Alaska are real empire
builders and here I would like to
pause long enough to say €here is one j
government department, the Alaska
Road Commission, which is doing re- j
markable work. I know of no other 1
bureau in the United States giving j
such service on appropriations made as j
is this wonderful organization. I have
spent much time with them recently,
been on the trail with them, and when
I get back to Washington I am going
to unroll a picture before my broth
ers, a picture of these men plunging j
into the wilderness to mark out new !
roadways, working all night through, j
clearing out wash-ou^, on the road j
caused by glacial waters, in order
that the roads be passable. That’s
the way empires are built!
“The average member of Congress
doesn’t know much about Alaska for
generally he has enough trouble at
home, if not with state matters, the
matter of being re-elected, for perhaps
if they were not re-elected, it would be
a great calamity. So perhaps many
©f them do not understand the situa
tion as perhaps they should.
“Let's get some of the fundamental
things together and help Washington
^work out the solution of the problem.
Before I take my chair I must say I
: greatly appreciate the evidence of
friendliness and the honor of this din
ner. As chairman of the Senate Ter
! ritorial Committee your problems will
have my very best thought and atten
tion. I am always ready to give eat
| to you. The committee has a prodi
jgous expanse to legislate, for in addi
i tion to Alaska, the committee has the
| Hawaiian Islands, Philippines, Porto
Rico, and the Virgin Islands. To show
that Alaska is not discriminated
against, let me say that for 10 years
after the United States had purchased
t.he Virgin Islands, the people of that
country did not know of which coun
try they were citizens of. A prepos
terous condition, but true. Why, even
United States money was not legal
! tender in those islands. This simply
by way of illustration. Finally, the
] committee was able to get through
Congress a little bill which now per
mits United States gold as a medium
[ of exchange. ' I believe 'there is a
i steady increasing interest throughout
; the country in Alaska. So far as I
i have the power 'to do I will endeav
or to exert legislation for this Terri
! torv. I shall think of the problems of
| Alaska not only from the standpoint
of tile people who live here but as
| well from the standpoint of the people
■of the National Republic and, as Capt.
Nord said, ‘let us ‘‘pitch and roll” to
! gether.’”
