LOS ANGELES ON THE JOB
Mavor Don Carlos Brownell received a letter in this mail from the
Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce in which is given assurance of their
cooperation toward assisting Seward in securing coal bunkers. Also, a
duplicate copy addressed to California Representatives at Washing
ton. D. C. appealing for their assistance tc^vard obtaining the project.
.Aside from the fact that Alaska at last has struck “pay” in inter
esting an Outside organization to help developing our natural re
sources, for which Alaskans will forever remain grateful to Los Ange
les, of special importance is the brief mention made in the letters with
regard to just what coal bunkers will not only do in creating tonnage for
the Alaska Railroad, but the bearing it will have on a proposed devel
opments in the Los Angeles steel industry. We quote in part:
"While Southern California, with its present resources of oil and
natural gas. is not likely to be a consuming market for the Alaska coal,
we are, nevertheless looking forward to possible developments in the
steel industry in this section wherein the Alaska coking coal resources
would become a valuable factor. At the same time our municipal pow
er and light bureau is interested in the possibility of Alaska coal and
recently had one of its own engineers in the field.”
Again we thank Los Angeles for her prompt action which un
doubtedly helped a lot for it is now definitely assured, according to
recent word sent to this paper by General Manager Otto F. Ohlson, of
the Alaska Railroad, and from Delegate to Congress, James Wickersham.
The United States Senate, once justly regarded the foremost del
iberative body of the world, seems to have become but little more than'
a congress of small-bore politicians whose inane gabble distresses not
only the majority of people in the States but those up here in Alaska.

The destiny of Alaska, under autocrat bureau control, is similar to
Uie path which fades like the phosphorescent track of a ship plying
across the bleak northern gulf at midnight.
If money is the life-blood of commerce, transportation facilities
are the veins and arteries through which it pulses. And that’s why Sew
ard and Moose Pass and the entire Kenai Peninsula need the "Missing
Link” road.
Nautically speaking, remember the days when ice-cold “schooners”
came sliding down the slippery “bar?”
