| growing possibilities of the Su
;sitna valley and the Kenai pen
insula,” was the comment made
jin The Times by John E. Ballaine
las he left for his home in Seat
tle after spending the summer in
j these parts with a crew of en
gineers going over the birch and
j other timber areas in central
j Alaska.
Mr. Ballaine is the pioneer
'railroad builder and promoter of
j Alaska, in addition to being the
i founder of Seward. He organized
| the Alaska Central Railroad com
ipany in 1902, and was president
! of the Tanana Construction com
pany, which had the contract
i to build the railroad. After ex
ploring the route and making
■ the complete survey from Res
urrection bay to the Tanana riv
er in 1902, a year before Fairbanks
; came into existence, he built
j the firs^ section of the Alaska
Central from Seward, before sell
j ing it to the Frost and Osborne
I interests.
“I orginally selected this route,”
he said, continuing his comments,
‘ because of the large possibilities
in agriculture which I re-cognized,
j All Alaskans in those days fav
ored the route through the Cop
j per river valley which is above
the altitude of timber and agri
cultural growth. Time has been
our friend.
“Again in the hearings before
the House and Senate committees
on the Alaska railroad bills in
1913, I stressed the agricultural,
dairying and horticultural possi
bilities and opportunities along
the route from Resurrection bay
thru the Susitna valley to the
Tanana, as welL as the coal and
other mineral resources, in my
efforts to prevent the favorable
recommendation of the war de

“Of course it is gratifying to
see here in Anchorage and in all
other towns along the Alaska
railroad such answers as they
are giving to the skeptics, in theri
beautiful and prolific gardens
and berry patches, and in the
well kept lawns.
“I entertain not the slightest
doubt that the Susitna valley and
jthe Kenai peninsula are capable
of supporting on the soil as
many millions of people as there
are in Sweden. These sections
have a better all year climate
| than any of the northern tier
of states in the United States,
and the thousands of tourists
who are annually coming here
from all parts of the continent
are gradually doing their part in
spreading the real truth about
Alaska and its possibilities.’’
