ULTIMATE DESTINY
THIS IS OPINION OF COLONEL J.
G. STEESE, BASED ON SENTI
MENT IN WASHINGTON
The ultimate destiny of the Alaska
Railroad is a corporation owned by
the Federal government something af
ter the Panama Canal transportation
system, carrying all of the powers of
a private organization and subject to
all rules and regulations applying to
like enterprises privately owned, is
the opinion of Col. J. G. Steese as ex
pressed in reply to a question of Mayor
I.. V. Ray at the Council meeting Tues- j
f
day evening.
The question was put in connection j
j with tlie matter of whether or not,
[Seward was entitled to 10 cents per
l
I ton for commercial freight passing ;
j 'ver the government dock.
Once the railroad is placed in a cor-1
poration, said Colonel Steese, the j
rule, such as applies at all other docks
occupying a similar position, will be j
applicable in Seward.
The matter of incorporating the
railroad has already been discussed in
Washington, said Colonel Steese,
among those favoring the plan being
Rep. Madden of Illinois.
In fact at the time that Col. Lee H.
i
Landis was sent to Alaska to manage
the railroad the matter of incorpora
tion was under consideration, and
but for Landis vacating the post pos-,
siblv would have ensued.
The question of Seward’s rights in
the matter has been discussed on sev
eral occasions, in the hope that the
tonnage rule would be applicable at
the present t me and retroactive for
a number of years during which time
many thousands of tons of local com
mercial freight have passed over the
dock.
The failure to adjust the matter or
settle it finally rested with Colonel :
Frederick Mears, who diverted the
revenue to the railroad which has re- I
ceived it ever since.
LOUIS BELL WRENCHES LIMB
It is reported Louis Dell, resident I
of Riddiford, had the misfortune re-!
centlv to severely wrench a limb
while engaged in clearing land for
his fox ranch. The accident was so
severe that his limb turned black
and blue and though it oecured some
days ago he is still confined home.
