i his auska a a bill favored
The Washington Times o the is
sue of Apill 14 prints nn article on
the "Alaska National Railways" in
which the nam? of Dolegate Wick
ersham appears prominently In con
nection with tho Introduction of tho
bill (or the construction of Alaska
railroads. From It wo take tho fol
lowing extracts:
"WooUrow Wilson, Presidont of
the Unitod States, ex officio bulldor,
Koneral managor and oporutor of the
National railroads of Alaska."
That's a now title that seoms very
likely to l*o conferred, along with
the functions It impllos, upon the
Chief Exeoutlvo ot tho United Statos
Ftanklin Lane, Socrotary of the
Interior, comploted his report on the
latest ralh-oad construction bill for
Alaska. It will then bo taken up by
tho Senato Committee 011 Territor
ies, whose mombors are favorablo to
the measure, and reported. Its
passage at tho presont or the next
session of Congress Is now regarded
as almost assured.
This legislation will represent a
new departure for tbo Foderal Gov
ernment. It means Government
construction, ownership and opera
tion of a great railway systbm for
Alaska, under the namo of the "Al
aska National Railways."
Straws have been giving Indication
of tho wind's direction lately. Soc
rotary Lane has had long confer
ences with his Immediate predeces
sor, Waller L. Fisher, at which It
Is understood tho Government rail
way project for Alaska was discus
sed. Mr. Fisher strongly recom
mended that the Government build
i.n operate theso roads. It was In
deed a favorite project with him.
Following this, formor secretary
James R. Garfield came to town,
mid spent a good deal of time with
Secretary ;?ane. Sir. Garfield Is nl
*.o In favor of Government railroads
for Alaska. Mr. Lane has boon an
xious to know just as much as pos
sible about tho detailed, practical
facts surrounding Alaskan develop
ment. That ho has gono to these
sources for advlco Is takou' to Indi
cate that ho will press for tho gov
ernment project just as vigorously
as Secretary Fisher would have done,
had ho remained in powor.
Tho legislation looking to Initia
tion of this plau was drafted by Del
egate James Wlckersham, of Alas
ka. Mr. Wlckersham 1b at lost
come Into his own. Under the Taft
regime he was in bad odor with tho
t'jcecutive authority. Secretary Bul
llnger and tho Alaska delogato fore
closed their relations early In the
former's regime; and about that
samo tlmo tho White Houso doors
were barred against Mr. Wlcker
sham. who didn't go near tho place
for tho last two or three yenrs that
Taft was President.
Anything that Wlckersham waul
ed was ccrtaln to be classed with an
athema by. tho Whit? House. Wlck
ersham fought against Guggenheim
control unceasingly, and desplto tho
handicaps ot tho Administration's
friendship for tho Guggenheims, he
gained a strong hold on the confid
ence of Congress. With the change
of. Administration, Wlckersham finds
himself sought by the peoplo who
will be charged with tho adminis
tration of Alaska, and his loglsla-;
tlon Is being taken up by the au
thorities and pushed.
The Wlckersham bill has boon
Introduced in tho Senate by Mr.
Chamberlain of Oregon. If It pass
es, it will, lu brlof:
Opon to settlement about ou.vuu
000 acros of agricultural and graz
ing land.
Mako room in Alaska, and mako
settlement possibly by all the emi
grants this country Is now losing an
nually to Canada ? last year about
140,000.
Supply coal for our Pacific coast,
including tfce naval needs. Thero
has long Icon tendoncy to sorlous
shortage throughout this region and
frequent recurrence of famine prices
immensely lncreaso the output of
Alaska goH. Those most familiar
with tho country think that the out
put would be trebled In a short
time, because it would make sup
plies and living so much cheaper
t>an vast dpeoslts which now cannot
be worked profitably, would becoino
highly renumoratlv.o
It is declared that Norway, Sweden
Finland, on two-thirds tho area
that this railroad system would maki
available in Alaska, and with the
same climate, maintain 12,500,000
population, and 14,500,000 head of
livestock; produce annually 150,000
000 bushels of wheat; rye, oats and
barley; and show soil products worth
S-'CO,009,000 a year. Alaska Is do
rlarod capable of doubling this.
Th?? WlcVorsnam Chamberlain bill
places in tho hands of tho President
the whole responsibility for devel
opment of tho Alaska railroad sys
tev. lie would Iibvo tbo subject of
routos, otc., Investigated, and thon
by executive ordor would decide
where the roads woro to be located.
Tho purpose Is to build not 'more
than 733 miles of standard gauge
roads at this timo, to connoct the
upper navigablo wators of tho Yukon'
.md Tanana rlvora wllh tho warm
and ooeii harbors o tho Pacific
coast cf Alaska.
Bonds up to $35,000,000 may bo
sstiod to pay for tho roads; and
th. wo bonO.-, are to bo amortised
through a redemption fund, to
which wll! go 00 per cent of re
' pts for halo, disposal or leaao of
coa! agricultural or oilier public
lunds or their contosts.
Tho point In which rollanco is
placed Is (hat the ultimate complete
responsibl'ity for the entire oper
ation Ik vested in tbo President. No
commission, unless designated by
him in hi.-* discretion, will havo any
thing to do with it. The responsi
bility will bo with him. All the Al
aska Interests seemed able to agree
on thlB, and on no other plan.
