Falcon joalin. who recently passe
through Skagwav on his war home
to Fairbanks, has arrived home and
given out a statement to the news
papers of the Interior ???egnrdlng his
attempts to secure railroad legisla
tion for the north Part of his re
marks follow:
"I hoped to see the work advance
by congrwes further this year than it
was, hut am pleased that we have ac
coinplished as much as we have. I
wanted to see the appropriation wad
for the building of at least a thous
and miles of railway in Alaska by
I'ncie Sam However, we succeeded
in retting tacked to the Alaskan
nome rule bill a claase which pro
vides for a raMMhi to come
North this season to malt* thorourh
inquiries into the proposed raW?r*y
construction The clnaup ptortdes
that the chief of the federal geologi
cal survey for Alaska shall be the
chairman of the board That means
l?r Alfred Brook*, the moat compe
tent and satisfactory man In Alaska
He as the confidence of all AlaS
kan* as well as the govemawmt. and
a I read * poswM.n a vast fund of in
formation on Alaska The commis
sion. we hope, will enable ws throagh
its report to get th? appropriation
through congrsas text season How
ever. the next sosak?n will be a short
one. but we shall keep baay
"1 understand one route has been
favored by some of the federal offi
cial and that Seaard has been pre
ferred Seward Is a good port, but
there are two or three others on the
Alaskan coast just as good, and I
want to nee them all served My
scheme is to have the government
build not on? tine, but a system
which will serve Alaska ia ever?
quarter All these ports then ran
be of great service to the Territory
Kach has great resources back of it
All sections can bo opened
I believe that wtth rail war* trots
the several porta a groat influx will
take place into Alaska. The north
ern part alone, that la. the Tanaas
roaatry and all that region beyond,
nhoald gaia more Uwu# pop
ulation the next too year*
"The I'aitod States Is now la a
good position to move forward with
the railway project ia Alaska It
has railway equipment and the orga
nisation at Panama which wilt not he
needed after a short time Much of
it already is being cast aside and
roold he on the way North
"If the railway system is built by
I'ncle Sam it will not hurt Yukon.
On the other hand, it will help that
territory If I'ncle Sam makes Al
aska a hi*, prosperous Territory, the
prosperity cannot but help flow oTer
the border and aid the resources of
that territory. The travel alone
would be a rast itera. The Yukon
river will be the jcremt scenic route
of the future, and people will pour
down this rim by the thousands
"Fairbanks wants, and should
have an open port It will help the
*h?lf country."
