iest town in the northland, and |the
native resources which are responsible
for its existence.

ember 4, 1919, at the post! office at

March 8, 1879.

OF INTEREST TO ALASKANS
If there is any way in which Al
askans can help the citizens of
Stewart to obtain a railroad from
that town through the Groundhog
coal fields to Peace river and east
ern Canada, they should give their
whole-hearted support. Hyder is
particularly interested, for what
ever helps Stewart is bound to help
this town.
But there is one way in which
the construction of this road would
help the whole of Alaska, in that
it would be of inestimable value to
the fishing industry, and this point1
was clearly brought forward re
cently by the Portland Canal News
which said editorially:
"_for the much talked of Jones
Shipping Bill provides that Ames
ican freight, from an American
port, destined foi points in the
United States, must be shipped in
American bottoms to an American
port This necessitates, in order to
get to a railroad, the shipping ef
the whale of the Alaskan fish catch
right past the three existing Can
adian railway terminals to the port
of Seattle; whereas if a railway
were built with its terminals in
Stewart, a railroad could be
established in the American
port of Hyder, and so, comply
ing with the Jones Shipping
Bill, obtain the whole of these
Alaskan shipments to the feast.
Comment Is unnecessary on sav
ing three days needed to transport
Ash to Seattle which are destined
for the eastern market.
