Cincinnati Paper
I ells of Benefits
of Alaska Road
(Cincinnati Enquirer)
With our attention directed con
stantly to conditions of foreign coun
tries and to the older sections of our
own country, it is still very intere-t
ing to turn occasionally an eye to
ward our comparatively new and very
promising territory’ of Alaska, the
latest from which, according to the
Anchorage Times, gives the surpris
ing and cheering news that the por
tion of the government railroad from
that important center of the building
of it to the great Matanuska coal
fields will be in operation this month.
Certainly the government engineers
are justifying Frank Carpenter’s en
conium of them, in which he remark
ed the absence of red tape in their op
erations, after calling attention to the
fact that among them are men who
have helped to build some of the great
railroads of our west, as well as that
kind of work in Panama.
There has certainly been no unne- |
cessary delay in this work on rail
roads in Alaska, which was not au- i
thorized until March 11, 11)14. Under
the act of congress the roads were
not to exceed 1.000 miles and the cost j
$35,000,000. This includes the pur
chase of the Alaska Northern, of 35 ;
miles, for $1,125,000. The distance to
Fairbanks, the northern terminus, on
the Tanana river, is 472 miles. There
are in all 500 miles contemplated at
present, including the branch to the
Matanuska coal fields, which will be -
opened from Anchorage this month— j
as early as the loth has been predict- ;
D(l.
In addition to the good news from j
the south of Alaska we have assur- ■
inces that before next winter shall :
dock work for some months there will :
ae rail connection, private and gov- j
jmmental, out of Fairbanks to the =
Fanana coal and gold fields.
Thus, long before there shall be '
lirect communication along the 472 ;
niU’s between Seward and Fairbanks, ■
;here will be supplies of coal on the 5
locks at Anchorage, Seward and F.\ - :
ranks. The greatest need of Alaska ;
s coal at the furnace door. The coal ;
>f this territory lies in vast deposits jj
•eady to be mined as soon as there i
shall be transportation for it. This ,
secured, Alaska will advance with jj
rt'eat leaps. Then will be possible ‘
nuch more and cheaper transporta- §
ion along the great rivers Yukon ;
ind Tanana. The great expense of r
vood for fuel, for steamers on the riv- a
srs, for heat for homes and hothouses c
ind for work in gold mining will then j
five place to the cheaper and more ef- *
ective combustion of coal. The north <
>f Alaska and the Canadian Yukon
country from Bering sea to Dawson
vill thrill in response to the new life f
rom this fuel. There will be a great <
•evival and increase of business on ,
he Tanana. There will be a great <
slightening of Alaska’s prospects.
