Delegate Wickersham spent last
evening in town, on his return from a
trip to the westward. He visited |
Anchorage. Seward and Valdez and
was favorably impressed with the gov
ernment railroad construction from |
the former place. He will mak'e aj
fight at the coming session of Con-,
gress for an appropriation of $8,000,
000 with which to continue this work,
believing that it will ultimately prove
of great benefit to the entire territory.
"You may depend upon it that 1 will j
exert every effort to have Secretary j
of Interior l.ane promulgate a leasing
bill that will be workable and accept
able alike to capital and the public
generally,” said Delegate Wicker
sham. "1 realize that this fuel is
badly needed to develop the resources
of Alaska and I want to see it open
ed up and mined. Of course it is
going to require considerable money
to prepare the coal for market and for
that reason every reasonable induce
ment should be offered the men or
corporations who are willing to go
ahead and do this work. That the
•whole matter will be satisfactorily
arranged, I have no doubt, and when
it is there will be a new era of pros
perity felt throughout the territory.”

I LIEUT. IHS p
| In sponking of the railroad work
accomplished this year, Dleut. Mears, i
II of the Engineering Commission stated!
that very satisfactory progress had
been made In establishing a working,
base at Anchorage and on the road
S to the Matanuska coal fields, on which
it was the commission’s intention to
center all efforts this year. Detailed j
reports show that 34 miles of grade!
have been completed and steel is be-1
* ing laid at the rate of ahout half a
i mile a day, there being enough on
1 hand to complete the road through
to Matanuska junction.
"I note that there has been some
jealousy between Seward and Anchor
* Pge because of the greater activity
front that this year," said I.ientenant
Mears. "There Is no foundation for
such jealousy. The future of Seward
1 is assured. When this railroad is
.completed to Fairbanks there is no
doubt about where the people coming
into Alaska will land. They are not
going to stay on the boat 24 hours
longer to get off at Anchorage when
they can get off here and get there In
four hours. And people coming out
from the Interior on through trains
* are not going to get off at a junction
and ride down a spur track to An
! chorage when they can come through
to Seward and avoid 24 hours of sea
travel. Anchorage has It advantages j
j as well as Seward, but they do not I
conflict, and it is to Seward's ndvant-J
age to have just as many prosperous i
j towns along the line from here to!
Fairbanks as possible.”
