II LEASE M
CABLE
If the government would allow him,
Falcon Joslin. the well-known railroad
man of Fairbanks, would lease the
Alaska military cable and telegraph
system, according to an announce
ment made by him the other day to a
representative of the Times. In leas
ing the system, he would also give the
assurance that the through message
rates from the States would be less
expensive to the public. At the same
time, he would save the government
the annual deficit of approximately
$150,000. About two years ago, the
railroad man offered to take over the
government lines, but the war depart
ment would not approve of such a
‘step; but Mr. Joslin is now of the
| opinion that, if the people of the
North backed him with their moral
support, that he could induce Uncle
Sam to grant the lease.
According to a statement Issued last
spring by the secretary of war and by
the chief signal officer of the army,
the average deficit for the mainten
ance of the Alaska military cable and
telegraph system is $150,000, to say
nothing of the drain and hardship onj
the signal corps of the United States!
army, which is compelled to seud Its
men North, when they could be used
to advantage in their companies in thej
States. Mr. Joslin now argues that If
the government leased him the lines'
■ for no more than $1 per year, it would ■
then save $150,000 and thu services
of all its men.
Facta and Figures.
In his letter, denying the recom
mendation of reduction in the tele
graph tolls of Alaska, the secretary
of war sets forth some facts and
figures, given him by the chief signal
officer of the army, which are inter
' eating, in that they show a great un
| familiarity with the actual conditons
of the system.
The principal reason given for not
^ cutting the rates is the big deficit.
' | Then the cost of tolls over the Can
i adian line and those of the United
| States line are compared. The fact
' is cited that it costs but $2.80 to send
a telegram from Seattle to Eagle over
the government line, while it costs
’ $3.70 to send the same message from
Seattle to Eagle over the Canadian
route. The figures are true and it is
certain that the people of Eagle secure
I ■—
better treatment over the government
lines and is now ready to make nn
the argument of the department
shows the Injustice worked upon Falr
banksans, in comparison.
Thorughout Alaska there are other
instances of this kind, which tend to
show that the positions and conditions
in the North are not thoroughly un
derstood by those in charge in Wash
ington.
Mr. Joslln says that if the govern
ment would lease the line to him, he
could cut all cable rates materially.
He would Install more wireless plants
and do away with the heavy expense
and malntanance, which the govern
ment is compelled to stand now. He
has made his try to get hold of the
lines and le now ready to make an
other attempt, provided the people of
the North will give their moral sup
port.
If the government will not lease the
lines to him, he would like them to
purchase the wireless plants which he
has in operation now owned by Mr.
Joslln cost approximately $40,00, and
he would sell them to the government
at much smaller figure if they will
not lease their lines.—Fairbanks
