FULL -— BOTTLED IN BOND
QUART Has Had no Peers for Fifty Years
, _ SOLD BY ALL DEALERS
TITLE MUST BE
I
The Valdez I’roHpeetor Is authority
for the statement that Secretary of
the Interior, Franklin K. Lane, has
notified the owners of the Alaska
Northern railroad, which Is construct
ed from Seward, that unions they come
to some agreement regarding the own
ership of the railroad and are ready
to show by June 1st that the title is
clear, the government will cancel its
contract for the purchase of the road
for *1,160,000.
The above news was received from
Seattle, and when shown by the Val
dez paper to Col. Swanltz, he out
lined the conditions of the sale of
the road to the government as fol
lows:
"The preferred claims total *1,000,
000 and the associated banks, head
ed by the Toronto bank, own but
*460,000 worth of the claims, with
*240,000 now held by O. O. Labaree,
the former receiver of the Alaska Cen
tral, and *100,000 held by W. J. Bo
land the attorney who made the deal
with Secretary Lane. These claims
are all to be paid before the bond
holders secure any money for the
money they advanced to the road and
to carry on the receivership which
gave the Alaska Northern the rail
road. The associated banks have
agreed with the government to give
title on July 15, when they are to re
ceive *600,000 as a first payment, but
they cannot make the deal with the
outstanding preferred claims, nor can
they convince the bondholders that
the small part of the total, or the
*150,000 which the bondholders are
to get, is enough for the **,000,000
advanced by them many years ago and
o nwhich they have never received
any returns. The Toronto banking
syndicate have put up a bond of *500,
000 to guarantee title to the govern
ment.’’
Suits ha e already been started by
bondholders to have the first receiver
ship set aside and the Alaska Central
case reopened. The salt for the
townsite also complicates the situa
tion and may result in the building
of the government road from An
chorage to Matanuska and the interior,
with Anchorage as the coawt terminal.

nun commission
FUNDS HOE LIMITED
Only some half a million dollars
now remains at the disposal of the
government Alaska railroad commis
sion and no more will be available
until the first of July, according to
authority which is unquestionable.
The commission had something like
one mlllon of which it could dispose
when the announcement of the termin
al was made. Half a million of that
amount has already been UHed in buy
ing equipment, etc. and the other half
a million is the amount now being
used at Woodrow creek and elsewhere.
The remaining two million, as stated,
will be at the disposal of the com
mission on the first of July and then
will the greater operations begin, It
is now known that the attorney gen
eral only gave it as his opinion that
the full thlty-five millions given by
congress can only be used to bind
contracts and that amount cannot be
used in cash. Therefore, after the
spending of the money available this
summer further permission must be
obtained from congress to tap the IT.

REPAIRS BE MARE
(From the Seward C.ateway)
A small amount of work at least
will be started on the Alaska North
rti Immediately to prepare It for the
running of either the gasoline cars or
some heavier- rolling stock. The
staff to be engaged in the work con
sists of W. J. H. Fogetstroin, Benja
jamin 1,. Campbell, ltonald McDonald,
and It. N. Moyer. Mr. Fogelstrom
was In charge of the bridge inspection
work for the railroad commission last
year and is well known in Seward,
lie is in charge of the whole work to
lie done along this road now, while
Mr. Campbell will be in charge of
the field work. The amount of work
to be accompished at present on the
Alaska Northern is very small but
enough to show that the government
means business In this part of the
district.
At 4 o'cock Friday morning the Unit
ed States government began the act
ual work preparatory to the construc
tion work of the great Alaska rail
road from Seward, the ocean termi
nus.
At that time the bridge engineers
started to examine the piles of the
wharf while the tide was at Its low
est. The intention is to find out the
real condition of the piling. The ex
amination so far as it has proceeded
is said to have shown that the piling
is In fairly good condition in the main
part of the dock, but it Is well known
that piles have often oeen found to
be solid al the way down to within a
foot of the sea bottom where the to
redoes often concentrate for their
work of destruction. It is understood
to be the intention of the commosBion
through Mr. Fogelstrom, to put in any
piling that may be necessary as the
government will need the wharf for
its activities. The full story of the
intentions with respect to the work
in and around Seward will probably
not be known until the arrival of
Chairman Eded.
