RAILROAD TO BERING RIVER ASSURED.
Although tli>‘ somite committee mi tt rritories passed a re
solution on May lit endorsing the cnnstmriion of a railroad
from Mile 38, on the Copper River & Northwestern railway, it!
was not until yesterday that a copy ot tin* resolution was re j
■ reived in Cordova and the retd significance of the action
realized.
The language of the resolution, which was introduced l»y
Senator Walsh and unanimously adopted b\ the whole oom-i
m it tee, is remarkable. There is no equivocation or heating!
about the hush. “The committee is impressed by representa- ,
tions made to it that the public interests require the speedy ■
construction of a railroad into the Bering coal field * *
That language certainly is clear and easily understood. It
means that the showing made hv the Cordova Chamber of
Commerce has been such that the whole senate committee on
territories is greatly impressed' by the advantages and neces
sities to the Bering coal field.
It is no use to hark hack to the selection by the railroad
commission of the Reward-Anchorage route to the Matanuska
liver coal field over that of tin* Cordova route to the Bering
river coal field. That is a matter of history, much of which
the public never heard, but the survey aiql placing of the coal ■
lands on the market in leasing blocks lias shown that in the
Bering river field there are sixty as compared with nineteen in
And vet tin* government now is engaged in spending $10,-]
000,000, all or most of which will he required 1<> place the coal i
of the Matanuska field at tidewater, while one tenth of that
sum would have been suI i icient to bui Id to the Bering coal field, j
and'the eosd now would have been on the market and available
for use by the I nited States navy.
In the letter from Secretary Ban • to Senator Key Pittman,
chairman of the committee on territories, the seeretaiy says:]
“Mv general opinion upon the matter is this:. That if private
capital cannot be induced to enter the field, government capital
should be used for the construction of such a road.”
Suivlv there i.-- no question as t<> what the secretary means
b those words. If he is sincere, it means that the government
will build the road, as no private capital can be induced to enter
the field.
The people of Cordova have reason to congratulate them
selves on the results of the effort made by the Cordova Cham
ber of Commerce, which has brought such quick action.
Of course these results wore obtainable only because the
v* presentations made weiHt logical and fair, and were consid
ered by men whose minds were open, and whose interest it is to
set- that government work in Alaska is carried on in a fair, just
and economical manner. In this connection ,it is only fair to
say that the interest taken in the matter by Hon. Key Pittman,
of Nevada, a former Northerner, was largely responsible for
the energetic action by the committee.

SEATTLE CARS FOR ALASKA.
Tlu- fact that the Seattle Car & Foundry Company supplies
the first large order for new equipment for the government
railroad being built in Alaska, is cause for general congratula
tion. It is the logical manner of purchasing such equipment,
as Seattle is the gateway to the north, and this city lies in the
center of the most productive and heavily timbered region of
the country. It was a pleasant and interesting sight to see
these cars being loaded on Seattle steamships for shipment to
the north during the month, as it was but another evidence of
ti e growth in Puget Sound manufacturing and an indication
of a new and prosperous trade revival. Seventy-six cars were
included in the first order, and these will undoubtedly be fob
lowed bv many more of the same class, as the new railroad will
need hundreds of such cars to complete its rolling stock equip
ment.—Railway Marine News.

While several papers of the north are engaged in a cam-j
paign against the treatment of the Alaskan insane patients at ;
tin- Morningside sanitarium, a forme;- patient, now at McNeils
Island, is using the machinery the courts in aif effort to
break back into the asylum. Either he is crazy or the papers
are wrong.
