The Government r«ilroad is now
practically completed from Seward
to Fairbanks, and within a short
period will be in readiness to be
operated for the benefit of the in
dustries of the Northland that have
long langished under the blight of
excessive freight rates, and for the
long-retarded development of the
country's vast and varied resources.
Alaskans have grown to look upon
the completed road as th; rer.Isza
tion of a long-cherished dream that
will bring prosperin' and population
to the Northland. In the m ust of
this reverie comes ihe disheartening
news that Fetrvta-y hail favors
leasing the railroad after comple
tion, and “under suitable arrange
ments”. to private interests, for
operation. It would be a very hard
matter, in fact impossible, to con
vince Alaskans that a railroad oper
ated by private interests will do
much more than make all the money
possible at the expense of Alaska
and Alaskans, and there would be
no profit in low freight rates.
The building of the railroad was
the outcome of a long and bitterly
contested fight by Northerners
against what they regarded as ex
cessive freightage charges exacted
by private enterprises which domin
ated the trade routes and transpor
tation, and under the burden of
which mining and other industrie
slowly but surely succumbed.
There are no settled communities
or established industries now in the
country traversed by the Govern
ment railroad, of sufficient size and
importance to insure the profitable
operation of the railroad, and it
would be unreasonable to suppose
that any private interests would be
so philanthropic a-s to operate a
railroad without the assurance of
profit, large or small.
The News is of the opinion that
Alaska, at the present time, greatly
needs Government help to restore
the country to a normal producing
basis, and that the operation of the
railroad by the Government, at low
er rates than any corporation would
be willing to concede, is the only
way this can be done. Alaskans
know this, if Secretary Fall does
not, and they will vigorously oppose
any attempt that may be made to
turn the railroad over to private
interests for operation.
KANTISHNA MINERS ARRIVE
TO PURCHASE SUPPLIES
Making the long trip from Little
Moose Creek region, by way of the
f'hitsia and cutoff trail, Charles
Christensen, Frank Weisel, Alois
Kim and Eudy Lambert, mining men
of the Kantishna country, arrived
in town yesterday afternoon.
They are here for the purpose of
replenishing supplies and probably
will leave for their respective homes
on Little Moose after a brief stay
in town. They made the trip with
dog teams and report the trail in
good condition.
George Duncan came in later in
the evening with the mail, as also
did George Dunbar, who recently
went into the Kantishna with J. B.
Blick, manager of the Mt. McKin
ley Gold Placers.
