FALL SHOWS FRIENDSHIP
Notwithstanding the fact that Sec
retary Fall is opposed, on principle,
to Government ownership and oper
ation of transportation systems, he
is making an exception in the case
of Alaska, for not only has he ac
cepted the custodianship of The
Alaska Railroad but he is also using
his influence to widen the scope of
Government transportation activities
in the North.
Acting upon the suggestion of
Col. Mears, the Secretary recently
addressed the following letter to the
Secretary of War, relative to the
transfer of the army transports
General Jacobs and Genera! Davis
from the Wap department to the In
terior department:
“Following various recent ex
changes of letters with you and
conferences between the Director of
the Bureau of Mines of this Depare
ment and Colonels Dalton and Hor
ton, of he Quartermasters Depart
ment, 1 have pleasure in making
forma! request that there be trans
ferred from the War Department
to the Department of the Interior
for use of the Aiaskan Engineering
Commission the following marine
equipment now at Fort Gibbon in
Alaska: The Steamers General Davis
and General Jacobs, together with
three barges of 30 to-ton capacity
each, tw'o barges of 80-ton capacity,
and all supplementary marine equip
ment alt Fort Gibbon, including ma
rine ways, heavy- timbers, blocking,
winches, boilers, tools and re pair
equipment on hand such as valves,
hose, gaskets, dtc.
“It is understood that the Con
gress will be asked for special
authority to operate the boats in

! connection with the railway so as
■ to furnish transportation for Govern
men,t and commercial freight and
that the Department freight and
personnel is to be transported by
means of these boats at some nom
1 inal rate to be arranged. It is un
derstood further that during any
emergency requiring such action, the
boats and equipment are to be
placed at the disposal of the War
department for such use as it shail
determine.
‘‘In view of the fact that the
; General Davis requires to be calked
and launched and the whole equip
ment moved to Xenana before the
river freezes, within the month, in
order that the fleet may be refitted
> and reconditioned at the railway
I shops during the winter, and the
further fact that certain of the
equipment is needed now for trans
port of material in construction
l work now under way at Xenana, I
trust that I may have vour prompt
action”.
The fact that the General Davis
is now being prepared for launch
ing at Fort Gibbon and will soon
be on the ways at Xenana, together
with other army craflr, is evidence
that prompt action was obtained at
Washington from the War Depart
ment. Getting authority from Con
J gress to operate the buats in eon
' nection with the railroad doubtless
trill be accomplished during the win
ter without’ difficulty so that every
' filing will be in readiness for the
:naururation of the new service at
the opening of navigation nex;
i spring.
While there are those probably
who will censure President Harding
i for his refusal to approve the
! soldier bonus bill because of failure
' on the part of the lawmakers to
make provision for raising the funds
needed for the bonus payments,

deserving of commendation for the
! fearless stand he has taken in a

with Congress that ex-service men

bill was passed, is little short of a
