Now At Veronia, Oregon
Mr. Free Could Learn Little of the
Territory During His Brief Trip
North. Dr. Wight Stated.
In a recent edition of the Morning

submitted by Dr. C. J. Wight, who
was engaged in business in Seward
until about a month ago, relative to
the visit to Alaska by Congiessman
A. M. Free. The article follows:
VERONIA, Or., Sept. 6.—(To the
Editor.)—In the Orgonian August
31 we read of the suggestion by
Congressman A. M. Free of Califor
nia to abandon the Alaska Railroad,
and John E. Ballaine September 1
■mentions Mr. Free spent several
months investigating in the north
land.
It gives the impression that Mr.

the railway, while in truth he wa3
not over two weeks or less, as I saw
the gentleman arrive at Seward.
Now how can anyone determine the
merits of a railway in such a short
time. Would you like someone to
visit your western state and in tea
days tell you where you were all
wrong.
Picture Alaska as one-fifth the size
of the United States and a man tra
vels this railway 465 miles and then
he knows all about the country—
and this being his first trip north!
Alaska is broader and richer in
mining and agricultural possibilities
than the states’ citizen can compre
hend. A large area never gets down
to zero weather, many miles never
colder than 8 above zero.
The railway in question is man
aged by the mo3t competent men
to be found in railroading and it!
will become self-supporting as quick
as any road in the states. The rev
enue is increasing with the Fair-1
banks development and local mining
along the right of way.
Alaskans are satisfied with Alas
Ka, Dut mey ao get tired of poli
ticians’ meddling into affairs that
do not concern the outsider. Every
summer some Washington mahog
any chair holders get free tickets
to Alaska and spend so much time
in starched shirts that they never j
get down to brass tacks, as it were, I
by putting on a hunting shirt and
outing shoes and mingling with the
crowd to learn all the ood qualities
of the gentlemen of the north and
their needs.
The Alaskan is a man of little
complaint. He is pioneering the
land as the pioneers of Oregon once
did and if you trace history you will
find our President Lincoln in his !
young political days was offered the
governorship of Oregon and refused
it because it was a wild and rugged |
west. Please let Alaska not have |
I any more politicians of the fault-!
nnaing Kina visit its snores, tor ttie
dear old pioneers of Alaska have
done so much for it to pass it now ;
on to the next generation for care
ful handling, but not bungling by
such as Mr. Free.

Visitors Seeking
Investments Leave
for Southern Home
i George E. Dismukes and wife, who
have been investigating certain Al
askan projects in this and the In
terior districts, with the view of be
coming financially interested, de
parted for the South yesterday morn
ing on the steamer Yukon.
While in the Interior, Mr. and
Mrs. Dismukes spent some time in
the McKinley National Park and re
turned quite enthused with the scen
ic grandeur, the wild game animals
viewed and the future possibilities
of the park as a mecca for tourists.
Mr. Dismukes is but one of many
who are agreed on the point that
the tourist crop of Alaska will even
tually exceed all other resources, pro
viding proper means are brought
about, wherein the Territory will re
ceive the proper advertising and
publicity.
