ALASKA WILL NOT
BE HURT, SAYS
SEN. B. HOWARD
INTERVIEWS CONGRESSMAN A. M.
FREE WHILE IN WASHING
TON, MUCH IMPRESSED
ALSO TALKS TO REP. TREADWAY
General Intent at Washington Is to
Assist Rather than Hinder the
Development of Territory
“I have been East on business rela
tive to coal and to the development
of Alaska in general,” said Senator
Bartley Howard, during a brief inter
view Saturday with the legislator
upon his arrival in Seward from
Washington, D. C., where he has been
for the greater portion of the past
two months.
“I talked to many Congressmen,”
continued Mr. Howard, “and endeavor
ed to give them such information as
might cause them to be more favor
able to the Alaska appropriation. Aft
er going into the situation thoroughly
I was informed by a number of con
gressmen that Alaska would not.be
hurt, but that the final results would
be favorable instead of the prevailing
feeling against the appropriations. I
also enjoyed quite an interview with
Congressman Free of California, and
he expressed himself in favor of any
thing constructive for the Territory,
or for the best interests of Alaska.
I also talked to Congressman
Treadway of Boston and while he said
he was not altogether in harmony
with the Alaska appropriation, I was
convinced that Congressman Tread
way of Boston and while he said he
was not altogether in harmony with
the Alaska appropriation, I was con
vinced that when the Congressman
was made familiar with Alaskan con
ditions, he would be more favorable
to them. From information obtained
and judging from the disposition of
the people at Washington, I am cer
tain the Alaska appropriations would
not be cut to any great extent, if any
at all.
The general intent; of the various
departments at Washington is to help
Alaska and to work out some wray to
develop its resources and to create
tonnage for the railroad. Those I
talked with were more than anvious
to absorb as much knowledge as pos
sible. My visit was most cordial and
I was treated with all the courtesy
anyone could have wished for.”
Mr. Howard visited a few days in
New York, and upon his return to
Seattle spent the Holidays with his
family who are now making the Spirit
City their home, while his daughter
Ophelia is studying Spanish, English
and music at the University of Wash
ington. Mrs. Howard and Ophelia will
remain in Seattle for the winter, at
least, and next spring leave for Ken
tucky to visit relatives. Miss How
ard informed her “Dad” that she
would much prefer returning North
and spend the summer with him at
Moose Creek.
MMr. Howard departed yesterday
morning for Moose Creek, the home
affice of the Alaska Matanuska Coal
Company, better known as the How
ard-Jesson property.
