WHAT CAN HAPPEN
If, as suggested by William Sulzer, The Alaska
Railroad was extended approximately 155 miles into
the White River copper fields, within a few years af
ter its completion The Alaska Railroad would be pay
ing handsome dividends into the public treasury.
This enterprise would mean the utilization of
Matanuska coke for smelting purposes, adding anoth
er great volume of revenue to the railroad. It would
permit of the development of the great anthracite
beds, tapped by the White River extension. There is a
demand for some fifteen million dollars worth of this
coal, as represented in the Pocahontas coal now being
shipped into the Pacific Coast States. California wants
ten thousands tons of this coal per day. This would
make approximately 90 miles of the coal line earn $3,
650,000 per annum. In the process it would rejuvenate
18 miles of rail line now practically scrapped, or that
portion between the Jonesville branch and Chickaloon.
Now add to thia» the accruing revenue on incoming
commodities necessary to maintain the army of men
required in these industries.
Go further and estimate the revenue from mine
tonnage to a smelter, and add the same incoming vol
ume, plus the wealth created and vailable to the dwell
ers of the Railroad zone!
Where would Senator Howell’s 4,000 governmen
tally sustained individuals be? They would disappear.
But there are interests prepared to fight against
this transference of industry, and Congressmen who
are amenable to their suasion or influence.
Maybe if this presentation of the situation could
penetrate the minds of the voters of the United States,
carrying with it the opportunity for employment and
success, the administration would not be compelled to
.supply artificial respiration to that prosperity bubble
now disintegrating through the puncture of false eco
nomic theories.

AT ENTERTAINMENT AND
EATS,
Christensen was a wow last night
demonstrating the musical adapta
bilities of tablespoons and sand
paper with his rendition of The
Lost Chord, while Pontius Pilate,
alias Capt. Ansell, with his enter
pretation of the Swan Dance, was a
huge success.
Colman, Kay, Stanchfield and
Lanning twanged appreciated har
jmonies from their stringed in
struments and Coleman brought
down the house with “Red Hot
Poppa” and other blues songs. One
i of the harmony boys, accompanied
on the guitar and ukelele by the
Colman-Meredith ensemble, brot
itears of mirth to the eyes of all
present. Crusher Downes, over
come by festive spirits, and wearing
his best Sunday hat, sprang into
ithe arena and enterpreted with
agile feet the Spring Song, the
dance of the Seven Veils and the
Stumbler’s Waltz.
During this period eats and cof
fee were served by Commissary
Stewards Garnett and Dykstra
from the Destroyers. Five gallon
coffee pots lined one edge of the
ring from post to post and large
containers of sandwiches were
placed within easy reach of the
crowd. In addition, the sailors as
sumed the parts of waiters under
the guidance of the head usher, D.
E. Price, and served those unable
to reach the ring. The eats, the
ladies, who are best fitted to judge,
report were delicious and Commis
sary Stewards Garnett and Dyk
stra, of the Wasmuth and Perry re
spectively, are deserving of much
credit towards making the even
ing’s entertainment the huge suc
cess all are agreed it was
One of our most prominent citi
zens, expressing himself after the
Smoker last night, said, “I have
never enjoyed myself more in the
i 20 years I’ve lived in Alaska”, and
that was the general consensus of
! opinion.
