\TO THE
CITIZENS of CHITINA
Alaska is on the eve of great development.
The Railroad Commission has reported favorably, on extend,
ing the line from Chitina to Fairbanks.
Ux-President Taft has recommended favorable action by
Congress.
The New York Legislature, realizing the great injustice done
Alaska in the past ten years by withdrawing all Its natural re
sources> and thus stopping railroad building has unanimously
passed a resolution, endorsing the Railroad Commission report;
Calling on President Wilson to make Alaska Legislation a special
feature of his message to the special Congress called for April 1st.
The first act passed by the Alaska Legislature was in the form
of a memorial to Congress and the President asking that Railroad
construction be begun at once in accord with the Railroad Com
missions report, and that our Coal be opened for use.
Every town Council, and every Chamber of Commerce in
Alaska has sent wires and petitions to the President and Congress
to the same effect.
The cities of Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, San Francisco—and
a great many others as far East as Denver, Colorado—have joined
in the good work and are bringing all the pressure in their power
to bear.
Senator Chamberlain of Oregon has prepared a bill in line
with the Commission’s report to be introduced at the Special
Session to convene April 1st.
Is there any one that doubts that something will be accom
plished, and that soon?
If so, she or he had better quit looking at the hole in the
doughnut and look at the doughnut awhile. If you keep on look
ing at that hole you will loose your chance—for here is a chance
that you will never have again in this section of the country.
I will sell you any lot in Chitina not already sold, up to
April 1st, 1913, for 100 per cent less than you can buy it 6
months from now.
The price of all lots has been reduced in order to give all a
chance. They run from $40 up to $1000.
The terms will be 14 cash, and the balance in six, twelve and
eighteen months.
