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 pe'.itions 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

I will sell you any lot in Chitina not already soldj 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
