ARE IN FAVOR

Large Railroad Systems En-,
dOrse Levee Movement.
GEORGE j. GOULD'S LETTER,
They Feel the Need Of Better Perfection for the
Devcl opment Of the Valley and viii Aid
in Securing Government Control

1t is commonly accepted belief
that the great railroad systems of the
country are hostile to the imrovement
of the interior waterways. There is,
probably, truth in the idea as such
hostility would simply be manifes-
tation of human nature. But the le-
wee feature Of the lower river i'm
provement is an exception to the
rule-herc there comes in a more
powerful incentive Of favor. This
has been manifest in the active sup
port of the Illinois Central, and other
roads with trackage in thes lands sub
ject to overflow. The force is one
that grows. with the growth of rail-
road construction. The very large
extension of the Gould system pro-
misses to give the levee builders as
powerful ooadjutator wost of the
river as the l. @. is on the east.
Approaching this at its value, the
following letter is published in The
Herald W t h much qualification.

the coffee the Porto Rica can grow

although public men here never
had the slightest apprehension that
we should lore our case before the
Alaskan Boundary Commission, they
hardly believe that we should win it.
Inc commission was composed of
three Americans, two Canadians and
one Englishman. and unless either
SIDE convinced at least one member of
the other there would be no decision
and the question would lemain to
irrltate the relations Of this country
with Great Britain. Lord Alyer-
stone, the British commissioner, be-
came convinced of the validity of the
greater part of our claim and thus
decision was rendered which gave the
United States nearly all the territory
in dispute. The refusal of the Cana.
dian Commissioners to sign the award
Will not have the slightest effect upon
the decision, which is final. The
boundary line decided upon runs East
of all the bays, inlets, or other means
of access to the sea. from the Port
land canal Northward to Mount st.
Elias. The Portland Canal is given
to Canada as are also the two largest
Of the four islands at it's mouth. The
two islands retained by the United
States, Sitlian and Kannhaghunut,
are the farthest outward and are of
great strategic value, as they COM
mand an entrance to the canal, and
also Port Simpson which is to be the
terminus Of the proposed transconti-
mental railroad One of the most i'm
portant questions in dispute was the
ownership Of the Lynn Canal which
is the main entrance to the Klondike
regions and at the head of which are
the towns of Dyea and Skag-
way. This entire territory is given to
the United States, and Canada is thus
shut off from the sea by complete
land barrier. The Canadians resent
the award bitterly and do not hesitate
TO impugn the sincerity Of Lord AL
verstone and Of the British govern
nent. They claim that Canada's in
5erests have been sacrificed to diplo-
natic expedient, ana that the mother
country has demonstrated that She
values the friendship Of the United
States above the good will OF her first
colony. It is interesting IN this con-
,ection to recall that when the Amerl-
IAN commissioners we're chosen, the
canadians objected to them on the
ground that they we're not ]urists OF
epute; yet the deciding vote against
he Canadians claim was cast by the
4old Chief Justice of England, the
me man in all England whose I'M
,artiality should be unquestioned.
