olcANTIo RAILROAD DREAM.

A company of American, French
and Russian capitalists have forward
ed a petition to Secretary Hitchcock
asking approval OF a railway to be
routed across Alaska and Bering sea
to Siberia, to make and all-rail route
from America to Asia.
The project on paper is tremsn-
dous. It contemplates no less q feat
than the tunneling of Boring strait,
from the farthest east point OF Siberia
to Cape Prince OF Wales, the farthest
west Point Of Alaska; and then the
building OF q railroad through Central
Alaska to the British line-in all a
distance Of some 800 miles.
The tunnel is to be- Ia tao divisions
from Alaska to Diomede leland, and
from the island to Siberia. The dis
lance is roughly stated at sixty-h Ave
milesl 1t is to be under the bottom
of the Q We suppose much Of
the railroad on land will have to be In
tunnels also, or boxed over. In that
far north it will be difficult TO keep an
exposed road clear Of ice and snow.
The road does not seem to be plan
ned to build up existing properties In
Alaska. As with Russian railways, It
will run In nearly q straight line. Il
viii leave Circle City 100 miles to the
nOrthward, and sven Dawson City
hfty miles to the northward.
Nothing is said Of getting q cOnnec-
ton ct the ends with established sys-
TENS Of railways on either continent,
and this problem is not the least to be
considered. From the point In Siberia
where the tunnel ends, to the nearest
railway (at Port Arthur ia Russian
territory, is as far as from Cape Prince
Of Wales, Alaska, to Los Angeles,
California. That is something of q
gap In the international railway. Per-
haps the reason the promoters do not
say how It Is TO be filled is because
they do not know. The who'd scheme
is q fairy tale, probably.
