MAKING PROGRESS IN ALASKA.
Government Slowly Solving Problems
 of Transportation.

The great problem in Alaska is that of transportation. Every place of pres ent importance in southeastern Alas ka and southwestern Alaska is reached by steamer, and the government is slowly putting in the necessary light houses. The one railroad over the White pass is a convenient link with the upper Yukon and there are several lines in progress from the coast far ther northward to the lower Yukon valley. Outsiders have strange notions about Alaskan geography; a project was actually formed for building a railroad from Portland canal on the southern boundary Of Alaska to Skag- way, ignoring inlets which penetrate a hundred miles up into the mountains, and quite overlooking the vast gla- ciers which come down into the sea, over which no railroad could possibly be maintained The Guggenheim in- terests are building a road from Val deg northward to reach copper and other mines, and a rival company has constructed one mile of road out of Valdez and has one locomotive.
 If the Yukon valley prove to be available for settlers, some time a road will parallel the river and thus keep up the winter transit. At present the winter highways in that part of the world are trails traversed only by dog sledges.
