Washington, Aug. 22.--Senator

Of government ownership of the rail
roads In Alaska and the governmental
control OF the natural resources OF
that rich territory. In the course OF
his remarks he referred to a bill
which he introduced four years ago
providing for the leasing of all min.
eral rights In the United States. al
though the measure was intended to
be applicable more especially to
Alaska
"The sensible and practical thing
to do." he said, "is to create a board
Of public works for Alaska. to be ap-
pointed by the president and con-
frmed by the senate. similar to the
isthmian canal commission. This
board OF public works should then un-
dertake. not merely to build a rail
road from Controller bay to the coal
fields. but 1t should acquire all OF
the railroads in Alaska and settle at
once the policy of governmental own
ership. 1t should similarly provide
for the development of her public util.
