GFOIOGICAL SURVEY RE
 PuRTS ON AVAUABIE ROUTES

The mlI industrial development ol inland Alaska is possible only by constructing railways that will furnish transportation to open ports on the Pacific. Though Alaskans have long been clamoring for ade- ouata transportation facilities, the gene-al public outside of the Terri tory has only recently begun Co uu- dcrstand that the opening Of the mineral wealth and arable lands or this great empire Is a matter Of na- tional importance. Many plans have been proposed for building railways in Alaska either by public or by private enterprise, and various meas uros are now before Congress deal ing with this subject.
 Because of the general interest in this situation, a report issued by the United States Geological Survey entitled Railway Routes in Alas ka," by Alfred H Brooks Bulletin 520-An. has just been reprinted. This report briefly summarizes all the data available bearing on the location Of a railway which shall connect Fairbanks, on the Panama, with one Of the several possible coastal terminals on the Pacific sea board. The distance to tidewater by the several routes varies from. $50 to over 500 miles. Experienced engineers have estimated the aver age cost per mile of constructing this line at S4O.0OO.
 Any one Of the several proposed railways described in this report would render accessible the great resources of what has been termed central Alaska. a Quadrangular area Of about 100000 square miles eN- tending from the Pacific seabOard ro the Arctic Circle. Central AL aska has produced from it's placers gold Co the value Of S75,0OO,OOO, it's output in 1911 being over S9,OOO,-

NAY NAY Be &''fIPPE5 RIPPED OPEN S35E
TIMES JOINS PROSECUTOR BURNIEsTER REQUEST TO
JUDGE CHAPMAN TO HAVE ATTORNEY LOOK INTO COURT
HOUSE SCANDAL.

Deputy Prosecutor Burmeister this morning
stated that he would request Judge Chapman to
taken from Mike Crashules, Wilkeson MINER and his
wife, and would recommend that the attorney start
suit to compel Attorney r. L. Sheri to return part
OF the money.
Burmeister also stated that he would prosecute
Mrs. Crashules on the original charge of breaking
into all abandoned house. He said he would do this
against his better Judgment and at the urging Of
people in Wilkeson.
From the information in this office The Times
believes that this Crashues case is more than mat
ter of lawyers overcharge.
+. There are rumors a-plenty and indications
plenty that money was paid over to county officials
least three that The Times has heard about and is in
vestigating. There are men in Tacoma to whom one
of two men said to be connected with the Crashues
case boasted of the exploit.
Believing that the matter is more serious than
appears the surface, The Times supplements Bur-
meister's expected recommendation to Judge Chap
man, as follows:
That an attorney be named to look into the mat
ter who is not connected with nor recommended by
any county officials concerned
That he be an able, honest, fearless, aggressive
attorney. The Times could suggest half dozen
such.
to stop with getting part Of the $500 returned to the
Crashules, but that he be given orders to rip open
the whole matter, and find out if there has been, as
rumored, collusion bribery, extortion in this case.
Every innocent man connected with the case
should welcome an open and full investigation There
are too many nasty rumors the street If there
is any crookedness in the courthouse, the people
can't know it too quick. Ii there isn't they want to-
know it. An investigation would clear the air.
The Times might suggest also that it would look
better if the prosecution of Mrs Crashules were
postponed until after the $500 matter is settled,
that there will be no temptation on the part of any
that would her to color withhold her testi-
mony as to the $500
