The sensible and practical thing 10
do in Alaska is to create a board

would undertake not to merely build
the roads from Controller bay to the
coal fields, but should acquire all the
railroads in Alaska and settle at
once the policy of government own
ership. II should provide for the
development of other public utilities,
such as telegraph and telephone 1t
should operate and develop wharves
and docks and steamship lines and if
necessary TO deliver products to the
Pacific coast
Such administration" said La
