Regular Meeting of Governor and

The second annual report of the
State Water Storage Commission,
which will now shortly be ready for
distribution, has an interesting chapter
devoted to storage in Moosehead Lake
and the other lakes at the headwa-
tiers of the Kennebec river.
Detailed studies have been made by
the commission of the increased flow
that would result from the manipua-
tion of these lakes under different
conditions of log driving requirements.
DuriHg 1a11, the amount of water
used 1t The Forks for log driving
purposes was 2600 cubic feet per Sec
ond. The log driving season generally
extends through May. June and July.
although during the year in question
it ran into August
The present storage in Moosehead
Lake, only. is about 23.7 billion cubic
feet. Considerable discussion has
been made from time to time of in
ereasing storage in the headwaters OF
keunehec river by the construction of
dam at the outlet of Brassua Lake
on Moose river. With the construction
OF this dam, the total storage above
the outlet of Moosehead Lake, includ-
ing the storage on Long pond and the
two Roach ponds. would amount to
about % billion cubic feet
Engineering computations of the dis
cbsarge of kennebee river and based on
the above storage. have been made in
detail by the commission.
The second report shows that with
the above amount of storage. 1860 Gu
bic feet per second can be continual
ly released from Moosehead Lake
from Aug / to May /, with 2600 cubic
feet per second during the log driving
season of May. June and July.
Further studies are now being made
in the office of the commission on the
increased horsepower that would re-
suit from the above regulation of

ing power plants on the river.

sion to select the route. As be- fore stated, there is no reason for Seward to feel at all alarm cd as to the report submitted.
 Tn his article Mir. Hes speaks of Valdez as an ice-fr harbor. The statement is incorrect. He also advocates Valdez as the log ical route to the Matanuska coal fields. The idea is absurd, two mountain ranges intervening be- tween the glacier town and these coal areas. As to the townsite itself. recent statements made before senate committee in support of an appropriation for the building of a dike for the protection of the town, is a suf- f1cicnt indictment against it. This paper, even if so disposed, could not more completely and effect ually knock Valdez, than it's own residents, who so freely admit the danger of it's lOcatiOn."

AS OTHERS SEE US.

Under inc caption of Seek ing to PcrpleX Congress" the Seward Gateway gives vent to the following amazing editorial:
 Alfred B. Hes contributes a lengthy article in which he en- deavors to show the superiority of Valdez over Seward as the coast terminus of the proposed gov ernment owned railway system. Hes was the promoter of one of the many paper railroads which named the glacier town as it's coast terWfnus. The article is reproduced, not by any manner or means as an endorsement of it's contents, but rather to show the insiduous efforts being made by certain Valdez boosters to puzzle and perplex the members Of congress, so that action on the railway bill may be deferred or the matter referred to n railway commission. So far as Seward is concerned, it. has no fear of the report of commission com- posed of capable, honest men. This town 90 far surpasscs all others in Alaska, SO far as nat ural advantages arc concerned, : that there can be but one result: A unanimous report in this towns favor. But the members of the congress cannot be expected io know of these advantagos--noL having been here. Hence, it is very probable that if any action is taken at this session of con- gress, the preliminary step will be the appointment of a commits

THAT RAILROAD.

There can hc no reasonable ground to doubt but that the lower house of congress will istration to acquire the Alaska Northern railway, notwith stand ing Secretary Fishers anxiety tO cOnSummate the deal. What is animating Secretary Fisher in the position he has assumed on this all important subject can only be guessed at, the conclusion not being at all tO his credit. Should congress decide to give aid to or build a trunk line railway, it will only be done after an exhaustive survey of all practical routes.
 There are many interests at work in Washington more con- cerned in personal aggrandize- mcnt than in the welfare of Alas kans or Alaska. Falcon Joslin, an employed lobbyist of the Alas ka Syndicate, was largely instru- mental in the getting up and in- troduction of the Smith Senate bill, which has been endorsed by Fisher and others interested in the sale of the Alaska Northern. Different in verbiage, it leads to the same end as the SulZer bill, namely the purchase and eXlrn- sion of the Seward road. It will never get beyond the senate.
 This route received somewhat of'a setback when government engineers pointed out the fact that although the cUaling sta tion on Resurrection bay could be made unasSailablc, the rail- road itself would be open to easy attack at points on Turnagain and knlk arms, thus cutting of | all fuel supply, whereas a road from Valdez, OF from COrdova for | that matter. would not be open to attack. Washington reports indicate that alt-~thr interests" are there cXcrting their influence to start the government dollars ''''S ''''i way. l1tItSd1pS from the Mining Congress are check by jOwl" with the Eccles. Mr. JOslin, the Canadian bond 1 holders and Senator Simon Gug- genheim. Even Mir. Dickinson. president of the White Pass rail- i road, in which inc Guggcnhcims are also interested, opposed the | building of a government road i rom the sea coast to inc Yu- Ron, frankly admitting that it would mIliiaic against tho sue cess of his Own enterprise. These 1 combined influences have work 1 ed unrcmiltingly since the open ing Of congress for the acuuisi- ! tlon by the government of the !! seward road, With the net result they are no nearer the consum- nation of their efforts than on the first day of congress. Upon i the other hand congressional committees have learned much whlch will make inc future la l bors of the lobby more difficult. A railroad will be built some day but It will not be done by wire i pulling and jObbery.
