RAILROAD LOBBY MAKING
 LOSING FIGHT ON VALDEZ
INTERESTING LETTER FROM NATIONAL CAPITOL WHICH SHOWS THAT SECRETARY FISHER LITTLE CHANGE
 WORKING SCHEME THROUGH CONGRESS

Washington. D. c.. April 20, l9l2.-- Ed. PrnSprctOr: The cap iiol has been and iS full of Alas ka schemes and Alaska lrgisla- around the railroad bills. of which lhrrr have been d num- h"r. all leading in the purchase of the Seward road. as rrcom- nrndcd by Secretary Fisher, with the exception of the Flood bill. which was reported hy the house committee on lrrriinrirS. They have certainly kept mo busy. but on" of the oppnsiiiOn did me the honor to say reccntly--whcn he was a little the worse for New Willard' wines and liquors--that l had done more for Valdez than all the expensive lobby the other side had maintained. As they all stop at the New Willard, and generally have from five to ten on the surface and I assume at least few underground men, the expenses of this lobby must run into the hundreds per day and thousands per week. As have no one here to divide watch with me, the opportunity to sit down does not occur often, and have to do my own clerical work as far as l possibly can: did have to employ draftsman to re- construct my charts and illum- mate them so as to make the proposition stand out decisively. However, il was worth the price, and what paid the artist, and he Is an artist, was we'll expended. These charts are simply an clab- oration and extension of the or iginal ones. They are on sep arate card boards about fl by IS inches, and I have a lawyers case large enough to put them in. It makes it very convenient tO car ry, and in case l also carry the documents tO sustain my claims for the Valdez route. These charts are more convincing than any talk. The short line is doing it's work: and, having an excellent engineers report on the line to Copper Center, which, by reason of the reputation of the engineer, they dare not assail, I have the opposition al a disadvantage. 1 also have speciaT chart of Val dez bay, executed by the artist" on which I have placed the en- tire U. s. navy, giving the ships turning room.
