The Alaska daily empire., 1913-10-01

big things will be accomplished for Alaska. It agrees with the general impression that the record made is an indication that the other big prob lens of government will be taken up in turn and disposed of in businesslike manner.
 Excellent progress already has been made with Alaska questions. With the railroad bill on the calendar of the Senate as unfinished business, giving it the right of way in that chamber, and through the House committee on Territories, and the first regular ses- sion of Congress more than 60 days off. there is none that has right to complain of the speed at Washington. Alaska is receiving more consideration and better than ever before in the his tory of the Territory. The administra- ton and Congress are making Balti- more promises good right down the line
 Speaking it's confidence in the ad- ministration the Alaskan, heretofore a Republican newspaper, says:
 Tn the newspapers throughout
 Alaska there appears to be a gen
 eral feeling of confidence that the
 present Democratic administration
 is sincerely in earnest in the de-
 sire to bring about remedial condi-
 tions in Alaska. President Will
 son and his advisers have declared
 themselves in no uncertain words
 in favor of the opening and devel-
 Opment of Alaska. They have in-
 dicated that the Alaska railroad
 bill, appropriating $4O,OOO,OOO for
 the construction of railroads in
 this Northern Territory, will be-
 come a law either in December or
 January next. It is reasonable to suppose that soon after some defi-
 mite policy concerning the opening
 up of the coal fields will be adopt
 ed. And when cheap and good
 fuel can be secured then will the
 real and permanent development
 of Alaska commence"

The Alaska daily empire., 1913-10-01

The tariff bill has been passed, re- moving many of the artificial barriers to trade and commerce, and the Pan anna canal is about ready for the use of the merchant marine of the Pacific. Now, all that is lacking to make Pa cifc Coast commerce thrive as never before is railroad construction in Al aska and the natural development that will follow it.
The Alaska daily empire., 1913-10-01
PROGRESS OF RAILROAD BILL.

THE Alaska railroad bill will be
 passed at the regular session of
 Congress. At least this seems to be the consents of opinion among friends of the bill who are members of Congress. There are many arguments that can be adduced in support of the measure, but none that are logical against it. The only opposition that has been voiced in Congress against it comes from those members who ob- ject to the Government owning and operating railroads or any other public utilities. But these men do not know. or they do not stop to consider. the act that conditions - economic and physical u Alaska are of a most pc cuiar kind. having no parallel else where among the possessions of the United States. Our coal fields have been closed to development, notwith- standing that We need the coal they contain for domestic and industrial use. and their development would stim- uIaJe mining and industrial enterprises in many sections of Alaska. Many of our statesmen tail to see Alaska as it Is. or give heed 10 the lessons that its past history should have taught them. But apart from all this, judging by objections to government ownership that are heard in Congress and out of it. it might be thought that the gov erumeut has never entered the trans Dortatiou field. It has. however, for it owns and operates the Panama rail road between Colon and Panama City, on the Isthmus. and it will continue to operate the railroad even after the canal has been opened to the world. The government also owns and oper- ates the Panama steamship company on The route between New York and Colon. And do not let it be forgotten that both these transportation lines common carrierS-are conducted SIC ccssfulIy and al a profit
 The government owns and operates the post office department huge in- sriuuon but none of the opponents of government ownership of railroads and steamship lines seem to think of that And the time is not far distant when the government will operate all the telegraph lines of the country. as 1t should. and cheaper service. if. nor better, will be the result.
 Go.ernment-owned railroads are needed in Alaska because that is the .u.y way that development of the Ter rIlarg can be brought about on a large scale. and railroads must be supple u.nted by wagon roads and trails to serve as feeders for the railroads. What point or points on the Alaska coast shall be selected as a terminus or Jermini for these railroads is not vital issue. Let Congress appropriate the money for railroad construction and the termini will take care of them selves.
 All Alaska will bloom with a per ennial harvest given adequate trans portatiou facilities of various kinds.

System of Treatment Proves Bio
Success.

Heretofore sufferers from chronic dis
eases were compelled to visit other
cities if they wished to consult special
ist to receive help, this in Itself entail
ed considerable expense. This is wholly
unnecessary now that DR.. Karass the
German specialist visits our CITY each
week. The reason that DR.. Karass visits
WatertOwn each week, is that all chronic
diseases require special treatment, at
least seven days. and complete cure in
these cases cannot be affected unless
this treatment is given, as medicines
alone are of no avail. A talk with any
of the waiting patients each Monday,
gives an insight into the grand work
this able specialist is doing.
The German Specialist treats among
many ailments diseases of the heart,
lungs, liver. kidneys, stomach, nerves,
including rheumatism, epilepsy, asthma
catarrah, stomach trouble, ulcers, deaf
ness, diseases of men and women. He
treats without operation goitre. piles,
rupture. tumors, appendicitis, gall
stones, and diseases of women. The Ger
man Specialist will give free X-Ray ex-
animation, free advice, and free treat
ment to all who call, the only charges
being for medicines. The Doctor will be
at the Waukesha Hotel, cor Fifth and
Main ST., on Monday, Oct. 6th and each
week thereafter. Hours 9 a. m. to 4:3O
