GOSap'i: hB0uIl::iI ..|'' ALASKA RAILROAD
P.-I. Correspondent Says Oecis- ion Will be Largely Left to
 President Wilson.

The Washington correspondent of the Seattle post-Intelligencer sends the following to his paper, which was printed in the P.-I. of March 3rd:
 If congress accepts the plan agreed upon by the various inter- tests concerned in the construc- tion of a government-owned rail- road in Alaska no route will be specified in the legislation auth orizing the construction of such a road. After having given notice of the governments intention to build railroad ill Alaska, con- gross will be asked to retire and leave all further negotiations and Arrangements to President Wood row Wilson, who has agreed to give ample hearings to everyon :, concerned in the project shortly after his inauguration.
 The Alaskans now in Washing ton have held a number of con- ferences recently on the railroad question, and as result have drawn up a bill which, it is plan- ned, will be introduced in the House by Delegate Wickersham and ill the Senate by Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon.
 The provisions of this propos- ed measure bind the government to the construction of a railroad connecting the Fairbanks district with tidewater, and leave the To- cation of the route to the Presi- dent of the United States. In this way, it is believed, the Alaska railroad proposition will receive a vast amount of support in con- grrss. and very little opposition.
 Two Routes Advocated.
 The advocates of each of the two. routes covered by the report of the Alaska railroad commis- sion. which recently was sent to congress by President Taft, eX- pect to make strong representa- lions in behalf of their respective routes when he question is form- ally laid before President Wilson. but until congress has passed a law authorizing the construction 'nf such a road they will all act in unison.
 One striking feature of the tentative measure just drawn up is the provision it makes for financing the road. An issue of S35. .OO0,O ,O00 worth of 3 per cent bonds is aut hnriZrd for cnnSlruc- tinn of the road. but it is pro- posed that this large bond issue shall be entirely redeemed through a fund to be created by setting aside 50 per cent of the proceeds derived from the sale of timber, mineral and other public lands in Alaska, and the net earn JUDO Il'tii tilC ldItI odu lIStti, dl- ter the yearly interest on the bonds has been paid. It is be- lidved that this redemption scheme, which makes it necessary for congress to make any sort of an outright appropriation for the Alaska railroads, will gain many friends for the project in Demo- cratic circles .-,., ,t-s~--.>
 May Acquire Roads: 1 Another provision of the bill to be introduced by Delegate Wick ersham and Senator Chamberlain provides that the government may obtain possession of any railroad already constructed in Alaska, by condemnation proceedings, if oth- CT means of acquisitino prove in
 effectual. This will apply to the Guggenheim road, running out ot Cordovaa to the copper fields, and the Alaska Northern, extending about 70 miles inland from Sew
 ard toward the Matanuska coal fields.

SAYS MONIES WELCOME
 WAS BEST OF ALL

Scott c. Bone. editor-in- -chief Of the
 Seattle Post -Intelligencer. is authority
 for the statement that the welcome
 given by Nome to the excursionists
 wax tho most enthusiastic md the
 best received in all Alaska although
 the people showed the greatest friend- ship everywhere.
 One fact that MT. Bone particularly noticed Is that more snow is visible
 around Seattle than all along the
 Yukon river. Professor Georgeson
 travelled with the party for some dis
 tance and declared to the members of 1t that the amount of agricultural ground in the territory is not less than 100, 900 square miles. Many were
 sceptical about this until they reached Fairbanks.
 Mir. Bune came to Seattle from Washington. D. C., and his belief is that railroad in Alaska Is cer- tainty next session. Mrs. Bone. who accompanies him, is also most np- preciatNc of the welcome received here.
