BUILD RAILROAD
 FROM STATES
Across Canada and Into Alaska is PuFpoee of Congressman
 Johnson's Bill.

Washington, Aug. 27.--Repre- sentative A. Johnson of Wash ington, today introduced a bill instructing President Wilson to negotiate with Canada for the construction of a railroad from the United States through Can ada and into Alaska.
 The congressman pointed out That Alaska would be cut off from and unprotected in the event Of war between the United States and any large power and that the construction of the railroad from the United States to Alaska would allow for mobiIizing troops in the territory and for it's protcc- tion, even if the fleet was not strong enough to protect the transports or if the fleet was re- quired elsewhere.
 Alaska, with it's great wealth of minerals and coal, was a tempting prize to leave unpro- tected, said the congressman, and the government should prepare to- protect the territory.

ALASKA PACKERS
 ESTABLISH PRICE
Reds Are to Sell for $1.15 Doz- en Cans and Pinks for .e5--
 Little Fellows Kick.

SeattN, Aug. 27.--The Alaska Packers Association, the big sal mon packers of Alaska, and of the Puget Sound country, today fixed the price at which they will of fer this seasons catch to the public.
 Red salmon are to sell for $1.- l5 dozen cans, while the pinks are to be offered at .G5 dozen.
 The price set by the Alaska Packers governs the sale of sal mon, as they are the largest op- orators in the salmon business, and while they do not control the output they pack enough so that all the other companies combined cannot change the market price.
 Small operators in Alaska and on the coast are complaining at the low price decided upon by the association, as they preferred selling this seasons output for more than the prices of last year. They are, however, helpless and must sell for $l.1 or less.
