WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O-There
seems to be unanimity of opinion
among the national legislators that
something should be done, and at
once, to open the resources of Alas
ka. The report of the Railroad Com
mission and the recommendations of
President Taft have been the prin-
cipal topic of conservation at the
capitol for the past several days and
the only question that arises is as to
the best means of opening up that
territory. ALI agree that transpor-
tation is the first thing needed.
Some of the members of Congress
favor a government owned railway,
while others want to guarantee the
principal and interest of the bonds
and allow private parties to proceed
with the work. Just as soon as it
can be determined what is the best
solution of the problem some decisive
action will be taken. From present
indications there will be but one
trunk line built, and it will be the
Cordova route. This means the ex-
tension of the Copper River & North
western railway from Chitina to
Fairbanks, with branch line to the
Boring river coal fields.
Delegate Wickersham believes that
legislation should be introduced re-
quiring the government construction
of railroads in Alaska, rather than by
private contract, along the lines
prosecuted in the building of the
Panama canal.
