ROAD 0vERvALUED, HE SAYS.
Alaska Northern Railways Real
Worth Only R3,OOO,ONO.

That the Alaskan Northern Railway.
said to be worth s60Oo.OOo, actually rep
resents an investment of less than
s3,ooO.ooo. and that it is controlled by the
Morgan-Guggenheim interests through
their Canadian banking connections. was
exposed by the Senate Committee on
Territories yesterday in the examination
OF +. c. Jemmett, of the road
The counsel and financial representa-
tive of this railroad have protested 10
the committee against the approval of
any measure which would provide for
government purchase of their road under
condemnation at q price to be determined
by appraisal. Following this lead, the
committee forced from the witness a
statement of the actual investment in
the road, with the result that il was
shown this road is worth less than half
wha' it is represented to be, and less
tan half the price the government
would have been asked to pay. The ex-
position of the fact that the Morgan
Guggenheim interests control this road
completes the evidence, showing that all
constructed railways in Alaska are con-
trolled by this group.

Under a cooperative agreement be-
tween the forest service and the
Burlington railroad, a large crew of
men in the employ of the railroad is
at present engaged in the removal of
all timber to a distance of 200 teet on
each side of the tracks. By the re-
moval of all iniamabie material along
this strip. having a total width of 400
feet, the local forest officers feel that
the possibility of forest fires along the
RAILROAD will be practically eliminated.
Considerable work of this kind was
done by the railroad Immediately after
the extensive fires of 1910 and 1911,
in that they removed all of the dead
and down material The value of
this work has been clearly demon
strated and in furtherance Of the sys-
tenn of adequate protection against fire
all remaining timber is being removed.
