 PRESIDENT RESPONSIBLE.
 The Wickersham-Ch Chamberlain bill places in the hands of the President the whole responsibility for deyel- opment of the Alaska railroad sys- tenn. He would have the subject of routes, etc. investigated and then by executive order would decide where the roads were to be located
 The purpose is to build not more than 733 miles of standard gauge roads at this time. to connect the upper nayigable waters of the Yu- kon and Panama rivers with the warm and open harbors of the Paci, lie coast of Alaska.

  these bonds are to be amortised through a redemption fund to which will go 50 per cent of re eoipts for sale, disposal or lease of coal, agricultural or other public lands or their contests.
 The point in which relaince is placed is that the ultimate complete responsibility for the entire opera, ton is vested in the President. No commission. unless designated by him in his discretion, will have anything to do with it. The res possibility will be with him. All the Alaska interests seemed able to agree. on this, and on no other plan.
