Alaska Railroad
Situation is Told
PRESIDENT JOSLIN OF TANANA
VALLEY ROAD EXPLAINS TER
RITORlES NEEDS.

One Of the strong arguments
for government aid in the con-
struction of railroads in Alaska
was presented in an article by
Falcon Joslin. president of the
Tanana Valley railroad, in the
Valve World for December. The
following is taken from the ar
tiCle:
During the year 1912 there
were nearly 5000 miles of new
railroad built in tho United States.
Nearly every state and Tertiary
had some new milage. Alaska
had none. Railroad building
there has ceased. There have
been eight lines Of railroad start
ed in Alaska, and an aggregate
of AL miles of track was built,
Over loo miles of this has ceas-
ed to operate. The area of Alas
ka is $4,000 square miles. This
is about equal to the area of
California, oregon, Washington,
Nevada. Idaho and Utah com
bi0ed. These states have over
$4,000 miles OF railroad in opera
ton Three hundred and eighty
five miles Of new track was built
in them in 1912 The first rail
roads in all these states were
aided by the government. No aid
of any kind has been granted
railroads in Alaska. They have
been loaded with taxation, and
prohibited the use of the natural
resources of the land

between 80 and 60 per cent OF its
deposits. The bank was also
complimented on having the great

CONCERT GIVEN
FOR BENEFIT Of
THE HOSPITALS

For the benefit of St Matthews
and ST. Josephs hospitals the Fair
banks Choral society gave its
second annual charity concert Fri
day night at the Auditorium. Every
number of the carefully prepared
program brought applause. but from
a financial standpoint the affair was
something Of a Disappointment
II hal been expected that mas
much as the concert was for the
aid of the hospitals It would bring
out an unusually large attendance.
While the proceeds have not been
determined. it is understood that it
will not total as much as had origin
ally been expected.
Following the concert, there was
a dance which lasted until about 3
o'clock in the morning. The general
sentiment WAS that the occasion was
one of the most enjoyable affairs of
the season. and that it had not re-
ceiyed the patronage it fully de-
served.
The program was composed of ov
ertures by tho orchestra. selections
by the male chorus and the full
mixed chorus and Of solos by Mrs
Theron Fell, Mrs. j. A. Clark and
Max Smith William J. Nolan was
director. The duet from the Hymn
Of Praise" Il Waited for the Lord
rendered by Mrs. Theron Fell and
Mrs. ]. 4 Clark. followed by the full
chorus vas one o. the best numbers
on the program, and both ladies did
excellent work.
Mrs. Fen's frs: solo, from the
opera "TLombardi." made such a hit
that she was compelled to respond
with a second song. Mr.. Smiths
bass solo BLOW. Blow. Thou Win
ter Wind" was given in most com
mendable manner. Mr. Smith show
ed much Improvement in his solo
work, and special mention might be
made Of the excellent manner in
which he held the many sustained
notes in this rather difficult number.
He also sang well in a later number
entitled Courage"

and musicians who took part in the
