Official Paper
NOME ALAskA, JAN. %, 1914.

Forty millions for railroads. Seven laillions for the road commission. For ty-seven million dollars all ot which will practically be spent in Alaska. Of course Alaska Is a large territory tu. forty millions of dollars Is also n l. .ge amount and it is not all going to be spent in one place. Some of the forty -sevcn millions of dollars will
 vent lally wander into the uttermost :Irts of the land for man is migratory and he will collect his pile and move on to ether ulaces.
 It is a pretty good grubstoke to lo chucked into the territory of AL aska, is forty seven million good gol'l dollars of the United States. But ii ie only tho beginning. It is the orig tn l registration fee of the claim. that Is ui:. For ., is with the investment uf ti.is nmt n: that forty seven times forty st yer mutton of dollars will bc taken out of the ground of the terri tory. It is just the very beginning of the development of the land and. while 1t sounds like large sum of money. Y is in comparison with what 1t will cnuse to be produced. the merest trifie.
 The forty millions appropriated for the railroad will immediately attract many thousands to the part of tho territory where 1t Is to be spent But tkat is only the beginning. Thousands will rush into the railroad construc- ton centsrs and there will be an over few of hundreds who will be thrown out of the vortex of the whiflwinI and will land beyond the construc- ton camps. And they will not como empty handed. these people who wil, pass by that sectoin of the country and seek farther afield for fortune. There is money waiting at this min ute to be invested in Alaska and tEcrc are men who are long headed and far sighted enough to keen ahead of the column that will push in in the wake of the railroad. There are al- ways keen sighted men of affairs wh" can see farther into the future than tho farthest survey cf the party run ing the first line.
 These men who will look n Iittir beyond tho horizon of inc ordinary investor, who will keep ahead "f th" push. arc not going to stop at the point whero the present railroad ter minus h located They are willing to 10 bit farther and perhaps wait bit Ionger In order to make better returns on their investment when tho time comss to cnsh in and declare dividepds.

 to investigate.
 | There are many people who believe
 that there Is as much quartz within 1 striking distance of Nome as there U l anywhere else in Alaska. We know tbot there is stfll plenty of placer gold
 within easy reach of Nome What we want to do is to let the man who is looking for an investment know about these things. There is p,enty of money in the United States frat will not be hard to get if 1t 1: Eone after in the right way. The wise man is not going into any eet-rich- quick scheme and we do not want any man to be deceived aoout conoitions rers. but we do want every man p' the United States who is thinking of investing in Alaska because he haa heard % much about the territroy on account of the nation wide prom'- nence given it through the talk m congress, to know that up here on the Seward peninsula is a great big rich country which is just one iap ahead of the railroad and Is therefore the one best bet in the territory. That man wants to know now and nc N ting by the Areside or at the cl"" or in the office at this very minute nnl wishing he had someone to put him wise to the place In that Alaska that ho has beenl hearing so much about wrere he could get in on the ground floor in mining or business of real estate.

There are several hundred earnest. eager men sitting in the national leg is:ature in Washington. They hay" practically been in session continu .u,sly for year. and yet there is still very much of the business for which thy are employed by the people tha. remains undone.
 To be sure the present congress and the extra session which proceeded It lave managed to get through with mere important legislation than has been considered and acted upon by lry one congress for a great many sessions. But the present congress has had the whip and spur of an ex- .r,,tinnal jocky in the person of Presi- dent Wilson to keep It on the track.
 President Wilson has managed to ,.ccrce and bully and threaten and "a; jolc congress to do some of Its drties. but even with the incentive of his example of energy and with his continuous prodding the wheels of Legislation have ground exceeding sltw.
 After many months of time vast ing, the currency and tariff bills wer" finally passed, the Alaska railroad bill was happily passed and the banking {, nd currency bill was passed. Other regular bills such as the yearly supply hills for the army and navy and tho civil establishment. which must of necessity he put through. have been passed.
 Hut what an unnecessarily long time the thousand and one men who stt fl the national legislature have taken q, CT all of this.
 There Is n great deal of business vel to be worked through with and congress is getting farther and far ther behind every day in the consid- ciation of the many, many bills of a public and private nature which arc piling up and crowding its col lendar.
 Of late years congress has been al most continuously in session when ever permitted by law to sit and yet |, is miles behind in its work.
 With the growth of the country tho demand for legislation of ono kind or another grows. Tn the last fifty years the amount of legislative work de- ma nded of congress has considerably more than doubled and yet the meth ot,s of grinding these bills through tho two houses remain the same.
 Tn, an age of electricity and flying machines congress Is still working by candle light and travelling by mulH car in so far as it's methods of legis- lation are concerned.
 Certainly with so many estimable gentlemen In tho two houses of the legislative branch of the government
 
 ss mo means could he devised by W hIch the duties of the body could hc expedited.
 The several committees are design e: to take much of the burden off of inc shoulders of the senate and the house as a whole. md vet. even with  tEis assignment of bills for consider ciion the two chambers cannot kccr ,p with the work that ia increasing y,nr to year.
 Ono result of this rush of business which cannot bc properly considered E. n lot of haphaznrd legislation which f.. so poorly constructed that 1t must bc all done over again and moro tlmc is wasted nt the next session in unGoing what was carelessly done as iic last. This is had from a business standpoint md It often works great
