necessity of undoing that ill-con-

TO ALASKA BY RAIL?

In signing the Alaska railroad
bill President Wilson expressed
his qualification that we have at
last reached out the hand of real
helpfulness and brotherhood to
Alaska. which will now link it to
us by many bonds that will be
valuable to both Sides The Sc
lection of engineers for the gigan-
tic task will be the next step for
ward. The name Of Colonel Coet-
halls, the builder Of the Panama
canal, naturally comes uppermost
in this connection. 1t is not like
!y,however, that he will be through
with the Panama canal for the
present undertaking. which will
be started with the least possible
delay.
Apropos Of our initial expert
ment in government railroad
building it is interesting to note
that Sir Richard Mcbride, pre-
mier of British Columbia. recen-
thy said to the legislature of that
Canadian province: Il believe
that the time has now come for
the building of a railroad through
Northern British Columbia to the
Yukon and Alaska, and | may say
that the authorities at Washing
ton and Ottawa have both gone so
far as to indorse heartily some
project of cooperation in the
building Of this line" The pre-
mier predicted the completion Of
such project within five years.
This being the case, all-rail trips
to Alaska may be in the itinerary
