PRESIDENT SIGNS i.aSHsH RAILWAY BILL
Work Nay START Daring This Year
Colonel GoethaIs May Have Job
Of Building It.

Washington. President Wilson
Thursday signed the bin authorizing
the expenditure Of $35.0OO,Oo0 for the
first goycrumeut-owued railroad con
structcd by the United States.
Secretary Lane Immediately after
ward had long talk with the prcsi-
dent about the selection OF engineers
for the task. Though Colonel Cocktails
had been mentioned for the work. it is
unlikely that he will have finished the
Panama canal in time for the present
undertaking, which Mr.. Lane intends
to get into operation at once.
The secretary said the enactment of
tie railroad bill would be followed by
the passage of the Alaska leasing bill.
which would mean the carrying out Of
the administration program for the de
velOpment of Alaska In an incredibly
short time. He added that an attempt
would be made to gather the working
force this year
The beginning of the project will sig
nalize new method of government
stimulus for the opening of virgin ter
ritory. contrast to the government
bounties and guarantee of bonds.
which, in pioneer days of the West,
were used by the federal government
to encourage railroad building
Thursdays law had a comparatively
short history, though the subject had
been agitated for many years. Early
last year Secretary Lane indorsed the
bill and obtained the support of the
president to make an administration
measure. Administration leaders in
congress during the debate that follow
ed made it clear that the bill was not
to be construed as an Endorsement of
the principle of government ownership
of railroads, but was intended to fit a
special case and bring to Alaska pri-
vate capital and people to develop its
resources.
