1t was expected that James Wick
ersham, Delegate to Congress, would
arrive at Cordova this evening. He
addressed a meeting at Valdez last
night and expected to start for Cor
dova in a small launch this morning,
although he stated that he would

no wire had been received up to 3
O'Clock this afternoon his followers
here assume that he has not yet
left our neighboring city. Arrange
ments had been made to hold a
meeting at Empress theater tomor-
row night but it now looks as though
it would be held later in the week.

Sitka to Whitshed at Cordova. But
the Buffalo is making rapairs at the
Sitka station and the instruments
were out of commission today. Press
and other messages are being held
up at Sitka but they may be sent
through tonight or tomorrow. In
the meantime our Geographic news

WASHINGTON, Oct Isl p Morgan, of
New York, had arranged for conference today
with President Wilson and Secretary Lane, osten-
sibly for the purpose Of discussing the financing of
the proposed government railways in Alaska. It is
known that among the subjects discussed was the
Copper River & Northwestern Railway, owned by
the Alaska Syndicate, of which Mr.. Morgan is
leading member Secretary Lane was interested in
knowing the arrangements under which the present
line running from Cordova could be secured. Mr..
Morgan stated that it would either be leased sold
outright to the government, under such price or
terms would be agreeable to the Secretary While
nothing authoritativey has been stated it is under
stood that from such information already received
fro the Alaska Engineering Commission that
Secretary Lane is beginning to consider that the
acquisition of this line likely by lease, will be
sary to the plan likely to be adopted for the
development of Alaska.
