CELEBRATE PASSAGE OF
ALASKA RAILROAD BILL
Picturesque Parade Held in Seattle.
Steamers Headed North Are
Crowded.

SEATTLE, Wash, March 21.-Passage
of the Alaska railroad bill by Congress
was celebrated here and at many points
in Alaska tonight It was the occasion
also of the vernal equinox, which means
for Alaska the approach of the long
days of sunshine and the unlocking of
the frozen rivers.
In Seattle a long parade. the most pic
turesque ever seen here, moved through
the principal streets. The tone of the
banners carried was one of jubilation
over the approaching development of the
rich territory in the north Pack horses,
dog teams and men with gold rockers,
shoulder packs, fur hoods, picks and
shovels were in line. Some Of the men
had crossed Chilkoot pass in the Klondike
days and stanpeded to the gold camp.
Governor and Mayor on Float.
The first float, the Alaska special
represented locomotive. and the crew
were Gov. Ernest Lister of Washington,
Mayor Hiram C. Gill of Seattle, and
President J. E. Chilberg of the Seattle
Chamber Of Commerce, who gained for
tune in the Nome placer diggings. The
paraders broke ranks on a square in the
northern part of the city, where the
celebration was continued about a huge
bonfire.
Steamers bound for Alaska are unable
to take all the people who apply for
passage. Two thousand men have gone
north since the railroad bill was passed.
Besides the usual spring migration of
miners. steamboat men and salmon can
ners. adventures are flocking again to
Alaska. not with dogs as in 1S96-37, but
eager to be on the ground before the
railroad Builders arrive.

when its author achieved for it a posi-

a moment later because of his courtesy
to a fellow senator.
Senator McCumber sought and won for

Senate to give the bill that place. Then

quorum defeated him.
Senator McCumber expects to renew
the fight for a vote on the grain in
