WASHINGTON. June 2s.-Falcon 1

WASHINGTON, June 29.-Falcon Joslin, of Fairbanks, who spent the winter and spring at the national capital, has just returned from trip to Seattle. He will continue to use every effort to prevail upon mem- bers of Congress to realize the neces- sity of repeating the tax of s100 per mile per annum on the railroads in Alaska. His own railroad, operated by the Panama Mines Railway Com. pany, woudl be so penalized in en- forcing the obnoxious law, that the entire property would be confiscated, with millions of dollars in fines still unpaid. While here MT. Joslin is ai- ways on the alert to advocate legis- lation for the general benefit of Alaska. He is particularly insistent for the passage of Secretary Lanes development board measure. His views on the railroad situation were expressed in a letter which he re- gently wrote to Fairbanks. Part of it was as follows:
The Chitina leader., 1914-06-30

I have constantly and steadily advocated the adoption of the report of the railroad commission, for do not believe it can be improved. This, as you know would provide one line extending from Chitina to Fairbanks and another from Seward to the kuskokwim. If the full 1000 miles is built, there will be plenty of mileage for both these trunk lines and considerable in addition
 John E.. BalIaine, of Seward, has consistently and viciously attacked the railway commission and their re- port, no doubt for the purpose of order to prevent the construction of any railroad from Chitina and so to insure the building of line. from Seward only. He. owns townsite at Seward and of course if he can in- duce the construction of line from Seward and prevent the construction of a line from any other terminus it will be of the greatest advantage to his townsite.
 If a line should be built from Seward to Fairbanks, it would reach the Tanana River at Nenana. Even though the tracks were extended on to Fairbanks, Nenana would be the point of discharge. of cargo for the river steamers and would also be the point where round trip tourists coming down the river would take the railroad for the coast. This will inevitably make town at Nenana and I am afraid may detract from Fairbanks and it's vicinity. If al railroad came from Chitina down the Panama, it would come directly into Fairbanks and insure the supremacy of that community for all time.
 The prejudice against the Guggen- helms is very great, and I am afraid that from political consideration the President may feel obliged to build line from Seward to Fairbanks, rather than from ChItna, and this in spite of the very great physical advantages such as the water grade. the shorter line, and the nearer coal fields, undoubtedly give the Copper river route.

Object to Low Rates

Helena, April 20.-Montana, in its
present stage of developments, is not
entitled to the distributing rates the
Montana railroad commission propos.
ed to put in effect. declared Traffic

Northern on the stand today at the
rate hearing before the Montana com
mission.
The work of pioneering, of con.
structing branch lines to develop this
state, is incompatible with rate agita.
ton, and if Montana wants one, it
must get along without the other, was
the substance of a declaration by
Traffic Manager r. M. Calkins of the
Milwaukee.
The hearing brought here represen.
tatives of all the carriers operating in
the state, jobbers from Montana cities,
favoring the rate reduction, and some
business men opposed to them. A
delegation from the Flathead country
is present to protest against the rates
being cut.
O. w. Tong of Helena represented
the jobbers' association. He asked for
a ninety day postponement of the
hearing. explaining the jobbers were
no sure they wanted a reduction in
distributing rates, that possibly they
wanted in lieu of it a reduction in
rates on carload lots from the east
The carriers protested against a post
ponement and we're prepared to argue
against it. The commission ruled
it would hold the hearing and ordered
testimony to be taken.
