ALASKA RAILROAD BILL
BECAME A LAW TODAY
PRESIDENT WILSON SIGNED MEASURE WHICH
AUTHORIZES RAILROAD CONSTRUCTION.
WILL DEVELOP COAL FIELDS
Pen Used in Placing Signature to the Measure Be-
comes of Great Historical Value-Wilson Will
Direct Expenditure of $35, 100000.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 12.-Presiden1
Wilson today signed the Alaska ran'
road bill, thus putting into effect the
Law passed by congress for the con.
structiOn of 1000 miles Of railroad in
Alaska by the government The
amount appropriated for the project
is ss5,OOOyOOO.
The president used the same pen
in signing the bill with which the sig
natures of Speaker Clark and Vice
President Marshall put to the bill. The
pen was one of Alaska gold and was
held In an ivory penholder made from
the tusk of a mastadon that roamed
in Alaska more than $4,000 years ago.
The penholder was carved in the
form of an Alaska totem pole by an
Alaskan Indian living at Skagway.
The tusk from which it was carved
was found in the alluvials of the Kus-
kokwim. Biologists say the ivory
from these deposits must be at least
$4,000 years old.
The penholder and pen were sup
piled by John E. Ballaine of Seattle
and Alaska, who has been one of the
active supporters of the Alaska rail-
road bill Mr.. Ballaine will present
the pen and penholder to the territory
of Alaska.
The measure authorizes the con-
struction of 1000 miles of railroad to
connect Alaskas coal fields with the
coast, the route to be selected by the
president to whom are also left many
other important details.
