I H [ RAILROAD |S ONLY A
 CHANCE

What de we expect from the gov ernment railroad in Fairbanks? Not much. We are not building upon the proposition-we look upon it as a wild gamble, just now" said Fair banksan now in town.
 "The way 1t looks to us of the h. terior, the government railway is a piece of Alaska's chief feature-poli- tics. If the Wilson administration was sure of another term, we would feel sure of a government railway. From what we read and hear, the Will. son administration is NOT sure of another term, and we are no surer of the railway. Should the administra- tiSn let contracts for the building of the railway, obligating the incoming administration to go thru with it, then the railway would seem a certain ty to us. If the administration begins active construction work in the In- terior next year, as it threatens to do, a new administration might feel called upon to connect up the two ends of the road, in order to prove or dis prove the Wilson theory. In case of no contracts, no Interior construction next year and a change of administra- tion, Fairbanks would never expect to hear the engine whistle into Fair banks, for we know nothing of Repub- licanism which stamps it in any way as a believer in government owner ship.
 Had the government taken over the Copper River & Northwestern railway, as we hoped they would and built from it inland, We would have felt sure of our railroad and would have built accordingly. As things turned out, not shack or house has been erected in Fairbanks upon the strength of the coming railway. and none will be until we have more req son to expect the road"

out of the general funds. The theory. is that
if the tapping of the general funds is stopped.
sections wishing new roads or improved roads
will petition to have the work done at the eX-
pense of the benefited property. .-.
There are streets which are "canyon routes -
or trunk routes generally traversed in go
ing from one part of Honolulu to another.
These have never been designated but at
various times mention has been made of King
street KaIakaua avenue, the road to kaimuki
and other highways.
Should trunk routes be improved entirely
at the expense of the abutting property 1t
does not seem just 1t seems that the general
fund should pay part of the expense.
So far as settling these and many other ques-
tions that arose as soon, as the Legislature OF
1913 passed the frontage-tax law, the outgoing
board of supervisors has done little more than
mark time The new board must do better and
intends to do better. But the board cannot
arbitrarily designate certain streets as trunk
routes Nor can it arbitrarily settle some Of
the, other problems.
There is no disposition unduly to rush the
new supervisors. What the community wants
is for them to start next Monday-the day they
take iee-energetically and industriousIy to
work out an intelligent application of the law.
A series of public meetings held in January
ought to bring out much discussion from the
public's point of view, for there are scores OF
men in Honolulu who have given this knotty
problem of local improvement much thought
in the last two years and who would be glad
to advise with the supervisors if their coopera-
ton is invited. =" >...@

ANOTHER REASON.

Japan's commerce which passes through
Honolulu is likely to be greatly increased when
the war ends or even before. The Togo Risen
Kaisha is talking about increasing its fleet to
develop South American trade. A recent issue
of the Japan Times comments as follows:
The benefit atcruing to Japan's shipping
from the destruction of the German Asiatic
squadron in the Atlantic is almost inestimable.
The resulting safety of the trade routes in those
parts of the world may prove powerful stimu-
liant to Japan's South American trade. The
Toyo Kisen Kaisha, which is the only shipping
company carrying South American trade regu-
larly, is Fastening to improve the opportunity
thus offered to give an impetus to the trade by
requesting the government to effect reduction
in the official rates for war risks on the routes
in question. -. ..~=.-. Il.
Here is another reason why Honolulu must
be ready to care for greatly increased shipping
that will visit the port-another reason for
early action to cut channel from Honolulu
harbor to Kapalama basin. o

The London Post reports the Austro German
forces, like All Gaul Of schoolboy Latin days,
divided into three parts. On various occasions
the London dispatches have alleged that if the
Russian soldiers could drive hard enough at the
right of the opposing enemy on the east, the
Austrians and Germans could be hopelessly
sundered Up to the present, however, the
Russian advance has never been strong enough
to accomplish the desired result. Movement OF
the troops in the eastern arena is necessarily
slow because of weather conditions and it is
very unlikely if a decisive blow is struck dur
ing the winter. III. ~.... =. 49,.
