MAY BUY ONLY ONE
 RAILROAD


 WASHINGTON March li.-Presl- dent Woodrow Wilson has humated. according to statements made this morning. that if 1t shan be decided to exercise the authority given the President to purchase one or more ex- isting railroads In Alaska, that only one wul be purchased. However. See retary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane said. that negotiations are now under way for the purchase Of both lines The whole matter is now in the hands Of the President who is giv- ing it his personal attention.
 Offers sS50,oo0 for Alaska Northern.
 The best oler that has been made by the Federal government for the Alaska Northern railroad Is S350,000. It is understood that this sum has been refused.
 The completed report was submit- ted Co the President yesterday after noon. late. by Secretary of Che Inter- for Lane. A conference between the President and Secretary Of the Inter for followed. The Secretary informed the President that negotiations are in progress for the purchase Of both railroads. He says the President however. left the impression that he would sanction the purchase of only one. ii any.
 The Secretary of the Interior said the question Of which railroad would be purchased is very much in doubt. The President had called for further figures on the cost of construction and operation. This request has resulted in great deal or speculation as to just what is meant. as the report is known 10 contain figures on an the routes discussed The engineering commission is now busy setting up the new figures wanted.
 First Question.
 The principal question Co be decid- ed at once by the President Is at 60 or which side Prince William Sound to build the railroad. This decision. Secretary of the Interior Lane. hangs largely upon which part of the coal fields it may be thought best to de- veiop at this time and upon the cost and maintenance of the two routes.
 President Asks AS 60 Authority.
 The engineering commission is now working on figures showing the costs, and estimates which win be laid be- fore the President and Secretary Of the Interior soon. Then the proposi- ton win be put up to the Attorney General for an opinion on Che Ques- tion as to the existing authority or the President to obhgate the govern ment for an expenditure in excess or the available funds This question would arise if the President should desire to purchase all of the existing railroads. or if he desired to contract In advance for extended construction.
