ORNATE LIGHTS
CAUSE PROTEST

Over the protest of a large
group of property owners, who
declared that they had no money
to spend this year on ornaments"
the city council today voted to
install ornamental street lights on
South e street from the intersec-
tion of Tacoma avenue to the in
tersection of Jefferson.
The lights will be on iron
standards, with four-lamp clus-
tiers. There will be four to each
block. The cost will total $4,812,
and the property adjoining the
district, which bears the expense,
is valued at $566,670.

But the real crux of the matter and
the principal cause which has sent the
government forester and his assistant
scurrying into the northland. it is de-
clared. is information that the burea u
has received that a number of timber
operators are considering the purchase
of the numbering rights of vast tracts
of these reserves with an eye to opera
tons in the future, when they intend
to ship the timber in private bulls
through the Panama canal to the At
lantic coast. 1t has also become known
that many wood pulp operators have
been considering the possibility of OBJ
tanning timber from these forests for
pulp mills of the east.
Under these conditions the govern
ment forester is prone to believe that

Northern railway, seventy-two miles.
This railway the government is buy
ing. proposing to extend it. Forty-five
miles north of the track end lies An
chorage, at the base of the peninsula.
On the northwest side of the penin-
sula is Cook inlet, a long, broad arm
of the ocean, which terminates in Knik
arm, on the shores of which is Anchor
age. Tradition has it that Cook inlet
is blocked by ice in winter and not
navigable. But for seven months of
the year it is open.
Seward. being on the warmer waters
of the Gulf of Alaska. is an open
harbor all the year around. But. pend
ing the completion of the road from
the present track end to Anchorage,
it is much easier to transport supplies
by water straight from Seattle to
Anchorage than to attempt taking
them in by way of Seward, the rail-
road and the forty-flve miles of wild
country over which they would have
to be conveyed by pack train. Hence
Anchorage.
But this is not all. 1t may be that
the government, for ecomomy's sake
in transportation, may elect to take
out much of its coal from the interior
by way of Anchorage, for water trans
portation is so much cheaper than rail
transportation.
The main line of the government
railroad is to swing past Anchorage
and strike north. Seventy-five miles
north of Anchorage a branch line will
be diverted to run thirty-eight miles
to the Matanuska coal fields. To haul
the coal from the mines to Anchorage

are placer deposits of free gold, too, as

1t has been but little more than

Together with this. some 500 private

are at present about fifty canneries

In fact. the first ripple of that wave
has already struck the hitherto isolated
