ALASKA RAILROAD.


 BOSTON.-With the prospective on. trance Of the United States govern. ment Into railroad ownership and op- eradon in Alaska two existing roads have been offered for sale as part Of the proposed federal system- the Copper River 6 Northwestern. of the Alaska Syndicate, and the Alaska Alaska Northern.
 The Copper River road has S5,000,0O0 stock and an authorized bond issue Of s5O.OOOOOO, while the Alaska North ern has SS0,OO0.OOO each Of authorized stock and bonds. although but $5,000,- 000000 have been issued. The for me. operates 196 miles of tlie most expensive road in the world, costing approximately $25.O0O.0OO, while the latter owns less than 100 miles.
 Franklin K. Lane, Secretary Of the Interior who has the matter in charge makes this statement to che Boston News Bureau ''Ye have received of iers of sale from the Copper River road aud the Alaska Northern road. Alternate routes on both sides of the Prince William Sound. which would obviate the necessity of purchasing either road, have been suggested and surveys made. On the east side of Prince William Sound instead of de- parting from cordova tho road might depart from Valdez.
 "On the west side Instead of depart ing from Seward tho road might make its terminus at Portage bay. The road on the east side would lead to the in- terior through the Chitina valley. and on the west side through the susit- m valley

SPRUCE SEED FROM
 ALASKA FOR DENMARK

CORDOvA. Jan. 22--It Is learned that tho local forest office recently made Q shipment of 9 quantity of first class seed ot the local or Sltka spruce timber Go Denmark for experimental purposes. The seed was secured from the Prince William Sound region and is or the best quality obtaiuabie. Ses- eral years ago several hundred pounds or such seed was shipped to various foreign countries from this region. and the fact that Denmark has requested sample for experimental purposes is no doubt due to favorable reports received from the first shipment
 As the climatic and soil conditions Of Denmark are similar to this part Of Alaska, there is reason to suppose that tho Sitka spruce will be found adaptable in which case large areas will be reiorested to replace the logged off black spruce as fwen as raise the standard Of saw-timber.

 Fire Situation.
 The fire situation on the Kenai pen- insula and Knik Arm within the for est was serious one owing to the fact that there were so many parties and prospectors scattered throughout the country. Realizing probable con- ditions. the forest service maintained Q comprehensive and effecient super vision so that of the twenty-five for est fires, none was permitted to get out Of hand and the actual damage was kept down to minimum Both plac- CT and quartz mining showed consid- erable activity as was evidenced by many free timber uses granted the various operators for development purposes It Is expected that a num- Der of dredging and hydraulic prop. critics win be opened up in the spring particularly in the Kenai river section, which stands in large areas of low grade gravel.
 Tn the Prince William Sound region there was upwards of 100000 feet of saw-timber cut besides large quan- titles Of other material used in the development Of various mining prop critics under free use permits. On Cook Inlet sufficient piling and poles were cut under timber sale to build over sixty salmon traps besides the driving Of docks and other improve ments by the numerous canneries.

 Whose proud privilege Is it to sup. ply this sum during the present wine terg Belgium can do little or nothing.

Clearly enough, il the brave Belgians are not to be starved out or existence they must be fed by the Americans. God Almighty, it would seem has charged you with this mission deputed you to this work. Never was thero Q more deserving or a more urgent one. So pressing and SO wide Is tbe need that no other people on Gods earth but yourselves can cope with it
 But you are accustomed to handle great propositions, the overwhelming character of which, while 1t may dismay others, on the contrary serves to inspire you With hundred mil- lion of free end generous citizens Go appeal Co, feel confident that this American scheme for tho relief of fam. ishing Belgium will be carried forward as it were. on tidal wave across the Atlantic to the voice crying for help from you. to whom never was an ap- peal made in vain. Above the din of battle and beyond the cry of his peo. pie hear the voice Of Abort the Great. King of the Belgians Borne upon the waves of the Atlantic hear this royal message Go you:
 "To me it IS great comfort in this hour of sorrow and misfortune to feel that a great.hearted and dis-interest- ed people is directing their efforts for the relief of tho distress that has fall- en upon the uno0ending civilian pop ulauon of my country. Despite all that can be done. the suffering Of tho winter will be terrible, but the burden of it will be greatly frightened if my people can beN spared the bangs Of hunger with tho ravages of disase al- most inevitable to it."
 His Majesty closes this winged mes sage with these pathetic words;
 'The whole-hearted friendship Of America shown Co my people at this time will always be precious mem- ory"
