If the United States government is disposed to play fair in the expenditure of the $5 0000O appropriated for the sucon of raroas in Alaska is difficult to how 1t the petition sent to President Wilson by the Corova Chamber of Commerce relative to the construction of line of railway to the Boring coal fields
 In the petition the officers of the Chamber of Commerce dealt in convincing with cold facts arranged in such that person inclined to view the situation with
 open mind must be convinced of the feasibility and justice of the plan outlined.
 That the president impressed by the document is in dcacd by the fact that almost immediately after its receipt he forwarded to the senate where referred to the territories The date of hearing set for May of the desire of the friends of the proposed Washington, the hearing postponed until such time persons qualified to testify before the committee be brought from the Pacific coast.
 Copies of the petition forwarded to the commercial bodies of the Pacific coast cities, and while the Cordova Chamber has been notified of favorable action by only city, Seattle it is only matter of time until all the others will fall line and give the their unqualified endorsement
 The construction of line from the coal fields to june ton with the Copper River Northwestern railway would prove of more immediate benefit to Alaska than the whole trunk line from Seward to Fairbanks
 The immediate effect would be the erection of huge smelter at COrdava and such plant alone would coal and wealth in Alaska than will originate from all the coal to be shipped out of Alaska in the next ten years for purely commercial purposes
 The COroVa Chamber of Commerce does not seek to de- from the importance of the lines building but is pointed that the original bill calls for expenditure of $35000000 for railroad construction in Alaska, and the es Jlated of all the lines thus far projected leaves ample funds the disposal of the Alaskan Railway Commission build the line to the Boring coal fields

 If Congress should make the larger appropriation for Alaska roads this year, likely it would the last doubt to the feasibility of mail service
