MEARS' POLICY.

V = V .
 About two weeks ago The Citizen received a dispatch from Seward in which Captain Frederick Mems. of inc Alaskan Engineering commission. was quoted as saying that the Al aska railroad would not be complct- l cd before 1920 or 1921. We de i liberated considerably before We de i Cided to print that dispatch. as We thought that Commi sioner Mears might possibly have been misquoted In the end, however. we concluded 10 give our Seward correspondent the benefit of any doubt we nigh have had in the matter and use th, tory. chiefly bccau il could dc no harm to the railroad project, and preferring to take chance ol Iisquoting Commissioner Mears than to hold back good news story.
 And dispatches received here yes terday evidence the fact tn. We i Ised good judgment in the matter
 For the dibpatche contain reitera- l tiohs of Commi sioner Mears' Seward i statements. That is, Commissioner l Mears reiterated to the Seattle pa pers the statements he made at seward regarding the time that the railroad will be completed, in his opinion, and that is in 1920.
 It is therefore very apparent to u
 hat Commissioner Mears means what he says. For if he believes hat the railroad will not be com lleted before 1920 or 1921, he will work to that end as long as he is d member oG the Alaskan Engineer. ing commission. Which means that fairbanks, her busine interests and yhe development of her resources will be thrown between four and 1 live years behind, providing that this i end of the railroad is not Comple ted sooner than Commissioner Mears contemplates And, as before stated if Commissioner Mears believe in l his own mind that the road will 1 h., h.. h.,
 named by him, his working policy
 will be just as he has outlined it.
 We would not go so far as to ac cuse Commissioner Mears of trying to hold back the construction work on the Alaska railroad and thereby holding back the development of AL aska project, but We would prefer that his answer to inquiries made i by sOlicitOuS newspaper men be more 1 circumSpect That is, he should have spoken enthusiastically regarding thr construction work on the railroad, as do all true Alaskans concerning any project in which they may be inter i ested, or el C he should not have made any predictiOn$ at all. In fact
 n making the statements that h." Ioes, he shows that he is entircly | foreign to Alaska, that he is nos nt crested in his work to the cXten. # wishing to make an everlasting
 monument for himself in it's quick completion, and that he is merely
 5orking for hi SlO000 per year, O.
 whatever he gets out of it. But, when the latter element enters in
 t would be easy to conclude that Captain Mears prefers the money he gets as a member of the Alaskan Engineering commission to the honor, l 1f which his share will be one third, )f building the Alaska railroad quick ly. For by dragging the construction work along he can pull down" just that many more years salary. But a. we stated before, we are not making this accusation against Com
 missioner Mears. We are simply
The Alaska citizen., 1916-12-11

showing the route he could travel" if he so desired
 But. regardless of Commissioner Mears' statements. every Ala kan knows that conditions under which the work is being done will only
 etard the construction of the Al aska railroad. The first condition. 5f course. is the providing of money for the work, but it now seems that that will be forthcoming readily. An 1ther condition, and a very impor tant one, Is the shipping For every
 hing for construction work in the nature of iron work and machinery. has to be brought in from the Out
 idle. But, providing the approprI@ ,ions are made as needed and ms terial can be brought in from tn, Outside as rapidly as it can be pu 10 use. no other condition shoult hinder the work, although COmmis sioner Mears is quoted as saying that the nature of the country il the vicinity of Turnagain Arm will slow it up. For men are plentiful and more could be employed for q h hp, Fa 1,,,, time
 At variou- times since he has been among us, we have interviewed Com missioner Thomas Riggs regarding the time that the railroad would be completed But in interrogatinp the commissioner on that point we have always felt like we were ask ing foolish question number umpty- steen" or something to that effect. For in asking it we knew that Com missioner Riggs would not eXpre himself only insofar as he knew, o perhaps in regard to the time he hoped that the road would be com pleted.
 We interviewed Chairman Ede along the same line last summe and felt the same way in asking the question. For we knew we would receive practically the same kind of an answer to our question a. we had received from Commis sioner Riggs and we did. There
 ore, had we interviewed Comm:s sioner Mears on the subject and re ceived the answer he apparent! gave to his lnterrogators at Seward and Seattle, we would have receiy ed a distinct shock. And we prob ably would have done just as di, those newspaper men who inter viewed him spread the interview broadcast quoting Commi sione. Mears for every word.
 Therefore the prediction made b. | Commissioner Mears is the only one which has been forthcoming from member of the Engineering comis- sion For neither of the other com missioners has been quoted any where as saying just when the rail road would be completed, as far a we have been able to learn. But are Fairbanksans going to sit baC ! and wait for the completion of tht railroad in 1920 or 1921, or are the. going to try to do something to g., that coal before the time that Cor missioner Mears predicts that thc railroad will De in operation? Its need was never more fully demon strated than it has been during the past few days, with numerous busi- ne houses on the verge of closing on account of the fact that wooC was not obtainable at any reasonable price. The question is, are Fair banksans going to endure anothe sudden cold spell of the same kind in the same manner that they hay, endured this one, if they can held it

Sotldl'u lItSS Sllhp4H SHPFltaltHt'H tho-e messages sent out with the word flash" Which is a magic word insofar as telegraph operators and others handling news dispatches are concerned. when dispatches are sent out by The Associated Press. and is the req. on why The Asso- ciated Press. with its host of core. spondents and it's leased wires, is able to give out domestic news from one to three hours, and foreign news from six hours to two day, ahead of all competitors.
 That is the reason why The Cjr zen chose The Associated Press from the multitude of other correspond ents. both public and private. which 1t might have had as correspond ent when the daily service was in augurated. And that is the req on why The Citizen, at all times, is prepared to give it's readers tn first news of events of worldwide interest.
 We would offer only one apology for The Associated Press, and thai s in regard to Alaska news of par ticular interest to Ala kans. We refer to the dispatch received by our evening contemporary regarding the request of Secretary of the In terior Franklin K. Lane for an ap- propriation of s1O,OOO,OO0 for con struction work on the Alaska rail road
 To The Associated Press Alaska is no different from any other part of the country. That is, it fails to realize in the worldwide perform ance of it's duty that Alaska news. such a. above referred to, is Of par tcular interest to Alaska neWSpa- pers. Had it done so, the private cores spondent of our evening con temporary would have had no chance whatever of "scooping" us with hi dispatch. For The Associated Press man on the job in Seattle would have simply marked the mes. age to us flash" and said dispatch would have come through to us undelayed, IS have the dispatches referring to the fall of Bucharest and the resig- nation of Premier Asquith, two events of worldwide importance and inter est.
 Ordinarily we would not admit that we were scoOped on such an inn portant news item as the request of Secretary Lane in regard to the Alaska railroad appropriation. And we only do so now with the full in tention of bringing the matter to the attention of The As ociated Press, so that the service may be improved to the extent of getting Alaska news first all the time.
 And then again, the reliability of news dispatches sent out by Tn Associated Press is unquestiOnable. As stated in it's prediction state ment of the manner in which it in tended to collect election news, The Associated Press mu | be sure" before it makes announcements regarding events in the happenings of the world.

by Manager %. C. Harris in the
Casino. By means Of numerous at
tachments one operator can produce
the same effect asa ten-piece orches-

the music to the nature Of whatever
scene in the motion play is being
depicted. 1t is the last word in mu-
steal invention and Manager Harris
displays great enterprise in securing
such an instrument for the pleasure
of his patrons. During all this week
he will play any piece Of music that
may be desired. If anyone wishes to
hear any special selection rendered,
he or she need only leave the name
of the piece at the box Office, and it
will be played.
