Seeks to Collect Costs from Government


 Visions of section of track or loco motive and string of cars of the govern ment railroad in Alaska being seized by a United States marshal to enforce payment of Judgment in civil suit are conjured up by the visit of John E. Ballane of Seattle to the national capital, according to a Washington dispatch of January 8. Bal laine was one of the promoters of the Alaska Central railroad later the Alaska Northern. purchased by the government es starter for its trunk line. In its contract to pur- chase the road the government permitted the old company to bring suit against Bal ane with the proviso that anything col lected would go to the old owners, Suit
 as brought. It was to recover possession of the townslte of Seward, owned by Bal lane on the allegation that Ballaine used company funds to acquire that toWnslte. The suit was won by Ballaine. Judgment for costs was rendered in his favor Those
 osts amounted to about 10000. W. c. Edes, chairman of the Alaskan engneering commission, IS now the president of the Alaska Northern railroad, all of the stock of which is owned by the government. Mir Ballaine is in Washington presenting his bill of costs in the action. He contends that the owners of the old company, being Cana dians, cannot be mulcted, but that the new owners of the company namely, the United States government, can, and that civil proc esses can run against their railroad the same as against any other successor. The de- Nartment of the interior has referred Mir Ballaine to J. P Cotton of New York, at torney for the Alaskan engineering commis- sion
