WASHINGTON. March 3i.-HeIt-
can Ambassador Bonillas has no ad-
vices regarding the reported negotfa-
tons. but asked Mexico City for In
formation. II is known here that the
Mexican view is that the transfer OF
property TO Japanese citizens or com
panies Is not in violation of the Mon
roe doctrine. The Mexic<-ns point to
the increasing Japanese interest in all
South American west coast countries.
and particularly TO the recent an
nounced Brazilian concession to Japan,
as grounds for such action.
Japanese Ambassador Ishii declined
10 discuss the reported deal. The
JaEaness, il Is learned in Diplomatic

sactions in Latin America are purely
commercial and can be given no poll

and ia as follows, as printed on Satnr- day, December 18th, 1918:-
 Agitation has started, looking to the completion of the unfinished DOT tion of the railway line between Sew and the Matanuska coal fields, and the construction of dockage facilities for Anchorage, before any more construc- ton work is done on the road toward the intcrio~. It is pointed out by local business men who have made some thing of study of the railway situa- tion. that the congress will approprl- ate but four million dollars for con struction work next year. This four million dollars will exhaust the orig inal appropriation of $35,OoO.OOO ask cd for when the railway bill passed the congress. Hence, it will become necessary to complete the line to the interior This is the situation that confronts us, frankly stated.
 "It is the opinion of these local business men, who are vitally concern. cd, in financial way, in Anchorage and in this section of the country, that it would be the part of wisdom on the part of the Alaskan Engineer ing Commission. if it would employ Inc four million dollars to complete the work nhand assuming that four million dollars will do it. We could then go to congress and say that we have so many miles of completed rail way line in operation; we have con structed a road from the coast 70 the Matanuslta coal fields; we have finish ed dockage facilities at Anchorage to handle the coal product, and now we want so much to complete the line to the interior country.
 The question resolves itself into this: Can we secure better results from the congress by going before it and saving that we have so many miles of completed railway line in active operation the year round. and that we have finished the line to the coalfields, and installed adequate doc',aee facilities at Anchorage, the coal terminal. Or, that we have a railway line partially completed fo'

"SIother" White gained her nam, by her acts, her great generosity, an, the good she did in ;all directions especially to the prospector ana tn, miner. There are scores of prospect ors in Alaska who will revere he memory, for no matter what they ask ed in the way of grub stake, financial aid to reach a new strike, or even slight assistance, "Mother" White gave it.
 "Mother" White came to Alaska in 1894 and located on Cook Inlet at Ladd's landing. Two years after Mar. tha Susitna White was born, now Mrs. Frank Cotter, and known to her int mate friends as Babe. Mrs. Cotte' was the first white child to be born on Cook Inlet.
 Mother" White has been in this section of the North since her ayriva' going outside frequently for shor visit, but always returning.
 "Mother" White is one of the fey women in America who has eve been given a gold medal from the Congress of the United States and also a suit. able resolution, also passed by the body.
 About 30 years ago, Danish bark piled up on the rocks near Cohasset Beach, Washington. The waves were rolling so high that it was impossible to even launch the life boats on shore to give assistance to the scamen or the bark and death faced them, Mother" White went to the rescue however, and the 13 men aboard lateg reached shore, safely. Mrs. White tied a rope around her waist. and dived in' to the breakers. swan through the surf and after terrific struggle wi,h the clements reached the bark. Skc was hauled aboard and the rope she swan with from shore was made fast and by it all seamen reached tho shore. Mrs. White, a powerful swim mer, would not use the rope in re- turning, but after a short rest, ard after the seamen had left the bark, she again dived into the water and

COMPLETE n.R. FROM SEWARD 10 GOAL
 FIELDS FIRST

Just one week ago tonight the Seward Chamber of Commerce awoke 'rom slumbering, and in one s"oop descended down upon the Alaskan .,acinoering Commission, and after un- animously passing resolution de- mand'ng that the Alaskan Engineer ng Commission complete the railroad between Seward and the coal fields be- ,3va other work was attemptci t"nt Gics to Delegate Wickersham and friendly Senators of Alas',a at Wash ,7g,on, 3. C., Informing them oS."hat vas being urged.
 There are those in Seward who took 'rastic opposition to the position Of he Seward Chamber of Commerce, aying that such a step as taken would njure the chances of securing the lest appropriation amounting to &,02000O .o complete the railroad. It was the ame old subterfuge but Seward had aken tho step, the cablcgramS he'd been sent, and everybody, except few. knew that the step was 10 tri- val one.
 But Seward did not tske the :oitl. atiye as many believe. Oh. no. The people of Anchorage had begun :2 wonder about things, and began ask. ing themselves questions as to "w1erc hey were at" The people of Anchor lge found themselves in a peculiar position, surrounded by ice and snow, ut off from the world by water and qlso cut off from rail through unfr'- Tied promises that the railro9j be- ,wecn Anchorage and t''a cacHn Ger minus Seward, would lc oper. Y. "ow. Railroad matters assumed 2 1'' o. mt view at Anchorage, that is f2" lso 7coplo. Splendid yards, plenty cf ro'j' nC stock, branch roads in all direct ions, but starting at AnchoraCa end roing no where in other words the people of Anchorage were all d"eSsc; up and TO place to go, figuratively speaking.
 Then tho Anchorage Times fatSon- ad the position and condition. II was a hard pill to swallow, but a medicine for the disease must be fornd, then taken.
 Thus it was that Anchorage sor ot took the lead, but there are those ic Seward who believed that the action ! ,f the Chamber of Commerce was solely local, not logical, etc.
 But as shown in yesterdays Gate way, in an editorial from the Ketchi- ,an Progressive Miner that newspaper sook a fall out of the Alaskan Engin- eering Commission. So one can see that Stewards action is a territorial one, and before the matter is tabled, the government railroad in Alaska, will become a national matter.
 But returning to the Anchorage Times editorial it explains itself, rhows that the government railroad IS worthless in it's present state; shows that the railroad must be completed to Seward, to be of any consequence az all, and makes demand, the same as the Seward Chamber of Commerce about the remaining $4,000,O00. The Anchorage Times editorial is under the caption of "COMPDETE THE ] UNFINISHED PORTION FIRST"
