and Seward rs the ocean terminal
of the railroad. Seward is on Res
direction Bay and has a fine har-
Dor. Anchorage is not as good but
shows great possibilities of dcvel-
opment. The growth of Anchorage
was made to order. 1t is railroad
town built by engineers who want
ed to construct the railroad in two
sections.
Seward was the terminal of the
old Alaska Northern, Guguenheim
and Morgan property, which was
taken over as speculative props3-
ltion, and the government was in
duced to buy it when it decided to
build the railroad.
Every one now admits that the
government was "stung' when it
paid more than million dollars
for the property, as the whole line
had to be scrappcd and rebuilt and
even the route changed in some
places. That is one of the scan
dals' about which Alaskan3 talk in
connection with the railroad.
Anchorage has been given govern
mcnt aid, as official wish to make
it sea terminus. That means
gradual death by decay to Seward.

FAIRBANKS, Alaska, July IT,
Having studied The Alaskan rail
road over its entire length and OBJ
served closely the possibilities of
growth and development, President
Harding is committed to maintcn-
anec of the road in the most econ
omical possible fashion until q
broader program is warranted.
He believes the present and the
immediate future promises nothing
in the way of development of the
vast stretches of country thrcGgh
which the line runs from Seward to
Fairbanks.
Even development of the tourist
possibilities of the southern portion
depends on furnishing adequate
water transportation which is not
now existing in way to make
travel northbound attractive.
Mr.. Harding probably viii ask
congress to pay the deficit of the
Alaskan railroad this year; but he
urges here that tie deficits be kept
at the lowest possible figaro.

$1,50O,ooo this year. Officialq
