ALASKA PRESS GIVES
 ENDORSEMENT TO R. R.
 TERMINAL PROPOSAL

proposal launched by the Chamber of Commerce some weeks ago is receiving the en- dorsement of the press thru Icut the Territory. The Juneau Empire, Stroller's Weekly and other leading journals have either commented favorably on the proposal or reprinted articles detailing the broader aspects of the plan. In so far as the Herald has observed there has been no unfavorable comment in any quarter, al- though the general tone of ed itorial observations appear to indicate that the writers have failed to grasp the tremendous importance to Alaska of hav- ling a transcontinental railway terminal within the Territorial borders. It is, therefore, doub- gratifying to find a journal of such wide circulation and in- fluence, as the Alaska Weekly giving the proposal unquali- fled endorsement and encour- aging every possible support and assistance. It says:
 We were at first inclined to look askance at the enthusiasm over the possibility of Hyder becoming a transcontinental railroad terminus. Not that we question it's feasibility, but we have suffered so many griev- fous dissapointments in con- nection with proposed Alas kan development which ap- appeared entirely justified and practical and held every promise of being profitable as well, that while our faith re- mains unshaken, we are not so easily enthused as we once were.
 Whenever you get in that state of mind just talk to a real sourdough there must be something in the very air of Alaska which keeps the we'll spring of optimism always fresh and sparkling. w. L. Balch, we'll known Alaskan and just now one of the lead ing spirits of that crowd of live wires who constitute the Hy- der Chamber of Commerce was in to see us and we can see the glistening miles of steel and the train loads of fish and concentrates, and the shops and all that goes with a rail- road terminus.
 This is no idle delusion of an optimistic hysteria but poss- ibility, and one, the accomp- Ilishment of which, would be of tremendous value to all Alaska.
 l This is exactly the sort of thing for which Alaska needs an All-Alaska Chamber of ICommerce. In the absence of Isuch a body individual organ Iizations in the various cities of Alaska should put their re- sources, financial and influent- Iial at the disposal of Hyder and help them to go out and get transcontinental railroad for Alaska.
