of that route, and the superb open harbor of Seward, where vessels of any size may safely come and go eve ry day in the year, it is natural and easy for informed Alaskans of the present day to regard the project as the only logical and sensible solution of problem that was weighted with perplexities at the beginning.
 In view of the long struggle that circumstances compelled me to main tain against every contrivance of op- position that huge financial power and rival self interest could invent or en- list, with it's attendant. vicissitudes, through mazes of ramifications that extended from Alaska to New York and Washington, which involved bank ing, newspaper and political influen- ces in every important city of the con- tinent in Canada as we'll as in the
  resentatiyes and Cabinet Officers and Presidents of the United States in every administration from Theo- dore Roosevelt to Calvin Coolidge, it is justifiable and wholly true to say that the entire history of pioneer de- yelopments west of the Mississippi river furnishes no more striking ex- ample than this Alaska Railroad pro- ject and the founding of Seward where the unanimous judgment of the thou sands on the feasibility of routes was ranged against the judgment of one man at the beginning, and was slowly but surely reversed and ranged on the side if his judgement at the end.
