and no more. When the ,hearings
 on the Alaska Railroad act were going
 on before the House and Senate com
 mittees of Congress, I gave President
 Wilson letter, which is in the official records, saying that Tn the event of
 the designation of Seward as the
 ocean terminus of the proposed gov
 ernment railroad, the government
 could have any or all of the property
 I owned there at it's own price. I said
 further that I was sure every other
 owner of property in Seward was
 ready to make the same offer
 But when the government bought
 the Alaska Northern, that railroad
 company had 560 acres of terminal
 lands at the head of the bay, and 60 acres adjoining Seward on the north. 
 Besides, the government itself owned
 all the rest of the land on the shores of Resurrection Bay, totaling not less than 10000 acres The government therefore did not need and never asked for any part of my property in Seward, nor the property of any other owner except the site on which the depot was built. I delivered my share of the 10 lots for that site as free gift, but the government insisted on paying me $1Oe for the five lots deed- ed because it was against govern mental policy to accept real estate as a gift.
 Not only did the government not ask any property in Seward at any price except the site for the depot, but on the recommendation of Lieutenant Mears of the Alaska Engineering Com mission, when the government bought the Alaska Northern Railroad it de- clined to accept the 460 acres of rail- road terminal grounds which the Alas ka Northern owned, and allowed the Canadian owners to keep all of the 560 acres The government could have had the whole 560 acres at no extra cost. But Lieutenant Means was per suaded by the people who rushed to the present site of Anchorage that an a1l-year open port could be maintained there, and he proceeded to build ter minals at that place.
 "In addition to these facts, every body who has read the Alaska Rail- l road act knows that it contains a pro- vision specifically giving the govern ment the right to condemn any prop erty it might require for railroad purposes, and take it over at it's own price It might interest the people of Anchorage to know that I myself wrote that provision, as I did most of the provisions of that act, on the re- quest of Senator Chamberlain of Ore gon, who introduced it in the Senate Under that provision, the government can today, or any day in the future, condemn and take over any parcel of ground in Seward or anywhere on Resurrection Bay at anyprice it sees fit to pay, without consulting the owner.
 T sympathize genuinely and deeply with the people who made big invest ments and suffered heavy losses in the Anchorage terminal fiasco, but if they are candid and honest with themselves they will acknowledge that the faulty advice they gave Lieutenant Mears about the possibility of keeping an open harbor on Knik Arm turned out
