Railroad Developing Alaska.
(Cordova Times.)

(CordoVa IlmeS)
 As an aftermath of the recent Senatorial inves- tigation of the Alaska Railroad of the opin- ion that the committee hopes to offer, in its port something constructive in reference to main- tainng and building up the Governments biggest enterprise in this Territory, regardless of what many of our residents thought in the minds of members of the committee before they learned the actual conditions in this Northland Of the great benefit the railroad has been to section of Alaska, some sections more remotely affected than others is acknowledged by all The fact remains that the money invested, and the appropriations necessary for it's proper maintenance have been farreaching in the industrial development of the entire Territory.
 Had not the railroad been built there is no question but what the S14,000,000 invested in the interior by the Fairbanks Exploration Company would have found it's way into other channels; neither would the present quartz development in that section have been continued, well as many many other enterprises that bid fair to furnish ad- ditona tonnage for the road. Even Southeastern Alaska has received rich reward from the furn- fishing of native lumber to interior Alaska mining camps The railroad was not built a commer cial proposition, but to open up Uncle Sam's last frontier This it is doing, although it takes time and a large amount of capital and the outlook for real progress is better now than it has been since the construction of the road
 It is generally admitted that all Government enterprises launched at a greater cost than would be the case if an individual or corporation were the financiers, and we don't suppose the Alaska Railroad is any exception There may have been considerable waste and extravaganza in the expending of Government funds during the struction of the road, and during the early stages of it's operation but all fair-minded people will have to admit that it has been gradually getting down to business basis and is in better shape than it has ever been. Too much credit cannot be given Col Otto F. Ohlson General Manager, for the decided improvement that exists in the conduct of the road and the service rendered the public. He is experienced and efficient railroad man, whose true worth recognized by leading railroad executives long before he to Alaska and is entitled to the support and cooperation of the residents of Alaska, Empire in the Max ing" as J. J. Underwood tersely describes this Northland in his book, by that title.

INLAND WATER TRANSPORTATION
 ON LARGE SCALE BEGINS.

What is promised to be the beginning of great inland water transportation system has been lnaug- urated by a of barges sent out from Clncnnatl for New Orleans The St. Louis and New York capl- tasts at the head of the proposition declare that in short time great fleets of barges will be operated along the Mississippi from the Twin Cities in Min nesota from Kansas City the Missouri and the full length of the Ohio to New Orleans It is the purpose also as soon the Illinois river improve ment is completed to operate the barges to Chi cago The operating concern declares that freight will be carried up and down stream and between intermediate points well terminals
 The companys initial fleet consists of six tow boats capable of pushing twenty or twenty-five 3oo- ton barges upstream and many more than that down stream To begin with four of these will be used between Cincinnati and New Orleans. These craft cost S410000 each and developed 2000 horse power They are 200 feet in length Smaller tow boats and barges will be used tributaries of the Ohio and Mississippi feeders.
 Through an order issued by the Interstate Con- merce Commission July Il, railroads were directed to establish through ralbarge and -barge-rail rates on various commodities between points in central territory on one hand and points in south ern and southwestern territory on the other, in connection with the Mississippi Valley Barge Line Company A willingness to cooperate with the new company has been evidenced by the railroads from the beginning.
 The launching of the new barge line marks the introduction of private capital in the development of an extensive inland waterways transportation sys- tenn step toward which the Government has been working since it first made available compre- hensve freight service the Mississippi River more than ten years ago.

Coast Cities Need Free-Port System.
Seattle Business Chronicle)

Here is something for which the citizens of the Pacific Coast manfestly may work with zeal-the establishment of foreign free ports. The principle of the system is akin to that of milling transit, which extends valued advantages to flour millers. Foreign materials admitted duty-free into restricted comprising the foergn free ports and there manufactured into finished products. Federal jurisdiction is established there may be no abuse of the special privileges.
 Delegates at the recent convention of the North west Rivers and Harbors Congress at Longview heard this proposal advocated. It their hearty support In fact, they became convinced that es- ,tabshment of such free ports on the Pacific Coast would do to expand maritime commerce land give needed industriaizaton than any other proposal yet conceived. resolution urging the National Administration to- plan the establishment lof this system enthusiastically adopted
 The proposal appears to be one of such ar-reach- ling importance that Chambers of Commerce and civic bodies of the Pacific Coast should lose no time in analyzing and putting whole hearted sup port back of it.

REED OF MISSOURI WETTER THAN
 ANYBODY.

Former Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, whose friends still think he would make excellent Presi dental timber sponsoring about the wettest program that has yet been proposed It is believed thai the program will be brought into play plat form from which to wage contest for delegate! to the 1892 Democratic National Convention. United Press dispatch from Washington, sent out just after the great Missourian had returned from Europe, said:
 Former Senator James A. Reed of Mis- souri stood sponsor for one of the strong est anti Prohibition platforms thus far pro- posed. His program calls for:
 l. Immediate repeal of the Volstead Act.
 9 Repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment as soon as possible.
 g. State control of liquor without Fed eral assistance but with each State having authority to seize liquor imported for dis tribution within its boundaries in interstate commerce
 This declaration by Reed who returned several days ago from Europe, places him ahead of other possible Democratic Presi- dential nominees on the Prohibition repeal program.
 "The vostead Act should be repealed immediately Reed declared in announcing his program Tt should have been written in blood by Draco and not by modern Legislature.
 Tt is obvious now that the people of the United States have given this noble experi- ment' a thorough trial and that it has been the most ghastly failure of the cen- tury
 T unhesitatingly say the time has come when Prohibition is bound to be the issue and every person running for office should state his views.
 "The present Director of Prohibition has certified to the absolute failure of Prohibi- tion by saying it cannot be enforced with out the active cooperation of State con- stabularies.
 That means it cannot be enforced un- less the people of a State want it enforced and that we will have Prohibition limited to certain districts"

 Little is known by the public in general of the important part the Lighthouse Service plays in the development of the Territory
 Alaska with it's thousands of miles of coast line, many times greater than the entire coast of the United States it's rugged and forbiddng coast, it's many islands and rocks its bays and inets could never have been developed had it not been charted by the Coast and Geodetic Survey and marked and lighted by the Bureau of Lighthouses. Even then navigation of Alaska waters would not have been safe is today had it not been for the constant work of lighthouse tenders such as the Cedar, and particularly the personel of the service.
 Not only do the tenders render signal service in keeping the various markers, buoys and lights in place and going but many is the time when the tenders have given prompt and efficient assist ance to vessels in distress.
