No. III FORMATION OF THE ALASKA CENTRAL RAILROAD
No. III

Fabulous gold discoveries at Dawson and on other parts of the Northern Yukon River and its tributaries brought the prob- lem of transportation from the Pacific to the Interior of Alaska into national prominence during 1900 and 1901. Many schemes for building railroads from some ice-free Alaskan port to the Golden Heart were proposed and promoted. One of these plans resulted in the location of the City of Seward.
 w. H. Whittlesey. writing in the Pathfinder, May 1920, tells how group of Seattle men, most of whom had been Klon- dike prospectors, formed the Alaska Central Railroad Co. in 1901 Original interested parties, according to Whittlesey, were Charles M. Anderson, a civil en- gineer who had spent a season at Rampant; John H. McGraW, former governor of the State of Washington; and Col. E. M. Con- rad, another prominent Seattle ite. These three men enlisted the financial support of John E. Ballaine, recently returned from service as an officer in the Spanish-American War; and also of George w. Dickinson, former traffic manager for the Northern Pacific Railroad. Other invest ors joined the group, and pres ently offices were opened in the old Denny Block in Seattle, with John E. Ballaine as manager, as sisted by his brother, Frank l.. Ballaine Charles M. Anderson occupied adjoining offices in the capacity of chief engineer, and ". H.

 Two survey parties were or ganized in Seattle, one to start from the north, in the vicinity Of the present town of Nenana; the other to start from the south from a point on Resurrection Bay.
 The northern party left Seat tle in February, 1902, under William c. Atwood, and after

Lindsey Questions Legality of
 Taxi Ordinance

Legality of city ordinance No. 179 was questioned Wednesday by Cecil Lindsey, who was re- fused a business license by the City Clerk. Lindsey wishes to operate taXicab company which would become the fifth licensed company in the city, in violation of the present ordi- nance.
 Dated February Is. 1948. Or dlnance 179 limits the number of companies operating taxicabs to four to serve the city while the population is 20OO or less within the corporate limits. It provides for the licensing of an additional company when the population reaches 25O0. and an increase of one with each in- crease of 800 in population. There Is no restriction placed upon the number of cabs to be operated, although each indi- vidual cab stand is limited to the space of two cars.
 A special meeting of the coun- Gil was called at 10 m. Wedncs- day to discuss the matter with Lindsey. The city clerk stated that Lindsey made application at her office on May 7, at which time he was informed that he would have to have the consent of the council, which was meet ing that night, but he failed to appear at the meeting.
 Other ordinances provide that cab operators must clear with local and federal law enforce ment agencies before being granted license to operate public conveyance Neither Mar shal Metcalf nor Chief Greene has given such clearance for Lindsey.
 Lindsey stated that Ordinance, 179 is not legal, and that he would invoke the Sherman Anti Trust Act by bringing suit against the city if the question is not settled Monday night If you can straighten this up by Monday, all right" Lindsey stated. But if you don't, (cen- sore6 you will pay me for every day that you keep me out of business. You can't keep me from starting a new taxi com pany."
 The special meeting was ad- journed after a motion was passed to table the application for study and to secure legal advice, and to be continued be- fore a full council at the next regular meeting.

TRAIGHT
AHEAD"
BY Julius j. Adams

New York City - Three weeks
ago, Global News Syndicate, spon-
sored a Press and Public Relations
Conference and Newspaper Work

topics including 'The Role of the
Class or Community Newspaper in

Looking back over that project,
it is apparent that one very i'm
portant item that has beWildered
many newspaper readers was not
emplored. The item has to do with
what might be called "credit for

Several years 40, when I was

in the country, a delegation of
men and women visited me to COM

convenience.
He asked me what my new rea-
sons were and I told him frankly
what I have outlined above in
numbers one through ten. Then
the entire atmosphere changed.
Suddenly no one could be located
in the United States Army.
General Graham was entertain
ing another general and too busy
to see me. Col. Mcnamara was not
tc be found. Col. Roman was miss
ing. I asked to talk with Captain
Cisco, the nurse, and said I simply
wanted to ask her what her COM
plant was against the colored
captain. It was nine o'clock Sunday
morning but no one could locate
Captain Cisco despite the fact that
she is a nurse and lives in the
nurses quarters. I asked to talk
with the man to whom Col Ro-
main issued the order to chastise
the white officers for bringing the
colored officers in the club. The
club officer, a Major Eason, re-
membered Captain Ciscos protest
but no one could find either the

Capital Spotlight
By Louis Lautier
For the NNPA News Service

For whom is Walter White
working - the New York Herald
Tribune or the NNACP?
The Herald Tribune received and
published (July 23) his report on
the Cicero riots before the Board
OF Directors of the NAACP had a
chance to see it, although, presum-
ably, he went to Chicago in his
official capacity and at the expense
of the NAACP.
In $50 when Walter was re-
turned to his job as NAACP execu-
tive secretary, if memory serves
me Alright, it was understood that
Walter was to drop his part-time
employment as newspaperman and
given prominence to the name of
one of the best known men in the
community in connection with the
settlement of a long fight to secure
jobs for Negroes as drivers on
the city buses.
The spokesman for the delega-
ton pointed out that the fight
against the Jim Crow policy cf
the coach companies had been in
itiated by one of it's members, and
had been waged by the committee
it represented. He said the indivi-
dual to whom credit for success
Of the fight was apparently given
in the news story, had contributed
practically nothing to the effort,
The spokesman was right in a
way, but his argument overlooked
one significant journalistic fact:
namely, names make news"
The committee that performed
the actual work in the fight had
made the mistake of bringing the
"big name" man into the peace
table talks, and had allowed him
to have his picture taken with the
bus company officials.
Because of his prominence in
the community, he was better
known to the officials and in the
settlement he became the spokes-
man. Hence, reporters at the meet
ing gave him all the credit He
obviously dominated the picture.
The lesson to be learned in this
case, and the point that the Global
pdoject might have stressed, is
that names make news, and that
build-up for leadership shares i'm
portance with ability itself.
