VAXDE3 ALWAYS A FACTOR
The report that E. C. Hawkins is
trying to induce the mandarins of
the Copper River & Northwestern
railroad to make Valdez the sea ter
minus is not hard to believe because
he lias never made any secret of his
•pinion that Valdez is the logical
port of entry for the bonanza copper
field and the Tanana. Mr. Hawkins
may be in Seattle 011 other business,and
I te reporter who produced the story
may have been taking a long shot, but
he guessed close to the Hawkins view of
fche railroad situation of the Alaska
•oast. ,
Valdez will always be a factor in
fche railroad projects of Alaska. It1
may not get the first nor the second
bat it is the natural gateway to a!
large area of the interior and a rail
road from any other port will cost
more to build and more to operate.
Seveial able locating engineers al
ready know tliis fact and in time cap- i
ital will learn it.
Meanwhile Valdez is not objecting |
to railroad construction from other
ports. Every mile of railroad built
from the coast. develops the territory,
Adds to its population and gives impe
tus to general business. Valdez
has profited indirectly by all the rail- j
road construction so far done. Three j
lowns on the coast have arisen be
cause each has been chosen as the j
terminus of a railroad, but all of them
eombined have less population and
business than Valdez. This town will i
be glad to see them all grow and pros- j
per because it will grow with them, j
They will take nothing from Valdez, j
and some day railroad builders will
notice that a degree of latitude in
travel northward can be attained
more cheaply by an ocean steamer
fchan by railroad track and rolling
atock.
It, is reported that 0,000 idle men in
Seattle demand jobs. With a city
election coming on they ought to be
able to get their board and lodging
for a spell, but maybe voters are not
taking clearinghouse certificates.
The Hkagway Alaskan sent around

LATOUCHE HAS
ANOTHER DOCK
I
The new dock which Charles Teck
lenburg has been building on La
touche island, a short distance south
of Beatson's, was finished and open
i for business last Friday. This dock
j is beside the townsite of Phoenix,
' which already has enough buildings
' to look like a village.
! The dock is 80xliV) foet and has
w'-'>
twenty-three feet of water at low
tide, depth enough to keep the largest
steamers that run to Southern Alas
ka out of the mud. It cost $3300.
Mr. Tecklenburg is the sole owner.
Heretofore steamers have stood
out in the roadstead while transact
ing business with Phoenix, the larger
one 4 keeping out several hundred
yards, and freight and passengers
have had to be carried in small boats.
