MISSIONARY STARTS.
Mr. <). I'. IhibbanI started Sun
<I41.V night mi his missionary trip
to liif national capital to con
vert the heathens there to the
gospel that Yahlez is the logical
coast terniinns f«u* the govern
ment railroad to the interior.
There is 110 question but that tin
gospel he will preach iStlie true
one, hut whether or not it will
prevail remains to he seen, but.
whether or not it does, the money
spent in the endeavor will not
have been wasted, for it is bound
to result in advertising for the
town which will probably be worth
many times the cost.
We believe Mr. Hubbard is the
best man availabhVil this lime'to
do She work. WhiSj he is not a
railroad engineer, he has been in
terested in a railroad project from
Valdez and lias facts and figures
at his command which would take
another many weeks of bard la
bor to acquire. He is familiar
with the ins and outs of Wash
ington and can make himself
beard. If he fails it will not be
because lie has not the facts to
demons!rale that Yahlez is the
best place 011 I he Alaska coast for
the terminus of the coal road, but
because polilcal factors weigh
more than economy when it
conies lo building railroads by the
government in Alaska.
