ALASKA DESERVES
TRUNK RAILROAD
Former Newspaper Man of Alas
ka Ridicules Purohase of
Copper River Road
Sam W. Wall, a former well
known Alaska newspaper man,
finds amusement in a recent
story published, In I he effect
"that the Guggenlieinis will not
resist an efTort of the goVcrn
inent to take over I ho Qppper
River and Northwestern railway."
"If the government is making
any such effort it will be interest
ing news in Alaska, and it would
be worth a trip up there to*be
present when the news is receiv
ed," said Mr. Wall "That a piece
of news like this should be sent
out from Washington in appar
ent seriousness is amazing to
persons at all acqipiainted with
the situation it pertains to. l'nr
the government to purchase this
railroad would be for the CSug
genheimg to get bark the twenty
million iuvesleil in il ami In have

This <iiiggi'iihcim railroad does

I set out lo do. Thai branch, hall-I
led by I In* Cunningham scandal,
would remain lo he buill. The ■
road j'iiiis lo Hit; CSugg •nlicini J
copper mines and nowhere else.:
"Secretary Fisher went all ov- I
or the ground last summer," con
tinued Mr. Wall, "and reported in
ruvor of the Matanuska coul as
superior to that near 0»ntroller
bay. If any bentdll accrues lo
Alaska from the existence of the

have it—thai road is built. With

"What Alaska wants is a road

SLIGHT MISHAP ON
THE AL.A8KA NORTHERN
A seclion power car, on which
was riding Charles Osborne, ran
into Ihc small auto car last Sat
urday, near .the noon hour, at
mile 14, of the Alaska Northern.
Osborne was conveying luncheon
from camp to his crew, working
some miles distant, and the auto
was returning from the front.
Thero is a curve in the road at
this point, which hid each car
from the view of the other. As
is customary, before rounding the
curve, the nuto car blew its whis
tle, and this was the flrst inti
mation Osborne had of its pres
ence. As the point was round
ed, Frank Nickorson, the chauf
feur, sighted the approaching
section car, and immediately
stopped his vehicle, through a
failure <>f n brake on llie section
car to ipiitkly respond, the inn ■

bumped into the auto. Osborne i
jumped ofT before I ho impact
came, but failed to clear hik enr,

FLOATING STORE

Jack Cann and Lee (jood have
secured the large Reynolds barge
which they will low to Shoup bay,
where it will be anchored at a
sufficient depth of water to per

plying in those waters. On the
barge will be erected a roailhouse
and store where travelers can be
accommodated day or night. They
will also have their power launch
and a number of small boats to
rent. The venture will prove a
great accommodation to the pub

ROUGH ON WILSON.
Tin* following is mil! of a scries
of articles appearing in (he
Hearst papers, taken from a work
on political economy written by
the presidential candidate. To
these articles, more than any oth
er thing, NVoodrow Wilson owes
his probable defeat next inoiith in
lta)t iniore:
Now Wood row Wilson's more or
less famous "History of the Amer
ican People" i* coming forth to
pester tiis presidential eamlidaoy,
(ieorge Fred Williams, the can
tankerous Massachusetts Deino
jcrat, has dragged the volume*
i forth to disturb the consistency,
jor, rather, I In* lack of it, in <Jov,
i Wilson's political postures am!
i postnlates. Williams has written
!a letter to former Senator Petti,
{grew, of South I >;i k • > I it. ill wllicll
j lie says:
"Since we visited flow Wilson
i last summ/ur and carried away
• such pleasant impressions of hi.*
i personality and conversation, I
have had hopes thai he might hi'
it lie solution of our presidential
' problem.
"This week I have been slioek
:ed at the reading of the IIfill vol
Innie of his story of the American
|people, published in 11X12. It is
itoryism of the blackest type. It is
not a history of the American pen
I pie, hul a history of Woodrow
I Wilson's admiration for every
thing which the radical democ
racy now seeks to change.
"The worst is that there is not
a note of sympathy for any suf
fering and protesting class, but
he seems to search for phrases to
show his contempt for them.
"(iov. Wilson has undoubtedly
changed materially his old point
of view, but his book proves that
a revolutionary change of heart
is also necessary."
Williams quotes Wilson's par
agraph on immigration as fol
lows :
"The f'.hinese were more to be
desired as workmen, if no| citi
zens, than most of the coarse
crew that came crowding in ev
ery year."
"(Jrovor Cleveland," Mr. Wil
liams says, "Mr. Wilson Ironls
throughout us a somewhat god
like person nnfl finds nothing In
erificiup in his entire political
rourse."
Regarding Iho pension ques
tion, flow Wilson thus Is quot
ed:
"Hofh Hnmorralir house nnd
Ropuhlienn senate fin 1RHr>^ wore
inelinod fo grant nny mnn or elnss
i»T men who liad served in tho
federal army durinpr Iho civil wnr
Iho right to ho supported onl of
iho nnlional treasury, nod Mr.
"Jlovelnnd himself very resolutely
'hooked iheir oxlrnvaganro."
In resume #»f llw rasp of fSnv.
IVilsnn, Mr. Williams eoncludes:
"II is clear Ihnl ho has hnd
irnfnnnd oonlompl for iho Fnrm
