Is Interviewed Concerning the
Proposed Government Wag
on Re. d from Skagway to
the Summit
Judge James Wlckersi.am, de|»
Kat» to congress from Alaska, and
independent candidate for re-elec
tion, accompanied bjr .V ... Wlcker
stijin, arrived in Skagway from Ju
neau on the Northwestern this
nK>.-nin<: and is stopping at the Gold
en North hotel. jonight at 8:30
lie will deliver an Hn lre.fi to the
voters of Skagway at Elks' hpii in
which he will review he work that
he has alieady been instrumental in
accomplishing for the developmen
and advancement of Alaska and will
also explain his futare intentions
with reference thereto provided that
he is returned, which he is too
modest to predict that he will be,
but of which no well-informed resi
dent of .ho territory, who has ke>t
in touch with public affair*, doubts
in the least.
Before coming to Skagway judge
Wickershani spoke in Keu:hikan,i
Wrangell, Petersburg, Juneau, Siti.a,
Hoonah, Tena*. K>l-SnCO( as w«ll
as at Di:.i y cm aerie r.nd isolated
fishing sc lemcr.ts where boats do
not make .-e^uiur c. :1s, and at »H
of them iie was received with en
thus'as. . and aj.iuranceg of almost
uuanimous support.
As the i>ropoecl government
wagon ro; d between Skagway and
Summit is of more than passing in
terest to the peoplo o« this town,
a Daily Alaskan man asked Judge
Wickers ham what he thought the
show was for its building anyways
sooa. Judge W'cker'h:.m said:
"The recent intern, manifested in
Washington City in respect to a
wagon road from Skagway to the
international boundary lino at Sum
mit grew out of crl . :al indictments
brought bv the ciepr.r .lent of justice
against the Moore's Wharf Co., the
Alaska S. S. Co., and other trans
portation companies for alleged mon
opoHzation of the port of Skagway
against the Humboldt Steamship Co.
"The attorney general of the Un
ited States pert for mo and asked
for information about how to se
cure the opening of the old Brackett
wagon road as an independent line
to the interior. 1 tald him that the
Alaska road commission had suf
ficient funds to make the survey
and advised him to consult with
the war department : nd secure the
co-operation of the *kn road com
mission.
"He took my advicu and sent for
Col. Richardson, head or the com
mission. and consulted him about It.
"The department of justice then
.made a request for the sorre? of
tbe won road, and Col. Richard
son was Instructed to • make such
survey, which he did.
"The department of Justice was
I interested in opening up the yagou
road here ^nd will use Its Influence
to tUat end If th« proper effort Is
made by the people of Skagway, and
I am satisfied that the Alaska road
commission will be instructed to
build the road out 0f the general
appropriation annually made for that
purpose, which amounts to about
$160,000, not Including about
$200,000 which Is annually collected
outside of incorporated towns in
Alaska from the Issuance of licenses
for various kinds of businesses, and
Is also used to build roads and
trails.
"For their work In the territory,
the Alaska road commission has
the disbursement of about $350,000
annsaliy, or about $500 jer day,
ai-d there is no reason whatever
why a part of this money should not
be spent on a project which will
open up a government wagon road
to the international boundary and
prove of incalculable benefit te the
Uwn of Skagway.
"Anything that I can do to con
tinue the interest of the depart
ment of justice in the building of
this wagon road and to secure ad
ditional appropriations as needed,
I will do."
From Skagway Judge Wickersham
will go to Haines tomorrow and
speak there In the evening. Re
turning here he will take the fir«t
boat to the westward where he will
visit V^lde*, Cordova and Seward, at
which latter place he will leave Mrs.
Wickersham until his return from
the interior, which trip will prob
ably not exteiid any furthes than
Fairbanks.
j SEATTLE WILL PROVE GOOD
MARKET FOR ALASKA COAL
Seattle will reciprocate for the
. wealth that the growing North will
pour Into Its lap, according to Dr
Alfred H. Brooks, heed of the geo
logical survey of the territory,
j A student of Northern conditions
: for years, Dr. Brooks declared re
' cently that the Sound's principal
benefit'"'from the establishment of
| the governnmeut's railroads In Al
| aska would be derived from the *"
j tablishment of steel mills on Pug4t
Sound and vicinity.
He pointed out that there are de

the season. Get a box now as they will

posits of iron ore in Washington, I
California and in Alaska, but adds
tfiat "they hare not be^u worked
because no hard coke hag been
available."
Th« MataiiUika fiel Is, he is con-1
lident will supply this lack, and
he anticipates that the government
railroad will furnish the opportunity
for the development of the business,
which, in turn, will lead to the es» :
toblUhment of big bteel mil Id in J
and near Seattle.
Such a jiltuutlen, thinks the Seat- ^
tin Times, would make Seattle the .
biggest customer of the Northern '
coal fields, and the mo3t important'
patron of the federal railway system
It would assure return eargocs fer
all ships plying North—a most de
sirable condition.
With cargoes both ways, the
rate of this coal should be most
reasonable, assuring a desirable
profit to the mine owner and a
cheap fuel product for the sts^l
mills.
