A river. It is alwu;..- good Ucy to cat -r to tue desires of the large major
City of the traveling public.
9 That portion of Anderson's interview is trie, \v ere be S&ya, "The Gov
^ernment Railroad does SOME good, cf coarse." Let us hope it does, for
" it has coat the government and the taxpayer a !u-- p of money. But when
the settlers along the river have to d rend on the steamer General Jacobs,
which Anderson suggests the government s' ou!d operate in connection with
he new railroad, he is edging buck mighty near to the \V. P. & Y. Route
nail launch service, which he erroneously claims is the only Duwson-Taa
ma service other than the rowboats and rafts. When the poor little "Ja
:obs" is compared with the White Pass Steamer ALASKA, It is about liko
omparing the old Fori Seward Harbor Bout Peterson, with ti.e C. P. K.
luer, Princess Louise.
In conclusion, we would suggest that the Juneau Empire verify the
itatements made by persons anxious to burst Into print, and thus sustain It*
reputation of "All the News All the Time," and that Anderson should con
hue himself to tuning pianos, and not make an attempt at becoming a diag
nostician of seeming transportation ailments, especially vrhere no ailment
exists.
ALASKA'S COAL LAW
Once an idea is imbedded in the
mass mind of the public it perslsis
in remaining in its position. That
is why some people still may be
heard reciting the charge that the
natural resources .of Alaska are be
ing turned over to "big interests"
at the expense of the nation.
Never uioro then a casual thought
has beeu required to briug forth
this wail in it true light, which
npproache* the ridiculous. Recent
events connected with development
•f the Alaskan coal fields should
therefore, emphasize facts so that
they never again will be misin
terpreted.
For years a misguided school of
thought has bent Its every offort in
seeking to convince the nation that
the "vast coal deposits of Alaska"
wore well on their way to total
monopolization by the "lords of the
coal Industry."
Now comos the broadcasting of a
fact long recognized by the more
rational of folks, which shows that
business men will not undertake
the development of Alaska's coal
deposits under Hie provisions of the
Federal Leasing Law, simply be
cause such development under the
conditions imposed would prove op
[crat.oti unprofitable.—From Minln..:
