COLONEL PERKINS PROMISES
NEW STEAMSHIP COMPANY
TO CATER TO THE NORTH
Colonel ShihucI A. Perkins, Tacowa
Capitalist, ami Associates to De
velop Alaska.
Col. S. A. Perkins, the Lord North
clilT-Willlani Randolph Hearst of the
northwest in that he was the tlrst
owner and operator of a string ot
newspapers in that part of the coun
try, was here this week on his pri
vate yacht, the El Prlmoro, having
come north to look over a mining
proposition in which he is Interested
at Hawk Inlet and to give this por
tion of Alaska the once over with the
view of wet nursing it from its pres
ent Kip \Y'. slumber of inertia and
inactivity.
I'ntil its mountains 3kip like rams;
And all its little hills like lauilis.
Col. Perkins was very much pleased
with the outlook for a paying min
ing proposition at Hawk Inlet and
was confident the mining expert who
accompanied him for the purpose
of examining the ptoperty, L. A. Le
vensaler. will sanction further and
extensive tunneling and otiier de
velopmeut work.
Col. Perkins is pres.dent and man
ager of a number of wealthy corpor
ations that contemplate assembling
n umber of mining propositions In
Alaska, expertlng and developing
thorn. In fact, he stated Thursday
night that his mining department is
in the market for anything that
looks good.
But the biggest proposition look
ing toward the development of Al
aska that Col. Perkins is now con
sidering—in fact, it is past the con
iidering stage an .lis now under
way—is the putting on of a line of
steamships by the Alaska Transpor
ation Company, of which he is pre
sident. to operate between Tacoma,
Seattle and Juneau, arrangements
laving advanced to the point where
lie feels justified in asserting that a
3.50U-ton steamer will be operated
jii the route next season. In this
renture he is associated with a num
jer of capitalists and ample money
las been raised for carrying it to a
mccessful issue.

BRIDGE ENGINEER
IS RETURNING EAST
FROM INSPECTION IMP
Angler Says Conservation Is a Curse
to Alaska—Country Hhs Great
Promise.
\V. E. Angier, consulting engineer,
who arrived in Seattle from Alaska,
where he Inspected the work that Is
now In progress in connection with
the construction of the big Tannna
river bridge, says he had found the
work much more advanced than he
had expected and he spoke In hlglie>t
terms of the manner in which the big
undertaking is going forward.
The plans and specifications of the
big steel structure were drawn up In
the offices of the Chicago engineer-:
ing firm in which Mr. Angier is as
sociated with Ralph Modjeski, son of
the late Mms. Madjeski, and one of
the foremost bridge engineers in the
country. ThiB firm also drew up the
specifications of the Hurrican gulch
structure, and Mr. Angier made a trip
to Interior Alaska two years ago pur
posely to select the bridge sites and
detertmlnte the kind of bridges re
quired. He arrived in April, 1920, in
tending to remain to make a study
of conditions during the breakup,
but bis stay was cut short by the
coming of the flu epidemic.
The Tanana river bridge, Mr. An
gier lays, will be a sample straight
truss structure, with the second long
est span in the world, the longest be-1
ing the Metropolis, Illinois bridge, a
span of 720 feet.
Mr. Angier believes that Alaska
has a substantial future ahead of it.
Conservation, in the opinion of the
engineer, has had much to do with
retarding the development of the ter
ritory. He believes the same oppor
tunities should be given for the de
velopment of the territory, as were •
given to those who pioneered the
way to the Pacific coast. "Why," he
pointed out by way of illustration,
"you can't eien luke up a decent
size homestead In Aluska, and the
government makes you obtain a per
mit to take an old brown bear skill
out of the territory." These restric
tions, and others, be thinks, tend to
keep people out of the country. De
velopment Is bound to come In any
event, he thinks, but the opening up
of the country would be much more
rapid and more generally satisfac
tory were a liberal policy to be
adopted by the government.
