ALASKA EXPOSITION .NEXT
After the Sau Francisco Panama
Pacific Expositiou the Alaska Ex
lesition. And more than that, :t
is tc Dc an AU-Alaskan Exposition.
Properly speaking, it is to bo a
chaiu of celebrations in all of the
cities in the territory, the idea be
iug that the tourist will be put on
a S'.'rt of exposition circuit and
show all of the wonders and re
sources of the country Joi succes
sion.
Juneau, Skagway, Wrangell, Fair
banks an I Ketchikan are all woik
iiig enthusiastically in partnership
and without the slightest jealousy
to evolve such a plan, according to
advices from Seattle, which, as the
principal handler of the tourist
stream to the Northwest country, is
pushing the idea along for all it is
worth through its Chamber of C->im
meree.
Already the year li>17 has been
selected fcr the eveut, as it will he
the fiftieth anniversary year of
the acquisition of Alaska as a
territory by the United States. The
exact date will be some time in
early summer, still to be determined
lira-ills
importance. The Alaskans will let
their mountains and forests pre
sent their wonders for themselves.
In fact this celebration is be
lli^ conceived as more than a show.
Especial effort is to be made to
attract visitors who may settle in
the fertile valleys and share in the
development of a country that is
destined to make many of its citi
zens, wealthy. There is to be an
earnest effort to awaken the people
o? the States to the fact that Al
aska is not a half frozen land with
gold as its only attraction. And in
so far as this semi-centeunial cele
bration may accomplish a useful
purpose it will be more worth while
that the ephemral White Cities
whose uses and population vanish in
a night.—New York Sun.
-NO HASTE, .NO WASTE
With au early winter in sight,
the old-timers are beginning to
make remaiks about the probability
or the government changing some
of its plans in regard to permanent
construction at Anchorage after the
commissioners get a glimpse of
Cook Inlet at its worst, all of
which makes the following remarks
apropo, says the Alaska Evening
Poet ot Seward of Sept. 21:
The engineering commission has
not so far made any rash steps in
the permanent improvement* any
where on the line.
Anchorage is the logical plate
froc> which to commence the con
struction of the interior section of
the railroad and so far the commis
sion has made no improvements at
Anchorage which would not be nec
essary were it only to be a construc
tion headquarters.
Reports last year ware not suf
ficient to warrant a conclusion as
to the average conditions at Anchor
age or the type of construction nec
essary should it bo deemed advis
able »o make permanent improve
ments there. Desiring an expert's
opinion on the matter of docks, the
commission called in one from the
navy department who has completed
bis inspection and left.
What conclusions have been
reacaed or what will be decided af
ter this "winter will deteminq the
future policy of the commission.
The same cautious procedure is
being shown in the plan of relocat
ing tU*? line of tho Alaska Northern.
It was first contended that an en
tirely new route should be picked
beyond Mile 45. Chairman Edes
stated recently that careful re-sirr
v ys of the route show that the
original locators of the Alaska
Central did not miss tho most feas
ible route by very; many rods, Of
course the 'road will stand the elim
! in-ation of many trestles and curves
■ and the loops can Jjo made loss
spectacular and more practical.
In the meantime Alaska is to
I be congratulated on that, contrary
| to the reputation gained by the
j government of handling projects
"pork bairel" styles tho Alaskan
engineering commission has not
wasted little, if any, of tho first
$3,0o0,0t>0 eutrusted to it by con
| grres.
