PROPOSED YUKON POUT.
The resolution introduced iu the
American congress the first of this
month by Senator Smith, of Mary
land, says the Dawson News, pro
posing that the United States sell
the port of Skagway or trade it for
a portion of Canadian territory, is
exciting much comment in Canada
and Alaska. The matter is of par
ticular interest to Yukon Territory
as it would give this territory its
only ocean port on the Pacific. The
territory's northern shores are wash
ed by the Arctic, but Herschel, the
only Arctic port, is only open a
short time iu summer, and is too
remote to bo of great importance.
Yukon Territory needs a port on
the Pacific, if it is obtained, not
only the Canadian Yukon, but also
Alaska, will gaiu. A port there will
draw Canadian railway services |
northward, and help get the railway i
systems and the competition and de- '
velopmeut which the entire North- 1
land must 1 ave in order to prosper.
Some time ago this paper drew at
tention to the fact that a convenient
trade of advantage to both coun
tries could be made by exchanging
Skagway for the strip of Canadian |
territory now barring the Americans
from an all American railway to!
open the White River valley, the i
Tanana valley and all eastern Al- j
If the United States congress pass
es the pending bill for the expen-1
diture of $40,000,000 for a govern
ment railway system for Alaska, so
far as physical conditions and ad
vantages are concerned and so far |
as a centrally located and traffic
producing road is possible, the j
Haines route will be the most de- j
sirable. But to build out from
Haines the Americans now would
have to cross the strip of Canadian
territory projecting westward.
The American Alaska railway sys-;
t^m should start from Haines be
cause it affords the only route back
of the Alaska Alps, and thus the
only route which will not be buried
in biiow through the long winters.
The Copper River road could not j
operate for weeks last winter be-1
cause of being buried under snow
packed like rock. Fairbanks could |
not get mail or other traffic in or
out that way for a long time. The I
Valdez route was used, but it al
so is snowbound much of the time, I
and winter travelers there take
their lives in their hands.
The one route for interior and east
ern Alaska is that from Haines. In
going to White and Chisana It will
have an easy grade, and from there
on can bo continued to Fairbanks, j
Ruby, Koyukuk and Nome, \vill>
branches radiating to every big in- |
terior camp. The American govern- :
nient may build a number of short
lines from coast points inland, but
the one g''eat railway achievement j
of Alaska will not be consummated
until a trunk line runs from Haines
to Nome through all the vast inter- i
ior. But Haines is cut off by the
Canadian stiip. And Yukon Terri
tory—the Canadian Yukon—never,
will get its desired Pacific port uu- ;
til it. gets it from the Americans at I
Skagway, or possibly at Yakatat or
Taku. it is doubtful if Yakatat or
Taku would be practicable and ac-1
cessible for navigation at all times.
To give Canada Skagway would i
mean cedirnr only a few miles of j
mostly ba.ron rocky valley and the i
town of Skagway, a strip 25 miles
or less in length with an average 1
of less than an eighth of a mile in
width, amounting to little more than
landing and trackage facilities. Skag j
way would not be hampered nor in
jured in her present trade in tho i
least Her business now nearly all I
originates through Canadian trade;
arising in Dawson and other parts .
of the Yukou Territory. If Skag
way were under t!>e Canadian flag, J
the American boats! would not be |
barred from entering there for trade I
Some have thought that the pro- I
posed trade contemplated the ex-!
change of the entire southeastern ,
Alaska for Canadian territory. Al-1
:skans are protesting against such j
a wholesale trade, and there is not
much likelihood of such being con
summated. But there is no reason
why either country should continue
to be denial a connection over ter
ritory wholly its own. Eastern Al
aska now has no outlet. Yukon has
no outlet. Make the exchange in a
small strip, and each side will have
as much 'erritory as before, and
each have means of ingress and
egress over territory wholly its own.
Falcon Joslin, who has promoted
more big Alaskan schemes than .in."
other American, spoke favorably 01
the proposition when here last sum
mer. Dr. Thompson, member of t»ai
liament for Yukon, favored it
Sir Richard McBride, Congress ...i
Johnson of Washington and others
are promoting a scheme to have a
joint railway connection to serve j
Alaska and Yukon. If they succeed
in that scheme, and the trade be
made to give Skagway and Haines
the whole territory back of them, .
