SEW\KI>, Al.ASK V. Tl ESI)AY, Jl Nli 1, 1915.
Seward is glad to have Chairman K'des hack once again. While the peo
ple of thi-, district know that Mr. Kdes and the other members of the commis
sion reported to the president and the secretary of the interior strictly what
they had ascertained in relation to the country and the different routes, the
feeling exists that tin* names of the members of the government engineering
commission must always he associated with Seward's success.
In the selection of Mr. Riles to head the commission the administration
was influenced only by the fact that Mr. Kdes had achieved eminence in his
profession. In the selection of this route for the great trunk line the admin
istration wa> undoubtedly influenced only by the impartial report of the com
mission. There were tights made by other places hut Mr. Kdes, Mr. Mears,
Mr. Riggs and the administration found what all the people iff this district
honestly believe, and that i> that no other route offered the same advantages.
All of them chose according to the facts in spite of the strong pressure
brought from other quarters.
And now when the chairman of the commission begins the work he does
so amongst friends who want to see him so successful that his name will al
ways bt* associated with the development of the great territory.
The government is now preparing evidently not only to dispose of the
tow nsite at Vitchorage but may also st>li the lots on the ground taken over in
this city. The following interview with Vgent Christensen of the land of
fice before he left Juneau for Vnchurage tells more of the intentions than
anything else that has been printed:
“We ha\e no regulation* or acts to go by in this matter and the members
of the commission and myself will take the matter up and make recommenda
tions to the department. 1 really do not know what method will be used in
disponing of the lots. We may decide to hold them and lease them at a
nominal rental, or we may sell them at a nominal sum with certain restric
tions making the sale for the benefit of the public and not the speculators.
“Then again we may sell them at auction to the hightest bidder, but I
hardly think so, as that would he playing into the hands of the speculators
who ha\e money to invest.
“People hu\e been rushing into Ship Creek so last and settling on the
reservation that they are hampering the railroad work and something must
he done with them. Mr. Warner will survey the tow nsite and probably the
settlers will be moved so a> not to interfere with the work.
“There will probably he a tow nsite at Matanuska Junction where the
branch to the coal Helds leaves the main line and we will ha>e to make the
necessary surveys there, and maybe at a couple of other places up the line.
Then the large tract at Seward will probably be laid out and placed on the
market although we cannot tell what regulations the department will finally
make in the matter.”
