THE ALASKA RAILROAD BILL.
THE passage of the Alaska railroad bill through the United
States Senate foretells the sucpess. of the administration's
Alaska policy, and marks the beginning of another epoch in
the history of Alaska's development. It is not a wonder that
the people of the Territory have been made enthusiasts, for they;
know of the potential possibilities of this country, and they know
that adequate transportation facilities will make realities out of
those possibilities.
It is a glorious victory for progressive government. It is
a magnificent reward for the splendid team work of the people
of the Territory and those out of the Territory who know our
people and sympathize with them in the great empire building
task in which they are engaged. The persistent labors of the
public spirited citizens of the North and the West generally have
resulted in the education of a Nation to the conditions that ob
tain. here.
The building of railroads from the coast into the great heart
of Alaska will make available for the use of men and women the
wonderful resources of the North. It will make roorp here for
thousands on thousands of people who have been "confined, cab
ined and cribbed" in the over-crowded centers of the country to
expand to the full extent of their capacities. It will extend the
glory of American institutions to another section of the con
tinent. And it will bring to those who have battled against ad
verse conditions for years opportunities that nature has intended
should be theirs from the beginning.
Alaskans should and doubtless they will never forget the ser
vice that has been rendered them by their friends, in office and
out. who do not live in the Territory, in this fight for progressive
government in the North. These include a splendid galaxy of
Western Senators and practically the whole population of Seattle,
in particular, and the whole Pacific Coast in general. They in
clude, above all, the great man who is our President?a man with
an extended vision, ripe judgment and the courage to act. They
include the splendidly organized, smoothly working, harmonious
and constrictive Democratic majorities in both branches of Con
gress.
v
In announcing its political independence the other day the
Fairbanks News-Miner said that "it is too easy to be a Democrat'
now." Further, "the Democratic administration is going as
straight as a string." Perhaps the News-Miner is, after all, still
Democratic.
GUARD AGAINST FIRE.
THE people of Juneau should take particular care to prevent
the outbreak of fire during the continuation of the cold
wave that has the city within its grasp. Fires are being
kept burning at full blast in practically all of the stoves of the1
city most of the 24 hours, and they all require watching. If
every person will make himself a fire warden to care for his own j
house, the danger will not be great. Unless that is done a fire
could easily get a start that would do great damage. Inflammable ,
material is very dry, and the wind blows much of the time. ,
The good guessing on the fate of the Alaska railroad bill t
in the Senate by the friends of that measure will cause the peo
ple of Alaska to have faith in the guesses that are being made
on the result in the House next month.
FAIRBANKS' FUTURE ASSURED.
THE fact that the Fairbanks district quartz properties have
produced more than $1,000,000 in gold from development
prosecuted entirely by local men and local capital tends to i
prove the contention of those of that section who say that in the
course of time the principal industry of the Tanana will be gold
quartz mining. The fact that nearly half of this production was
the result of last year's work strengthens the position of the
quartz enthusiasts of that country.
With the value of its quartz properties proved, immense
areas of low grade placer grounds, suitable for the use of dredges
and other kinds of labor-saving operations, and sufficient agri
cultural lands to make a foundation for a great commonwealth,'
all that the Tanana valley requires to make prosperity is cheaper
and better transportation facilities and the less costly means
of production that will follow. This will come with the construc
tion of the government railroad, the authorization for which
will come with the passage through the House of Representatives
next month of the bill that passed the Senate Saturday.
Satisfaction with the administration is so general that many
of the editorials in most of the newspapers these days read a
good deal like Democratic campaign literature.
The President says the Alaska railroad bill will pass both
branches of Congress and become a law. If we are to judge from
the record, the President knows.
