TAKU RAILROAD
HAS EASY ROUTE
Tho estimated cost of the TaRu
railroad from the terminal ground on
Taku Inlet to the International bound
ary line, a distance of approximately
24 miles is $634,100, according to the
report of F. J. Wettrlck, of tho firm
of Wettrlck & Wllhelm. the well
known engineers who made the sur
vey. The cost is subdivided as fol
lows: Clearing, $30,000; steel. $160.
000; ties. $36,000; ballasting and grub
bing. $80,500; engineering. $33,000.
The cost of construction will average
$26,500 per mile.
The survey was made for the Taku
Railway and Navigation company,
which company Is projecting a rail
road from a point on Taku Inlet to
the International boundary line that
Is designed to connect with another
proposed railroad reaching from that
point to Atlln City on I*ake Atlln.
There are no engineering difficulties
In the way of construction as survey
ed. A few miles of rock cuts being
the most expensive, but nearly the
entire distance Is through the valley
of Taku river and practically level.
The grade for the entire distance Is
considerably less than one per cent.
The right of way as surveyed passes
through much fine spruce and hem
lock that will be useful in railroad
construction.
The Taku terminals are located
about five miles from the mouth of
Taku river on the South side of Taku
Inlet and about twelve miles up the
inlet from Stevens passage. It is
within easy reach of Juneau, being a
matter of only two hours by ferry
boat. It will require a dock 1,600 feet
long from the terminal ground to
reach deep water. The extreme depth
of the Taku Inlet channel at this point
is only 18 fathoms.
A preliminary survey has nlso been
run from the boundary line to Atlln.
but this part of the road has not been
definitely located.

ment in defense of the treaty between
the United States and Colombia which
Is pending in the United States Sen
ate. Among other things, Mr. Du
Bols says:
"I was in the Department of State ,
in 1903 when the press announced |
that the mailed hand of the United ?
States had stopped Colombian soldiers |
from suppressing a revolution on the ^
Isthmus of Panama. Amazed at this c
enterprise I said to those present: t
'This, if true, is a shocking Injustice i
to Colombia and the United States t
must pay dearly for it in the end.' a
"Three years ago, when I was a3ked c
to go to Bogota as Minister, I frank- g
ly stated my sincere sympathies for o
Colombia and was informed that r
friendl' relations with that country
were desired by the United States, /
and that my sympathies were no bar
to my mission.
"An impartial investigation at Bo
gota, running over a period of two
years, confirmed my sympathies, and (
convinced me that, instead of 'black- ,
mailers' and 'bandits,' the public men (
of Colombia compare well with the L
public men of other countries in in- t
telllgence and respectability, while (
the social life is as refined and cul
tured as can be found In any capital
In the world. Bogota Is called the
Athens of South America. .
"Impressed by tho humiliation and J
sufferings that had befallen Colombia j1
by the act of 1903, I have worked un- J
selfishly for the true interests of- tho
United States In Latin America by
trying to secure a settlement of our
unfortunate differences on a broad and 1
lust basis, and the new treaty will
accomplish that result. I deeply re
gret the antagonism to It displayed
n certain quarters, and I deplore Col.
Roosevelt's bitter and misleading at- ll
tack embodied in his recent public n
statement.
Camants/l The
Revolution.
"He says: 'The people of Panama r
were a unit In demanding the revo- v
lution.' I say, and can prove It, that
1 handful of men, who were to be n
the direct beneficiaries of the revolu
tion, conceived it, and not the hun- .
ilredth part of the Inhabitants of the *
isthmus knew of the revolt until an
American officer, in the uniform of the
United States army, raised the flag
of the new republic.
" 'We never flred a shot at any Co
lombian,' says Col. Roosevelt. True,
but the execution of the orders of
President Roosevelt to the American
warship was an act of war, and if
the Colombian soldiers had attempted
to suppress the conspiracy they would
have been captured, or driven into the
Bea, or killed, because that is the way ]
our brave marines have of doing things
when they are let 'loose.'
"The time is not distant when Latin
America will have a hundred million
of people, Inspired by new conditions e
of nntlonal and commercial life. Those \
now living feel that the Panama in- j
cident is the only real injustice com- r
mitted by the United States against t
the Latin-American people. The treaty \
will correct that feeling and greatly
change the sentiment that is now run- ?
ning heavily against us in all South
America, and place this country and
Colombia upon that friendly footing
so greatly desired by the people of
both nations. *
"If any person believes It Is pleas- '
ant for me to oppose a great leader f
whose fortunes I devotedly followed (
for ten years, and for whom I have *
profound esteem, he Is radically mis- <
taken. I am a Republican and have
been all my life, and I have been urg- >
ed not to make this statement public,
because a successful issue of the
treaty will help the Wilson Adminis
tration.
"I do not care to live to greet that ,
day where my love of party smothers ,
my love of Justice and halts my cour
age in doing what I believe is right ,
for the true interests of my country.'"
