Washington. Dec. 12.—Just as soon
as the currency bill is disposed of,
President AVilson will urge congress
to take up proposed Alaskan legisla
tion. In 'his annual message the
president said:
"The people of Alaska should be
given the full territorial form of gov
ernment. and Alaska, as a store
house, should 'be unlocked. One key
to it is a system of railways. These
the government should itself build
and administer, and the ports and'
terminals it should itself control In
the interests of all vvtio wish to use
them for the service and development
of the country and its people."-
A bill authorizing the president to
spend $35,000,000 in the construction
of Alaskan railways will be passed by
congress during the present session,
thinks Senator Key Pittman of Ne
vada. chairman of the senate com
mittee on territories.
Senator Pittman spent a large part
of liis young manhood in Alaska, tooth
as prospector and practising attorney.
He is looked upon in the senate as an
authority on Alaskan questions.

Alaskan railroad bill, which my com

not only to make this coal accessible
to the consumer, 'but to open up vast
areas of agricultural lands and gold
fields.
"The United States now pays about

consumers are pirates ting against the
rates they are forced to pay and de

department showed Alaskan coal to
be generally superior to coal which
eastern fields have been furnishing
the navy.
"The bill now on the senate calen
dar merely authorizes the president to
expend $o5.000,000 and use such gov
ernment agencies as he may require
in constructing railroads in Alaska.
Most of the important fields, having
previously been'located by private in

den combined, and the climate is no
colder. Most people have the idea
that Alaaka is an intensely cold
country, like that found at Dawson
and Nome, but as a matter of fact
the southern and southeastern por
tions of Alaska feel the effects of the
warm japan current just the some as
la felt on the coast of Washington
and Oregon.
"In southeastern Alaska, twenty
five miles from the coast, we have
the Bering coal fields, of a known
area of fifty miles square. A little
further north and about 100 miles
from the coast are even larger coal
deposits—the Matanuska fields. The
coal in these fields has been declared
by Dr. Brooks of the United Statea
geological survey in charge of Alaska
to be equal to any steaming coal tn
the United States. It has been tested
on our war vessels and found entire
ly satisfactory, it is the only coal
on the Pacific coast tlhat is' adapted
to the uses of the navy.
"The people of the United States
own nearly all the natural resources
of Alaska. The whole country, would
be benefited by opening them up. We
should open the gold fields. We
should open up the agricultural lands
and we must open up the coal fields.
"This administration is going to
build railroads to develop Alaska. It
is going, to increase the production of
gold, open homesteads for our people,
open up the coal fields under proper
protection, break down the coal mon
opoly and Insure the power and effi
ciency of its navy. And in so doing
it is going to add to the prosperity of
our people."
