Almost any day now Seattle may hear from Wasniagton, 0. C., that the choice of a route for the Alaska railway has been made. Within 30 days from that time Seattle will be seething with © activity as a consequence, and within 60 days will be enjoying an immense new business it has stimulated. While Secretary Lane and President Wilson have not been publishing their intentions broadcast, men who nave been closely in touch with the admin- istration, and who also are fa- miliar with Alaska railroad con- struction, say the government will use not fewer than 5,000 men on the work this surnmer. These men will be going north by | the steamer load the last of Mare. Every man. of them will need equipment for his summer in the North that will cost him from $109 to $250. A great share of that will be bought of Seattle storekeepers, and what {s bought in the Alaska | cities will add just that much to the jvolume of trade of the Seattle wholesale houses, 10,000 to Go North Furthermore, if 5,000 men are em ployed in the construction, those who have had experience in build- ing Alaska railways say, at least 10,000 laborers will go North for the purpose. It has been the history of such enterprises that half of the men hired in any season will quit the job as soon as they have accunt ulated a grubstake, in order to pros pect for themselves. In fact, the prospecting is esti- mated by such well informed met as H. E. Ballaine, who built the Alaska Northern, as likely to attract twice as many men as will the com struction itself.
