Alaska, land where the march of Civilization left behind a priceless toll fm lives and desolate hopes bene 4 the vast silence of her eternal snows, 3 fs ready to give the world at inst entrance to her great storehouses of Ridden treasure locked away in the earth. i#ENHEMM INTERESTS IT TIED UP Lakes of oil, veins of pures§, cop per, and the richest coal fields [n the World, are soon to be thrown ostensibly to the world, but really to the Guegenheim interests, Cohen Aa gays, with the completion of the Bi Seward-Fairbanks railroad. Native Alaskans are watching the Progress of the rail enterprise with Certain misgivings, Cohen observes, altho seeing in it ultimately the dream of the “sourdough” fulfilled More intense than the bitterness of her barren cold is the hatred of Alaska for the Guggenheim intere: ‘who contro! nearly every resource the country, is the aswertion of n. With the driving of the last spike on the new government railroad, Alaska wins or loses, declares Cohen. To lose will mean that monopoly will squeeze from the earth the life ‘and the wealth of the promised land. GOVERNMENT BANKING MILLIONS ON FUTURE The government is banking mil lions on the future of Sluska, with the railroad linking the coast and ‘the intertor. ‘The Alaskan rallroad commission Tepresents a force of the most ef ficient engineers and rail specialists the government can command, He fween 4,000 and 5,000 men are em Ployed on the construction of th new road.

No richer, productive, more beau fiful land exists than the Alaskan “territory. ‘There are garden spots in the Matanuska country that the states would be proud to boast of, offset by the Alaskan scenery which is described by world travelers as in- aaere the circle are lakes of ofl undeveloped for want of capital Millions are needed to reach them. but everyone fears the hazard.

With the completion of the rail line by “the Alaskan railroad commission, fhe territory will pour forth her untold riches into the states Seattle will always be the port of ‘entry to the states from Alaska. No other coast port has deemed the ‘Alaskan trade worth while.
