ALASKAN GRAB
DENIED BY TAFT
i i "
President Sends Special Message
on Controller Bay Charges-
Denies That Brother Charles De
eclved Him.
WASHINGTON, 1). C, July 27.
Resenting vigorously imputations
Hint his notion in permitting Alaska
lnnds to bo acquired by private cor
porations nroso from any improper
influences and maintaining that his
acts have in no way inndo it possiblo
for the forming of any monopoly in
Alnskn, Prscidcnt Taft late Wednes
day sent to congress a message on
Controller bay situation, in response
to a request from the scnnte.
After detailing the activities of
the Morgan-Guggenheim interests
and other capitalists at and nenr
Controller bay, the president in his
message referred to tho locations
there of Richard S. Ryan, represent
ing tho Controller Railway & Navi
gation company, giving in detail Ry
an's efforts to obtain locations. Of
the elimination from the Chugach na
tional forest of a part of its terri
tory President Taft said:
Is Alone Responsible.
'1 wish to bo as specific as possi
ble upon this point and to say thnt 1
alone am responsible tho suggestion
was mine."
The message then says that Ryan,
tho Controller Railway & Navigation
company, its backers, Probts, Wetz
led & Co. had never been shown to
have any connection with the Morgan-Guggenheim
Copper River Rail
way company. lie points out thnt the
rates of freight for coal from the
Kntalla fields woul dalwnys be under
government control.

by Public Subscription.
Fays the message, "is development,
and where rights and franchises can
be property granted to encourage an
investment nnd construction of rail
roads without conferring exclusivi
privileges, I believe it in accord with
good iwlicy to grant them."
Monopoly Impossible.
President Tnft then declares thnt
monopoly at Controller bay is impos
sible because no ono entrant can ac
quire more than 1G0 acres of land In
n body because on each side of thi
1C0 acres must be reserved a plot
of government land nnd, third, be
cause the distance from high water
mark on Controller bay to low water
mark is between two and three mile.
niid that this mud flat is and will be
retained in the possession of the fed
eral government.
In tho Inst part of his message
President Tnft quotes the famous
"Dick to Dick" letter which wa
said to have been sent by Richrnd
Rynn to former Secretary Ballingor.
He refers with hent to the insinua
tions that his brother, C. P. Taft, had
induced him to make possible RynnV
obtaining the Controller bny land. The
president denies thnt he was ever ap
proached by his brother in the mut
ter nnd strongly intimates his doubt
that Ryan ever wrote any such letter
or that Ballingor ever received it.
In closing the message he says:
Is Against Monopoly.
"I urn hi full bympathy with the
concern of reubonublo und patriotic
men that the valuable resources of
Alaska should not be turned over to
be exploited for the profit of greedy,
absorbing nnd monopolistic corpora
tions or syndicate. But everyone
must know that the resources of
Alaska can never become valuable
either to tho people of Alaska or the
public of the United States unless
reasonable opportunity is granted to
those who would invest their money to
hecuro a return proportionate to the
risk run in theinvestment and reason
able under all the circumstunces.
"On tho other hand the ucrimony
of spirit und the intense malice that
has been engendered in respect to the
administration, of tho government in
Alaska nnd the consideration of
measures proproscd for her relief und
tho wanton recklessness and eager
ness with which attempts have been
made to besmirch the characters ol
high officials having to do with the
Alaskan government, nnd even of por
tions not in public, life, present u con
dition thnt calls for condemnation
and requires that the public be
warned of tho demoralization that
has been produced by tho hysterical
suspicions of good peoplo and the
unscrupulous and corrupt misrepro
6cntations of tho wicked.
HuuipcrM Development.
"Tho holpless slate to which tho
credulity of some of tho malevo
lent scandal mongering of others have
brought tho people of Alaska in thoir
struggle for its development ought to
givo tho publio cnuso, for until a
justor and fairer view bo taken in
vestment in Alaska, which is neces
sary to its development, will bo im

nnd legislators will bo embarrassed

Col. C. S. Jackson publisher of the
Oregon Journal who hns been a con
slstant booster of tho Horuo Ktver
Valley tor n number of years arrived
with n pnrty Thursday morning on
his way to Crater Lake. Col. Jnckson
Is much Interested In tho condition of
tho present road to the lake especially
that portion butlt by popular sub
scription eliminating the Pumice
grade. He was tho president of the
State Crater Lake rond commission
which was appointed by tho governor
to expend tho $100,000 In building
the road, later knocked out by the
supremo court.
"An automobile tour through Ore
gon is a great pleasure," stated Col.
Jackson this morning." The greatest
objection I have to find Is tho fact
that thero are not enough signboards
along the route to keep a traveler on
tho right road. TJio roads arc in a
fair condition."
Col. Jackson Is accompanied by
Mrs. Jnckson and child. Miss Helen
