ANOTHER LAND GRANT.
Bills Now in Congress.
Washington, Jan. 23.—Now that the
Trans-Alaskan Railway Company has
a bill before both the senate and the
house granting it a right of way for a
railroad from C«>k inlet across the pen­
insula, by way of Unalaklik and Eaton
to Port Clarence, on the end of the Sew­
ard peninsula, it is working very vigor­
ously to secure the passage of this meas­
ure. It is asking for a land grant sim­
ilar to that extended to the severa-
tranacontinental roads in the United
States.
The exact route propo«si to lie cov­
ered by this road has been survey«! by
the company, and has lxx»n inspected
by representatives of the g«>logical sur­
vey. It shirts on the western shore of
Cook inlet, just north of Kanishak bay,
leading westward from Iliamna lake
past Kakwok,
and northwestward
across Tikchik lake to Kalniakof on the
Kuskokwim, and northwestward to
Holy Cross Mission and Anvik, on the
Yukon, thence up Anvik river, and over
Anvik portage to the head of Norton
sound; thence by Nome to Port Clar­
ence. The distance to C«>k Inlet from
St. Michael is approximately 400 miles.
Kamishak bay is said to lx? open
throughout the winter, and therefore
affords a valuable terminal for the road
and its steamship connections.
The company asserts that the main
artery of commerce is closed by ice dur­
ing the winter months, and that a rail­
way from Cook Inlet to Behring sea is
the only practicable method of opening
up to settlement the western plains and
river valleys of Alaska, and of furnish­
ing means of transportation at all sea­
sons of the year.
The snowfall along the propos«!
route is light, and a railroad, it is said,
can be operated without interruption.
The company claims to lx? asking for
this grant solely to aid in the construc­
tion of the road, in the hope of develop­
ing the agricultural resources of the in­
terior and affording ad«piate transpor­
tation to the remote sections that are
now practically cut off through the win­
ter months. The company does not
ask for any mineral rights, nor does it
expect immediate returns from the
lands. It appreciates that it will take
years to bring to the p«>ple of the
United States the knowl«lge that in
Alaska can be had homesteads from
which can be gathered the necessaries
of life. '
