GOVERNMENT RAILWAY TO OPEN UP ALASKA Secretary of Interior Believes in Policy of Providing Railways for the North. Washington, tary of the Lane today May 24—Secre- Interior Franklin K. made definite an- nouncement of his belief in gov- ernment owned railroads as the most direct method for the proper development of Alaska. In a letter addressed to Sen- ator Key Pittman, chairman of the senate committee on terri- tories, which is considering the Jones-Chamberlain railroad bill, Mr. Lane said today: ‘I favor this policy (the con- struction of a railway system in Alaska by the national govern- ment I believe it to be that under which Alaska will develop most safely and most speedily, ‘land under which the resources of that territory will most certainly become available to the whole people. “LT have talked with many who know that country well, and am convineed that we should think of Alaska as a land not only of mines and fisheries, but of towns, farms, hardiest and most wholesome of the race.

Pelkey, however, is held for manslaugh- his ter. Referee Smith, Tommy Burns, the trainer of Pelkey, and J. Carney, the manager of McCarty, are also held on the same charge and were brought up in court yesterday, together with a dozen The city library was opened last night, much to the gratifica- tion of everybody. When the time for the inauguration of what is bound to become a great public institution arrived last night all the seats at the reading tables were occupied, everybody reading or looking over the illustrations, giving the room the appearance of having been in daily use for some time. All the leading maga- zines were there, literary and scientific, and along the walls were the beginning of fyles of the local and leading Canadian newspapers, both French and English, and a few continental newspapers in other languages. At the rear is a talking and smok- ing room, with little tables at which games can be played. Acting Mayor Naden made the inauguration speech and for- mally announced the library open. He regretted the absence of Wil- liam Manson, M. P. P., who was unable to get here in time, and also that of Bishop Du Vernet, who was suddenly called away on Friday. Alderman Naden said he felt very proud to have the honor of being the chairman of the meeting to open the first city reading room in Prince Rupert.

But there were great difficulties in starting a new city such as this, for while the town was small, with a population of only some five or six thousand, the city council had to prepare for a city of from fifty to a hundred thousand. Much more, for in- stance, had been done im Section One than would have been spent over the whole of a town of the same population. The water- works the city was putting in was costing over half a million, and then there was the sewage sys- tem and other local improve- ments on the same large scale. These 'arge expenditures had made it difficult for the council to take up such public’ needs as recreation grounds, reading rooms, swimming pools and many other things. It was for this rea- son the council had decided to start a small reading room in- stead of a good library, and after all a reading room at the present time was a more press- ing need than a library. They had supplied it with daily and weekly newspapers and most of the magazines, and those using it thoroughly might get a fair education and keep up with the (Continued on Page 4.)
