Bruner Company Backed for Katalla Railroad Fight
A Seward source says Bruner at Katalla is in good faith to build a railroad with strong financial backing. The Guggenheims are accused of bluffing and delaying Alaska copper sales to keep it off the market. Seattle census shows under 35 000 children ages 0 to 21 and about 26 000 voters. Population estimates vary. city directories suggest 241 000 residents. A federal census arriving in 1910 could upset local population projections and hedge expectations of real estate and press figures.
