Alaska harbor plan labeled a farce by Carson
Special counsel John A. Carson of the Morgan Guggenheim syndicate calls the disputed Dick to Dick letter a farce. He says the syndicate has no reason to seek a harbor at Controller Bay Salem Oregon July 18. Carson notes the bay is a poor harbor for a railroad terminal and that $1.5 million was spent on a proposed route before it was abandoned. He explains the syndicate later bought rights from Michael J. Heney and built a road inland from Cordova toward Bonanza copper mines, the only road the syndicate wanted.
