A 1916 perspective by Holland argues Alaska’s growth hinges on government-backed railroad construction. It notes rising Alaska commerce, especially via Seattle and Oregon ports, and compares potential wealth to the Pacific railroad impact. Projections claim commerce could reach 73 million dollars in 1916, with a total need of about 10 million for continued development.
