A PLEA FROM MARSHALL.
The following communication voices
a popular sentiment and will doubtless
receive the heavy endorsement of all
who take an interest in the welfare of
those who, as the writer expresses it,
"are making a valiant effort to develop
western Alaska." We may add that
communications expressive of the need
for material improvements in the con
ditions obtaining on Seward peninsu
la will be welcomed and published at
all times.
The communication follows:
Kditor Nugget;
In your issue of the 16 th
you state that "A movement has been
started to hold a public demonstration
in favor of good roads.
No definite plans have been made as
to the projected affair but it will prob
ably take the form of a parade,” etc.
Will you kindly permit one who
knows the serious need for roads in
remote sections of this district to say
a word in favor of the sourdoughs who
are making a valiant effort to develop
western Alaska.
At Marshall City (Kortuna l-edg.q
two hundred and fifty miners are bat
•tling with mists, mosquitoes and mud.
Seven days each week they toll, as
other miners do, to open up the pay
and pour it into the coffers of com
merce and so help to develop the
country.
Yet Marshall City has not one square
foot of improved highway. The food,
supplies and machinery for this work
is dragged three and one half miles
through tundra muck oxlotroe deep.
These oeopli .ire not asking for an
automobile drive to air their broad
cloth on. Iml they certainly would be
appreciative of any road over which
bacon and beans could be transported
at less than five cents per pound.
Will you kindly use a few lines of
vour suave, convincing arguments for
those who would appreciate it and
who certainly believe they need It.
Signed. GKO. M. 1’ILCHEll.
