NOME, ALASKA, JUNE 1», lull.
The announcement thui congress has
passed the military appropriation bill,
carrying a half million dollars for roads
and trails in Alaska, is welcome new*
tt» the citizens ot tills portion ol Alas
ka as it indicates the probable inaug
uration ot a program ol road and trail
construction throughout tin- territory
which may help in some degree to re
lieve the pressing transportation needs
oi this section.
The appropriation of tills sum, coin
and upkeep, places at the disposal ol
the Alaska road eommtssion the hand
some sum of six hundred and filly thou
sand dollars. Doubtless only a small
portion td this will ever roach Seward
peninsula. Reports from the outside
some time ago stated that it has been
already determined that at least half ot
this sum will be devoted to the Valdes
Fairbanks road alone.
From tne same source it is learned that
approximately one hundred thousand
more wi.. be expended on the construc
tion of a new road between lluby and
Long City, in the Ruby see lion. Of the
remaining two hundreu thousand we
will possibly receive not to exceed lit'ty
thousand.
While this is a pitifully small sunt
as compared io the overwhelming need
J"i loans in this section, it would pos
sibly sultiee io build at least one road
in addition to placing tne few short
evidences ol previous generosity in good
condition. it is, of course, far from
certain that the Second division will re
ceive even an approximation of the sum
suggested as it has Heretofore appealed
to be tlie policy of the road commis
sion to meet iiie general needs of every
other section ot Alaska before bestowing
any favors on the second division.
l he southeastern sections o* the terri
tory possess roads amt frails running
ni every direction, some of which, ac
cording to excellent testimony, are seem
ingly so little needed ttiat one may trav
• i them tor miles and day after day
without encountering a living tiling but
tne birds of the air and beasts of the
held. beidoni is a human being ever
*•■*•*1 upon their meandering readies.
I fils would be all light us far
as we ol the Second division are eon
c« rned were it not that, while the road
and trail needs of those sections have
been so well attended to, Seward pen
insula has been comparatively neglected
i lie proof of this lies iu the fuel that
dose to five million dollars has been
•spent in the territory during the years
oi government road construction and
still there are scarcely more than fifty
miles of road throughout the whole of
the Howard peninsula district.
in view of the small attention prev
iously accorded, the people of this sec
tion naturally feel that they should be
grunteu a Just apportionment of such
funds as may be placed at tin* disposal
of the commission, both now and in the
future. No where in the territory is
there a greater necessity for roads; no
where are transportation needs more
pressing than on Seward peninsula.
Kvery other settled section of Alaska
is better provided with highways despite
the tact that the Second division pro
duces nearly one fourth of the total an
nual wealth of itic whole territory.
The people of Seward peninsula do not
begrudge the other sections what they
have obtained in, the line of roads and
trails. On the contrary they are pleased
that others do not experience the im
mense difficulties encountered by them
selves in attempting to open and make
available the virgin resources of this
primeval land. They feel, however, that,
having get*n neglected so long, they are
justly entitled to an equitable apportion
ment oi such funds as remains in the
hands of the commission after the prin
cipal needs of the other districts have
been attended to.
The wealth production of Seward pen
insula is such as to lend justice to the !
thought that this section is entitled to i
as much as is bestowed on any other |
section, but this is not expected. We |
.isk only that we shad be granted enough
the road commission funds to meet
the most serious needs.
We have floundered through mire ami
bog devoiu of road or trail for years
without undue complaint, all the while
hoping against hope that some day the i
way would be made more smooth and
our toils less hard. And. while we have
vwiited, we have seen the broad and I
many highways of the government wind- ^
mg their sinuous way over valley and
slope in other sections of tin* territory,
have witnessed the appropriations of
.•ther days swallowed up in the govern
ment efforts to aid and assist others,
seen others grow, develop and expand j
undei the beneflcient inuence of govern- j
meni patronage and all the while v\«*
have been at a standstill though pro
ducing equally with the rest. We there- j
foie, hope that out of this large ap
portionment of funds the road commis- j
sion will reserve sufficient to at least
complete the road to Council—the most
traveled highway of the district.
\\ »• also need very badly a road to
the ivougarok and several other very
rich sections but If we receive no more
than this we shull be duly grateful to
»ne gods for not as beiore overlooking
us altogether.

HAVE RICHEST I’AY EVEN
KNOWN ON CLEARY
Mining men who have visited the
works of Ringdahl *. Co., on No. 11 be
low, creek claim, on Cleary creek, are
authority for the statement unit the
richest pay ever known to exist on old j
Cleary, even in her palmiest days, is
now being mined there, says the Fair
banks Cttixen. In fact, it is slated that
iilng from fj to Ilia anywhere in the drift.
It Is therefore expected that the opera
lots will take out something like tluu.uuo
during .ne mining season.
Ttie good pay in question was sup
posed to have been worked out. There
fore, when last year H. Rlngdahl, A1
Raymond, John Carlson and John Carey
made an offer of |5,U00 for the ground to
Henry luiey, the former well known
mining and banking man of Fairbanks.
It was accepted. And the miners secured
several other pieces of mining property
in their bargain.
The i xa. t extent ol the pay is riot
known, but it is believed that at least
two years' time will be required to work
It out. Ringdahl w Co. are stated to be
preparing to open up on a large scale
now. having done all of their own pre
liminary work.

TO KISS IIEP. SON
WAUKEGAN, III.—Judge Donnely, of
the circuit court, has made an order
believed to be without precedent in court
annuals in the United States. It is a
full and complete court order forbidding
one person to kiss another in court.
The order was made in connection witli
ttie sensational trial of Oeorge Orphei,
a young college student, who is accus
d of murdering his sweetheart. Miss
Marian Lambert. And it was made fon
me purpose of preventing the mother of
me young man from kissing him in ttie
coini room In forbidding that one per
son should kiss another in court, the
judge holds that such action reflects on
the dignity of the court.
The ease against young Orptiel is ready
inr trial, it took six days to get Ihe
jury. Orphei is accused of having pois
oned Ids sweetheart.
Cut h IACOB LITTER TRAIL
WITH MUCH U8KLE8B JUNK
The trulls between Anchorage and
Seward are Uttered with old clothes,
handbags and a thousand and one odds
and ends which tire vivid reminders of
the fact that hundreds of men who
never saw Alaska before and who had
no ideas of what they were to ijieet in
packing over the trail have followed the
railroad excitement. Beniamin L. ('amp
bell, ilie well known engineer of the
commission, suggests tbut some second
hand dealer might go out and get a
fine stock of goods. The men from for
eign countries who come to work on
the railroad carry the most extraordi
nary loads out of Seward and are forced
to shed their "valuables" as they go
along in the deep snow country.—Sew
