STEESE GOES TO
MANAMA CANAL
_
James G. St:ese, former Presi
lent of the Alaska Road Com
nission, is back in the Panama
Sene again, according to a letter
cceivcd by William A. Hesse,
rerritorial Engineer.
Mr. Sterse, writing from San
\ntonio, Texas, January 27, says:
“I should have acknowledged
four special pamphlet on a pro
iosed highway system for Alaska
some time ago, and I now w'ant
^specialy to thank you for a copy
if your corrent biennial report, i
lust received. It makes splendid
reading and brings back many
nappy recollections.
“It takes a disccuragingly long
time for some of these plans to
come through, but as I see many j
of the dreams of 1920 of Joe Got
ways and myself now realities,
it makes one more hopeful for j
the future.
“With Alaska now definitely!
adopted by the War Department,!
progress should be speeded up.1
It looked for a while as though
I might be sent to Seattle to re-!
organize the Alaska District,1
since the Engineers have taken j
over the airfield construction, the
Portage Bay Tunnel, etc., but
they finally decided I had been
to Panama first, so I am leaving
this Friday to resume active duty
as Assistant Engineer of Mainten
ance of the Panama Canal, pos
sibly to build the third set of
locks. |
“That is getting back home, as;
I spent most of the period of
1907-12 on the construction of
the Panama Canal and Relocation
of the Panama Railroad.
“Best washes to all my friends
in the Territory.”
Anything is difficult if you
don’t want to do it.
We wish to express our thanks
to friends and attendance for
their kind sympathy and beauti
ful floral offerings to John W. \
Horen our beloved brother and
dear friend.
