ROAD FROM SEWARD TO KEN
Al.
The undivided attention of the
Alaska Road Commission is re
spectfully called to the fact that
the towns of Seward and Kenai,
and the country intervening, will
insist upon the construction of a
road or trail, this season, con
necting these two places, so that
winter travel may be made less
severe.
The Valdez-Fairbanks trail lias
been the rat-hole down which the
major portion of the funds of the
commission have been poured
each succeeding year since Dial
body was created by act of con
gress. Just how much more
it will require to once and for all
Jinish this troublesome trail, we
are not advised. Now we hear
talk of making it an "auto road.”
Very nice, indeed. Hut we shall
certainly resist any effort to build
■outo roads anywhere in Alaska,
.until at least passable trails for
dog teams pare provided wherd
necessary. Then," and not till
-then, will be time enough to take
-up the proposition of auto roads.
The Seward-Kenai road com
prehends the completion of the
wagon road from Seward to Lake
Kenai; a wagon road from, say
the mouth of Hooper creek to a
few miles below (lie mouth of
Russian river, and a I rail from
thence in Kenai.
Such a road, or coiuluiuvd road
and trail, will involve, roughly
speaking, an expenditure of $25,
000. So in making up your esti
mate for I lie ensuing year, gen
tlemen of I he Road Holcimissinll,
allot Ihe Kenai peninsula $.'10,000,
as we shall require an extra $5,
000 fur repairs In existing roads
and trails.
(iive that ral-liole a rest for a
season. Ik’s being overfed.—Si-w
ard Gateway.
The Seward Gateway is peeved
because mention was made in Hie
Prospector that Ihe Road (ami
mission planned to make the
Kairbanks-Yaldez wagon road
passable for automobiles, and
thinks that Ihe commission
should parallel both tide water
and railroad by building a wagon
road to connect Seward with Ken
ai and the Gateway demands an
allotment this season from the
commission of $30,000.
If the Seward Gateway is so
anxious to have $30,000 expended
on the Kenai-Sev^ard route it
would be well, beftire criticising
'the Road Commission, to know
just what the? appropriation pass
ed by congress was for. The item
carrying the sum of $100,000 is
the amount estintated and ap
proved by the War department
and passed by the House of con
gress, for “repair and mainten
ance of military and post roads”
in Alaska, the principal one of:
which is the road from Valdez
to Fairbanks with the winter ex
tension to Fort Gibbon and Sew
ard Peninsula.
Seward has strenuously agitat
ed the purchase of the railroad
-terminating at that place, and this
agitation, together with other ag
itation in respect to government
constructed railroads and the
question of coal lands, has caus
ed congress and the War depart
menl to take the attitude for two
or three years past that until
these questions were settled, on
ly sufficient 'appropriations
should be made for repair and
mainflenance of roads 'already
constructed.
If the people of the Kenai Pen
insula really want a wagon road
to connect, Seward with Kenai, let
them get together and ask con
gress for an appropriation for
this purpose and if they are suc
cessful, they will find the Road
Commission ready and willing to
expend the money to the best pos
sible advantage. It appears that
a total expenditure was made in
Kenai Peninsula district last sea
son of over $38,000, including
$ 10,000 expended for the comple
tion of the Seward-lditarod trail.
This amount is relatively far
larger than the amount expended
on the Valdez-Fairbanks trail,
compared to the relative amounts
of freight, passenger and mail
traffic going over the respective
routes,
WHY?

Before you do a tiling—ask
Why?

Before you do a tiling—ask

Ask yourself: "Why should I

Before you do a thing—ask

Make Why very personal. “Why
