Col. Richardson Secured First Data
On Need of Government Line
In Alaska.
SEATTLE, May 5—Col. W. P. Rich
ardson, chairman of the Alaska road
commission, in a speech last night
at the Arctic Club, told of the work
of his commission In the north and
how the present system of roads and
trails had been developed. The col
onel also told of the work done by
his department in securing the first
data asked by President Taft regard
ing the advisability of building a rail
road In the territory and it was af
ter the data collected by the commis
sion had been placed in the hands of
the president that the first railroad
commission, headed by Major Mor
row, was sent to the north to inves
tigate and report.
Col. Richardson informed the mem
bers of the club that the work of
building roads and trails had but
started and that millions of dollars
was needed to carry to a conclusion
the plan of the commission to reach
every camp and mining section of the
north wth a road adequate to care
for the needs of the sections reached.
"The wagon roads and trails of
Alaska are still an important factor
in its development without which
Alaska’s full resources cannot be op
ened. The railroad can of necessity
reach but a small part of that vast
territory and roads are sorely need
ed by the miners and prospectors.”
said the colonel.
