SLEEM MEMORIAL
NOW ASSURED
Construction Work On Building
Begin At Once and Be Rushed
to Completion.
The erection of the Slecm Me
morial reading room will be vig
orously pushed and before many
weeks the men of Valdez will
have a pleasant place where they
can spend their leisure hours.
The foundation timbers are al
ready on lilt' site and active
building operations will begin in
a few days. The building will be
2(»x3(.l feel, with twelve-loot ceil
ing. and will ho located on the
Episcopal church lot between the
church and rectory.
Plans have been drawn for Ihe
building which will cost about
s 1,2(10. Nearly one-half of the
amount has already been sub
scribed and those who have
charge of the work have received
promises indicating successful
linancing of the memorial. The
work of providing a free reading
room for the homeless men of
Ibis seel ion was one which great
ly interested Ihe departed physi
cian and his friends and the so
cieties of which he was an active
member are determined that Ihe
building will be a credit to his
memory and the esteem in which
he was held by the people among
whom he spent his best efforts.
The Odd Fellows Lodge, at a re
cent meeting which was only al
lcndeil hy a few members, sub
scribed nearly lifly dollars and
have indicated that they will do
everything in their power lo see
the enterprise carried to a suc
cessful issue. I)r. Sleent was al
so a meinher of the Arctic Bro
therhood, the Pioneers and the
Fraternal Order of F.agles. These
lodges all have .big memberships
and a small amount from each
member and other friends would
mean a revenue siillicienL to place
Ihe m'emoriai free of debt and
capable of doing the good work
which Ihe doctor planned.

1 WINTER ROAD
RE KEPT OPEN
Method Which Proved so Suc
cessful Last Winter Will be
Repeated This Season.
Local business men are al
ready discussing ways and means
of providing funds for keeping
the government road open over
the summit from the first fall of
snow. They realize that if the
road is permitted to go for weeks
without traffic, at the beginning
of the winter, the task of getting
lit into shape for travel later will
be more expensive and difficult.
It is probable that the question
will be brought to the attention
of the city council at next meet
ing in order to bring the matter
before the people of Valdez at the
earliest possible date.
Last year a fund was raised
among the local business men
and the road was made safe for
travel at all times. Teams were,
sent over the road and it was
carefully markedby men who un
derstood the business, it was
fortunate the precautions were
taken early in the season, as the
road was in good condition for
the transportation of (he mails
to the interior when it was nec
essary to bring them this way
when the railroad went out of
commission. The llrst mail left
Valdez over the summit on Jan
uary 33 and I he last was dis
patched on March N, covering a
period of nearly two mold its,
whereby the people of the inter
ior were enabled to receive their
mail regularly through the en
terprise of I he people of Valdez.
The immense winter travel
which will result from the devel
opment of I lie Nelehina, Chisana
and other interior camps will
mean good business to the local
merchants and others who cater
to the wants of' travelers. The
roadhouses along the road have
made extensive preparations and
are said to lie better equipped
this year than ever before.
The first rush of miners to the
Nelehina. which will take place
during the next few weeks, will
serve to keep the road open un
fit the heavy fall of snow comes.
If is llien that the road rail lie
marked to best advantage. The
miners going into and returning
from the interior wilt help 'to
keep it in good shape and will
guarantee a mad over which
supplies can lie taken at any sea
son.
The development of the new
camps in the ir.lerior promise
heavier winter travel Ilian ever
before known in I he history of
Valdez. The location of the Nel
ehina is such as to make il nec
essary for the operators and
traders to take in supplies over
the winter trails sufficient to last
them until the arrival of snow a
year hence. The travel In this
camp belongs almost exclusive
ly to Valdez and will no doubt do
so if the miners can load their
sleighs here and he sure of get
ting them over tile road wtihoul
loss of time.
