FROM JUNEAU TO ATLJN ROAD
Government Men Report That Trail
Would Be of Great Benefit—Hupt.
Hayes Is Estimating Cost, 'Which
He Says Would Be Small.
JUNEAU, Nov. 13.—J. C. Hayes
and W. F. Pendergast, who left Ju
neau last Sunday for an Investigation
of the cost and feasibility of putting
a road up the Taku river from the
mouth of the river to the Canadian
Boundary and which is to connect
there with a Canadian Government
road and continue to Atlin, B. C.,
have returned from their trip.
J. C Hayes, who is superintendent
of roads for the Alaska Road Com
mission in the First Division stated
that the road can be built very cheap
ly on one side of the river, and that
it will open a vast stretch of wonder
ful country.
“The road cannot be. built very
well on the south side of the river,
where it was proposed, but on the
north side, or the same side of the
river that Juneau is located on it can
be constructed very cheaply. This is
one of the most wonderful stretches
of country I have seen in Alaska and
some Of the best land anywhere is to
be found in the Taku river valley,
and with a road from the mouth of
the river and regular boat connection
*rom there to Juneau, the road would
be a wonderful benefit and will oj
some great farming country, which
would be the equal of the famous
Chilkat valley back of Haines, with
in a few years,” he said.
Hayes and Prendergast went to the
Canadian boundary and made careful
estimates of the cost of the road and
an examination of the course which
would be followed by the road. Hayes
will, within the next few days, pre
pare his report on the project and
submit it to the Engineering Commis
sion at Valdez.

, ” I
Doubt Is Expressed As to Election1
of Walton in New Mexico—Re-1
.
Classification Gives Republicans a I
Blight Lead.
NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—Late re
turns somewhat complicate the po
litical situation in regard to the com
plexion of the next congress. Thej
returns from the Tenth North Caro
lina district, show that Britt, the Re
publican candidate for the lower
house has been re-elected by a plu
rality of thirteen.
The election of Walton, the demo- j
cratic candidate in New Mexico, is j
considered doubtful, although at one
time it was conceded. Under the re
classification of Nolan, Hayes and
Randle, the Progressive, Republican
and Prohibition Representatives lined
up with the Republicans, gives them
a slight plurality in the House.

SULZER STILL FAR IN LEAD
j
No Question But That Democratic.
Candidate Wrill Land the Office,
With Good Plurality—Explanation j
of Figures Given in Table Below.
There seems to have been a mis
understanding as to the votes as re
corded in the table below, inasmuch
as the totals show only about 6,000
votes. As a matter of fact more than
11,000 votes have been cast, but in
reporting the vote from the First
and Fourth divisions only the plu
ralities have been given as the late
returns have come in. Lena Morrow
Lewis undoubtedly has more than
210 votes in the Fourth division, but
that was the last number reported.
Sulzer was leading Wickersham by
18 votes in the Fourth division when
last reported and this lead was the
only figures given. The same applies j
to the First division, where, accord
ing to our figures Mrs. Lewis is un
doubtedly short of her full vote, but
the plurality of 551 of Sulzer over
Wickersham is sufficient to indicate
the standing of the candidates.
Pluralities are given in the divi
sions, and total vote for each candi
date in the precincts.
The following table gives the re
sults up to 4:00 this afternoon:
