STEESE FIGHTING FOR
ROAD APPROPRIATION
Owing to the drastic cut made by
the house appropriations committee,
in the Alaska road commission ap
propriation, for the next fiscal year,
Col. James G. Steese, president of the
commission, who has been in Wash
ington since last November, will de
lay his return to Alaska until the end
of the present session, according to
advise received at commission head
quarters in Juneau. Col Steese is con
fident that the senate will deal more
liberally with» the* commission esti
mates thr.t the house committee.
Col. Steese expected the report of
the committee recommending $350,
000 for the commission next season
would be adoted by the, house. When
the measure goes'to the Senate com
mittee the real fight to have the ori
ginal amount 955,000, restored to the
bill, will begin. The reduction made
by the house committee, it war stated
was not the result of criticism of the
estimates of the commission, but was
due to the “economic drive** being car
ried on which is butting down amount
of appropriations for every purpose.
Col. Steese had expected to bo able
to leave Washington by February 20,
hfend arrive in Alaska about Marchl.
It will now probably be the latter
part of March before he lelmnB Hr

dred yards in his desperate effort to
reach the road house and then be
came exhausted. He was almost in
sight of Hie road house when he per

MEARS TELLS OF WORK
ON GOVERNMENT RAILROAD
PORTLAND:—One of the largest
audiences ever assembled at a Cham*
ber of Commerce lecture heard Col*
Frederick Mean speak of the present
and prospective development of the
northern* Empire and of the govern
ment’s railroad to the interior, now
nearing completion.
As chief of the Alaska Engineering
commission* Colonel Mean, now on a
brief visit to Portland, is in complete
charge of the difficult project, which
thrusts inland from Seward to Fair
banks, a distance of 467 miles, and
which be predicts will be running
trains its entire length within the
coming year
“The gold rush led private capital
construct the White Pass and Yu
kon railroad in 1898, the first rail
road to be built in Alaska," said Col.
Mears. “It was narrow guage with
Heavy grades and curvature and ex
tended from Skagway 110 miles over
the White Pass to Whitehorse, the
head of navigation on the Yukon. The
next railroad to be constructed was
the Copper River and Northwestern
line in 1906, which was projected to
reach the rich copper mines located in
the Copper river region and the next
was the Alaska Northern railroad,
with its terminus in Resurrection bay
it the town of Seward.
‘‘Now comes the government's pro
ject, through the heart of Alaska’s
rich farming belt connecting an open
all-the-year-round harbor with navi
gable waters of the interior, and mak
ing development of great resource*
possible."
Colonel Mean’ lecture was Illus
trated with six reels of motion pic
tures, showing the progress of the
government's project scenes along
the route and many interesting Alas
kan views and incidents.
