A TRUNK LINE
FROM SEWARO
Major Richardson Speaks of the
probability of its Being
Built at Once.
i
Major W. P. Richardson, chairman of
the road commission in Alaska, is pre
paring his report of the road work in
the territory for this season. In this
report bespeaks of the far reaching
effect in opening up the interior of the
country by what he calls a trunk line
svstem of wagon roads. One of these
is that marked out last winter by Pul
liam and Goodwin. Of this Major
Richardson says: ‘‘It may be held
back for a year or so to see what
development lakes place on the lvusko
kwimand the Innoko. This trail is
planned from Sunrise, on Cook inlet,
up through .he Susitna valley, across
the head of the Kuskokwim, through
the Innoko country, across the Vukon
at Kahag. and thence to Norton bay.
If the country this proposed line passes
through makes a substantial showing,
the road will without doubt be built at
once, for I have found congress willing
to give the money when it can be
shown that any region is producing
good.’’
This trunk line, it will be seen, con
nects directly with Seward, as there is
now a tine wagon road from Sunrise to
mile ill on the Alaska Central railway.
The showing that lias been made in
the Innoko country during the past
season and with the probability of
other rich finds in that section it is
highly probable that congress will
this winter appropriate the money
needed for this favorite trunk line of
Major Richardson from Sunrise to
Norton bay, in which event the work
will be begun next summer.

By Cable to The Daily Gateway. j
San Francisco, Nov. 11—Mayor Ed
ward 11. Taylor this morning appoint
ed a committee of seven leading citi
zens to investigate the graft prosecu-1
lion.
The unsavory reports that have been
circulated through the medium of the
press and by other public means have
led t he mayor to take this action, it j
has been publicly announced and re
peatedly affirmed that through the j
influence of money freely used as!
bribes there would be no convictions)
in the graft prosecution cases. The j
long continuance of these cases and;
the failure to convict has given a show j
of truth to these unsavory reports and !
makes necessary an official investi-j
gation.
