Very Optimistic—Kenai Population
Express Appreciation.
C. W. Cheatham, Senior Highway
Engineer of the Bureau of Public
Roads in Alaska in comany with A.
M. Myers Division Engineer in charge
at the Seward-Kenai construction
work returned recently from an in
spection trip which took them'as far
as the lower lake. Mr. Cheatham re
turned to Ketchikan on the S. S. Ala
meda. ' Before leaving he was inter
viewed by a representative of the Sew
aid Gateway relative to the future
outlook for the early completion of
the Kenai River Highway and the ap
proximate amount of work that would
be done this spring and summer. He
is highly optimistic over the future
butlook for the country lying betweer
Seward and eKnai and is confident
that the appropriation made this yeai
by Congress will be sufficient to war
rant the employing of more than 15C
men on the two projects now unde]
construction, the Seward-Kenai Lakr
and the uQartz Creek-Russian Rivei
roads. *
“The people of Seward and vicinity
are generally unfamiliar with the
work now being done on^ the Kenai
River lrghway,” said Mr. Cheatham
“The Bureau of Public Roads has dur
ing the past year surveyed and de
veloped many miles of what will event
ua’ly be a first class wagon and auto
mobile road from the town of Seward
to the town of Kenai. The average
man and woman in Alaska knows lit
t’e'or nothing about the Bureau of
Public roads or the work that is being
done. Most of the people in the Ter
ritory are unddr the impression that
the Alaska Road Commission builds
all the roads and trails in Alaska.
This is entirely wrong. The Bureau of
Public Roads and the Alaska Road
Commission are entirely separate or
ganizations. The former is under the
supervision of the department of Ag
, riculture while the latter is under the
War Department Both of these oni
ganizations are doing splendid work
In Alaska. We expect this year that
the apropriation by Congress for road
woric to-be done by the Bureau of
• Public Roads in the United States and
; Alaska will be $10,000,000. Of this
amount there will be available for
roads and trails in Alaska approxi
mately $575,000 for each year begin
ning with the fiscal year ending on
June 30th, 1922 and ending with the
fiscal year ending June 30, 1931.
$375,000 of this stun will be utilized
by the Bureau of Public Roads for
trails and roads which are now used
or whiclf may be used for carrying
mail This fund is known as the Post
Road Fond. The balance of $200,000
is the Forestry fund* which will be
used on the roads and trails adjacent
to the National Forests. The woric we
have done during the past year on hte
Kenai River Highway has shortened
the mail service between Seward and
Kenai four days and when the work
is completed will enable the people
of Kenai to have a semi-monthly mail
service. The people who HVe In Sew
ard and Kenai and along the right of
way of tiie new highway are entitled
to a good road and the future develop
meat of the eKnai Peninsula Justifies
the Bureau la building a good high*
way. I will make immediate arrange
ments when I reach Ketchikan, for
the rhipingof caterpillar tractors and
modem road building machinery to
Seward, which will be used this spring.
,ind summer on the Kenai River High
ray. We wfll probably employ as
msay as-110 men Just as soon as the
season, permits, the bridge over the
Kenai River , at Schooner Bend la
rapidly ndarhtg completion and
should be entirely finished and open
for traffic by the ISth of March. The.
bridge -is 350 feet long and contains
three seventy feet trutses;snd a pfl
;0f approach on each «t!des In my
nphrfun the completion of the Kenai
wfll materially bene
fit the town cf Seward. I will teturp
here from time fo time during the
coming season so as to keep in per*
sbnal touch with the work.” .

This road will serve this district
a population of about five hundred In
habitants at the present time, a mode
rii transportation and communication
with the outside world as we are
completely isolated for a period of six
months each year oh account of clos
ed navigation due to ice in Cook In
let ’
The district^hrough which this road
vill pass is rich in game and is . a
-uturc agricultural district and the
lack of good roads is the one great
ibstide in the development of the
mining industry which is of consider
able value on this route.
At the present tiips we get our
mail four times during the winter sea
son from Seward, via. Roosevelt and
the absence, of a good road makes
*:his a most hazardous undertaking, re
quiring at times a month to make
the trip. v . v
• The necessity of this road is tm
-jressed most keenly upon our minds
"r.r at the present time we have a
-I an in Kenai with frozen feet, badly
n peed of medical aid, but owing to
he pr* sent conditions of the country
t, i? almost impossible to transport
Vm to the neares physician at Sew
ard. During the flu epidemic, two
*”‘ars ago, the necessity of this road
hrough such a populated district was
■*.ost vividly brought to our minds,
s we have neither nurse or phyai
an to aid us.
We most, earnestly petition you to
*d us in relieving these conditions,,
hich will be a permanent benefit, by
nropriating funds to make this a
iitable road.
