LOOKING AHEAD
* Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
a the Northland, and Justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm
* faith in the Territory’s possibilities and worth. By aiming high and

! askan progress can accomplish much. “Looking Ahead” to still great*
l er things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one way that
r i a high purpose can be reaHzed. ,

S Alaska; and that the future is bright and promising is attested by

CONSIDERABLE PROGRESS MADE
ON TEN-YEAR PROGRAM OUT
LINED BY COLONEL STEESE
At the annual conference of super
idents of the Alaska Road Commis
sion, to be held in Juneau this week,
plans for the summer’s operations will
be discussed and a program of opera
tion announced.
Among the superintendents in at
tendance at the conference are: T.
H. Huddleston, Valdez; R. J. Sheperd,
Chitina; Hawley W. Sterling, Fair
banks; M. C. Edmonds, Anchorage,
and John Coates, who is traveling me
chanical engineer.Ike Taylor, assist
ant chief engineer, stationed in Ju
neau, will be a party to the discussion.
The matters under discussion will
have to do with the five organized dis
tricts coming within the scope of the
Alaska Road Commission’s activities.
These are Valdez, which includes the
projects in the Third division south
of Willow creek on the Richardson
highway and in the Prince William
Sound area; Chitina, which embraces
all projects south of the rapids and
eastward in the Third division to the
International boundary; Anchorage,
all projects in the Alaska Railroad
area south and including Mt. McKin
ley National Park and westward to
Rainey Pass in the Alaska range,
including the Alaska Peninsula and
Kodiak; Fairbanks, all projects in the
Tanana and Yukon valleys between
Eagle and Kaltag, extending south to
the Kantishna and Poorman in the
Ruby district and north to the Endi
cott range including primarily the
Kolukuk and Chandelar mining dis
tricts, located well within the Arctic
Circle.
In these* districts are expended the
bulk of the Federal funds on a con
nected system of roads and trails from
open south ports to all inhabited parts
of the Territory. These projects tie
into the Alaska Railroad at 27 differ
ent stations.
During the past year Colonel James
G. Steese made extensive inspection
of the projects in the Nome and Kus
kokwim districts so that the the Alas
ka Road Commission is fully inform
ed on the projects there, where op
erations will be substantially on the
same basis as last year, according to
Colonel Steese. The Nome district in
cludes the Nome harbor on which
approximately §25,000 was spent last
year. This work is expected to con
tinue on the same basis next season.
Activities in the First division will
be greatly increased during the com
ing season, including numerous road
projects, the dredging of ‘the Wran
gell Narrows, the construction of the
new government wharf at Juneau and
five preliminary examinations and sur
veys.
The program in other districts will
not be announced until after the con
ference.
Despite the scantiness of appro
priations at the inception of Colonel
Steese’s ten-year program drawn up
in 1920, great progress has been made
in roadbuilding. This program called
for §1,000,000 annually. In the first
five years §3,500,000 has been appro
priated by Congress, much of which
had to be applied to maintenance of
projects already completed. Owing to
the development of new projects the
original program was revised in 1924
with §9,000,000 recommended for the
succeeding five years, with which to
speed up and work out newly develop
ed projects. With the §1,000,000 re
