i (By W. A. S.)— Paul C. O’Connor,

i his release. The Department is

point Rev. Francis Meneger as

The Seward Chamber of Com
merce writes urging the coopera
iton of the Delegate in complet
ing the highway that will connect
Seward and Moose Pass. The proj
ect has been surveyed and the
field work completed and now it
I is hoped soon to have station work
started, which would tend to re
lieve an acute labor situation. It
is also expected that the comple
tion of the project would mater
ially assist in the development of
agricultural and mineral resources
on Kenai Peninsula. The road
already runs 20 miles north of
Seward but there is a gap of 13
miles south of Moose Pass and
the estimated cost of construction
through canyons is $700,000. When
this is built the highway would
extend 45 miles north west of
Moose Pass to Hope on Cook In
let, and 33 miles south of Moose
Pass making a through highway
of 78 miles from Seward. There
is available forestry money to
start this work but the project
must first have the endorsement
of District Forester Flory, the Al
aska Road Commission and the
Bureau of Public Roads.

The Geological Survey has just
completed and sent to the Del
egate a copy of a new edition of
a large wall map of Alaska, which
has been revised and brought up
to date. It is a sale publication
and will prove valuable to those
concerned.

The Commissioner of Indian
Affairs has taken up the matter
of establishing a school for the
natives at Stephens Village with
Chas. W. Hawksworth, acting chief
of the Alaskan division. A recent
petition indicates that there are
27 children now in need of tui
tion and Mr. Hawksworth express
es the opinion that a school is
needed at this location. It seems
that for 16 years the Episcopal
Church maintained a mission and
conducted a school at St. Steph
ens, but these have not been in
effect for several years past.
Ernest Walker Sawyer, who spent
the past summer in Alaska, ac- i
companying the various Congres- i
sional delegations and the Los j
Angeles party, has returned to i
Washington and after brief trips j
to New York and Boston will pro- !
ceed to the Pacific Coast, where
he has several matters on con- j
cerning projects for the develop- I
ment of industries in Alaska.

Territory a beautiful portrait-!
