WINTER HAVENS OF SHELTER
Again demonstrating in a practical way that they j
have the welfare of Alaskans at heart twenty-four ;
hours of every day, and whether that day he during ]
the summer or winter, the Alaska Road Commission,
of which Major Malcolm Elliott, its president, is hon- i
oring Seward with a week’s visit, a few weeks ago as
signed to one of its members, J. R. Van Winkfe, the
task of making his way down to Gene Lake on the
eighty mile winter trail over which a fearless dog-'
musher carries the U. S. mail between the town of Ke
nai and the Alaska Railroad, and there construct a re
lief cabin. This would enable the mail carrier to shelter
himself and dogs at two different points on the long
trek—a God-send during stormy weather.
Once he had his orders, Winkle lost .no time em
barking on his humanitarian mission and, on January
31, reported the job finished.
That’s the kind of cooperation and execution by
governmental departments we never grow weary;
bragging about; the brand that Major Elliott and his
men render.
We have said it before, but the Alaska Road;
Commission, U. S. Army, name has been carved in the
hearts of Alaskans and from the earliest days of the
Territory they have fought side by side with the pio
neers turning the wilderness into homes and industry.
A REAL FIRE HAZARD PRESENT
With the City Council in regular session this
evening it is expected the councihnen will take up the
subject of city streets.
The heavy snowfall of the past week has created
a Situation which is extremely hazardous in connection
who suppressing fires. With few exceptions, it is
doubtful if the fire-fighting apparatus could negotiate
the streets which are blocked with snow and no path
ways cut through.
It can be assumed that at the meeting tonight, the
council will institute immediate street-clearing activi
ties and eliminate the present risk from fire. It has been
years since a similar situation has arisen and it is
hoped that it will be years again before such an un
seasonable fall of snow occurs.
It s line to see those old pals—Coolidge and
Davis, and Hoover and Smith—all rooting for the Red
Cross.
