WORK OF BUREAU OF ROADS
Since July 1, 1920, all roads within the national for
ests of Alaska have been constructed and maintained by
the Bureau of Public Roads, which has constructed a to
tal of 166.9 miles of roadways which are now under main
tenance. There has been approximately $2,850,000 made
available for the roads in and adjacent to national forests
in Alaska by federal appropriations. In addition to fed
eral funds, co-operative funds have been made available
by the territory to the amount of $195,000, making a to
tal available to June 30, of $3,045,000 for the expenditure
by the bureau on roads in the national forests of the Ter
ritory. The funds expended for the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1926, aggregate $554,350.97.
One of the outstanding features of road construction
by the Bureau of roads is the thoroughness and perfec
tion in evidence in the roads thus far constructed as is
shown in the roadway extending from Seward north
ward.
There is hope that the bureau will see its way clear to
extend the Seward road into the peninsular country, one
of the big forest areas, and a field where many industrial
operations may be undertaken, including mining fur
farming, timber utilization and agriculture. No enter
prise wrould have greater influence upon the development
of natural resources adjacent to Seward or go farther
toward adding to the wealth of this portion of the Terri
tory.
A French writer says the idea of Pan-Europe, as con
sidered by Americans is folly because it takes into con
sideration neither the intense individualsm of the Euro
pean nations and the interlaced bonds which tie them to
gether. In other words there would no longer be an ex
cuse to go to war, and the Junkers would have to go to
work.
A hundred thousand dolls as “messengers of friend
ship^ from the children of America to children of Japan,
according to plans now under way, will be sent to partici
pate in the “Hina Matsuri,” the annual festival of the
dolls in Japan.
A New York scientist has formed new conclusions
with regard to the behavior of the liver under traumatic
conditions, wfifile the police have fixed conclusions about
the behavior of high livers under prohibition conditions.
Writing on what is news in Washington, Clinton
Gilbert says that the President away from Washington
is a story. A Congressman or Senator away is not a story.
No, when the date is March 4, it becomes a tragedy.
