WILLIAMS INFORMS i
! ID BUILDERS AT i
SESSION, ALASKA;
| ALASKA DELEGATE TO CLEVE. !
LAND CONVENTION MAKES j
INTERESTINK TALK
Road builders from Maine mingled i
with road builders from California, as I
well as from Mexico and Alaska, in !
fact from just about every State in;
the Union, at rhe recent 25th conven-j
tion of the American Road Builders,
at Cleveland, the forepart of last,
month.
The delegate to the convention from
Alaska was M. D. Williams, district ;
engineer of Alaska, Bureau of Public
Roads. And that he served Alaska |
well is evidenced by a copy of the
Cleveland Press, which reached The
Gateway office in the last mail.
Extracts from the convention bear
ing on Mr. Williams, and Alaska, are
republished:
Altho handicapped by every natur
al handicap, great progress in road j
building is being made in Alaska, Wil
liams reported at the opening session, j
‘,A discussion of road construction
methods in Alaska before a group of
men like this,” he said, “is very much
like demonstrating kindergarten meth
ods as an educational feature before j
a class of calculus.
‘‘Many of the methods which circum !
stances and conditions force upon us ;
have long been superseded in the j
greater portion of the United States, i
Ours is an archipelago comprised of
thousands of islands varying from a j
few square feet to a million acres—all I
heavily timbered and interspread J
with navigable waterways.
“The saturated condition of the j
ground,” Williams pointed out, ’’makes
the use of heavy equipment impossi
ble.” In practically all cases subgrades
are allowed to settle and drain for
one year before an attempt is made
to apply surfacing.
‘‘The maintenance and construc
; tion of all roads during the winter
months offers a number of unusual
! problems,” the speaker declared, j
“First, the very short period of day
1 light practicaly precludes .all con
struction should weather conditions
1 permit., and in the higher and inland
portions of the territory glaciating of
small streams and heavy nowfall
make snow removal and winter main
tenance impossible.
“Coast roads are open at all times,
altho the maintenance is made diffi
cult because of the varying frost con
ditions in the saturated subsoil. These j
roads' are maintained by the U. S.!
Bureau of Public Roads under the’
Federal highway act. Approximately
$500,000 of Federal forest funds are
expended annually by this organixa
tion in co-operation with the Territor
ial Board.”
THE FIRST NEW FORD
Seward Ford fans caught their first
glimpse of the new Ford automobile
Saturday when a sedan arrived from j
Seattle on the S. S. Yukon. Throngs
were about the fine looking car con
tinuously. The sedan is for the Samp
son Hardware Co., in Fairbanks and is
the first of the new models to pass
over the Seward dock.
Snow drifts from four feet to 15
feet deep covered a stretch of 120
miles along the railroad Saturday in
the Cury and Broad Pass region, it is
reported.
The longer you deal with this old
established market of Carstens the
better you will like it.
SECOND STOMP MILL IS
BEING SHIPPED TO MINE
!
Albert P. Marrion, head of the
Marrion Twin Gold Mine Co., in the
Willow Creek district, was' among
the well known Alaskans arriving in
Seward Saturday from the South. On
his way up from California, where he
spent a number of months this win
ter, he stopped off at Juneau to com
plete arrangements for shipping a
five stamp mill to his mining prop
erty. He already has one five stamp
mill in operation at the mine.
Accompanying Mr. Marrion is T. J
Doogan, one of the' company’s of
ficials. Mr. Marrion is an oldtimer in
the Territory having arrived 25 years
ago.
QUAKE ROCKED THE CITY
An earthquake shock struck Seward
yesterday morning at 12 minutes to
11 o’clock setting everything to swing
ing in residences. No damage resulted
as far as can be learned.
Twenty-one hours were required j
before the northend rotary could cut
i^s way thru the snow bound area be
tween Curry and Willow, on Satur
day, it is reported.
