ALASKA’S OPPORTUNITY
Present in the railroad belt today is Senator Ar
thur R. Robinson, member of the Senate Territorial
committee.
Senator Robinson has declared that Alaska’s
share in the Emergency public works program is ten
million dollars; that he is prepared to give every as
sistance in securing this sum, provided Alaska will
make her wants known.
No more welcome news could be received, and
Seward take pride in accepting the hand of friend
ship thus extended and in reciprocation of this good
will.
. But Senator Robinson is but one in the vast or
ganization going to compose the House of Congress
and the administration. He will require vigorous,
earnest action on the part of every man who has an
interest in the Territory, which will call for much al
trustic labor. It is this combined effort which gives
courage to a representative of the people, and em
boldens him to exert his every talent in giving ser
vice to the nation.

i FOUR CREWS ENGAGED ;
BUILDING 46 WILES OF
TIMILS HEM FOREST
Four groups of Emergency con
servation workers are now building
trails in the Chugach National
Forest under the general super
vision of Chief Ranger Wm. Sher
man. Thirty young men comprise
the “army.”
The first group are building a
fine 9-mi!e trail from Cooper’s
Landing to connect with the Moose
Pass Highway.
The second group are engaged
in similar work in Paradise Valley
with the trail beginning at Mile
14, Alaska Railroad. This trail
will be 10 or 12 miles in length.
The third crew is building the
Quartz creek-Lynx creek trail, 13
miles long, south of Turnagain
Arm.
The fourth crew are on the Gull
Rock-Chickaloon river trail job,
a distance of approximately 12
miles.
These trails will offer ingress
and egress to hundreds who pre
viously were more or less isolated
and to those folks tne trails are
greatly appreciated, naturally.
The majority of the young men
were recruited in this district and,
according to Mr. Sherman, are not
only building splendid trails, but
thoroughly enjoying heir tasks.
Well fed and well clothed, the men
are ccmfortable and contented as
a bunch of calves. When they
come out on the fall everyone of
them will be in perfect physical
condition and in their jeans will
be heard the musical tinkle of the
coin of the realm, enough to see
them thru the winter, at least
