NOTES FROM THE
UMLMLEET SECTION
I'nalakleet. April 24, 1920
Charles Carlson and Fred Webster,
both of whom recently came in from
!the Outside, arrived from St Michael
on the 16th for a short visit. Headers
of the Xupset may recall that the two
men went to the Outside last fall as
passengers on the steamship Cordova
and shared,in till the Joys and pleas
ures that hefell her passengers on that
memoratde trip. After attending to
business matters in which they are in
terested. they returned over the winter
trail taking enroute the new quartz
strike and a great deal of the country
from the coast to McKinley. From
the latter point they again journeyed
to the coast at the mouth of the Kus
kokwim river and then proceeded to
St Michael.
Carlson, commenting on the trip
shortly after his arrival here, said:
“Notwithstanding the fact that I
wa- born in Alaska and have lived
lwi • the greater part of my life, the

visible potential wealth have stagger
"Why”.' ""said Charlie, "there is
quarts strike to pay the war debt of
Uncle Sam and then some. And that
is only (lie beginning of the wealth
which in less than a generation will
he developed."
"If", he added, "some of the croak
ers who claim Alaska is dead would
only get nut and do a little ‘rubbering’
on their own account, they would and
Icotild toll the truth about Alaska, in
stead of ‘knocking’.”
Casey and Bwart, two members of
the infantry detachment stationed at
St Michael, had their initial exper
ience on the trail in a recent trip here.

is much prettier, but it is withheld at

search of the kind of a mao whom
she wants as a husband as follows:
My Dear Editor,
I’ve heard of women and men ap
pealing to newspapers when they

one who happens to ask me! And

really love and be glad to belond to!

weigh about a hundred and twenty

I'm “pretty"—well, nearly everyone

I am. My hair Is nice, all coppery

That t foe .Second. Third and Fourth
Division* a-re not. alone.In their .te
non 11 men t and opposition to the craXtlly
conceived road law passed by the last
Territorial Legislature, is clearly Indi
cated in the following scathing de
nunciation of the law and the usee to
which it is being put, received by
jConunlssJoner Barney (ilbney from P.
jJ. Wiley of J.uneau, chairman of Di
1 visional Bond Board No 1. Commis
[•loner Wiley nays:
I most heartily agree with you in
reference to our Territorial Road law*. *
I think it should be left absolutely
[with the Teritory. to look after their
[own roads. If we are not capable of
looking after our olrn roads re had
j better go back to a commission form
I of government, similar to the one re
commended by Ex President Taft,
i The Divisional Board of head Com
missioners as the law now stands Is
only a joke, they are elected by the
people with absolutely no power to
act. and was only put in there to fool
the people, and make them think they
had some representation on the board,.
In looking up the road laws in
several of the states, 1 find that they
mostly all appoint their road super
visors. but they elect their board of
county commissioners by a direct
vote of the people, .and the county
commissioners appoint a rllad sopor
visor. As I understand this ihw, or
rather the intent of the Kw, ts to take
it out of the peoples hands altogether.
House Bill No. 26 was Introduced
by Hcotty Allan of the Second Division
and I understand he was ready to
leave the country at the time be intro
duced the bill and when the Territorial
Legislature adjourned he kept going
and has never returned to Alaska, to
