PAYS TRIBUTE TO WORK OF
LOCAL ROAD COMMISSION
Nowhere* throughout Alaska an- the
winter trails mo well staked or shelter
cabins so numerous or well maintained
as in the Second Division, according
to Chris Cudmundxun, representative
of the Alaska Siberian Trading Co.,
who recently arrived from the Outside
after traveling: in every division of the
territory in the course of his fur trad
ing: operations.
“Every where one goes in this .sec
tion." he says, “well staked trails are
found, and the shelter cabins are not
only numerous and well situated but
a re maintained in much better manner
than those In the other districts. The
shelter cabins in other sections are
usually found in a decidedly filthy
state and frequently in need of repairs.
Her*- one always finds things in tlie
best **f shape and with a good supply
of wood on hand ready for the next
fellow who finds occasion to seek their
"Ami as for the trail staking work,”
lie continued, "there Is no comparison
between this and the other divisions.
About all one sees in the shape of
[.•■■take;; in the other divisions is a small
pronged willow or branch sticking up
here and there above the snow. There
is no semhlfince of trail staking any
where in the territory like that we
have here. Practically all of our main
trails are staked with large permanent
stakes which can almost be followed
by a blind man and the temporary
stakes with their red flags are kept
up in a manner exceedingly creditable
to I toad Commissioner Barney f.ihney
and his assistants. A person can
hardly go anywhere here without hav
ing a plainly staked trail to guide
them but one can travel for miles be
tween important points in the interior
and more southerly sections without
seeing a sign *.f a clearly defined trail
