ANCHORAGE, ALASKA, THURSDAY, MAY -4, 1917.
ROAD AND TRAIL WORK.
It now begins to appear that the Cook inlet country and
the Cache creek placer mining district will come in tor some
substantial road and trail building this season. From various
sources, the Alaska road commission and the territorial road
supervisor- will have more funds at their disposal this yarv
than ever before in the history of the territory. The Cook inlet
country and the Cache creek district have been sadly neglected
in the matter of roads and trails in the past, but we believe that
there is now a dispositon on the part of the Alaska road com
mission to do the fair thing this year with these regions, so
badly in need of good roads and trails and bridges. There is
nothing that so contributes to the development of a country
as good roads.
Anton Fide, an experienced road and trail builder, who
1ms long been in the service of the Alaska road commission as
a superintendent, will, it is understood, have immediate charge
of road construction on behalf of this commission, in this sec
tion. A. A. Shonbeck, one of the most substantial, wide awake
business men in this community, has been selected by the rep
resentatives in the Alaska legislature as one of the members of
the divisional board of road supervisors, and his appointment
will be ratified by the governor. In company with Road Super
visor Wilson, he will have much to say with respect to the dis
position of funds at the disposal of the divisional board.
On the whole, it looks mighty encouraging for a compre
hensive scheme of road and trail building in this long-neglect
ed part of Alaska.

The Anchorage Woman’s club, an energetic organization
that is always alive to the situation, proposes to take the init
iative in the establishment of a Red Cross society in this com
munity. As we understand if. the club is merely taking the in
itiative in the matter, the society to be formed to be separate
and apart from the dub organization. The world war has done
much to bring the women to the front. Their loyalty and self
sacrifice have placed them above the masculine gender. Phy
sically, the feminine gender is the weaker sex. but in the poss
ession of high attributes and in all things that make for a bet
ter world in which to live, the women folks can teach us much
that is of value. The fiction that woman was made from the
rib of a man, with the ancients have passed down to us, seems
incredible in the light of the activities of females in the present
day, unless we subscribe to the theory that this rib was the best
part of the male.
Those taking the initiative in the reindeer-raising industry
report very encouraging progress in the disposal of stock in
the company. Indeed, we are informed that the success of the
enterprise is now assured, to the extent that sufficinet funds
are in sight to insure the purchase of a considerable herd as a
starter. The company is fortunate in securing the services of
Dr. H. 0. Schaleben, as general manager, because of his ex
tended experience in the reindeer industry. For years, he was
in charge of the large government reindeer herds in the South
western part of Alaska, and knows the business in every detail.
Capable management will insure the success of this enterprise,
which means much to the Cook inlet country.
Every sane and sensible person must deplore the war situa
tion, although convinced that the United States is acting in
the right. We have no patience, however, with those calamity
howlers who insist that the war with Germany will make for
hard times in this country. Viewed from the dollar stand
point, the war will create the most prosperous times in the
history of this country, because billions of dollars will be cir
culated, that otherwise would not be expended.
The Mt. McKinley region has no tinner friend than Prof,
llerschel Parker, of Columbia university, and in the matter of
building of an auto road from Talkeetna. or some other advan
tageous point on the government railway line, to the newly
created national park, his influence will count for much, be
cause he is one of the best-informed men with respect to the big
mountain. _’jit
Well, we observe a flag pole on the public school grounds,
which leads to the hope that the flag will soon be forthcoming.
We are not always in harmony with the townsite mana
gers, but we are in full accord with the splendid effort that is
being made to place every available plot of ground under cul
tivation for truck gardening.
Our merchants and business men generally report business
conditions remarkably good in this community. Commercial
travelers, who know whereof they speak, openly declare that
Anchorage is by far the best town in Alaska—and “best” to
them, means the place where they can gain the most business.
When work on the harbor improvements planned for Ship
creek are under way—which will be but a matter of days—
business conditions, now flourishing, will increase several fold.
The war will not disturb the mining industry; indeet^it
will stimulate it, for the metals and minerals are needed all the
more.

Recent explorations on Treasure
creek, in the Fairbanks district, which
in the early days of the district yield
ed much gold, has revealed further
| high graae pay. Beatty, Hamilton
and partners recently sunk a shaft on
! Treasure on the same ground worked
by Woodson and partners years ago
and drifting into the old Woodson
workings they picked up the same
rich pay which Woodson had, but
without encountering the water which
drove the former operators from the
ground. It is believed that the Vault
creek workings of recent years have
drained the water off. As high as $1
per pan has been found by the new
operators.
