CACHE CREEK
The Times has had occasion to
make editorial comment on the neces
sity for a wagon road leading from
the government railway at a point
near Talkeetna to the Mt. McKinley
district. The matter has resulted in
a request that Representatives Price
and Cannon urge the passage of a
joint resolution by the Alaska legis
lative assembly, looking toward ade
quate road and trail building as feed
ers to the big railway project, and
particularly urging the construction
of a wagon road to the Mt. McKinley
district.
The joint resolution and petition are i
self-explanatory and follow:
HOUSE JOINT MEMORIAL NO. —
To the Honorables, the Secretary of |
War, the Secretary of the Interior j
and Colonel W. P. Richardson,
Chairman Alaska Road Commis
sion.
Your memorialists, the Senate and
House of Representatives of the Ter
ritory of Alaska, respectfully repre
sent:
Conscious, as we are, of our de
pendence upon Federal Government
for administrative improvements, ap
preciating and profoundly grateful
for all its great work in our behalf in
the past, and realizing that this terri
tory is at the threshhold of an era of.
great and wonderful development of j
its vast and immeasurable resources: j
and
Whereas, there are still many sec- j
tions unserved and woefully lacking I
in any kind of transportation facili
ties, and it is pitiful to note the heroic
struggles being made by these peo-1
pies to overcome and secure half de- j
cent outlets to markets; and
Whereas, it is cruelty refined, to i
bid such hardy pioneers, whether
miner, prospector or farmer, to wait, j
—and again wait, until the period of.
hardest struggles is past, ere, vital
assistance is given by way of wagon i
roads; that while the Government’s ■
great railroad that is being construct- 1
ed, should be of incalculable benefit to
all parts of Alaska,—and an undying
monument to that great Commoner,—
President Woodrow Wilson,—and his
great Secretary of Interior, Franklin
K. Lane,— yet it will fall far short of
anticipated results,—unless communi
ty and family life be encouraged and
helped,—unless the miner, prospector
and farmer are aided and points
stretched in their favor,—and unless
supplemented by hundreds of wagon
road feeders,—without vexatious and
unreasonable official red tape delays, :
for tonnage and traffic it must have ;
or it dies: and
Whereas, notwithstanding discour
agements, by natural and unnatural
obstacles thrown in the way of de
velopment,—there is no more promis
ing section in the territory, or one
more in dire need of immediate wag
on road facilities, than the Cache
Creek country, to which a road can
be built on practically water grade,
by following some such route as this:
Commencing at a point above five
miles north of the mouth of Sunshine
Creek, at and on the main line of gov
ernment railroad; thence crossing the
Susitna river, for the present, on a
cable ferry; thence in a due north
westerly direction to said Cache
Creek, approximate distance of 30
miles; that said mineral district com
prises an area of about 1,800 square
miles: that said proposed wagon road
would serve and make accessible hun
dreds of acres of agricultural, graz
ing and timber-land; that the only
means of ingress and egress to said
district, is by small boats, launches or
through a trailless country, causing
intense hardships and enormous ex
pense, which at times seems to be
sufficient to prohibit further attempts
of development along any lines of
endeavor or investment; and
Whereas, a reasonable estimate of
cost of said road, including the ferry,
will not* exceed Three Hundred Dol
lars per mile; and
Whereas, since the discovery of
mineral in said Cache creek country,
from 1906 to 1916 inclusive, and de
spite enormous expenses, there has
been produced, over $700,000 in gold
and over $5,000 in silver; that the
freight rates into said district are
over $80 per ton and that this charge
can be easily cut in half by building
said road; that within the aforemen
tioned area, there are now, not less
than 30 mining camps, in more or less
conditon of real and bona fide stages
of development, consisting of placer,
hydraulic, dredging and lode mining;
and
Whereas, the Alaskan Engineering
Commission, in its report for the year
1916, said of this district: “When a
railroad is constructed, it is thought,
that a wagon road can be built from
the fork of the Chulitna and Susitna
Rivers,—a distance of about 40 miles.
It is quite probable that there are
valuable gold lodes all through the
district and along the foothils of the
Mt. McKinley range."
Resolved, Therefore, that we re
spectfully urge upon you the necessi
I ty of building this wagon road this
i coming summer, in view of the great
I benefit which would be conferred up
j on the people of Alaska now, and for
all future years. Give our people a
liberal policy in road matters, a sym
pathetic one, and then, they, on their
part, will begin a work that will
last for ages—plant a new society,
subdue a wilderness, fill this great
territory stretching as it does to the
poles with civilization and Christian
ity, with temples and schools, with
millions of contented, happy and pros
perous homes, extending over thou
i sands of hills and mountains and
along thousands of rivers and val
leys. They will whiten our coast
with the canvas of prosperous com
merce and studded with hundreds of
enterprising towns. In the light of
the foregoing, we deem this road
i matter imperative and pray most ear
nestly your kindest consideration
| thereof.
Further, Resolved, that the Secre
tary of the Territory of Alaska, be
instructed to forward certified copies
of this Memorial to the following:
One to the Secretary of War, one to
the Secretary of Interior and one to
Colonel W. P. Richardson, chairman
of Alaska Road Commission.
PETITION.
To the Honorables, Frank Cannon,
Thomas Price, Charles M. Day, Rep
resentatives, John Ronan and O. P.
Hubbard, Senators of the Third Leg
islative District of the Territory of
Alaska.
We your petitioners, miners, pros
pectors, farmers and citizens general
ly of this section of Alaska would re
spectfully represent:
That we send you in this mail a
Memorial, addressed to several feder
al government officials, which you
will note is self-explanatory. May
we kindly ask you, for its introduc
tion and passage, at the very earliest
possible date and a certified copy sent
to each of said officials. Permit us
to pray you, for immediate action in
the matter. We send you likewise,
our names and addresses, so that, if
you deem it advisable you will be en
abled to send a copy of said list to
each one of said officials.
Respectfully submitted,
Dated this first day of March, 1917.

Tuesday’s basketball game will be
played between the High School giris
and the Cleaner’s team.
Mr. and Mrs. Vint gave a party for
the high school students last Friday
evening at their home in the Lathrop
apartments. The evening was spent
in guessing contests and games after
which a two-course luncheon was
served.
“Three times and out, but ours was
in.” The high school girls were vic
torious last Tuesday evening. The
score was 6 to 4. Comments around
the hall were that it was the best
played game of the season.
The monthly tests were given last
week in all subjects.
The following pupils of Miss Reats’
room have received 100 in spelling for
one month: Esther Thompson, Ar
thur Hanson and Edna Rathwell.
The school victrola has been taken
to the primary room where it is being
used for the children to march by.
The German class is now translat
ing short stories which are much more
interesting than the grammar lessons.

DO YOU WASTE MONEY?
Almost every one does. Bread cast upon the
water comes back again. But when you throw
money away it mighty seldom ever comes back.
What’s going to happen to you when you have
no more money to waste? Why not open an ac
count here ? $1.00 does it. Doing it once a week
for a year means $52 to the good for you—and
the interest we pay you in our Savings Depart
ment. Try it for a few months, you will be sur
prised to find how fast your account will grow.
