WITH REGARD TO ROAD
CONDITIONS IN THE
CANDLE DISTRICT
Why is this road money so un
evenly distributed? And why is it
that Candle. the oldest camp on the
Peninsula gets the leAst roadwork?
Candle has six miles of road, while
Decring, 1 am told, has 30 miles of
good road and was this year allowed
$7,000 for roadwork. According
to reports Dime Creek has in its
short life received sufficient money
to complete a seven mile stretch of
road. This year Candle received
$2,000 for road work. Now why is
it that Candle, that has always, in
its twenty one years of existence
been a good independent and self
supporting camp, and is be no
means worked out, should be satis
fied with only $2,000, while our lit
tle neighbor gets $7,000?
The amount allotted to Candle is
not enough to keep the little stretch
of road in good condition, let alone
extending the highway any further.
When we came down from Jump
Creek the road work for the season
had been completed and the road
was in a fearful condition. We
nearly drowned in the mud. No.19
Patterson Creek is the end of the
road and from there on there is no
road at all, altho the road is sup
posed to go thru there. There is
•never enough money to continue the *
road farther. With what is sup
posed to be our share of the road
funds they should, besides keeping
the short stretch in good condition,
extend the road farther, be able to
continue a short stretch each year
and eventually make a good road
so that the miner could benefit
thereby.
With Regard to Telephone and
Telegraph.
Why, with the inconveniences
that are ours, should we not be able
to obtain a decent telegraph sys
tem? An out of the way place like
Norvik has a wireless and receives
news every day, while we people of
Candle go months without receiving
word from the Outside.
If I am accused of exaggerating
conditions I ask that unbelievers re
fpr to anyone in Candle and estab
lish the truth or falsity of my state
Taking into consideration Mail
Service, Transportation. Telephone,
Telegraph and Road Commissions it
behooves some or all of the officials
to make an investigation and make
an attempt to afford us a square
deal. We ask nothing unreason
able, we insist uipon our Tights.
MRS. SWANSON.
Candle, Alaska.

which left Nome last Monday.
Thursday afternoon no word had
been received of or from the Sea

some other traeans to obtain trans

to remain in Teller for the winter,
letting the boat freeze in and in
the spring proceed to .Banks Land,

Prevailed upon by the marooned
miners who must catch the Victoria
lor the States, Capt. Crawford con
sented to bring thp party to this
port. He did so. He made »
quick and safe trip, leaving Teller
Thursday afternoon at 3:30 and ar
rived In Nome Friday afternoon at
about the same time. 3:45.
Captain Crawford will retur to
Teller and carry out his original
plan for the winter. He under
stands that about 16 tons of freight
are still left in Nome consigned to
Mr. Chase and If the goods have not
been taken the Letty will transport
them to Teller, from which point
they can readily be carried to their
destination.
Mr. Hobson and his party express
alarm over the 8ea Wolf situation.
Having left Nome Monday ah** sure
ly should have reached Teller be
fore Thursday. According to her
schedule she should have made the
round trip by tcdaor.
