The Alaska Steamship Co. linot
Victoria returned from St. Michael
shortly before midnight Saturday and
is now at Ft. Davis discharging some
thing over a thousand tons of coal for
the military station. Owing to tho
heavy, surf the steamer was unable to
discharge the small cargo of Nome
freight carried op, the present voyage
until yesterday afternoon and remain
ed idle in the offing throughout the
greater part of Sunday. With the
subsidence of the surf during the after
noon. the second class mail still aboard
was landed, together with the perish
ables. The remaining cargo was
placed ashore during the evening.
The steamer brought no passengers
for Nome from St. Michael aside from
General Morrison and his hide, who
are on a tour of inspection of tho
various military posts and signal sta
tions in the territory.
The vessel will remain at Ft.Davis
for the next two or three days. De
parture for Seattle Is scheduled for
July 24. The next Seattle sailing date
is August 10th.
The Chamber of Commerce is pre
paring to undertake an organized ef
fort to further those much discussed
road construction projects, the Nome
Kougarok-Candle highway. through
the heart of the Peninsula, and the
Nome-Kaltag road, which is expected
to be ultimately connected with the
proposed western extension of the
government •railroad from Seward.
The Chamber is preparing data rela
tive to the military necessity for the
establishment of trunk highways In
this section, as well as the commercial
and industrial benefits to be derived
from their construction, and will later
prepare circular matter setting forth
the .uguments based thereon for cir
culation in Washington and among
those interested in the development of
the territory. Members of the body
say there is every reason to believe]
that congress can be induced to takei
an interest in the projects and grant
an appropriation to start tho work.
A long delayed letter from Col. C.
L. Sturdevant arriving on the Spring
fleet discloses that the completion of
tho Snake liiver barber improvement
next year may he held up by the War
Department in the event of the city
falling to take steps toward the in
stallation of a public terminal or
wharf at some point on tho harbor
Col. Stiudevant's communication
points out that the- River and Harbor
Rill of March 2. 1919 clothes the Sec
retary of War with strong discretion
ary powers which enable him to with
hold public monies appropriated un
der the act when in his opinion no
water terminals exist a lcquate to the
handling of the existing or contem
plated traffic and open to shippers on
equal terms, or when he is given no
satisfactory assurances that local or
other interests will provide adequate
terminals.
The proposal of the city council to
construct n city dock at some point on
the liver basin next year is, therefore,
in full keeping with the demands of
the act yn which the completion of
tho harbor improvement may depend.
Failure to make some ffiovision for a'
public terminal is very likely to result
in refusal by the War Department to
proceed with the construction and a
resultant delay in completion of the
much needed shipping Improvement.
