ROSS KINNEY RETIRES
AS ROAD SUPERVISOR
John B. Heidert has arrived to
t
take the position left vacant by
the retirement of Ross Kinney as
supervisor of the Alaska Road i
commission in this division.
Mr. Heibert is a civil engineer
from New York state and has had
experence in Alaska working on
he Alaska Highway.
Ross Kinney will be missed, as
he is known from Point Barrow
down the Kuskokwim by every i
native in every little village. He
served the Territory faithfully, .
staking many a winter trail and
covering countless miles by dog
team long before the day of
planes. He holds a record for the
many trips he has taken on foot
and is one of the fastest walkers |
in the country.
The following poem is dedi
cated to him by a pioneer who j
admires his faithful years of serv- i
ice. It expresses the feelings of'
many of his friends.
To An Arlcic Trail Builder
For two score years he has
worked for the improvement
of the land,
Fighting through the hard long
years, with a keen unfailing
will,
Never grudging time or effort
spent, or shirking any task at,
hand,
Never turning down a worthy
cause that he coulc^ possibly
fulfill.
Driving dogs . across the frozen
snow, struggling through a
raging gale,
Unmindful of his freezing feet
and hands, thinking only of
the gain
In blazing out new roads for men,
seeking to improve the trails,
In building shelters to protect
the travelers from snow and
rain.
I
Traveling days on end, foodless,
weary, unshaven and unclean,
Digging into snow for shelter,
struggling on again at dawn;
Mindful always of the country’s
needs, as a bridge across the
stream,
Or making notes for prompt re- i
pair of some cabin that had
fallen down.
I
i
Meeting miners, trappers on the
way, and listening to their
requests
I
For trails to some prospective;
mine, or a trapper’s lonely
camp;
Skirting swamps and blasting
rocks, and choosing routes he
knew were best,
Digging, sweating, pushing
through unmindful of the
miles he tramped.

Working so that other men might
suffer less along the way.

Forty years he spent in service,!

And now he chooses to retire
and his old and many friends j
Wish him long and happy days to |
come and sincerely will be
glad,
If he should wander back along
the way, to shake his hand
again. —D.Z.G. i

Himmler and Goering are all
