signs of life or travel and when the sun
was indistinguishable.
These men of experience in Alaska?
tl ose who know something of the dis
strict beyond the limits of the town o^
Juneau and its immediate environment
?concede that the commission did much
work in the few weeks and with the
j limited sum of money it had at its corn
I m ind last summer and fall. Men who
j have undertaken mining development
in the Alaskan interior and who have
had experience in preparing for devel
I opment work agree that to make a re
' c n nuisance of the entire district o
Alaska in four months and to determine
upon a comprehensive course of proced
ure in road building and to do it all
with $28,000 is a remarkable perform
i ance for three men.
As an illustration of how baseless is
I the charge that the road commission is
| dilatory it might le mentioned that on
June 20, of the present year, an appro
priation of $35,000 became uvailable for
a government survey between the
Tanana valley and Seward peninsula.
On July 12, just three weeks afterward,
the work was under way. In the mean
time, Lieut. Orchard had made a trip to
Seattle where he purchased horses for
the work and secured supplies which
have been received at Fairbanks.
The cost of the roads that will have
' been constructed as soon as the work
can be done at Haines and Ketchikan
I will be about $2500 a mile, which is not
| a high price in any timbered country
for good roads.
| The work on the Valdez-Fairbanks
| road is now well under way, as is that
in the Seward peninsula and that on the
I Tanana creeks. On the first mentioned
| road two large bridges have been con
| structed besides many smaller ones.
