We happened to live in another part
of Alaska once, and during that time
we were privilaged to observe the result
of a good road upon a certain mining
district. Seven or eight years ago the
district mentioned was as much of a
starveout camp as any in the Territory
and it was a lucky operator that could
make his ground pay dividends. This
was not the fault of the ground, as it
was rich enough, but rather the fault
of high cost of transportation. At that
time it was impossible for a person to
put in an ou tfit of grub without going
in the hole.
There was a wagon road of
sorts but it was no uncommon thing
to see four horses stuck with an empty
wagon. That time has passed. The road
Commission has put in a road that is
akin to a boulevard, cars travel any
time of the summer.
Now at the same time the same Com
mission graded and widened and other
wise spent a nice piece ot money on a
road that does not serve more than 2$r
homesteaders, if that many or perhaps
an average or dU tons of freight per sea
son.
That road is all right but why could
not the Commission expend some of
the money spent on the roads that do
not carry much traffic on a trail into

As far as population goes Chisane
has as large a population as the farm
ing district already mentioned, and we’d
like to bet thstiis undeveloped resources
are as great.
We do not want to see the Alaska
farmer cheated out of his due, but we
would like to see every part of the Ter
ritory treated alike.
The government says that all roads
built by them are for military purposes
so next week we will take up the Chis
ane trail from a military standpoint.
Why Support The Home Paper?
Because it was the home paper that
introduced you to the community.
When sickness or misfortune visited
your home it was the home paper
that carried the sad news to your friends
and neighbors. When you were succes
sful or had been promoted it was the
hometown paper that heralded your
ability. I3ecause the live merchants
advertise their wares and bargains and
protect you from catch penny mail
order houses. And at last when you
are laid away it is the home town pa
per that extols your virtues and so the
relatives and friends who mourn your
demise are made to feel a pride of
having had your friendship.

With Congress passing laws, and
ma at the prohib meetings all the time
and with us trying to get enough to pay
the the income tax we are all kept
busy. Statesman
France should remember the differ
ence between reparations and debt
repayment.
