ftoads in Alaska must have a mili
tary reason to exist, so we are informed
by Washington.
A military road should embody two
features, direct routes and passibility.
It should be located in such a way as
to be easily defended and at the same
time should give acess to open coutry.
What is the reason that our govern
ment has neglected to put in spme,$UUD<i
of a road from this place tpwcn|l Chat
ane. A road in that direction «rooM
give troops an easy passage to the bor
der. It would be ideally located for
defence. It would embody all the fea
tures that go to make up a correct
military route. It would have a ter mi
ncl in a place that would offer the fa
cilities for the establishment of hosps
tals, ration dumps and other necessary
items that go to make up a base camp
Then the decided advantage of the
most direct route is of a decided mil
itary value.
On top of these nUfnerous advantage5
a road to the boundiy or Uhisane would
open up a district that would put a
large sum of money into Uncle Sam’s
pocket in the form of income tax. So
even as a business proposition the
trail v, ould be a great advantage.
