Accounts of Col Steese’s report on
road work for the past year which ap
peared in a recent issue of the Cordova
Times, would lead one to believe that
more work has been done in this sect
ion than we are aware of.
YVe are informed that the new bridge
has a piling approach, yet recently ar
rived mushers state that even what
false work is left stands on an island.
YV e are also given to understand,
that the road is practically completed
regardless of the fact practically no la
bor has been expended since 1920.
Last summer the grader went over
the road a couple of times and freight
ers declare it worse than ever. The
mile ol new road constructed last sum
mer will be a quagmire in the spring
Col. Stce.e has not been rightly in
formed about the construction, or rath
er deterioration of the Nizina project
iast summer. \Y hat road was construct
wiil be fine —if properly finished. The
same thing applies to the bridge -con
crete had better be poured and the sir
ucture built before the river shirts and
washes away what is left of the false
work.
fhe practice of certain parties tak j
ing dogs and after working and star ;
them nearly to death, turning them
loose to forage, should be punishable
by law. in the states there is no cruel
tyto animals ana t ie. e shouldn’t be any
here. Why not have adequate laws.
' Along the Trail
A Road Commission truck haul
ing bridge iron to the Gokona
bridge skidded and backed off
the road down a 150 foot embank
ment on a slippery curve on the
trail, fifteen miles from Chitina.
The accident was due to a faulty
brake. The d river C. H. Gillan
jumped: the car turned three som
ersaults, scattering bridge irons
right and left. But little damage
was done, and a new start will
be made in a few days.
