We have heard a lot about the per
ils of the Chisane trail and we wish to
ask a few questions and make a few
suggestions.
First: Why not get the Road Com mis
sion to built more relief cabins?
We realize that a relief cabin can
not be built on a mass of moving ice,
and be expected to stay. However,
there are places both on this side of
the glacier and on the other side that
need shelters of some description.
Second: Why not have the same Com
mission to stake a trail every fall?
This would give a man a fair chance
to come thru alive in case he Was caugh
by a storm while on the glacier.
Third: Why not build a decent pack
trail?
A good pack trail could be built, that
would give Chisane a chance to get in
more supplies during the summer,
and that would mean a better chance
for development.
In a short time the country Would
show need of a wagon road. There is
feasible route from McCarthy that is
s horter than any other way. There is
quite a lot of road already built, so
this would be merely a continuation of
the work already completed.
There is a bridge going in over the
Nizina and more road is to be built

to the different creeks that are
the miin producers; so why caniiot
the Commission put thru some manner
of trail to Chisane.
That district has potentialities that
are equal to any in this part of the cou
ntry and thus far it has been about as
badly treated as any part of Alaska.
