AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
Col. Jas. G. Steese, head of
the Alaska Road Commission,
is now in Washington on his
annual mission of persuading
a reluctant Congress to grant
much needed funds for Alaska
road work. Inasmuch as Col.
Sloe e is our best hope in the i
mallei of securing that great
er,'t o all local development
aids, a road up Texas Creek, j
and will in all probability In
clude that project in the roaa j
matters he will present to Con
gress. a little local support ax
4lv might possibly be of
distance to him in se
c ; the necssary funds.
Th. passage of a resolution
by flic Chamber of Commerce
showing that the proposed
con ruction is not only jusi
ir’ia but also absolutely es
sential to the development o;
on that will produce ore
a.::lost simultaneously with the
o: \t of wagon traffic, and
citing he ore shipments made
r.\ frnat effort and expense
thi^ ^.ea on as concrete evi
dence that the comparativelj
small expense involved wili |
yield immediate returns In >
weal h nroduction, would un-1
donbtedly be of material as j
sistance 4o Colonel Steese ir. j
his efforts.
Local business houses and
citizens could lend valuable j
aid to the movement by ad- \
dressing private communicat-I
ions of the same tenor to mem- j
bers of the Washington dele-'
gation in Congress, members;
of the various Congressional j
comm:ttees and bureau offic
ials engaged in the handling
* of nubl'c works in Alaska.
There i3 not a doubt that a
little effort in this direction
now that consideration of
/ lacka road development mat
ters is impending, will help a
great deal toward securing
the much needed road.
The past season has disclosed
beyond all doubt that the Tex
as Creek region will become
productive the moment that
wagon traffic is provided. De
spite almost prohibitory trans
portation conditions small
shipments of ore have already
come out of the district by
pack train. Many hundred
ton" which need but to be
broken out from the exposed
j ledges, remain unprofitable
! only because of the high cost
| of transporting the ore by raw
j hiding. Congress can make no
mistake in authorizing con
struction of the seven or eight
miles of wagon road necessary
! to link this undoubtedly rich
; district with the existing trans
; portation routes and will most
| likely do so if the true facts
are presented for its consider
I ation. It is up to us to see that
. they are so presented and ev
i ery one can help in some de
gree if they will. Especially If
this true of those elements of
the community who devote so
much of their energy to fo
menting discords and petty
sqabbles instead of working
for the advancement of the
district. The question of who
s going to run things here
abouts is in no degree as im
portant as getting that road up
| Texas Creek. The latter means
dded prosperity and benefits
i 'or the community, the former
| nly the satisfaction of person
; 1 egotism and distinct injury
o the community at home and
[ abroad.

If the people of the good, old

Mable has on.
Humph! That’s a small mat

There’s small choice. If your’e
