The Seward Chamber of Com
merce writes urging the co-op
eration of the Delegate in com
pleting the highway that wih
connect Seward and Moose Pass.
The project has been surveyed
and the field work completed
and now it is hoped soon to have
station work started, which
would tend to relieve an acute
labor situation. It is also ex
pected that the completion of
the project would materially as
sist in the development of agri
cultural and mineral resources
on Kenaii Peninsula. The road
already runs 20 miles north of
Seward but there is a gap of 13
miles south of Moose Pass and
the estimated cost of construc
tion through canyons is $700,
000. When this is built, the
Highway would extend 45 miles
northwest of Moose Pass to
Hope on Cook Inlet, and 33
miles south of Moose Pass, mak
ing a through Highway of 73
miles from Seward. There is
available forestry money to start
this work but the project must

Ernest Walker Sawyer, of the
Interior Department, brings the
pleasing information to Wash
ington that another meeting of
the Commissioners of British
Columbia-Yukcn-Alaska High-'
way will be held in Victoria!
sometime during the month of
October, to consider data of a
very interesting nature that has
been collected during the past
six months. This joint commis
sion consists of Hon. George
Black, for the Yukon; J. M.
Wardle, Federal Parks Engineer,
for the Dominion Parks branch,
and George P. Napier, for the
Province, representing Canada;
and E. W. Sawyer, Major Mal
colm Elliott, president of the
Alaska Road Commission, and
Herbert H. Rice, prominent au
tomotive executive of Detroit,
representing the United States.
Referring to the Highway an
editorial in a recent issue of the
Washington Post sets forth the
following very interesting and
i’luminating conclusion:
“It was a happy choice in
deed that Mr. George Black, the
[Speaker of the House of Com
mons, should have been chosen
as a representative on the com
mittee which is discussing the
preliminaries of a British Co
lumbia-Yukon-Alaska Highway.
It is a compliment to the Yukon,
which Mr. Black has represent
ed in the House of Commons for
so many years. It is a compli
ment, as well, that one occupy
ing the position he does in Par
liament should have been asked
to devote so much time when
not actively engaged in parlia
mentary duties, to rendering a<c!
towards what it is believed will
eventually develop into a service
of very high importance for this
part of the Dominion.
“Mr. Black’s ability to speak
on behalf of the Yukon in the
matter of the North and South
Road which Dr. Tolmie has put
in the forefront of his policies'
cannot be questioned. He' has1
the confidence of the people of
the Northland, knows its trans
portation needs, and is persuad
ed that such a highway as is.
proposed will mean increased
prosperity. The presence at
Victoria recently of Mr. Black
and the other representatives of
the Committee discussing the
British-Columba-Yukon High
way is an earnest of another
step towards the consummation
of this project.”
The Commissioner of Indian
Affairs has taken up the matter
of establishing a school for the
natives at Stephens Village with
Charles W. Hawkesworth, Act
ing Chief of the A’aska Division,
-v recent petition indicates that
there are 27 children now in
need of tuition and Mr. Hawkes
worth expresses the opinion'
that a school is needed at this,
location. It seems that for 16;
years the Episcopal church
maintained a mission and con
ducted a school at St. Stephens,
but these have not been in ef
fect for several years past.
The other day a Washington
newspaper published the “First
Lindbergh photo from the Arc

Mrs. Lindbergh on their arrival

Dr. Ales Hrdiicka, Curator of!
Anthropology at the Smithsoni-j
an Institution has returned to
Washington from his fifth sum
mer expedition to Alaska. On
his recent trip he found skele
tons of persons believed to have|
been among the first inhabit
ants of the North American con
tinent. These were found on
Kodiak Island, more than 100
miles southwest of Seward. It
has been established that an
cient man migrating to North
America from Asia took the
coast route and passed down the
west coast of Alaska, rather
than entering the interior and
passing down the rivers. The
Curator states that discoveries
on the most recent expedition
are sufficient to prove the coast!
and peninsula passage rather i
than the other suggested route
which is to the mainland of
Alaska and along the rivers.
Dr. Hrdiicka thinks that there
is no probability that the early
comers established themselves
in any of the places along the
coast for any long period of
time. They always ao-vanced to
ward the South. By not estab
lishing themselves permanently
they therefore have left scanty
relics and other accumulations
to identify them. Then again
the coast has undergone many
[changes and has been complete

ly rebuilt in places, thus wash
ing away what remains of them
which might have survived.
Science may never hope, unless
it be through some happy acci
dent, to find the actual remains
cl the early men along the route
of their travel. It shall not find
them at all until investigators
reach a point where they settled
permanently, lived on solid
grcund, and left remnants of
their sojourn. It is the aim of
(he Smithsonian now to find
such remnants on the islands of
the far north and along the riv
ers of the northwest coast. The
recent expedition brought forth
irm ortant specimens which add
another link to the increasing
testimony of science of the
march of early man through
Lhi.s region. Skeletal remains
and objects of great significance
have opened a new and more
scientific era in American ex
ploration.
Various Chambers of Com
merce in Alaska have wired the
Delegate protesting against the
emergency regulation issued by
Secretary of Agriculture Hyde
and approved in a proclamation
by President Hoover, reducing
the season throughout the Unit
ed States and Alaska to a period
of one month for the hunting of
Clicks and geese. The reason
given for this reduction from
three months to the month of
September for Alaska, is because
of severe drought of the last two
years affecting the rearing of
young birds on breeding grounds
I he Biolcgical Survey say that
protests are being wired in from
all sections of the country, but
that no change will be made in
the regulation, which Canada is
also expected to adopt. The
President is very much inter
ested in this matter and feels
that the sportsmen and people
generally should cooperate to
avoid the calamity of extermi
nation.
