SHELTER CABINS WHICH
HAVE BEEN CONSTRUCTED
IN THE SECOND DIVISION
Last Saturday, a Representative of
this paper interviewed Mr. John A.
Wilson, Chairman, Divisional Road
.Commission, Second Division, Alaska,
and gleaned the following interesting
news items from him, pertaining to
Shelter Cabins, etc.
To-wit:—That the last Territorial
Legislature, besides passing a heavy
road appropriation, passed a bill set
ting aside $20,000 as a Shelter Cabin
Fund, to be apportioned among the
various divisions according to their
needs. Both the road bill and .the
shelter cabin bill were introduced by
Representatives from the Second Di
vision. Cabins are to be constructed
along traveled roads and trails in such
places as, in the opinion of the Road
Commission .they are necessary to in
sure the safety of the traveling public.
The need of shelters for Tnushers, es
pecially when caught in a storm, has
always been apparent, and the Legis
lature is to be commended for passing
the Shelter Cabin bill. In the early
days roadhouses were put up and main
tained by private parties wherever any
travel justified it, but with the less
ening amount of travel many of these
roadhouses have been abandoned and
allowed to go to ruin. In some re
mote sections where travel is inter
mittent, as for example men going to
work in the spring and returning in
the fall, long stretches of trail have
been with out shelter of any kind.
Four cabins have been built upfco
date in the Second Division. A 14 x
It frame cabin and a 14 x 20 ‘bam
were built near Ford’s old roadhouse
am Fox river, half way between Bast
Fork and Council, where it is much
used during the open season by trav
elers from Solomon to Council. The
work was done by day's to-bor at a
cost of *1060,94.
A 14 x 1$ frame cabin was con
structed by Charles Good on contract

for $450.00 at the Springs on Hunter
creek on the Candle-Bear creek trail,
about 22 miles from. Candle.
Near the old Timber Roadhouse, on
the mall trail from. Topkok to Council,
a 13 x 15 log cabin was erected' by
Duffy O’Connor on contract for $240.00.
Timber Roadhouse is abandoned and
in ruins, and a cabin here was ur
gently needed.
A 14 xl6 log cabin has been con
structed on Quartz creek, near Fine
gan’s cabin, on the winter trail be
: tween Dime ami Candle. The work
was done on contract by Chas. Lay
and Ed. Kellner for $350.00. The cab
ins at Boston and Telephone, on the
| Councili-Candle trail, have been fixed
up. Two cabins have been secured
and fixed up on the mail trail from
Golovin eastward—one at Walla Walla,
and one at Moses. A contract has beeh
let for the building of a 12 x 14 frame
cabin on the Riley Channel of the Ko
buk river, which, however, wi'l not be
complete before next August.
Three other shelter cabins owned
by the Territory were constructed un
der the supervision of Dan’l A. Jones
from money out of the Shelter Cabin
fund. Two of these are on Dahl-Im
machuk trail and the other is located
at Callahan’s old roadhouse, between
Candle and the mouth of the Kobuk.
All these cabins are the property of
the Territory of Alaska and are put up
for the use of travelers, all of whom are
equally entitled to use them, the only
conditions being that they are not de
faced or destroyed. Travelers are re
quested to keep the cabins neat and
clean, to put out all! fire when leaving,
and to leave kindling and firewood
far the next traveler to start a 15 re
with. Anyone who wilfully removes or
destroyes any cabin or part thereof
lays himself liable to a heavy penalty,
but it Is believed that no one would
maliciously destroy a cabin upon
which some traveler’s lylfe may de
pend. However, any Infraction of the
law should be promptly reported to
the Road Commissioner. More cabins
will be put up as the need for them
appears.
It will be the aim of the cominis-'
sion to meet the needs of the travel
ing public in so far as it may be able
