Protect Your Feet!!!
This cold, damp weather and the wet ground call
for good, substantial foot wear to protect your feet and
keep them dry and warm. Do you realize that your feet
must stand more of serious winter weather than any oth
er part of your body ? With warm feet, it is prover
bial, your whole body is warm.
We call special attention to the Dr. McCullough
shoe—with cushion sole, leather lined, flexible outside
sole, rubber heels, which embodies the last word in shoe
construction, made on scientific principles.
Carrol & Co. have now completed their supply of
foot wear.

MISSION'S
REPORT FOR
YEAR II1S
(Cordova Times)
The Daily Times was today in re
ceipt of the annual report of the Alas
ka Road commission for 1915, which
is just off the press, and contains
much interesting matter. The work
of the commission was widely distrib
uted, covering all parts of the terri
tory.
On June 30, 1916, there were over
900 miles of road which cost on an
average of $3,000 per mile. This in
cludes the cost of all surveys and con
struction; cost of maintenance for the
ten years of the existence of the roads
and also all overhead charges of every
nature for the same period. In other
words, the entire cost of construction
and maintenance has averaged $300
per mile per year for ten years.
Compare this with the money ap
propriated for the construction of the
Bagnio-Benguet road in the Philip
pine islands, where, when 28.7 miles of
road was “ finally ready for traffic ”
the cost aggregated $1,961,847.05 (see
“ the Philippines, past and present,"
page 456, by Commissioner Worcester,
secretary of the interior of the Philip
pine islands.
The above comparison is made only
to show the liberal policy toward the
roads in the Philippine islands com
pared with that toward Alaska.
On a recent issue of the road map
of California, by the California high
way commission, there is a statement
to the effect that out of every dollar
expended, 87% cents went directly in
to the roads," and that “ the remain
ing 12% cents represents every other
character of expenditure."
The statement shows an expenditure
of over sixteen millions; shows excel
lent results accomplished and shows,
moreover, that in this expenditure, as
in all others, a certain percentage
(12% in this case) of an appropria
tion for roads cannot be put “ directly
into the roads," but must be used for
“ every other character of expendi
ture ” made necessary by the work at
hand.
me percentage oi an appropriation
which can be put “ directly into the
roads ” must obviously vary somewhat
with the size of the appropriation,
but notwithstanding the various and
irregular amounts the Alaska Road
commission has had at its disposal
during the past ten years, the records
show that over 90 per cent of all mon
ey appropriated for roads has been
put “ directly into the roads.”
The above comparison is made only
to show that money appropriated for
roads is as economically expended in
Alaska as elsewhere.
The salaries of the members of the
Alaska road commission are not paid
from the appropiiations for roads, but
directly fiorr, the war department and
this in some measure may account
for the increased per cent of the vp- I
propriation the commission has been
able to put “ directly into thn roads.’
Much speculation is often indulged
in as to cost of roads. Many peopie
are often heard to splurge forth on
such subjects as “ upkeep,” “ over
head charges,” “ maintenance " and
“ construction ” of roads without hav
ing very definite ideas as to just what
these terms mean or realizing what
the cost of their theories would be if
put into practice.
For instance, not long ago a gentle
man seriously advocated a three-mile
plank walk on trestles to cross a gla
cier delta instead of an earth road
connected by bridges at intervals as at
present.
Another advocated the digging of a
river channel from Valdez bay to the
glacier (about four miles) and forc
ing the glacier stream to follow it.
Many similar impracticable theories
and suggestions might be quoted. The
road work in Alaska differs somewhat
from that in the United States, but it
is safe to say that the best results are
obtained by following general princi
ples laid down by eminent engineers
long familiar with such work.
LEEHEY AND RAY
FORM PARTNERSHIP
Maurice D. Leehey, the well known
attorney of Seattle, who is perhaps
the foremost mining lawyer on the
Pacific coast, and L. V. Ray, one of
the most efficient trial lawyers in
Alaska, have formed a partnership.
Mr. Leehey will continue to reside in
Seattle and Mr. Ray will continue to
live in Seward. The firm is a strong
one.
