BETTER TRAILS
Mining operators and prospectors
of the Yentna district are getting out
a petition to the Alaska Road Com
mission for a wagon road from Me
Dougal to Cache creek, a distance of
45 miles. It Is estimated that it will
cost at least |5,000 to put this
road In shape for traffic as it will be
necessary to thoroughly grub the
road, corduroy certain sections and
put In the ordinary culverts. The
property owners operating on Cache
creek and tributaries have already
spent in tthe neighborhood of $15,
000 on this road and It is certainly
up to the road commission to act
favorably on this petition as the
Cache creek district Is rapidly grow
ing In importance as one of the best
producers in Alaska and good roads
and the maintenance of them is es
sential to the hauling of the largo
amount of freight that will be nec
essary to supply this section.
