The Cordova Chamber of Commerce
has endorsed Secretary Lane’s plan ol
an Alaska Development Board, which
measure Delegate Wickersahm is sup
porting, and the following resolution
will be forwarded to Washington on
the next mail.
Wlhereas, Alaska is on the eve of a
wonderful development due to the
coming construction of increased
transportation facilities and the open
ing of the coal fields within the Terri
tory.
And whereas, this development
should be fostered in every possible
way by the national government in
order that the American citizens and
people of Alaska may work out their
destiny here without undue and un
necessary hindrance.
And whereas, the future State of
Alaska will be one of the brighest
stars in-the American firament if the
country itself is given a chance to
develop and the people here are en
couraged to labor to the end that the
latent resources of the Territory be
made avaiable for use.
And whereas, the lack of co-ordina
tion between the various government
departments, and the distance of the
Territory from the seat of the nation
al government, have resulted in vexn
tious delays, often of years, duration,
which are and have been choking the
industrial and economis prosperity of
\lnska to death.
Therefore, BE IT RESOLVED, that
the Chamber of Commerce of Cordo
va, Alaska, heartily endorses the prin
ciple of the Alaska Development
Board measure, now pending in Con
gress, and believes that Hie passage
of said measure will do much to re
lieve the insufferable conditions that
have prevailed here and requests
our Delegate to Congress to use his
best efforts to secure the passage of
the said bill.
And BE IT RESOLVED, lhat copies
of these resolutions be sent to Secre
tary of the Interior Franklin K. Lane
and to Delegate James Wickersham.

TRAIL
SUSHANNA, Dec. 26—Now that you
have probably heard sufficient to
know (hnt Rohn glacier Is n man trap,
I will relate some of my experiences,
and I wlBh you would publish a warn
ing to people to keep off Rohn glacier
under present codltlons.
We met the road gang when we
were going in, and they told us that
ihe trail was completed, all the cre
vasses filled and tamped, and marked
by a stake on each side, and that the
snow was deep In places, but we could
relay, as of course we expected to do.
They also said that where the trail
came off Rohn onto Chlsana it was
steep, but that we could make It, and
that they had put In a switch-back,
etc. The principle spokesman was
W. G. Spencer, (Bronco Bill).
Now the truth is that about twelve
mile® from McLeod's we found where
Lubhe had his horse In a crevasse.
We went on a little further and one of
our horses went through the filling
between stakes, but as he had a good
footing forward, pulled himself out.
We had to cut blocks of snow and fill
the crevasse before the other horses
could go across. Then we came Into
snow, belly deep, and had to unhar
ness horses and lead or drive them to
break trail. In doing so the same
horse broke through the filling about
two miles from where he first went jn.
This time he went to liis death. We
then abandoned the proposition with
horses and went In with dogs.
It is not a hoi.=c. trail, but ioT. gcod
dog trail provided you travel in good
weather. There is no wood or water
for a distance of 45 miles, and no road
houses for a distance of 60 miles, but
there is one relief tent about 18 miles
from Sushanna. Consequently warn
ing should be pulished to all travelers
to let them know the exact conditions
as they are. Unscrupulous savages,
are boosting this trail for their own
personal greed, not caring for the lives
of others, and such persons should be
prosecuted, and one individual, whose
name I will not mention here, had the
audacity to pay for firwood which we
picked up on the trail after our supply
had been exhausted, saying he bought
it from the Alaska Road Commission.
There was no mark on the wood to
show who it belonged to, and we were
Informed by the foreman of the Al
aska Road Commission that there was
wood on the trail, but more especially
at the relief tent. It has been report
ed by these same trail boosters that
we were chechacoes, and were off the
trail, and I wish you to state very
clearly that whosoever makes such a
statement is Mar, and wish you to
underline it.
The Scolai trail I* now broken. L.
I). Brown arrived todny breaking trail
through. This means that the horses
belonging to L. D. Brown and myself
have been the first in breaking trails,
and we were successful over 8coIai,
which is the only horse trail, and will
be good from now on.
