NEW SURVEY VESSELS
FOR ALASKA WATERS
A bill authorizing the expenditure
of $525,000 for six coast geodetic sur
vey vessels has been favorably re
ported on by the interstate commerce
committee of the House.
The chairman is confident that It
will pass inside of two weeks.
Practically all of the vessels, when
built, will be stationed in the waters
of Alaska and the Pacific coast.
It is not expected that any opposi
tion will develop to the bill and the
ed of vessels for government work
along the great coast line of the west
and Alaska has been emphized in
the reports of nearly all the heads of
the various departments.
There are tvm kinds of Peteluma

Further developments of Alaska's
system of roads and trails cannot be
expected unless Congress increases
the allotment of funds, declares Col.
William P. ltlchardson, president of
the Alaska Board of Road Commis
sioners. In his annunl report presented
to the war department ’last week.
The funds alloted, he says are now
entirely consumed in repairing and
maintaining the existing roads. This
according to Colonel Richardson, will
become practicnlly a fixed condition
from year to yenr, with the amount
of mileage now required to be main
tained, and although additional new
projects, all more or less meritorious,
are being presented to the board every
year, with petitions for aid, It is im
possible for the board to respond, ex
cept to a very limited degree.
Colonel Richardson has submitted a
plan for the extension of the roads
covering a period of three years, with
and estimate of $750,000 for the first
year and it is earnestly hoped that
this plan may receive favorable action
before the opening of next season's
work.
While again disclaiming any inten
tion of antagonizing the projected rail
way construction in Alaska, Colonel
Richardson repeats the former state
ment of the board that no rapid or
general development In Alaska will
follow the construction of trunk
lines of railroads to the interior unless
preceded or accompanied by the con
struction of many wagon roads and
trails as feeders.
Regarding the bill now before Con
gress to create a general development
board for Alaska to open its resources,
Colonel Richardson declares that "It is
no egotism to say that no other agency
of the government is more competent
or better equipped for such tasks than
the army," and he points to the exten
sive public works accomplished in
Alaska in connection with the cable
and telegraph systems and the roads
and trails run through the wilderness
to support this statement.

EUROPEAN CITIES
WITH NINE LIS
When the war is over, says the Lon
don Chronicle, we may be sure that
most of the towns and cities de
stroyed by the Germans will, Phoe
nix like, rise from their ashes. The
teachings of history is that a city is
hard to kill. For Instance, London
has been decimated five times by
plagues, in addition to visitations of
typhus, cholera and other epidemics.
She has been burned more or less se
verely several times. Paris has
gone through eight sieges, ten fam
ines, two plagues and one fire which
devastated it. Rome has been swept
by pestilence no less than ten times.
She has been twice burned and six
times drived to submission by starva
tion. Constantinople has been
burned out nine times, and has suf
fered from four plagues and five
sieges.

GLACIER THREATENS
COLDSTREAM TOWN
According to information received
In Fairbanks from Fox, the Gold
stream city is In danger of being
at least partially buried by the Fox
Gulch glacier in the near future, un
less the residents take radical steps
toward digging the ice away or di
verting the water away from the gla
cier toward a new channel or unless
the weather stays cold.
At the present time the glacier has
advanced down Fox Gulch until it is
now in the back yards of some of the
residences and business houses, the
mild weather of the earlier months of
the winter being held accountable
therefor.
However, should the weather rt y
cold, it is believed that the glacier
will quit running. The report from
Coldstream la&t night was to the effect
that there was no immediate danger
to property, as goods can be moved
faster than the water can advance,
and certainly no danger to life.
The glacier is formed each winter
from springs which break out of the
Hills on the right limit of Fox Gulch,
about half a mile above the town of
Fox. The weather is usually cold
enough to freeze the water as fast as
it comes to the surface. The only
like occurrence at Fox was that of
eight years ago. when the Tanana vaF
ley experienced much the same kind
of winter ns that which now prevails.
