We are Informed that there has
been appropriated for the benefit of
Alaska roads and trails, something like
$500,000 for use during the ensuing
year. The attention of .Colonel Rich
ardson is respectfully directed to the
niudhole between McCarthy and the
Nizina river, sometimes called the Ni
zina trail. Also to the lack of a bridge
across the Nizina river. Twenty men
have lost their lives in the Nizina dur
ing the last five years and more will
perish unless something is done. With
in the past week another victim of
the river has been found.
Without in any manner reflecting
on the good work that the road com
mission has done on the Valdez and
other trails, we respectfully submit
that a camp which is producing some
thing over a quarter of a million dol
lars a year is worthy of the expendi
ture of some of the appropriation.
The rate of packing freight to the
Nizina from McCarthy is eight cents
per pound, a distance of less than 25
miles. It is no wonder that the old
timer from Dawson talks with enthu
siasm about the Canadian govern
ment's policy in road building. — Mc

homesteads, trading posts and other
