KNIK HOMESTEADERS
WANT TRAILS BUILT
KNIK. April 10—As Indicating
the enthusiasm with which hte
homesteaders are entering Into
the matter, fifty-three settlers
attended the second meeting of the
Matanuska Fanners' Association. The
meeting proved n fine success, as. It
brought the homestenders together for
a discussion of thing of mutual aid and
benefit.
Possibly the most important matter
that came up for discussion and def
inite action was that of roads, so
necessary to facilitate the opening of
the various parts of the Matanuska
valley. The discussion lead to the
unanimous adoption of resolutions
telling the urgent need of means of
transportation, to be sent to the Alas
ka ltond Commission.
With reference to the government
agricultural experiment station to he
established In these parts, a motmn
prevailed respectfully requesting Prof.
Cleorgeson or his accredited represen
tative to investigate the Matanuska
valley before deciding definitely on
a site for the proposed work.
Due to the large attendance at the
meetings, the growing interest in the
association, and the Indications that
point to a permanent and influential
organization, the need of a commo
dious hall for business and social pur
poses was discussed, culminating In
a motion, which carried, directing the
chair to appoint a committee of three
to take charge of the matter. Mes
srs. Leekvold, Blake nnd Sloan were
named.
Many of the farmers are now en
gaged in planting or preparing to
plant, the various root crops. More
recent settlers are building homes or
[ clearing land. The big valley, as far
as settlement extends, is a veritable
hive of industry, and it augurs well
for the future prosperity of this re
gion that the settlers have unbounded
faith, and are applying zeal and en
terprise, in their work of home build
ing.
Almost dally Intending or prospec
tive settlers are arriving to take a
look over the situation. letters uy
the score are being received asking
for Information. One day this week
eight prospective homesteaders ar
rived here, and they were piloted up
the Matanuska by President Kreuger'
of the Farmers’ Association.

TERRITORIAL TREASURER
SMITH IS REAPPOINTED
Walstein O. Smith, Territorial
Treasurer, has been reappointed to
office by Gov. J. F. A. Strong, who
named him two years ago under au
thorization of an act passed by the
First legislature, creating the office.
The territorial senate confirmed the
appointment. Mr. Smith's new term
will expire January 1, 1919. The
Governor also renamed as member of
the board of commissioners for the
promotion of uniform laws, Judge K. '
I = "-=a.
Gunnison of Juneau (4 years),
George B. Grigsby of Nome (2 years ,
mid Judge Fred M. Brown of Valdez
(6 years). The senate ratified the ap
pointments.
There is considerable speculation in
the legislature as to the outcome of
the McGann hill providing for the elec
tion by the people of the Territorial
Treasurer, and the Aldrich fight to
repeal the act under which uniform
law commissioners are appointed. The
McGann bill provides that the Treas
urer shall be elected for a two
year term, while the governor’s ap
polntment is for four years from Jan
uady 1, 1915 to January 1, 1919.
The Aldrich campaign to do away
.
with the uniform law commission Is
for the purpose of retrenchment, the
Nome solon has stated. Although
no salary Is paid the commissioners,
traveling expenses are paid by the
territory.
