ROAD
FOR THIS DIVISION
Edward Wood, the Valdez freighter,
has been selected by the members of
the legislature to be the road com
missioner for the Third judicial divis
ion, and he will have charge of the
expenditure of the moneys from the
Forestry Bureau In Alaska for the
construction of roads and trails. About
$11,600 is allotted to each of the divi
sions and the road supervisor will be
paid two per cent, of tho amount spent
for his work, or $230.
With the job will come the cussing
of the residents of every section of
the division, who will insist that the
money be spent by Mr. Wood in their
vicinity and, failing which, he will be
forever damned.
The money was placed in the treas
ury by the Forestry Department from
moneys made through the sale of
timber. Most of the amount came
from the Tongass forestry reserve. In
Southeastern Alaska, and the repre
— ' mf
sentatlves from the First division
wanted it spent In their section, but
were disappointed, as it was divided
equally in all four divisions.

SHORT ROUTE TO
ANCHORAGE CITY ^
The shortest route to Anchorage, the
new town on Cook Inlet, is via Port
age bay, across the eight-mile portage
from Prince William Sound to Cook
Inlet waters, three miles to the Kern
Creek roadhouse, where boats are In
operation from that point to the new
town of Anchmorage.
Roadhouses have been built at both
sides of the portage, which is an easy
grade over the government road built
last summer. The trip can be made
in less time than via Seward and into
the inlet on the large steamers, be
sides saving the cost of the journey.

\\ ASHINGTON, May 11—President Wilson is of the opin
ion that the agreement entered into between China and Japan,
as a result of the demands made upon China b ylier neighbor,
contravenes no treaty right of the United States. The state
ment of the president is taken to mean that the government
will not interfere in the Chinese trouble, and that the modifi
cations made by Japan in her original demands has reduced
the difficulty so that all danger of international complications
has passed.
USUAL FROM NEW YORK
NEW YORK, May 11—So far the British steamers plying

he no doubt, however, that the popularity of the British lines
has not increased since the Lusitania was torpedoed by a Ger

10 IMPROVE Ml
AND FAIRBANKS TRAILS
Col. W. P. Richardson, chairman of
the Alaska Road Commission, was in
Cordova today on his way to Valdes,
and found time to call at the Times
office. Col. Richardson spent the
past three or four months at Wash
ington, and will at once enter upon
his duties In the territory, expecting
to shortly leave on a tour of Inspec
tion, going as far as Nome. He
stated that his road building program
I would be continued without any spec
ial modification because of the con
struction of the government railroad,
as the latter would need roads and
trails to produce tonnage.
Col. Richardson states that consid
erable repair work would be done
this summer on the Chltina-Fairbanks
trail, and his only regret Is that he
hasn’t sufficient funds to put this road
bed in condition for automobiles the
year round.

TRAIL DEFICIT
TO BE PAID OFF
In the matter of the deficit of $2,
166.60 in the construction of a trail
from McCarthy to Chlsana, which
was undertaken by the Cordova Cham
ber of Commerce two years ago, a
movement wai inaugurated by that
body last night to wipe out this in
debtedness. The Alaska Steamship
Company offered to donate $1,000 pro
viding the residents of Cordova took
care of the balance of the shortage.
Eight members of the Chamber sub
scribed $50 each, and as this reduces
the total amount still due to about
$700, a committee consisting of Mes
srs. Slater, Adams and Chase was ap
ppolnted to solicit subscriptions, in
the hope that this balance can be
raised and the account closed.
