FORESTRY FIIIF
FOR TRAIL
2.
Secretary of Agriculture I>. F. Hour
ton has placed Alaska's allotmen
from forests within her boundariei
for the maintenance of roads and trail:
in the national forests of Alaska a
|4G,200.
The foregoing amount is the allot
nient to Alaska of her 25 per cent o
Hie forest receipts, which is distri
lmted in accordance with the appro
priations of the legislature. However
the amount is much larger than for
mer allotments, and would indicate
fcrnss receipts from the* forest reserve;
this year of $1KU,400, a surprisingly
large amount.
The government expends each vea
a certain sum for the construction am
maintenance of roads and trails with
in the forest reserves.
If this is Alaska's share of tin
lore a funds it will be divided equally
among the four judicial divisions o
Alaska, though the receipts are most
ly from the First division and wholly
from the First and Third.

FREIGHT
PROPOSE PUN
OF FINANCING
Advocacy of a plan for placing a gov
ernment bond issue at the disposal of
the president for the completion and
extension of the government owned
Alaskan railroad, was the feature of
an address by W. M. Whitney, candi
date for representative in congress
from the First Washington district.
The meeting was under the auspices
of the West Side Republican Club of
Seattle
The plan, Mr. Whitney, said, would
take Hie matter of the railroad out
of politics. As a precedent for the
proposal, he cited the instance of the
1'anama canal bonds. The hazards of
requiring an appropriation at each
session of congress would thus he eli
initiated.
"This will not only adequately pro
vide for tin railroad," he said, "hut
will minimize the opportunity of per
sons to pose as benefactors when in
reality they are hut professional lob
byists. If we have lawN retarding
the development of Alaska, let us re
peal them and enact laws that will
not only encourage and stimulate the
Alaskan, hut which will attract legitl
mate capital and encourage legilimate
enterprlso.”

An aerial freight service to the tlis
tan! and isolated mining camps of i
Alaska will he a rapid development
from the proposed aerial mail route. :
in the opinion of 10. Wann of t'hisami '
Wann Is a mining operator of the I
north who is in Seatle on his first j
trip out ill three years, says the Sc
attle Times.
“The chief trouble with many of the !
excellent mining camps of northern j
Alaska," said Wann today, “is that
supplies are too high to justify work- j
ing for normal returns. Mining men
of Chlaana calculate that their raw
food, w hich they prepare themselves j
costs in excess of $2 per person each
day. An ordinary meal at a road
house costs nearly as much. Trans- j
portation Is the big problem.
“An aeroplane carrying l.uOO or so
pounds of freight would he a practi
cal means of getting supplies to the
distant camps. Where now it takes
six days to get supplies from the
nearest distributing point to Chisana
such an aerial route would make the
trip possible in a few hours. I be
lieve that if the aerial mail route is j
successful, the next step will he an
aerial freight service."
