ROAD BUILDERS
OF TERRITORY
i
Lieutenant Colonel John C. Gotwals
of the engineer corps of the regular
army has been appointed president of
the Alaska board of road commission
ers, with headquarters at Juneau.
Major W. H. Waugh, the present
president, will remain as a member
of the board, report to Colonel Got
wals. Captain John Zug, member of
the board of Alaska road commission
ers, has been directed to report at
Fort Liscum for discharge.
This is the first change in the
Alaska board of road commissioners
due to the work of demobilization of
the national army. The reserve of
ficers of the national army are being
discharged as fast as regular army of
ficers can be secured to take their
places. All of them will be discharged
before July 1 next. Major Waugh and
Lieutenant Sidney Carter, members
of the war department board of Alaska
road builders, are officers in the na
tional army, and will probably give
way to regular army officers before
that time.
These changes do not mean that
Alaska will lose these road builders.
Major Waugh is also a highway engi
neer in the office of public roads, a
branch of the department of agricul
ture, which has charge of the expen
diture of road moneys coming from
the national forests and the co-oper
ative road-building enterprises of the
national government. This branch of
the road-building work in Alaska has
a considerable fund at its disposal,
and plans are already under way for
the expenditure of some $220,000 on
roads in the First and Third divisions
of Alaska during the coming year.
Captain John Zug and Lieutenant
Carter were connected with the
Alaska board of road commissioners
before their appointment as reserve
officers in the national army, in order
to qualify them for membership on
the board. Captain Zug was a civilian
civil engineer in the employ of the
board, and Lieutenant Carter was
chief clerk of the board. They will
probably retain their old positions.
Major Waugh is now in Washing
ton on business in connection w'ith
Alaska road-building, and doubtless in
consultation with Colonel Gotwals.
Colonel Gotwals comes to Alaska
directly from the office of General
Black, chief engineer officer of the
United States army, with offices in
the war department at Washington.

WRITE-UP IN PORTLAND
Back in the States for the first time
in ten years, W. J. McDonald, forest
ranger from Alaska, likes the looks
of the country. Four years in railway
survey and six years in forest service
have elapsed since McDonald left for
the North country.
The Chugach forest, 6,000,000 acres
in extent, keeps Forest Ranger Mc
Donald busy. His headquarters are
at Cordova, Alaska, the great copper
gateway to the mining region. For
the whole reserve a permanent force
of a superintendent, a clerk and three
rangers are assigned.
“Our chief concern is timber sales,”
said Mr. McDonald, “and our, timber
sales have mounted steadily in the
last three years, since it is hard for
the mills to get lumber from Seattle.
Cannery operators, railroads and
mines all use lumber which the saw
mills convert from our timber.”
Mr. McDonald is a native of Se
attle ,and a former University of
Washington student. He is detailed
to the Portland office for three weeks
and will spend three months in Cali
fornia after completing his duties
here. He will return to Alaska about
February 1.—Portland Oregonian.
