ROAD CHAIRMAN SAYS WORK
TO START SOON ON SHORTCUT
I
COL. Jas. G. Steese, chairman of
; the Alaska Road Commission, who
| was in Nenana for a short time
yesterday on his way to the lower j
i river country aboard the Govern- j
i ment transport Jacobs, accompanied !
! by Tterritorial Surveyor H. K.!
j Thiele, informed The News that
| notwithstanding- the fact that much
j of the work of the organization
■ has been curtailed or eliminated
j altogether for the present season,
the plan for the improvement of the
\ N'enana-Kantishna shortcut trail has
j not been altered. The work of put
! ting this trail in shape for winter
; travel will be taken in hand very j
' shortly and. while the expenditure
I involved will not be large, it will j
1 be sufficient to put the trail in first
i class condition for winter travel,
j The shortcut trail, which connects
, Nenana with the Toklat, making
possible the elimination of ths
i round-about Kobi route, was built
last winter by public subscription,
j but too late in the season to be of i
j much benefit to the traveling public,
j It was also impossible to do the
‘ work as thoroughly with snow on the
I ground, as it will be for the road
j commission to do it at this season
of the year, with’ ample funds and
no snow to contend with,
i Col. Steese also informed The
News that some money would be ex
pended this fall in giving road re
lief to the miners of Moose creek,
to the south of Nenana. The road
building will be a joint proposition,
the miners putting up a portion of
the funds needed and the commis
sion financing the balance.
Because of the necessity for the
; immediate curtailment of expendi
j rures, all work on the Fairbanks
Valdez road has been suspended, ac
cording to Colonel Steese, and no
| more work will be done on that pro
ject this season, unless an eraer
! gency should arise. Practically all
j of the other large projects have suf
fered a similar fate, the suspension
of activities being the result of a
new system of doling out the road
funds to cover certain periods. The
allowance for the first period has
already been overdrawn, and by the
time the commission can catch up
with itself, it will be too late to
i do any good this season. This does
not necessarily mean a loss of funds
to the territory, for the money that
; jg javed now, through suspension
I of activities, will be available for
use next spring.
j Colonel Steese and Surveyor Gen-j
era] Thiele will visit several sec
tions on the lower Yukon, including
Xome. and they will go out by way
| of Xome. As surveyof general of the
territory. Mr. Thiele is a member
i of the territorial road building or
j ganization. which has a working
agreement with the Alaska Road
Commission, and the trip he is now
making will acquaint htm with the ;
various road building projects under i
way in Interior Alaska and on Sew
' ard peninsula.

COURT SAVES OIL LANDS
MEXICO CITY. Sept. 1—Officials j

i will be interpreted as the court’s
