GOTWALS AND ROADS.
“As far as highway transportation
in Alaska is concerned, the automo
bile is the means, not the old way of
packhorses, as this latter now costs
too much for upkeep. With this in
view, 1 am advocating and will pre
pare plans and estimates for a na
tional highway system of roads in
Alaska. These roads, especially in
the region traversed by the Govern
ment railroad, will be feeders for
the Government railroad and fui‘
nish tonnage. In other sections this
system of highways will open new,
districts and also connect with roads
already constructed.”
This statement was made recentlv ;
by Colonel John C. Gotwals, headi
of the Alaska Road commission, who
:
is enthusiastic in discussing high-j
ways for the Territory. Colonel
Gotwals said that he learned, while
in France, that for small tonnage!
the auto truck was the thing. ,
“One hundred miles can be made (
by a truck train in a day,” Colonel,
Gotwals said. “The trucks can han-'
die the small tonnage where railroad
transportation would be at a loss. ’
Take, for instance, the proposed
system of roads that will be feeders
for the Government railroad. Trucks
can haul the ore and produce to the
railroad in quick time and cheaper
than bv the other day. The upkeep
of horses is now too much, as they j
are idle in the winter months and
they eat their heads off. The small
mining operator, with a truck, can
get his ore to the railroad and thus ;
furnish tonnage. It would be im
practicable for railroads to be built
to all sections, but the auto truck,
over a system of highways, will be
the thing.
“I want to propose a system of
highways in Alaska on a program
for twenty years to come. In this
matter I want the assistance of the
Alaskans. The highway is what has
built up all countries in their pio-:
neer stage. Backed by Alaskans,1
the road commission officials can go;
before the appropriations committee'
and show them what amount is need
ed and be very likely to secure the
.'■amounts needed yearly. The eco- ■
nomie life of a new country lies in
its transportation facilities and a
highway system will solve the trans
portation issues in Alaska.”
SCHOOL COMMISSIONER
ENROUTE TO INTERIOR J
Lester D. Henderson, territorial
commissioner of Education, will;
leave Juneau shortly after June 1,
on an • extended trip through In
terior and Northern Alaska, accord
ing to the Juneau papers received J
on the last mail. Mr. Henderson;
■expected to make WMte' orse in j
time to sail on one of the first.
' _ l
through steamers from that port
going direct to Fairbanks.
He will spend a few days in that
town looking into school affairs, and
from there proceed down the Tan
ana river to Nenana. Stops will
also be made at Hot Springs and
Tanana. From Tanana he will take
a boat for the lower Yukon river,
making stops at Ruby and St. Mich
ael, and going to Nome. From
I Nome he will go to the northward,
i visiting Candle, Kotzebue, and prob
ably Kiana. He expects to be ab
sent from his office about three
months in making the trip.
FOREST CHIEF COMING
TO ALASKA THIS YEAR
That Colonel W. B. Greeley, chief ■
of the bureau of forestry of the j
L'nited States, will make a trip to |
Alaska in July, to remain in the i
North for a month, is the message
brought to Ketchikan by C. H. Flory,
Alaska superintendent of forests,
who returned from the East recent
ly
‘‘Colonel Greeley is much inter
ested in Alaska; is much interested !
in its development and wants to do ;
everything he can to make it worth
more to the people in it and to the
nation,” said Mr. Flory. ”He spent
a great deal of time with me, going
over the possibilities for paper and
pulp plants in the Territory, and
went with me to confer with the
secretary of agriculture, Mr. Mere
dith.”
Mr. Flory also reports that the
secretary of agriculture is taking a
broad view of the situation in the
Xorth and is anxious to interest cap
ital in the development of the re
sources. He is to attend the Shrine
convention in Portland, and if pos
sible then he will make a hurried
trip to the North.
MANY INQUIRIES ARE
RECEIVED BY BUREAU
“Never before has there been so ]
much interest taken in Alaska and i
Alaskan affairs," recently declared ^
E. J. White, chief of the Terri
torial Bureau of Publicity, to a rep
resentative of the Juneau Empire. |
Every mail brings letters from all
parts of the country, he said.
"Recent inquiries,” stated Mr.
White, "have contained a large per
centage of letters from librarians:
situated in both large and small
cities. All of them are after in
formation upon which reliance can
be placed. Round Table clubs are
also showing- an interest in the
country.”
As head of the publicity bureau,
Mr. White is furnishing all the data
or other information sought. No
phase of Alaskan industrial life or;
conditions is being legleeted, and
that every section of the Territory j
will undoubtedly be benefited by
the bureau's activity is confidently
expected by Mr. White.
M’PHERSON IS COMING
TO ALASKA NEXT MONTH
Secretary J. L. McPherson of the
Alaska bureau of the Seattle Cham
ber of Commerce will leave Seattle
early in July for Alaska, according
to information received at Juneau
on a recent mail. It is the inten
tion of Mr. McPherson to cover
practically every section of the Ter
ritory this summer, investigating
conditions and gathering data for
use in connecton with future cam
paigns for aiding in development
work.
It has been his practice for a
number of years to come North ev
