CLUB WANTS MONEY
FOR ROAD PROGRAM
A movement has been launched
by the Nenana Commercial club
to provide employment to returning
soldiers in a manner that will con
tribute very materially to the de
velopment of the territory. It was
suggested at the regular meeting
of the organization last night that
the congress of the United States
be approached with a request for
an emergency appropriation of a
million dollars for the construction
of wagon roads in Alaska, to serve
as feeders to the government rail
road and to make possible the de
velopment of remote districts which
are at present without transporta
tion facilities. The plan is to give
returning soldiers the opportunity’
to help build the proposed wagon
roads, thus assisting the federal
government to solve a problem
which is taking on proportions
rapidly, and at the same time mak
ing it possible for Alaskans to
remove one of the chief obstacles
to development in the territory—
the lack of transportation facilities.
The matter was referred to the
premanent road committee, with in
structions to present a concrete
draft of the suggestion at a future
meeting. It. is proposed then to
take the question up with other
commercial organizations through
out the several districts, with a view
to presenting the proposal to the
government, backed by the support
of every section of the territory.
The club also took up the mat
ter of seeking a means of stimu
lating prospecting, at the suggestion
of I)r. R. R. Myers. This matter
has already been discussed by the
Fairbanks Chapter of the American
Mining Congress, and it is the pur
pose of the local organization to
give its endorsement to the move
ment, leaving the details to the
organization of mii.iii * men. A
committee consisting '>f .1. A. Slip
pern. Dr. R. R. Myers and doe
Fisher was appointed to act for
the club in the matte-.
The question of seeking an in
crease in wages for the employes of
the Alaskan Engineering commis
sion in this division was again dis
cussed and a letter covering the
matter, which had been prepared
by a special committee of the club,
was read and approved, and ordered
forwarded to the proper authori
ties. The contention of the club
is that employees of the govern
ment do not receive the "going
wage" of the Interior country, and
that their savings, in consequence,
during the working season, are not
sufficient to outfit them properly
for prospecting or to tide them over
the long season of inactivity. The
payment of the “going wage” it is
argued, would have the effect of
making the railroad work more effi
cient and also make it possible
for the railroad workers, during
periods of unemployment, to go
out into the hills in search of gold
and other minerals, thus promoting
development of Interior resources
and paving the way for increased
tonnage for the government rail
road.
The payment of a decent wage,
the club believes, will be the means
of attracting a desirable class of

workers to the Interior country dur
ing the coming season, many of
whom, it may be assumed with
safety, will become permanent resi
dents.
The action of the Anchorage
Chamber of Commerce, in seeking i
the establishment of a government,
operated line of steamships be- j
tween Pacific ports and Alaska, to |
serve as a connecting line between
the government railroad and the1
Outside, was given the endorsement
of the local club, and the secre-'
tary was instructed to inform the
coast organization of the action
taken Anchorage is the originator
of the movement and has sought
the cooperation of all commercial
bodies throughout the country.
Secretary Joseph reported to the
club that he had compiled a list
if about seventy miners and pros
pectors to whom it was his inten
tion to appeal for samples of ores
for exhibit at the club quarters.
The names of J. C. Van Orsdel
mil Kd Brooker were added to the
general road committee of the club,
t hav ing been called to the atten
tion of the chairman that two of
the regular members of the com
mittee are not in town.
The names of M. A. Schaeffer,
t'arl Schmidt, A. B. Funk, A. J.
Irvine, A. (i. Johnson and W. J.
