STEESE IS GOING
TO KANTISHNA TO
SIZE UP ROAD
Col. James G. Steese, chairman
of the Alaska Road commission, who
arrived in Fairbanks from the coast
several days ago, plans to leave for
the Kantishna district tomorrow, ac
companied by R. J. Sommers, of
Territorial Road commission, and
Ed Bartlett, who has been engaged
to superintend the proposed repair
work on the Roosevelt-Moose road.
The party will make the trip to
Roosevelt on the Sutherland launch
Siwash.
It is the intention of Col Steese,
to make a thorough study of road
needs in the Kantishna. He will
investigate conditions at Roosevelt
and then look over the proposed j
route into the district from the
Government railroad. Sommers
will spend some little time in the
district, mapping the various routes
and gathering data for the use of
the commission in outlining the
work later on, when funds are avail
able for the construction of a trunk
road from the railroad to the heart
of the Kantishna mining region.
While Sommers is thus engaged,
Col. Steese will return to Nenana
and go out to Lignite, where he
will confer with Hawley Sterling,
who, it is understood, will be at
tached to the road building organ
ization in an engineering capacity.
By the time Mr. Sommers is
through with his work, it is expect
ed that Col. Steese will have com
pleted his investigations south of;
Nenana, and the two then will start!
on their return to the coast.
Colonels Steese and Gotwals will
meet at Juneau later in the season
to complete the new road building
program which will be submitted to
Congress during the winter session,
with a request for sufficient funds
to carry out the very comprehensive
plans, involving an expenditure of
a million dollars a year for a num
ber of years.
Col. Gotwals left Fairbanks for
the coast today, accompanied by Su
perintendent Dan Jones. They will
look over the Copper River district
and Jones will return to Fairbanks
later in the season, while Gotwals
will return to the headquarters of
the commission at Juneau, to await

on duty with various engineer troops,
including stations at Fort Leaven
worth, Kansas, Texas posts, and was
for some time in the Panama canal

he was in Washington with the rank
of colonel and was put in charge;
of the personnel section of the en-1
gineer corps in the office of the chief j

tion of engineer units in the United !
States. In the spring of 1918 he!
was placed in charge of the per-!
jsonnel section of the general staff |

close of the war, to his present rank ]
of colonel, remaining in charge of

STAR PITCHER COMES
TO NENANA ON VISIT
Among the passengers who came
down on the special excursion train
from Fairbanks this morning is no
less a one than Mr. “Chuck” De
Witt. Mr. DeWitt, it will be re
membered, was until very recently
identified with the Fairbanks base
ball aggregation and, upon seeing
the line of autos well loaded with
Nenana belles, coercion was not
necessary. The ladies commanded
him to board the train, and he did,
and throughout the trip he was a
model prisoner.
The News has not been informed
of the date of his departure, but
from his conversation on the way
down it is inferred that he will be
here for some time. Mr. DeWitt is
at present a guest of Manager and
Mrs. Joe Fischer.
