COLONEL STEESE.
The newly appointed president of
the Alaska Road commission, Col.
James G. Steese, will come to Alas
ka with an enviable reputation made
as an officer of the engineer corps
of the regular army. Those who
know him and are familiar with his
work say that he is ranked as one
of the most efficient of American
engineers, and as such he will un
doubtedly make a capable head for
the federal road-building organiza
tion.
Those Alaskans who have met and
conferred with Col. J. C. Gotwals, j
the present president of the com
mission, probably will regret, says
the Alaska (Juneau) Daily Empire, I
that he is not to continue in that'
position, and at the same time be!
gratified that he is to remain on it.
In fact, as engineer officer of the
commission he will be brought more
closely in touch with Alaskans gen '.
erally than would have been the j
case otherwise.
A ltV,
and in the country. Col. Gotwals,
wherever he has been in the Terri
tory on official duties, by his frank
ness in talking- over road matters,
the broadness of his vision in deal
ing with transportation problems
confronting all sections, has, even
in so short a time, won a large
measure of confidence from Alas
kans whom he has met that prom-:'
ises well for harmonious working j i
agreement between the federal road-j'
building authorities and the people;'
of the Territory. This policy has I
brought him into contact with peo-j]
pie in all walks of life in the towns! 1
he has visited, resulting in informal' i
and friendly talks in which he heard j I
the viewpoint of the settler, farmer, t
miner, prospector, merchant and oth-1
ers interested, forecasting the focal-j<
izing of divergent interests into a;1
united front in a concerted effort \
for real highway building. j \
Everywhere he has been he has'!
stated plainly the desire for and r
need of the Alaska Road commission !c
for support from Alaskans to its re- s
quests to Congress for funds with I
which to carry on its projects. At. I
the very outset he has realized that ’ i
the organization which he headed is
•could not realize the fullest mea- j \
sure of success if it had to combat o
factional interests. Alaska Road y
commission officials in the past at |
times have been compelled to make:*
their fights almost unaided and some
times against bitter opposition for
their appropriations. Col. Gotwals
seeks to avoid this by taking the
people into his confidence and pre
senting to them a definite program
for continuous and progressive con
struction. It is hoped and expected
that his successor will continue for
the good of Alaska the policy adopt
ed by Col. Gotwals and carry it for
ward to ultimate success.
AUTO TIRE INDUSTRY.
Few more astounding statements | f
of commercial fact have been made J t
than the prediction by the head of
one of the great automobile tire
manufacturing companies that the j
tire business of the United States
for 1920 would reach a total of
I $1,200,000,000, with an even grea
er amount in prospect for 1921.
! The figures for 1914, before tl
jwar, were §300,000,000. In s
j years they have multiplied 400 pe
j cent.
This year’s tire business wi
amount to more than the total in
Ports of this country, free and dut
able, fifteen years ago.
It amounts to more than all th
sold in circulation in the Unite
States and almost doubles the valu
of the output of petroleum, its assc
ciate in making the motor car a sue
cess.
Less than twenty-five years agi
the law forbade the driving of ai
automobile on any public highway
Today the portion of the aut<
which touches the highway, to sa;
nothing of the cars which rol
noiselessly along on the imprisonet
air, is the basis of one of th<
world’s greatest industries.
NEW MEXICAN REGIME.
Francisco Villa and Felix Diaz
ire virtually the only notable ex
•eptions to the list of former rebel
eaders who have espoused the latest
iberal revolutionary cause in Mex
Guillermo Meixueira, the Oaxaca
eader, was in possession of the cap
tal for a time after President Car
■anza and his followers evacuated
he capital, in accord with the new
novement. Manuel Pelaez, the oil
listrict chief, entered Tampico, was
easted and toasted and interviewed
o the effect that he was not a per
>etual revolutionist and saw in the
iberal revolutionary movement a
mited country. He said the Cedillo
mothers and other former rebels in
he Tampico district were with him.
Hipinia Aguilar, Pedro Gaba.v and
thers between Mexico City and
era Cruz helped impede the ad
ance of the Carranza trains, but
I’hile they are supposed to be under
he leadership of Felix Diaz, his
ame has not been mentioned in
onnection with the operations. The
uccessors of Emiliana Zapata in
lorelos—Genevevo de la O. and
alentin Reyes—came into the cap
al with General Obregon. It is
tated that, on the isthmus south of
'era Cruz, trains are operating with
ut guards for the fir.st time in
ears.
