GOTWALS ON LONG WINTER
TRIP TO VIEW ROAD NEEDS
Major John C. Gotwals, engineer
officer of the Alaska Road commis
sion, who arrived in Nenana on Sat
urday, has come to Alaska direct
from the national capital to make
a winter trip through the Interior
districts for the purpose of gather
ing first-hand information relative
to wagon road and trail needs. Ho
will leave for the Kuskokwim dis
trict tomorrow with Leonard Sep
pala, of Nome dog racing fame,
and, upon his return to this dis
trict in February, by way of Rainy
Pass, will go into the Kantishna for
a look over that section of the In
terior. After the opening of navi
gation he will be joined by Col.
Steese, chairman of the commission,
and together they will make a sum
mer inspection of Interior districts,
going first into the Kuskokwim,
where the commission has a road
project under way between Ophir
and Tacotna. Col. Steese will come
down the Yukon on one of the first
Both Major Gotwals and the
chairman went to Washington dur
ing the early winter to further the
commission’s new and comprehens
ive road program for Alaska, in
volving the expenditure of a million
dollars a year for a period of years.
They were successful in getting
recognition in the estimates, which
is about as far as they can go. To
get Congress to appropriate the
sum requested, Major Gotwals says,
is a matter that depends largely
upon the action of Alaskans them
selves. The solid backing of the ter
ritory, he says, will help a lot to
put the program over.
One of Major Gotwals’ reasons
for making the present trip is for
the purpose of obtaining first-hand
knowledge of snow and weather
conditions throughout the region in
which the commission is building
roads and planning their construc
tion. The program is a large one
and, if carried out, will result in a
network of roads and trails that
will open the country to the fullest
possible development.
Major Gotways was accompanied
from the coast by Anton Eide, who
has chaige of road-building activ
ities in the Anchorage district. They
arc guests at the Cooney hotel.

The Portland has a postcard on
which is pictured the recent lynching
at Santa Rosa.
A recent arrival in Nenana
from the Outside declares that con
ditions are bad and getting steadily
worse on the Pacific coast. During
his stay in Seattle, he potlatched
daily to oldtimers who struck him
on the street for loans. And when
his own funds were getting low, he
met one of Seattle's numerous high
waymen and was forced to give up
nearly all the money he had. After
that experience he lost no time in
starting North.
A large boiler was shipped out
the line this week, for use in con
nection with the work at Tunnel
No. 2, where air drills are to be
used.
It is planned to extend the track
beyond Healy to Tunnel No. 1, a
distance of about a mile. The work
will be started in about a week.

A CHICKEN LOST
The Central Cafe had a chicken one day.
All dressed for a dinner—in banquet array—
Reposing in quiet, where chickens should be.
Before they appear for the public to see.
Some gentlemen out for a bit of a time.
Without any notions of terror or crime,
Walked quietly in, as a gentleman should;
Said one to another, “That chicken looks good.”
That chicken was good, without feather or frond!
The gentlemen left and—the chicken was gone;
We know that a chicken, when heated, is fine;
When served with the “sasses”, stuffin’ and wine
It’s good for the soldier, the merchant and all,
And many will rustle a chicken for gall;
But say! If a viand is good for a boost.
Come—pay for the chicken you took from the
roost.
