KANTISHNA ROAD PROJECT
WILL RECEIVE ATTENTION
Although there are no funds
available at this time for the under
taking of new wagon road projects
in the territory, it is the intention
of the Alaska Road commission to
proceed with its plans for the link
ing of the Kantishna district with
the Government railroad, according
to Col. Jas. G. Steese, chairman
of the commission, who arrived from
Juneau this week on a winter in
spection trip, the chief purpose ol
which was to study snow condition*
along the line of the Government
railroad.
Questioned relative to the plan:
of the commission. Col. Steese in
formed a representative of Th<
News that the final selection of th<
Kantishna wagon road route woulc
be made during the coming summei
and that an effort would be mad*
to distribue supplies and materia
along the route sufficiently early tc
permit of the commencement ol
actual road building next spring
The several proposed routes hav*
already been investigated and esti
mates made of grades, but addition
al data will be obtained before i
final decision is' made. That is on*
reason why the chairman is in In
terior Alaska at the present time
Regarding funds to carry on th<
work of the commission, Col Steesi
said that neary half a million wa:
voted during the last session o!
Congress, and afterwards lost wher
President Wilson vetoed the arm*
appropriation bill, in which the roat
item was carried. He is not pre
pared to say what the present Con
gress will do, but he is hopeful o
securing at least as much as wa:
voted during the winter. With tha
amount available, it will be possi
ble to launch the Kantishna pro
jeet.
Much of the commission’s atten
tion this season will be devoted t<
the Richardson highway and worl
will be started on the Chatanika
Circle road, with the ultimate ain
of making it a part of the propose
system of Alaska automobile high
ways.
Col. Steese refused to talk politic
but admitted that he had heard th
Alaska governorship discussed con
siderably during his stay in Wash
ington. From what he heard, hi
gathered that Alaskans were not ii
the best of standing at the nationa
capital because of the apparent in
ability to harmonize their differ
ences, and the belief seemed to b*
that both Alaska aspirants for thi
governorship had been eliminate*
from consideration, for the timi
being, at least. It was believed a
Washington, when the colonel lef
there, that the President would no
be in any hurry to appoint a sue

cessor
to the present incumbent.
The gold bonus bill. Col. Steese
believes, will have a hard time pet
ting through Congress. He asserts
that such a measure will never pass
on its merits, because it is class
i legislation and unsound economical
: ly, and he doubts if sufficient in
j fluence can be brought to bear to
put it over. The colonel recognizes
! the great help that such an act
' would be to Alaska, and he would
' like to see the bill pass for that
j reason, but he sees little hope for
: it.
Col. Steese anticipates that many
tourists will visit Alaska this year
| and, with the end in view of at
tracting some of them to the In
terior by way of the Richardson
road, he recently sent a communi
i cation to various tourist agencies
and transportation companies, di
1: recting their attention to the “splen
' did tourist facilities that will be af- j
forded tourists for summer travel
* | through the interior of Alaska”
this summer. The communication
• refers chiefly to the Richardson
Highway and the beautiful country
traversed by it.
1 Amonp those receiving the com
munication were the Raymond and
' Whitcomb Tourist Agency, of New
York; the Canadian Steamship Co.;
: Thos. Cook & Sons, New York;
! White Pass Route, Chicago; Alaska
, Steamship Co and the Pacific Coast
, Steamship Co.
The communication explains that
i the Richardson Highway was some
what neglected during the war, ow
ing to insufficient funds to keep it
in good repair, but that “it has
; now been rehabilitated and during
the summer of 1920 some 900
' tourists made the trip from Fair
banks to Chitina, on the Copper
| River Railroad, 320 miles by auto
mobile in three days without any
serious inconvenience or discomfort,
i There are comfortable roadhouses
, along the route.
’ :
:! “This summer, 1921, the Valdes
. end of the road will be open and
t tourists may expect service through
I local operators from July 15 to
.! September 15, between Fairbanks
and either Chitina or Valdez. The j
. trip may be made in either direction
, but is most attractive going out
from Fairbanks, and this direction
also connects with a down-the-Yu
,; kon trip from Whitehorse or Daw
I son.
1 :
I i “Tourists should be advised not
to bring their automobiles, but to
use the facilities of the country,
which are especially adapted to con
, ditions met here. The military high-,
I "'ay is a graveled surface road, ‘
, across two main mountain ranges
. at an elevation of about 3,000
. feet, and is not a concrete boule
’ vard.”
The chairman suggests “a com
, plete Alaskan summer tour”, cov
ering about 30 days and the ap
proximate necessary expense ac
count per person is placed at $500
r from Seattle and return. The
. scenery along the suggested route!
. is properly described as “magnifi- |
. cant" and the weather as generally;
