Recognition of Alaska's imperative
need for a more comprehensive sys
tem of roads and trails is contained
in the recommendation of the inter
departmental committee recently
made to Secretary of the Interior
John Barton Payne, asking for the ■
appropriation annually of not less
than $1,000,000 for road construc
tion work in the Territory. The
committee finds that the develop
ment of the country is being largely
hampered by lack of adequate trans
portation facilities.
The early enactment of legisla
tion creating an interdepartmental
board is recommended, such board
to have authority to administer all
Federal law's relating to public
lands, leases, water power, fisheries,
timber, railroad construction and op
erations, and wagon road construc
tion.
Pending necessary action by Con
gress, it was also recommended that
the interdepartmental Alaska com
mittee be organized to be composed
of representatives of all govern
mental departments concerned in
Alaska affairs, and that an addition
al secretary of the interior be ap
pointed to devote all his time to
Alaskan affairs and spend a large
part of his time in Alaska in direct
touch with the situation, studying
problems demanding solution.

the bureau of mines make an in

AYER WINS RACE
EOR BORDEN CUP;
TRAIL IS HEAVY
F. M. Ayer, driving his famous
team of sprinters, annexed the
fourth annual John Borden Mara
thon Cup contest over the Cape
Nome course in April, after a lively
contest with the Webb team of trail
burners. Seppala, who was the only
other entry in the race, started, but
found his dogs unwilling to jvork
and withdrew from the contest after
proceeding to the vicinity of the
Milk ranch in the east end.
The race started at 7:30 a. m.,
April 24, under misty weather con
ditions and with a light moist snow
fall making the trail far from fa
vorable to high speed. The Webb
team, driven by Bert McCarthy, was
the first to take the trail from the
starting line on Barrack square.
Ten minutes later, the Seppala Si
berians sped away down the course.
After another ten-minute interval,
,the Ayer team dashed away from
| the tape and was soon out of sight,
j Whether from staleness or the soft
; weather, the Seppala aggregation
was reluctant almost from the start
and could not be induced to show
its normal speed by any means of
persuasion at the command of the
(doughty little Norseman. After try
j inc his best to make the team liven
iUp its pace, Seppala gave it up as a
!bad job after he had been over
j taken by Ayer when still within the
I
city limits. The race proceeded be-' !
tween Ayer and Webb, with the for
mer gradually cutting down the lead
(of his opponent until both were to
gether at the turning flag. The trail
was too heavy for fast work, how
ever, and neither team displayed the
high-speed qualities of earlier years, j
| Ayer covered the course in 2 hotirs, I
j 43 minutes, 34 seconds. This is |
jthe slowest time developed in any
i of the four contests and is far be
i
|
hind the record established by Sep
pala last year. The time of the
Webb team was 3 hours, 12 minutes,
19 seconds.
As the rules under which the
race is run provides that the huge
silver cup donated by Mr. Borden
shall become the property of the
team owner who wins the annual
contest three times, by winning this
year Mr. Ayer becomes the owner
of the cup, and the race will become
a thing of the past unless a new
trophy is hung up. The Ayer team
won the first and second contests in
1917 and 1918, but was beaten by
the Seppala entry last year in the
remarkable time of 1 hour, 50 min
utes, 25 3-5 seconds. Ayer’s time
in the same contest was 1 hour, 53
minutes, 21 1-5 seconds.
