FEDERAL HIGHWAY ACT
Recent advices from Washington are to the effect
that Congress has appropriated $300,000,000 to be dis
tributed between the States and Hawaii to carry out
the provisions of the Federal Highway Act. This Act
was extended to Hawaii some years ago and as a re
sult, that territory has a fine system of paved high
ways.
We wonder what is the matter with the Territory
of Alaska. Three agencies all working separately, are
spending what few dollars are available in this Terri
tory. Each maintains its own organization.
Given the extension of the Federal Highway Act
to Alaska, all these activities would be combined under
one management, cutting down the overhead to a min
imum and increasing the money available for use on
the public roads to practically double the amount we
are now getting. *
We are about to have a general election. Why not
have the gentlemen who aspire for office, declare
themselves as to their respective attitudes on this
question.
We hasten to say—they so often get us wrong—
that we are not criticising the management of the pre
sent road building agencies; they are probably doing
all that is possible under the present system. But we
do object to a duplication which results in undue waste
and extravagance.

| A radio beacon lias been es
tablished at Scotch Cap light sta- 1
|tion, Alaska, one of the foggiest j
regions in the world, acording to •
the Light House Service of the De- |
1 partment of Commerce. Despite
its remoteness, Scotch Cap is one
of the important lighthouses of the
Pacific for transpacific steamships
plying between Northwest ports
amd the Orient sweep northward !
°n an approximate great Circle !
course, passing close to the Aleu
tian Islands.
Scotch Cap is at the entrance j
to Unimak Pass, most westerly of j
the Alaska mainland, beyond this j
island the Aleutian Islands stretch I
westward toward Asia. Because of j
the prevalence of fog, the new j
radio beacon greatly increases the I
efficiency of the light station and !
will assist passng vessels in pass- i
ing to the the southward of, or j
through Unimak Pass, when the
light is obscured. Its great range, -
10 or 200 miles, provides naviga- |
tors with the means of taking a J
bearing a number of hours before 1 •
even the most powerful light could j!
be seen.
This northern route, one of the j
shortest between the two contin- i
ents, is extensively used. There i
have been marine disasters in the j J
past on these bleak islands, and J
the radio beacon will provide a «
greater safety by giving a definite \
position in the vicinity of Unimak |
Pass. It not only benifits trails- »
Pacific ships, but those steamships i
en route to and from North Alas
kan ports.
During clear weather the station
sends out its signal of two clashes
continuously for the first 10 min
utes of each half hour. During
foggy weather the same signal is
sent out for 60 seconds followed by
a silent interval of 120 seconds,
the schedule being repeated dur
ing the continuance of the thick
weather. This is the first station
at which this method of operating
a radio beacon has been adopted,
and it has the important advant
age of giving to all vessels within
a considerable distance informa
tion as to the prevalence of clear
weather or fog at the pass, ac
cording to wether the signal dur
ing the first 10-minute intervals
is sent continuously or with silent
intervals.
