Report Much Road Activity
Assurance that Equal Amount of Work
Will Continue Next Year—A
Large Crew Employed
i
The decision to complete if possi
ble this season of the third unit of
the Moose Pass highway project by
the Bureau of Public Roads depart
ment which work will have been un
der way one month tomorrow, means
an additional expenditure in cash to
the Seward district of approximately
$70,000, according to J. B. Reher, en
gineer of highways, who returned to
Seward Wednesday evening from a
three days’ inspection trip over the
new road extensions.
This sum added to the $40,000 being
expended by the Siems & Carlson peo
ple on the two mile cut-off on the
Kenai-Seward road, which work was
let out by contract: the maintenance
work by the road crew in the Seward
vicinity, which is costing this year
$6,000, and the $15,000 already ex
pended this season by the depart
ment on unit No. 2, Moose Pass, for
maintenance work, brings the grand
total for road work in this district by
the Bureau of Public Roads to $131,
000. By the end of the season this
amount in cash will have been check
ed out locally. And next season’s
road work will consist of equally as
much, if not more, than the present
year, it is stated.
Two Miles of Road Completed
The examination of the Moose Pass
project this week was pleasing to En
gineer Reher, in the matter of pro
gress made in the few weeks since
the work was initiated. He estimates
two miles of road has been completed
in Unit No. 3 and approximately four'
miles in addition has been cleared
and burned. He is confident, weather
conditions permitting, that Unit No.
3, which is nine miles in length, will
be finished before winter sets in. But
during the winter months he expects
to see three bridges constructed.
Bridges of Good Size
The three bridges, their size and lo
cation are given as follows: The
first one will be a trestle bridge, over
Pass Creek, and will be 130 feet in
length and 30 feet in height; the sec
ond will span Frenchy Creek andVill
be of Howe truss construction and 60
feet in length; the third will be a
vent bridge over Donaldson creek,
125 feet long and 40 feet high.
Many Men on the Job
The station men, men in charge and
various stations on the project are:
Station No. 1170, Nels Anderson in
charge with six men; Station No.
1121, Carl Anderson and six men;
Station No. 1172, Fred Chalmers and
10 men; Station No. 1184, Jimmy Sci
mi and 11 men; station No. 1357, Gus
Bysted and 11 men; Station No. 1359
Eric Nelson and 7 men.
Three Camps on the Road
There are three camps established
on the project, two of which are op
erated by the Bureau of^Public Roads
and the third by Gus Bysted, which
is at Mile 26. The two department
camps are at Mile 22 and at Mile 27.
Surfacing on unit No. 2, on the Moose
Pass road will be completed about
the 15th of this month, Engineer Re
her stated. Next Wednesday he has
made arrangements to send out an
other crew of station men to Unit No.
3. This crew will have Station No.
1370 and will be in charge of John
Olson.

Illinois Takes Pride In Art
GaUery of Its Governors
SPRINGFIELD, 111., Sept. 11. (/P)—
When some artistic Illinois legislator
years ago introduced a bill to appro
priate money for an oil portrate of
the first Illinois governor, he set a
precedent which gave this state an
other first place among the forty
eight.
Thomas H. Stevenson, artist of
Philadelphia, who has just finished
reconditioning the portraits of Illi
nois’ governors, said that no other
state but Illinois has a complete set
of life portraits of its governor.
Mr. Stevenson placed Illinois first
in this respect because some cultur
ed legislator “knew the value of oil
paintings.” “Other states,” he said,
“have some fine pictures of gover
nors, including Maryland, and the
most complete set of colonial gov
ernors’ portraits hangs in Independ
enecg^Hall in Philadelphia, but no
other state approaches Illinois in the
degree of excellence and complete
ness of its executive gallery.
A conservative estimate of the val
ue of the gallery, Mr. Stevenson said,
would be about $50,000. Among the
finest examples of portrait painting
in the lot, he said, is that of Gov.
Shelby M. Cullom, done by G. P. A.
Healy and worth $3,000. These por
traits all hang in the governor’s of
fice and in the private office is the
picture of Patrick Henry, an early
official of this state, while it was
yet part of Virginia.
