NUKA BAY ROAD
WORK TO START
IN FEW WEEK
Colonel Steese Announces 5
Miles of Road Construe
tion to Start Immediate
Future.
FROM BEACH TO MILL
Three New Projects Undei
Way This Season Under
Joint Appropriations. H.
W. Sterling, Supt.
The Nuka Bay road will be con
structed within the next two months,
Colonel Jams Gordon Steese, head of
the Alaska Road Commission, stated
to the Seward Gateway yesterday,,
while enroute through this city on
his way to the Juneau office. The
road will be approximately two miles
in length, running up the canyon from
the beach to a point just below the
mill. Considerable heavy rock work
will be necessary to put in the trail,
the Colonel stated. Hawley Sterling
Superintendent of the commission’s
activities in the Anchorage district
of the Territory, who is at present at
McKinley park, overseeing the pro
gress of the splendid park road, upon
his return from the Interior in about
a week, will come to Seward and leave
for Nuka Bay to start work immedi
ately on the new road. Some of the
;rew will be picked from Seward. Col.
Steese said he believed it would take
Tom six to eight weeks to complete
he road.
New Work Under Way
Together with the Nuka Bay pro
ject the Kodiak and Katchemak Bay
•oad construction is considered new
vork by the department. The work
it Kodiak is a two year project with
me-half of it at least, to be accom
plished this season. If it is possible
o complete the entire road this sea
ion, this will be done.
At Katchemak Bay a farmer’s road
bout nine miles in length, a sort of
“Y-shaped” road, is well under way,
j'he construction will be light and
vill amply serve the scattered and
hriving community of the entire dis
rict. All roads lead to the school
louse, forming a connecting link be
ween the two settlements on the bay.
Ake the Nuka Bay project, with joint
inancial cooperation with the Terri
orial Board and the Alaska Road
Commission, this work is being accom
dished.
Twelve-Mite Portage
Timbers for the bridge construction
.long the 12-mile portage, now being
leared away between Illiamna Bay
nd Illiamna Lake, were taken out
ast winter and are going into the
►ridges rapidly. Much grading is
tecessary along the portage, but
ompleted, a wonderful short-cut to
he Bristol Bay region will be at hand.
Colonel Steese said this work came to
halt during the world war, and not
ntil last year was work on the pro
ect begun again. With the inau
uration of the new mail contract
ext year, it is stated that mail leav
es Seward will arrive in the Bristol
lay and Kotzebue Sound districts, a
rTeek or ten days in advance over the
ormer route.
Work on the trail from Kenai Lake
o Kenai village, started two years
go, will be completed this fall, Col
nel Steese continued. This will be
first class sled road. Funds for
lie project are being supplied jointly
y the Territorial Board and the com
lission.
General Taylor Coming
I-or the first time in the history of
lie Territory, a chief cf Engineers,
r head of the civil works of the War
department, will pay a visit to Alas
a this year. Major General Harry
aylor will arrive in Juneau from
^ ashington, D. C., probably about the
liddle of next month. Major Gen
ral Taylor is the man who approves
r disapproves of all projects before
bey are presented to Congress, Col
nel Steese remarked, and generally (
is suggestions are looked upon with i
avor. in respect to! the local Lowell <
reek project, Major General Taylor
as stamped it with his mark of ap
roval, it is reported. The General
will be in the Territory for some time
making a survey of the various pro
jects under way, both under the juris
diction of the Alaska Road Commis
sion and the Rivers and Harbors de
j partment of Alaska, which Colonel
| Steese also heads.
Officially Opens Highway
During his recent trip over the
Richardson Highway Colonel Steese
- officially declared the highway open
for the season. This brief ceremony
took place on June 7. As an indica
; tion of the condition of the beauti
ful scenic highway, olonel Steese re
ports he made the trip from Chitina
to Fairbanks in two days, including
plenty of time for sleeping and eating,
i The Colonel arrived in Seward yester
day afternoon from Fairbanks, where
he delivered the commencement ad
dress at the Alaska college, June 11.
He departed for his Juneau headquar
ters last evening on the S. S. North
western. Together with Major Gen
eral Taylor, he expects to return to
Seward next month.
The Admiral Evans, now to the west
ward, is scheduled to arrive in port
tomorrow evening, according to the
latest report from the vessel. A light
list of outgoing passengers have made
reservations.
i BOXING SCHEDULED
FOR FOURTH OF JULY
The sports committee for the Fourth
of July celebration, is working on a
smoker and anticipate on having at
least three bouts. Local material is
more or less scarce so in all probabil
ity efforts wrill be made to bring over
a few atheletes from Anchorage. Ac
cording to the plans yesterday the
event will be held as on former occa
sions, in a ring erected on the main
thorofare.
TO ASCERTAIN
AGE OF SALMON
KARLUK RIVER
NOTED FISH AUTHORITY, DR. GIL
BERT, SPECIAL INVESTIGATOR
FOR B. OF F., TELLS OF WORK
IN DISTRICT.
The greater part of Dr. C. H. Gil
bert’s summer work in Alaska this
season will consist in a detailed study
of the red salmon run to the Karliick
River, for the purpose of ascertain
ing the ages of the fish which consti
tute the run, and especially the pro
portions in which the individuals of
each age are represented, Dr. Gilbert
stated to the Gateway yesterday, prior
to his return to Karluk.
Continuing, Dr. Gilbert said that
from last year’s study of the Karluk
race, he anticipated finding in this
year’s run red salmon in their fourth,
fifth, sixth and seventh years, the
eggs for which were deposited in 1921,
1920, 1919 and 1918. It is the inten
tion therefore, to take the run to
pieces to ascertain of what elements
it is composed, through a series of
such studies carried on over a term
of years to determine the relative ef
ficiency of spawnings of different sizes
and eventually to learn the number
of spawning salmon that should be
permitted to escape the fisheries, in
order to maintain the run at its min
imum size. When this is determin
ed, Dr. Gilbert stated, for one stream,
it will apply to all other red salmon
rivers, with necessary allowances for
local conditions.
