ALASKA ROAD COMMISSION
SUBMITS BUDGET FOR 1924
The Alaska Road Commission, hav
ing in charge the road and trail build
ing of the territory, has submitted an
estimate for the 1924-25 appropriation
■from congress, which will convene in
December. The estimate calls for
$1,600,000, and the commission’s fig
ures have been approved by the war
department. This does not mean that
the commission will secure the sum
asked for, because the federal budget
bureau will scan the department’s
needs very closely and cut wherever
possible. But it seems likely in view
of the late President Harding’s ex
pressed belief in liberal appropria
tions for road and trail work in Alas
ka, a sum exceeding $1,000,000 will be
appropriated.

ing money. Unga is in the heart of
the fishing grounds and is reaping a
harvest from the fishermen. Mr. Hoel
ke, and family left on the schooner
Golden State fo rthe states, with a
capacity cargo of codfish. Over 300,000
fish were left for another cargo. The
fish are unusually large this year, one
fisherman catching 85 fish that weigh
ed over 2200 pounds.

NEW SCHOOL BUILDING
BEING ERECTED AT UNGA
The new school building, being er
ected at Unga by the territory, is near
; ly completed, and when done will be
! a great blessing to the youngsters.
I There are about 50 pupils to attend
| school this term.
Capt. J. H. Foster, Fred Cleland, It.
Boyer and Mr. Smith returned yester
day from the scene of the big gold
strike at Nuka Bay, and in an inter
view Mr. Foster told the Gateway that
the gold strike made by Frank Skeen
of Seward was all that it was reported
to be, and more.
“Mr. Skeen has a wonderfully rich
property there,” said Mr. Foster. The
vein has been stripped for a distance
of 50 feet and is about three feet wide
and 12 feet in depth. In excavating
for a tunnel one slab of rock weighing
about 50 pounds was taken out that
is absolutely specimen rock, so thick- i
ly was it studded with gold. The for
mation is slate, and while investigat
ing I found an extension to the vein,
but on the same claims. The rich
ness of th eore is even more than was
at first claimed.”
Capt. Foster is a war veteran of
several wars. He enlisted with the
Canadians and later transferred to
the American troops, taking service in
the tank corps, 30th division, under
Colonel Pullen. Mr. Foster pays the
deceased commander a brilliant trib
ute, saying he was one of Alaska's
brightest men and 100 per cent an
American. Capt. Foster was wounded
five times and received seven decora
tions.
IF YOU WANT A PARCEL POST
ZONE HELP POSTMASTER ROOT
Seward citizens interested in secur- w
ing a parcel post zone are asked to
turn in their data to Postmaster Root
as soon as possible, in order that he
may inform the authorities as to the
weights, classes of merchandise, mile
age, etc., before the time expires.
Seward pays as much to have one
pound of merchandise sent to Roose
velt, six miles out, as it does to send
the same matter to New York. The
cost for mailing parcels the first fifty
miles in the States is very low. We
should have the same advantages.
Be sure and turn in your data be
fore the end of the week.
