BUREAU OF PUBLIC ROADS
Too much stress cannot be laid upon the value of
the Bureau of Public Roads to Alaska as a vital con
structive agency through which permanent and valua
ble improvements emanate. We could wish no better
success for all Federal agencies in the Territory than
that they gauge up to this organization in point of
thoroughness and economy. What is budded by the
Bureau is budded on lines of permanency and expres
sive of the highest skill in technique.
The result of this efficiency is that Seward is the
recipient of some of the finest roadways in the world
and the Bureau of Public Roads occupies one of the
highest positions in public esteem.
The improvements now being launched through
connection with the Kenai Peninsula will have a vital
effect upon the progress of this portion of Alaska and
will stand as a monument to far-sighted judgement
when the great area influenced by the improvements, is
brought within the scope of the. energies of the pio
neer who will transform the wilderness into a region
of happy homes and bring into fruition the multiple
resources only awaiting this key to open them up.
SHORT AND SWEET
The reliance placed upon various statesmen, such
as the recent visitation here of the Congressional C om
mittee which will, in due time, present their report of
their findings here to Congress, brings to mind Lin
coln’s reliance upon Stanton, his great secretary of
war. They did not always agree, however, and Stanton
seems to'have felt entirely free to oppose his chief
ipon occasion.
Official correspondence dug up in . Boston is re
narkable for its illustration of this point, as well as
ieing an indication that few words were wasted b\
hese giants in making their respective views known,
t seems that Lincoln wanted a certain man appointed
m Army chaplain. Stanton objected with apparent
uccess, as the correspondence quoted indicates:.
“Dear Stanton: Appoint this man chaplain m the
umiv. A. Lincoln.”
“Dear Mr. Lincoln: He is not a preacher.
danton.” # _. . „
“Dear Stanton: He is now. A. Lincoln.

“Dear Stanton: Appoint him anyway. A. Lincoir.
