AN ALASKA CHAMPION
Ihe Gateway published an Associated Press dispatch
from Seattle on Wednesday giving in part Col. Steese’s
address before the Seattle Mining Club in which he stated
one and one-half million dollars would be spent in Alaska
this season on trail and road maintenance.
Alaskans have long known how fortunate they are
to have at the head of its most important department, the
Alaska Road Commission, a man of the caliber of Colonel
Steese; but few know of the great work being accomplish
ed for Alaska by former residents of the Territory or by
those who are financially interested in its development.
Among these is the Hon. Wm. Sulzer, former governor of
New York and brother to the late Charles E. Sulzer, dele
gate to Congress from Alaska, whose timely Cooperation
before the Hearings of the Sub-Committees of the Com
mittee on Appropriations in the United States Senate,
69th Congress, First Session on H.R. 8917—a Bill making
appropriations for the military and non-military activi
ties of the War Department for the fiscal year ending
June 30, 1927, and for other purposes, was undoubtedly a
big factor in convincing the members of the Senate body
of importance in granting the full appropriation asked
for by Colonel Steese. The importance of assisting the
miner and prospector by a more liberal road and trail con
struction policy was particularly stressed by Mr. Sulzer.
Believing his address before the Hearing Committee
will be of interest to our readers we are publishing ex
tracts from it in another column of this issue.
Alaskans appreciate highly such a stout champion at
Washington as Governor Sulzer and will welcome the op
portunity of thanking him personally this summer upon
his visit to the Territory.
A TIMELY WARNING
Today a Forest Service official stated that the 1926
Torest Fire season has begun. Fires are occuring in the
woods. The danger of fires will be great this year. Snow
fall has been way below normal and the season is a month
ahead of time. Everyone is urged to be careful with fire
in the woods.
Efforts to keep forest fires out of the Seward section
hae been successful, only one small fire having occured in
the last four years. However, there must be no let up
in carefulness, interest and help.
In case of fire, report it to the nearest forest officer
as all have telephones. If you can not reach a forest of
ficer you can report the fire to the U. S. Marshal. He will
be in a position to act.
Prevent Forest Fires—It Pays!
