"Twelve miles of road, easy of
construction, would save the hun
dreds of people who go into the
Bristol Bay region every summer, a
trip of about 1,400 miles, a large
portion of which is made through
dangerous water. A road from
Illiamna Bay on the west side of
Cook Inlet to Lake Illiamna would
solve the problem, and the Alaska
road commission snould do this
work.
"This country in the past ten
years has produced about $20,000,
000 worth of salmon and other sea
foods, and behind it is a big mineral
country. There are several big
ledges of copper ore in that section
and there are indications of other
minerals. At present there is no
means of transportation, and as a
result there has been no develop
ment.
‘‘The road which I suggest, and
which the people in that country
have been trying to induce the gov
ernment to build tor some time past,
would also open up the Lake Clark
country, which is connected with
Lake Illiamna by a navigable stream.
If a good road was built, a man
could reach the canneries on Bristol
Bay from Cook Inlet in 24 hours. At
present it takes nearly as many days.
Both Lake Clark and Lake Illiamna
and the rivers connecting them with
the sea are navigable for light draft
steamers.”

Yesterday’s mail from the south
brought the information that
Alaska's salmon pack for the sea
son is the largest on record. It
totals 4,000,000 cases. The pack
is mostly left in first hands. The
foreign demand for the product is
brisk and there is no Question about
a good market price offering for the
entire pack.
The costs of the recent election in
the Second division were approxi
mately $2,500.
The city tax levy of Fairbanks for
this year has been fixed by the
council at 1% cents on the dollar.
The Fairbanks Commercial Club
endorses the, Olnes trail as the most
practical one between that city and
the new Tolovana district.
