The Alaska prospector., 1905-10-12

the war department makes a num- her of recommendations regarding Alaska military and telegraph ser vice. He recommends that Fort Davis. near Nome be abandoned and the garrison moved to Fort Seward. In his opinion the sta tion at Nome is entirely unneces- sary and it's maintenance a great expense. A recommendation is also made that soldiers be allowed extra pay for services in Alaska. This allowance has been made in some braches of the service hereto fore, but there was movement on foot to discontinue it. In regard to the cable and telegraph service. he recommends some extensive changes. the most important of which is the extension of the Alas ka cable from Seward to Dutch Harbor, on account of the import ance of the latter place in case uf war as a coaling station, and in time of peace as the gateway to the Bering sea, and a station where steamers on the northern route to the Orient can report. Between Dutch harbor and St. Michael he recommends that the feasibility of a wireless system he thoroughly in vestigated and if practicable a line installed.
