W|LLGO GOODROADS
COMMERCIAL CLUB DETERMINES
ON IMPROVEMENTS.
MAY USE GRAVEL NEAR TOWN
An Active Campaign Toward Perma.
nant Roads Southeast and Northeast
Of the City viii be Attempted-Roa
Districts to be Asked for Help.

Recognizing that good roads are an
important factor In bringing retail
trade to a town the directors of the
Commercial club have voted to work
for the immediate improvement of
some of the poorer country roads lead
the directors have in mind as demand
ing immediate attention are the first
half mile of road east of the Norfolk
avenue bridge over the Northfork and
the piece of road north of the bridge
which crosses the Northiork above the
dam and between the NJ. & o. track
and the bridge.
At the morning meeting of the board
a resolution was adopted that every
possible effort OF the Commercial club
should be made to have these strips of
country road improved. These roads
were characterized as the poorest
about the city and as Offering an OBJ
stacle to Norfolk's retail trade from
the north and east. If the plans Of
the Commercial club succeed liberal
supply of gravel will be used in good
road making on these roads.
AS the roads are outside of the city
limits the directors hope to interest
the road districts in the improvements.
If additional financial help is needed
the club may find some way of rem.
dering assistance.
No other action of public moment
was taken at the Tuesday meeting.

Sentiment in Clearwater today
seems to be that the lad drowned &C

what had happened to come to town
and give an alarm. II is said that the
Roth boy had been fighting with the

he thought his brother was coming
after him and that, frightened and
eager to escape, he ran into the water,
fell down and drowned in a shallow

Extensive coal mines will be in op- eration on Kachemak bay next year if present developments are continued and the plans for handling a heavy output are carried out.

 Mir. Ross went through on the Port land yesterday. He came up early in May on the Bertha with twenty-three men, who are now working the prop erty, and A. B.

Commission Officials Considering Proposition to Construct
 It this Year.
ASK FOR SURVEY AND ESTIMATE
Mai. Richardson Figures That it Can Be Done More CheapIy While
 Sunrise Work is Organized.

It is probable that the road to Bear river from Seward will be constructed this summer by the Alaska road com- mission, as we'll as the Sunrise and Hope trail. Although road up the valley is much needed by the home steaders who live there and have no ingresS and egress now except by way of the railroad, Seward people had re- trained from asking for it's construction this year because they did not wish to be in the attitude of asking too much.
 Nevertheless the valley road was brought to the attention of Maj. Rich ardson while he was here as matter for future consideration. When the amiable president of the Alaska road commission learned that the cost of of the road would be comparatively small he requested that survey and estimate of the cost be submitted at once formally to the commission with view to making the road this year while an organized force of road build CTS is in the region, the point being that the road can be constructed more cheaply now than at another time when that work might be orangized alone.
 The road will be about six miles long and easy of construction, the bridges being the most expensive feature, particularly that across the Resurrect- ion river Corduroy may have to be laid in few places but the grading work will consist chiefly of cutting brush and throwing out old logs. The road will be practically level.
