cilities of Alaska. save that by wa
ter; only One-third of said roads
and trails being available for travel
and transportation during the sum-
mer months and the rivers of the in
terror Of Alaska being closed by
ice during the seven months of win
ter, leaving an immense area of
otherwise productive country with
out adequate transportation for the
greater part of the year; and,
Whereas, The present transporta-
ton facilities are wholly inadeouate

the resources of the territory. and.
Whereas, Bona fide residents of

ing an estimated approximate cost

per cent of the territorial revenue
derived from licenses collected out
side CT Incorporated towns, amount
ing approximately to 100000 per

inadequate for the proper and neces-
sary maintenance, extension and the

Whereas, AS the only source of re
lief other than that derived from
the Alaska fund. is a direct appro-
priation by the congress CT the Unit
ed States; and,
Whereas, The 1891 miles of wagon
and sled roads and trails heretofore
built by the Alaska road commits
sion has proven of inestimable bene-
fit in the development of the indus
tries of the territory; and.
Whereas, The work of the Alaska
read commission, under the able di-
rection of its chairman, Lieut. Col.
w. p. Richardson. has proven emf
nently satisfactory and has dem
onstrated that such undertakings can
be better and more economically
done by the army than by individual
contractors; and now, therefore, be

very striking and highly artistic.
