 This fall We will run over the road work done earlier in the sea- son, and smoothe down the road I bed so that with the opening of the next season We will have a good wagon road. There are ten crews at work between the two terminals of the road and they are doing good work. Olson's crew is now building the bridge crossing Stewart creek and Hol- lands men have just completed !he bridging across Jarvis creek and will move on to the Delta to build a bridge there, later going to Gum creek, to bridge that stream. X pile bridge 300 feet long is being erected across the iglacicr stream just beyond Mill ler'S, and ultimately the entire stream will be bridgcd by piling.
 Il look upon this road as my lifc's work and 1 hope to have it complcted to my satisfaction be- fore my labOrs arc ended in Alas ka. It is my ambition to make this road from the town of Val dcz LO Fairbanks over which one can drive an automobile or a bug Gy at comfortable rate of speed and over which the freight inS can be done at a minimum cost the year round aud without a doubt this situation will have been resolved into an accomplish rd fact within three years if con- gross can De made to give us the money necessary and it will take nU great sum to accomplish the purpose.
