START AUTO ROAD
 ID THE INTERIOR
Stanley Auto Manufacturing Company Wire to Chamber of Commerce
 for Information.
Seattle, July 2, 1913.

Seattle. July 2, 1913 Valdez Chamber of Commerce: We want to start a stage line from Valdez to Fairbanks; will the roads from coast to interior permit of it. Also give fare we could charge An swer.
 STANLEY AUTOMOBILE co. The above message was received by. President White of the Valdez Chamber of Commerce this morning from the Stanley Automobile Manu- featuring Company, one of the largest concerns in the business in the Un- ited States, manufacturing a powerful steamer which would be the kind of machine for the run from the coast to the interior.
 President White immediately con suited with the other business men of the town and with Col Richard son, president of the Alaska road commission, under whose supervision and plans the present system of roads in Alaska have been built and i'm proved until they are fit for auto mobile traffic.
 When seen by representative of the Prospector Col. Richardson stated that the government road from Val dez to Fairbanks is open for auto mobile traffic under favorable wealth CT conditions, but that the road was not built with that purpose in view, but merely as wagon road into the interior and that while auto trucks could be operated upon it yet the time was not ripe for the establishment of a regular service from the coast to the interior as much work had yet to be done before a service could be maintained upon schedule. The colonel pointed out that the funds of the commission were limited. that the loss of a bridge at any time would tie up the automobiles, as no funds were available for quick repairs.
 While an automobile can make the run at any time over the gover1ment wagon road, we do not feel that the condition of the road justities the es tablishment of such an auto service at this time," said the trail builder.

The states educational progress Is
evident to any thoughtful observer
who is at all familiar with present
educational condeions. Take for
example the splendid development OF
the state educational institutions in
the last three years. The University
Is spreading its influence to the re =
motest part of thu state. Under the
strong hand of DR.. Brooks, one of
the states educational leaders, Okla
homa University has assumed Il
prestige abroad which is the prids
ri Oklahomans. Extension lectures,
correspondence courses, supervision
of athletics and debating icOntests
throughout the state, closer articu-
lation with county asyoeiationd OF
teachers. and above all the closer
supervision of high schools over the
stat9l raisingI the standard OF the
work, thus vtally touching every
community in the state, these are
the things which are doing so much
to raise educational standards
throughout the state
But the University is not alone
here. Probably no other educational
institutions have shown greater pro-
sress than the Normal schools.
Through organization, Capitalization
of administrative power uniform
course of study, n minimum of teach
ers employed and maximum of
working hours, together with in
creased enrollments and graduating
classes as well as high standards for
duation-these are a few Of the
self evident earmarks of progress in
all the state educational institutions.
But this is not all OF course
there has heen successive crop fail
ures OF course there has been nat
ural recoil and ensuing criticism in
cid nt to fitting mp the state from
dependent territorial administration,
