FOREST MONEY:|5
.AVA|EAbLE..EOR .
ROADS.

JUNEAU, Aug 11-Judge Jennings
today handed down an opinion which
disposes of the receipts of the national
forests OF. Alaska, which were turned
over to the territory, and over the dis
position of, which there has been con-
siderable difference of opinion. The
courts ruling means that the money
will be equally divided between the
four judicial divisions of Alaska. i,
The law which provides that twenty
five per cent of the receipts from ma
tional forests shall be expended in the
county or counties in which the forests
are situated caused all the trouble. In
the territorial legislature the delegates
from the other divisions contended
that there are no counties in Alaska
and ordered the money. divided in four
equal parts. The. delegates from
Southeastern, Alaska were not satisfied
contending that for this purpose the
First Divisions the same as county,
and hence appealed to the courts.
Judge Jennings sustained the de-
murrers of the territory, in the suit
brought by the representatives of the
First Division. to prevent the pay
ment Of road moneys in the four divi-
sions Of Alaska. In an opinion on the
road money case the court refuse to
declare constitutional the action OF
the legislature in dividing forest re-
serve moneys.

Yesterday H. B. Sprague, accom-
panied by President Hazelet of the
Chamber of Commerce, and "Poker
Dick" McCaskey, in the launch Pros,
pector, went to investigate the clam
beds off Cape Whitshed, for the pur.
pose of considering the installation of
clam factory. Mr.. Sprague, as presi-
dent of the Lighthouse Packing Co.
will recommend the installation OF the
cannery, provided the CLANS are there
in sufficient numbers.
Mr. Sprague feels confident from
what he has learned since coming to
Cordova that he will be more than
satisfied with the extent of the clam
beds and with number and quality of
the CLAIMS. A chowder was arranged
for Mr.. Sprague the night before last,
and he pronounced the Cordova razor
back clam to be the finest in texture
and taste of any he has ever seen.
Mr.. Hazelet will return on the Pros
pector today, but Mr.. Sprague will
spend several days at Whitshed ex.
aiming the clam beds.

LARGER: CHART Of

!. " NEEDED


The Cordova Chamber of Commerce
has written letter to Capt. J. F.
Pratt. inspector of the Geodetic and
Coast Survey, urging upon him the
necessity of taking up, with the proper
bureau the question of chart on a
larger scale than, chart $500, to in
clude all of Orca Bay from Sheep
Point to Point Whiteshed, as well as
a survey of the mouth of the Copper
river on large scale chart, as no
survey has ever been completed of
this particular section. Several years
ago Capt. Ritter began survey, set
ting certain points, which are still
there, but this is as far that survey
has ever been carried. tn.
Next year three canneriesa will fish
that section. They use large launches
and stern-wheel steamers, besides
there is great deal of travel between
Cordova and Katalla, this route being
used to bring the gasoline from the
latter place to Prince William Sound
ports. Thus it can be seen that sur
veys should be made at the earliest
possible date.

SHIPMENT
HEAVY RAILS ON
THE WAY

Bringing the first consignment of
steel rails to be used in permanent
construction of the federal railroad in
Alaska, special train of twelve cars
reached Seattle last Friday night over
the Great Northern railway.
The rails are from Kansas City,
from which city they were brought
West over the Burlington railroad to
Billings, Mont, and turned over to the
Great Northern in that city to be hur-
ried to Seattle by fast schedule.
Although a large amount of steel
rails have been sent to the North to
be used in connection with the con-
struction of the line, they have all
been of light weight and used in con-
structing track for work trains. The
rails which reached Seattle are for
permanent trackage and will be used
in the construction of railway yards
at Anchorage. They were consigned
to George W. Evans & Co., of Seattle.
The shipment was loaded on the
freighter Seward, of the Alaska Steam
ship Company, which will deliver the
at Anchorage.

within four days we will resume

damage was done to the roadbed of
the railway by the high water and we
do not anticipate any further trouble
in the transportation of ore.
cat the present time every side
track between Chitina and the mines
is filled with cars loaded with copper
ore. 1t was also necessary to unload
some of the cars and stack the ore at
Chitina, while at Kennecott there is
a large quantity of copper ready for

"The present is the Pacific coasts

that the Coast needs is an intelligent

and this will come if the government
can be induced to permit development
without the usual government restric-

COAL IS NOW

WASHINGTON, Aug 14-Govern-
ment officials are giving serious con-
sideration to the urgent need of get.
ting the Alaska coal fields opened to
secure naval coal and an Alaskan
naval base. ..t
There is a growing belief that the
coming session of congress may take
emergency measures to get the coal
opened in both the Matanuska and
Boring River fields.
Not only will it be necessary to
bring the coal to tidewater where it
may be carried to other stations along
the Pacific coast and to the naval sta
tons near Honolulu and Manila, but it
will be necessary to construct naval
base in Alaska which will be protected
from attack of a foe. Fl

0REEQU|PMEN.T'
FOR LOCAL
RAILROAD

There will be more activity ON the
Copper River e Northwestern railway
during the coming winter than at any
previous time during this season,
which will require additional equip
ment and the employment of more
train crews.
This is due to the fact that the
Kennecott mines are to continue
working full force throughout the
year, in order to market as much cop
per as possible. In order to handle
this output during the winter months
the railroad will have to increase it's
rolling stock.
Under the present plans another
snow fleet will be necessary, and this
will necessitate the purchase of an
other rotary plough, two pushers en-
gines, one local engine and more fiat
cars. This means the employment of
additional tran crews.

C0RDOVA HARB0R
Be OFFICIALLY
SURVEYED

Colonel Cavanaugh, of the U. 8.
Army Engineering Board, has arranged
to send party of engineers to Prince
William Sound to make a recOnnis-
sance of the easterly one of Hawkins
Island, and the two peninsulas on both
sides of Simpson Bay, These are mil
itary reservations and the reconnois-
sance will cover all of the interior
topography. Arrangements are now
being made for transportation around
the bay for the engineers, and it is ex.
pected that a month at least will be
required to do this work.
Several years ago the government
set aside all of Hawkins Island and
all of the territory from the townsite
of Nelson to beyond Gravina Point for
military and naval reservations.
During the past year President Geo
c. Hazelet, of the Cordova Chamber Of
Commerce, while in Washington, urged
upon the departments the ACCESSIBILITY
of making definite surveys of what The
government wanted for fertilization
purposes and to return the balance Of
the reserves to the public domain. Thii
will be the first official surveys of The
harbor for Notifications and military
purposes.
