AUTO ROUTE To

POPULAR !

"The auto route to Cordova from Fair
banks is the winning way" said Fair
bankan this morning. The Fairbanks
party arrived on yesterdays train,
having reached Chitina the night be-
fore four days out from Fairbanks.
The natural time for the Sheldon auto
is three days, but they were delayed

the Delta and forest fires along the
way-nothing serious at any time, but

After you stick to the job in the In
terror for three or four years. with
out change, you become stale. The old
timers are beginning to realize this
more and more every year, and this
year. to a greater extent than ever,
they will be spending the winter on
the Outside. They realize that they
have the best camp on earth, and they
are not going out to stay, but that
| they may return in February or March
| in better condition to make their time
count.
'The old timer is familiar with all
the routes. except the auto route, and
he feels that a day gained in travelling
is worth while. The steamship route
is so much longer that the ease of 1t
doesn't appeal to him, so he is tackl-
ing the auto route. The interiorite is
willing to tackle anything once, and
the auto route shortens time to the
extent that he is willing to put in with
it in the future.

ment road upon which the Alaska
Road Commission is alleged to have

proclamation effects an elimination of
5,S01,574 acres Of land and 661,094
acres of water. The Forest boundary
lines were changed not only by max
ing elminations but by making three
additions to the Chugach Forest. One
occurs on the Kenai Peninsula, north
of the city of Seward, another in the
Puget Bay region, and the third Okla
lee Spit and other areas in that vicini.
ty. These additions were made in
order to include good body of timber
and to make workable administrative
boundary lines.
The lands eliminated consits mainly
of glaciated mountains and muskeg
areas of practically no forest value
but which were originally included
within the National Forest because
of the uncertainty which existed as to
the location and extent of the timber
ed areas and in order to establish a
boundary that could be more easily
described and administered.
The toal area of the Chugach Forest
is now approximately 5,S17,959 acres
of land and 3,05S,073 acres of water,
making a total of S.S76.q3a acres.
The present proclamation, it is stated
put the boundary lines of the Chu-
zach Forest about where they belong.
This Forest is one of the largest and
most valuable bodies of timber OF
merchantable size to be found any,

rigorous climate, the timber is smaller
in size and yield than, for instance, in

feet per acre, and in some places as
high as 10000 to $4,000 feet. The

Forest is reported to be about eight

and it is believed that this body of
timber will be the principal and most
| accessible source of lumber for the
development of the entire vast region
of Northern Alaska. From these for
ests, the interior country must draw
| its supply of structural timber in the
future. This timber is even now used
locally, 1876 sales having been con.
summated since 1907, involving over
| 100000 #. B. NJ, in addition to the
| large amount which has been supplied
| free to local settlers, prospectors, fish
ermen and others. Exclusive of the
panhandle, the area of Alaska is about
3O0,000,000 acres. less than two per
cent of which is to be retained within
the Chugach National Forest to sup
ply timber for this vast region.
The Forest will be drawn upon i'm
mediatly for railroad construction by
cooperation between the Forest Ser
vice and the Alaska Railroad Com

free of charge to the Alaska Railroad
as authorized by Congress.

Wilson Learns Country Is Behind Him in His Determination
to Provide Adequate Increases at Next Session of
Congress With Daniels

President Wilson. in conference with
Secretary of the Navy Daniels yester-
day afternoon, set about the preparation
of his national defense program.
The President conferred with Secretary
Daniels for an hour, and it was said
afterward that the discussion related to
the tentative form of the report on the
condition of the navy which the Secre-
tary is now formulating. White House
officials said that today the President
will take up with Secretary of War Gar
rison the latter's report and recommen-
dations for increasing and strengthen
ing the army. After the reports of the
two Secretaries have been studied by the
President conferences will be held with
the chairman of the Naval and Military
committees of the House and Senate.
Political advisers of President Wilson
reported to him on his return that a
quiet inquiry made in the past three
weeks shows the country is enthusiast
tically behind him in his determination
to provide adequate increases for the
army and navy at the forthcoming ses-
sion of Congress.
1t was indicated clearly by members of
the administration that the President re-
