The repeated references 10 roads by ihe speakers al the republican rally is sn excellent indication that the public are at last waking up 10 the fact that reads are the first essential 10 the de- yelopment Of this section of the ter ritory. When the politicians commence 10 dilate upon d subject, whether 1t be roads or anything else, at the rate the republican speakers did the other night | is pretty nearly certain that the public are demanding something of that sort The wise politician notes very carefully the way the breeze Is blowing and as a usual thing. he will be found guiding his political bark pretty close into the wind of popular demand especially when il gets around voting time.
 The vote seeker IS not slow when II comes 10 feeling fhe public pulse or picking out popular slogan to inscribe upon his banner Without exception, the republican speakers placed themselves on record as favor ing more and better roads and also pledged themselves to devote their best efforts 10 securing them. AS the remarks of the various candidates at tested, roads. roads and more roads are needed. Without them there can be little in the way of further develop ment and without an increase in de- Yrlopment the already decadent pros- perity must grow still more decadent Without an increase in the develop ment of the primary resources, the country must inevitably remain in exactly the same state as al present, 1T II does not lapse into q condition where the wealth production will not support even the present small popu- lation.
 The territory Is rich in mineral wealth but, under present conditions, it's profitable extraction is practically impossible. Gold, copper tin, iron and variety of other minerals are found in commercial quantities throughout the peninsula. Thousands of acres of proven gold bearing ground exist in the Kougarok district; the York section abounds in tin; high grade copper ore is found in numer- ous places in the interior and along the northern coast Iron, lead, silver, graphite and antimony are found in dozens of places while gold quartz containing excellent values exists in practically every section. An almost incalculable wealth is lying on every side but because of the almost com- ication it's extraction Is impossible. Without open channels for the trans- portation of mining commodities and the proceeds Of that industry all this vast mineral wealth might just as well be located on the moon for all the benefit it will be to ourselves.
 Roads We must have. for 1t is only through their acquisition that we may advance and prosper. To get them we must work. Not by kicking at the road commission, as has been the un- generous habit of the past but by as- sisting the commission to extend it's activities through lending our efforts toward securing appropriations from congress.
 The road commission is a costly and not altogether efficient system but kicking will not improve it in the slightest degree. As long as the na- tional government retains control of Alaska it Is practically certain that its road building activities will be
