MUCH MONEY FOR
 OUR ROAD WORK
AT LEAST $3O, 900 FOR WAGON ROADS WILL BE THE
 INITIAL SUM.

If the cable message to the Gateway yesterday proves to be correct, and there is no reason to believe it is not, it will mean that from the half mil lion dollars appropriated for wagon roads in the territory scores of thou sands will be used in this neighbor- hood. Superintendent Anton Eide stated this morning that if the Gate way information from Juneau is con frmed it will mean that to begin with the district around this city will have S25,OOO to work with immediately In addition to that sum the district now has $4,OOO coming to it and this will mean a total of $29OOO at once for the expenditure near this city. Mir. Eide repeats the statement that Colonel Richardson expressed the firm belief that the appropriation would go through and the cable received by the Gateway yesterday saying that it had passed was received from a Juneau source that can hardly be doubted.

START FIGHT ON
 CANADIAN LINES

JUNEAU.-A long expected battle
 to compel the Canadian steamship
 lines to quit carrying passengers be- tween Alaska and American ports be- low evidently began the other day when Ben s. Grossup, the well known Tacoma lawyer started things in Washington. The contention among American steamship interests engag ed in Alaska trade has always been that the Canadian lines are evading the spirit of the coastwise law when they transport passengers between American ports in Alaska and Ameri- can ports on Puget Sound. They have always contended that the trans fer of the passengers holding through tickets between American ports from one Canadian vessel to another at Vancouver does not bring the traffic within the intent of the law, which, they allege, is to conserve American coastwise traffic for American ship ping. It would seem that the fight has now come to a head.
 If Mir. Grossup, who is attorney for the Admiral line, is successful in his efforts it would compel the Canadian Pacific and the Grand Trunk to cease selling through tickets from Alaska to Puget Sound ports, or from Puget Sound to Alaska ports. The effect of such a course, it is said, might result in reducing the Canadian service on the Alaska run.-Empire.

$24,OOO SPENT ON
 STREET WORK HERE

Since Seward was designated as the ocean terminal of the Alaska Govern ment railroad, the city, rising to it's new dignity and full of confidence in great future, has spent more than twenty thousand dollars on street i'm prOvements alone. That means that Seward, a city which has been kept up we'll for years, went to a further ex- pense to prepare for the great period on whose threshold it now finds itself. The street grading, sidewalk building and a little sewer work already done cost slightly over twenty thousand dollars, according to the figures of the city engineer this morning, and with in two weeks contracts will be let for work costing an additional four thou sand dollars.
 In spite of this vast expenditure for a town of this size, and for a town which already had fine streets with good natural grades and foundations, the expense of street improvement has only been begun. As the pOpula- tion continues to increase and as new buildings continue to go up as they are going at present further improve ments will be necessary, but right to- day people that land from the steam CTS cannot refrain from remarking that Seward physically, at least, is the most prosperous looking town on the coast.
 In addition to the improvements af- fected by the municipality, of course, are the improvements made by the government which reach, needless to say, a vastly larger sum. In few days work on the big new dock will be begun and other improvements will be accomplished This all brings to mind the fact that if one takes into account the street improvements, dock building, construction of private buildings, construction of machine shops, government residences, railroad yards in the city limits and similar work the city of Seward has within the past year since it was named the terminal witnessed within its corpor- ate limits an expenditure for improve ments which must be more than half a million dollars,
