FORESTRY DEPT. BUILD fYAk
 LAKE ROAD

T. NJ. Hunt, of the forestry service whose headquarters are now at Sew ard, is in town on official business He was a member of the commission that last year mapped out the road projects for the Chugach forest re serve, including the building of pub, lie highway around Eyak lake and the building of road from Katalla to the oil fields.
 'I am glad to see that the territoria, road commissioner has decided to be gin work on both of these projects. for they are certainly needed" said Mir Hunt. 'I hope that when the engineers of the bureau of public roads, depart ! fmeat of agriculture, who are now at work in southeastern Alaska. reach this seceitn and make their surveys and estimates of the cost of the roads recommended that the work of extend ing the highway around Eyak lake will immediately be undertaken, as we'll as the completion of the katalla project.
 By the federal aid act which passed early last winter by congress, $10.- D00.000 was appropriated for the building of roads within and adjacent to the national forests of the United States. One million dollars is avail able each year for ten years. this am ! ount to be divided between the 1e2 national forests. Alaska's portion for the Tongass and Chugach national for. l ests is S46.200 year. At present there Is S90,000 available. being the 1917 appropriation and the 1918 ap- propriation. which was available July l. the beginning of 1918 fiscal year. This fund will continue to grow and is available until used. Next year the total amount to be expended along this coast will reach sl50.000. and I see no good reason why Cordova will not | get the much desired highway around the lake"
 w. H. Waugh. senior engineer of the office of public roads, is now at work making surveys in the vicinity of Ketchikan. He was road engineer
 for the government many years in the Philippine islands, and Is an expert wodsman. It is not known just when he will arrive in Cordova.

 BILL
(Ry Associated Pressl

WASHINGTON, Aug. IS. = The food control bill establishes, during the war, broad government control over foods, feeds, fuel, fuel oils, natu- ral gas, fertilizer and it's ingredits, tools, utensils and equipment required for the actual production of all such products. designated "necessaries."
 In establishing government control the bill authorizes the president to en- ter into any voluntary arrangements, create. or use any agency or agencies, to accept services of any person with out compensation, to cooperate with any agency or person, to utilize any department or agency of the govern mont, and to coordinate their activi- ties.
 In pursuance of such authorization, President Wilson has appointed Herbert c. Hoover food administrator. Control of other necessaries named may be accomplished through other agencies. The house provision for an individual food administrator was en- acted only after the president had pre- vailed upon the senate and house con ferees to eliminate senate amend ment, inserted by two overwhelming votes of 63 to 19 and 60 to 23. propos- ing board of food or three subjects to senate confirmation.
 Comprehensive powers are given In the bill, passed as war measure, to assure adequate supply and equi- table distribution of the named neces- saries, to facilitate their movement; i; to prevent, locally and generally. scar city, monopoly, hoarding. injurious speculation, manipulation or private control affecting supply, distribution and movement.
 Other provisions of the bill fix a minimum price for wheat. beginning next year at not less than s2 per standard bushel; provide for coal and coke price; fixing, commandeer' ing and government operation of fac tories and mines producing necessar ies; for government purchase. sale and reQuisition of various necessaries, and for federal licensing of agencies pro ducing and handling them.
 | The bill appropriates for fund oi $150 .UOO ,000 to be used in it's admins tration and 100000 for federal pur chase and sale at cost of fertilizer. The prohibition provisions. a com promise for 'bone dry prohibition proposed by the house. prohibits thu manufacture and importation of dis titled liquors for beverages during tn,
