TOTAL $95 Ten Year Program
$955,OOO.0t

'In addition. program of a mil. lion year for ten years has bee, drawn up and submitted. This pro gram will provide not only for tn, improvement to wagon road standard of all the above mentioned projects but it will also take care of new pro jects arising with the developmen of the next ten years. The accom- mpany map indicates the program propose, by the Commission, exclusive of Is plated projects in Southeastern Alas ka and in the Alaska Peninsula it is based upon the War Depar: ment appropriations and is exclusive of the Alaska fund or funds appro- priated for the Department of Agri- culture or by the Territorial legis. !ature. It will result in giving Alask,. n addition to short spurs and develop ment connections between the pro- ducing communities and water or rail transportations, the following through routes by road or trail.
 Savings Effected
 "The roads and trails already con stlucted and now being maintained by the Commission have not only opened up to development nearly all sections of the Territory but have eff fected large savings in freight charges. Data collected by the Com mission in 1913 indicates that the dir. ect saving in cost of transportation of freight during that year due to the construction of roads by the Com mission was $2,144,667. The total amount expended for construction and maintenance, 1905- 1913, was $2,57s.- SS2.7l. It is doubtful, however, if any thing like that amount of freight would have been transported without the roads and the indirect loss which would be occasioned by the restric- ton on output and development if the roads did not e4ist cannot easily be estimated. The corresponding fig ures for 192O are not yet available but it is expected that the showing will be even more striking.

EXPENDTTURE OF MILLION A YEAR ON ALASKA ROAD
 PROGRAM APPROVED

Chief of Engineers, War Department, Gives OK. to Commissions Plans. The expenditure of $1, ,O0O, 900 yearly for a period of ten years is contem- plated by the Alaska Road Com mission in a comprehensive road construction program for which es-. inmates have been submitted to the War Department. These estimates have been approved by the Chief of Engineers, according to adviceS re- ceived here by Col. James Gordon Steese, President of the Commission.
 An outline of the program together with summary of the work done during the season just closing and plans for next seasons worh, has just been issued by Col. Steese with a graphical illustration showing the present Alaska road system, and that contemplated under the new esti- mates.
 Mileage to be Increasde.
 When this program shall have been completed. the Alaska Road Com mission will have built in Alaska a total of 6,265 miles of wagon roads, winter trails and sled roads. Out of this total mileage there will be l,SO0 miles of automobile or wagon roads. HOO sled roads, $500 miles of trails.
 Through Routes Planned
 The plans of the Commission as announced by Col. Steese provide for four main automobile or wagon roads, from 91 to 573 miles in length, one of which will connect the coast anot..er the Alaska Railroad with the rich gold producing sections ot the kuskokwim distric. and extend on to the lower Yukon.
 Two of these routes will be al most entirely of new construction, third will be formed by linking up local projects already under way while the fourth is even now more than half completed.
 Valdez to Circle.
 The longest continuous stretch of wagon or automobile road included in the ten-year program connects up Valdez with Circle. Its length Is SIS miles. From Valdez to Fair banks, a distance of 367 miles, an automobile read is already construcs- cd, but is not completed some grad ing under way. On the Circle end, considerable work has also been done, but between Chantanika and Eagle Creek, it will all be new work, although there is a winter sledroad now in use.
 Second Project Big.
 The second big project conained in the program, connecting the Al aska Railroad to the Kuskokwim country and thence to Long Creek and Ruby, has an estimated length of 469 miles. The first link in this route is from the railroad to Cache Greek, active construction work nav ing been launched on it this season and will be pushed next season. On the Interior end of the route Ruby and Long Greek are connected; that portion between Ophir and Taeotaa has also been practically completed.

Just why the Democratic members of the Doughnut Brigade should be off t:,eir feed is a question that is worry ing the baker. His doughnut sales have decreased nightly during the past few days. Where they used to eat from three to six nice hot sinkers they now mutilate but one. The baker has a incaking idea that politics has some- thing to do with the loss of appetite and thinking so he has requested all the members to refrain from political argument while engaged in eating.
