 in Alaska is concerned, the automo- pue IS the means, not by the old way 1 of pack horse as this latter now costs to much for upkeep. With this in view, I am advocating and will prepare plans and estimates for a national highway system of roads in Alaska. These roads, especially in the region traversed by the government railroad, will be feeders for the government railroad and furnish tonnage. In oth- CT sections this system of highways wlll open new districts and also con- meet with roads already constructed This statement was made today by ! Col. John C. Gotwals, head of the Alaska Road Commission in Alaska, who arrived in Seward last night from the interior, accompanied by Major w. H. Waugh and Antone Eide. Col. Gotwals will leave on the Alameda for Juneau, his headquarters, then re- turn and go to the Fairbanks district, ] returning to Seward over the govern ment railroad. Col. Gotwals will then go to Skagway, and down the Yukon 60 Nome. The only district the Colonel { will not be able to visit this year will be the Kuskokwim region but this will be inspected next year.
 Col. Gotwals has been on an in- specton trip to the Cache Creek dis trict where much road work will be done this season.
 In speaking of the work to be done on Kenai peninsula this year, Col. Gotwals said: "The Moose Pass road, from Mile %, will be extended to- wards the Russian river, the amount to be expended being $60,00O. When completed this road will extend to Kenai and by right angle feeder for the government railroad. The Seward Kenai Lake road will be extended, the sum of S14,000 being spent on this 1 work. The Alaska Road commission will do no work on Kenai Peninsula this summer, this work however will 1 be in charge of the forestry depart 1 ment as the sum being spent has been derived from forestry funds. The Alaska Road Commission will spend it's fund on the maintenance of the present roads on the Peninsula.
 "The important work of the Road Commission in this section this sea- son will be in the Cache Creek district where s50,OO0 will be spent in putting roads that will tap the various min ing properties"
 In discussing highways for Alas ka. Col. Gotwals is enthusiastic. Re- garding automobiles, Col. Gotwals said that he learned, while in France that for small tonnage, the auto truck was the thing.
 "One hundred miles can be made by a truck train," said Col. Gotwals, in a day. The trucks can handle the ! small tonnage where railroad trans psrtation would be at loss. Take for instance the proposed system of roads that will be feeders for the govern ment railroad. Trucks can haul the ore and produce to the railroad in quick time and cheaper than by any other way. The upkeep of horses IS now to much as they are idle in the inter months and they eat their heads off. The small mining operator with a truck, can get his ore to the railroad and thus furnish tonnage. It would be impracticab'e for railroads to be built to all sections, but the auto truck, over system of highways

Democratic Political Boss OF
Illinois is Mourned by
ALI Glasses of
People.
PLAYED GAME SQUARE
Financier and Leader of Men Rose
from Farm Hand to be One of
Powe rfui Men of His
Time.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
CHICAGO, April 15.-Millionaires,
policemen, ward heelers. widows,
bankers and statesmen Joined today
in expressions of sympathy over the
death Of Roger c. Sullivan, financier
and politician, who rose from farm
hand to political boss Of his state.
Sullivan died late yesterday as
result of sudden attack OF heart
failure, superinduced by bronchial
pneumonia. He had been in failing
health for several months. Funeral
services will be held Saturday.
With the death of Sullivan, Illinois
democratic politics today was lead
,serless. Split into factions, Sullivan
led the state party successfully His
political enemies included Carter
Harrison, former Governor Edward
F. Dunno and former United States
Senator j. Ham Lewis. He had in.
tended, it was said today, to put
Dunno and Harrison in the delega-
ton to the democratic national oQIi-
yention at San Francisco.
''The boss is dead" was the mes
sage flashed through Chicagos great
west side last night. There was gen.
eral mourning throughout, for it was
by the Irish and foreign elements in
that part of the city that Sullivan
was loved best. Old women and
men who grew up with the demo
cratic boss told today Of his favcrs.
"He never forgot" said an ola sup
porter. Roger played the game
square. You could always count on
him If you were his friend he was
yours ....-.-.
Sullivan, SO, was born at Belvidere,
Ill, and as a child worked as farm.
hand for So a month. He~came to
Chicago, worked in railway shop
and got into politics. Gradually he
got into business on big scale. 1t
is estimated he was worth S10,00O,-
600.
To Sullivan, perhaps more than to
aynone else, Woodrow Wilson owes
the fact that he is president of the
United States, said Sullivan's friends
today. e.. .
1t was at the Baltimore convention
in 1912 Champ Clark had the Hill

trolled the delegation. After several
ballots had been taken, sullivan de- !
