the question is speedily convincing that the result of such installation would be an immense and immediate development of the district and partic- ularly of many sections heretofore un productive for the one and only reason of inaccessiMlity due to the absence of roads and trails.
 Of the proposed Nome -Kougarok- Candle post and military trunk line road, the first 8H miles have been con- structed from Nome to Dexter Creek. and has served the section through which 1t runs with results that are lit tie short of marvellous. The produc- tion of the district 1t serves has been practically without a parallel in the history of placer development and pro- duction. The continuance of this road along the divide between Nome and Snake rivers for distance of about fifty miles would insure practic- ally the same results in the adjacent areas as have occurred along the initial BE- mibas of road with it's laterals and feeders. In addition to covering an

the establishment of the proposed road would enable their cheap disposal in the Nome markets. The area is cap- able of providing practically all the vegetables required by the district and the transportation of the Hot Springs products alone would provide q ton mage of great value over the proposed trunk road. The sale of the domestic vegetable products in the Nome mar ket would also result in a considerable saving in living costs. Agmculturists assert that the district can be made to yield not only the vegetable require ments of the Peninsula but also a sur
 plus which could be shipped to Seattle, thereby not only beneftting the dis trict but also providing an increase in the export tonnage of considerable value to the steamship transporta tion companies. In addition to facilitat- ing the development of the Hot Springs district the road would also enable the opening of valuable mineral de- posits known to exist in the adjacen.

Steamship inter-course is It present Emitted tu five or six small coastins vessels during the open sea son. Candle receives no moro than ,' dozen or fifteen mails during the year. During eight and t half months of the year the district IS practically cut off from all physical communication with the world.
 It requires little reflection to deter mine that an increase in transporta- ton facilities is certain to result in a wide increase in industrial activity and added prosperity and population. Because of it's phieal situation the suggested improvement in com mnications can be affected in no other manner than by the opening of a highway to the lower reaches of the peninsula. The establishment of the trunk line road suggested would en- able the Candle section to maintain constant intercourse with Nome for at least five months of the year by means of auto trucks or teams and would entirely relieve the community of the travel by it's only present means of

The establishment of road communication would serve the purposes of protec- ton far more adequately than a large naval force through enabling the movement of troops from one section to another with promptitude and piac- ttcal freedom from attack by sea- In view of the fact that during tine larg-
 est part of the year we are completely isolated and at the mercy of an enemy or the clements Is an added reason for the establishment of trunk line roads connecting with the Alaska Railroad
