G0TWALS NAMED
 REPLACE WAUGH ON COMMISSION

According to information received John c. Gotwals of the engineer corps of the regular army has been ap- pointed president of the Alaska board of road commissioners. with head quarters at Juneau. Major w. H. Waugh. the present president. will remain as member of the board, report to Colonel Gotwals. Captain John Zug. member of the board of Alaska road commissioners. has been directed to report at Fort Iiscum for discharge.
 This is the first change in the Alaska board of load commissioners due to the work of demobilization of the national army. The reserve of ticers of the national army are being discharged as fast as regular army officers can be secured to take their places. All Of them will be discharg- ed before July l next. Major Waugh and Lieutenant Sidney Carter, mem bers of the war department board of Alaska road builders. are officers in the national army, and will probably give way to regular army officers before that time.
 These changes do not mean that Alaska will lose these road builders Major Waugh is also highway engi- neer in the office of public roads, a branch of the department of agri- culture. which has charge of the ex- penditure of road moneys coming from the national forests and the cooperative road-building enterprises of the national government. This branch of the road-building work in Alaska has considerable fund at its disposal. and plans are already under way for the expenditure of some $22O,OOO on roads in the First and Third divisions of Alaska during the coming year.
 Captain John Zug and Lieutenant Carter were connected with the Al aska board of road commissioners before their appointment as reserve officers in the national army, in or der to qualify them for membership on the board. Captain Zug was 8 civilian civil engineer in the employ of the board. and Lieutenant Carter was chief clerk of the board. They will probably retain their old posi- tions.
 Major Waugh Is now in Washing ton on business in connection with Alaska road-building. and doubtless in consultation with Colonel Got walls.
 Colonel Gotwals comes to Alaska directly from the office of General Black, chief engineer officer of tho United States army. with offices in the war department at Washington.
