 A handful of proofs was showed to him and the presidential nominee read and corrected them. He re- mained in the office the greater part of his stay in Boone, and when he left with a copy of the paper he helped publish, remarked, "See you again, maybe"

COLONEL STEESE
 BACK FROM TRIP
 ID INLAND CAMP

Colonel J. G. Steese, chairman of the Alaska Road commission, and R. J. Sommers, member of the ter ritorial board of road commission CTS, returned to Nenana yesterday !afternoon from hurried trip to the Kantishna district, where they inspected the Roosevelt-M Moose road project and conferred with Kantish- na mining men relative to the selec- tion of a route for a permanent trunk rad connecting the district with the Government railroad. As Ia result of the trip, Colonel Steese has authorized the immediate con- mencement of work on the Roosevelt road, which is greatly in need of attention, and is now arranging for Ia reconnaissance with view to the commencement of work on a trunk road connecting with the railroad.
 The road officials made the trip into the Kantishna on the Suther- land launch Siwash, and although absent from Nenana only eight days, penetrated to the heart of the min ing region, which necessitated trip on foot over the swampy Roosevelt road, a distance of 30 miles from the river. A considerable stretch of the road is at present almost impossible. They visited a number of the mining properties, including the rich Aitken mine, and were very favorably impressed by what they saw. Colonel Steese is convinced that the district is rich in minerals and that its development will be very materially aided by improved transportation facilities.
 Hawley Sterling, who is at pres ent engaged in station work on the Government railroad, has been en- gagged by Colonel Steese to inves~ tigate several suggested routes into the Kantishna from the railroad and to report his findings and conclu- sions to the board at his earliest convenience, after which the chair man, and possibly Colonel Gotwals, will return to the Interior for the purpose of going over the ground before the selection of the route is finally approved. And should suf- ficient funds be made available by Congress during the winter, a sub- stantial allotment will be made for the Kantishna project and work will be started early next season.
 The road officials went out the line as far as the end of steel today and it is possible that Colonel Steese will return to the coast by way of Broad Pass, in company with Col onel Mears, who is now enroute from Anchorage.
