 Confers With People

After month spent in Western Alaska on an inspection trip of roads and trails under his jurisdiction Col l J. C. Gotwals, President of the Al aska Road Commission, returned to Juneau this morning on the Ala l meda.
 Col. Gotwals was much impressed i by this, his first visit to Western l Alaska in particular with the beau tiful scenery along the government { trail and the railroad. He said to- ] day that every American should sec 1 the ranges of mountains that cul- i minate in Mount Wrangell and i Mount Mckinley. He said that those mountains were the most beau tiful pieces of scenery that he had ever seen.
 Leaving here just a month ago 1 h:s first stopping place was Cor dcva. He went over the Copper River Railroad to Chitina and found l the trail between that place and Gulkana in most excellent shape 1 He was accompanied on this inspec- tion trip by Dan Jones, who is in i charge of roads in that section At ] CCrdova he was entertained by the | Chamber of Commerce and had an orn"~tunity of meeting many of the people.
 At Valdez
 1 Coming back from Chitina to 1 Ccrdova he went to Valdez. He was unable to examine the road there 1 on account of the excessive snow fall but said that lrew of men is now working on the road. It is the intention of Colonel Gotwals to return to Valdez later when the snow is off and to determine wheth- CT the road will go through the Ian yon or over the hills This is the road to the interior of Alaska that was destroyed by glacier floods last summer. Go. Gotwals was also en- tertafned by the Valdez Commercial l Club.
 On Govt. Railroad
 From Valdez Col. Gotwals went to Anchorage and took the govern ment railroad to the end of steel. There he locke dover the plans for the new road from Talkeetna to Cache Creek. He visited Wassila Matanhska and Willow Creek
 At Willow Creek Col. Gotwals said that mining operations are look ing very favorable with indications that that district will be great producer.
 From Anchorage, where he was also entertained by the Chamber of Commerce, the trip was made to Seward over the government rail road. At that place he attended a reception given by the people oi the city for the Commission sent North to investigate the coal fields for the Navy After inspecting the | roads in the vicinity of Seward the l Colonel caught the Alameda at that port for Juneau.
