ROAD COMMISSION WILL PUT
 SHORTCUT TRAIL IN SHAPE

Superintendent Hawley W. Sterl- ing, of the Alaska Road Commission, who arrived in town last night from a business trip to Juneau where he conferred with Colonel Steese and Major Gotwals regarding the winter work to be done on the roads and trails in Interior Alaska, told a representative of The News that sufficient sum of money had been allotted to be spent this winter. to put the trail from Nenana to the Knight roadhouse, on the Toklat. in good shape for travel. This will include putting up two substantial shelter tents at a point half way along this trail, the exact spot to be selected by him later on. The work will be taken in hand immed- lately after the Christmas holidays.
 In addition to this work, the Com mlsslon Will build bridge across Piledriver slough, nthe Fairbanks Valdez trail. The bridge will consist Of two 9O-foot spans, the material for which is already at Fairbanks. 4 trail also will be blazed into the Valdez Creek mining district from Carlson's roadhouse, Mile 32O. on the Government railroad.
 The Alaska Road Commission is rather short of funds to undertake winter work on an extensive scale, due to the fact that considerable equipment, in the way of tractors. trucks, steam shovel and dragline excavators were recently acquired, at a considerable cost, for road work druing the open seasons.
 MT. Sterling expects to leave for his headquarters in Fairbanks on Friday and will then organize the necessary forces and undertake the preliminaries in connection with the work outlined.

His breezy style, familiarity with railroad construction and high regard for accuracy are already well known locally, for he was with The News for considerable period on a previous occasion.

MARQUAM BACK FROM EAST
 TO RESUME LEGAL PRACTICE

Thomas A. Marquam, Republican divisional committeeman, accompan- jed by Mrs. Marquam, arrived in Nenana last night from an extensive tour of the States. They are en- route to their home in Fairbanks, where Mir. Marquam has a number of casees awaiting his attention be- fore the district court.
 Business called Mir. Marquam to Washington, D. C., where a con- siderable portion of his time was spent. From the capital he paid visits to New York and others of the big cities of the East, toured a large portion of the Southern States, passing through the Texas oilfelds, and coming North by way of Los Angeles and the Pacific Coast cities of prominence.
 While nthe East, Mir Marquam met Captain Street and the other members of the famous Black Wolf squadron who made the New York to-Nome-and-return flight in deHavi- land bombing planes. Through the good offices of Captain Street, MT. Marquam was twice taken on air plane flights over the capital, and he took several fine photographs from high altitude.
 In the course of his travels MT. Marquam met a great many former Alaskans, the majority of whom ex- pressed a desire to return to the Northland. and many of them, in the opinion of the Fairbanks at torney, undoubtedly will do so.
 Speaking of general conditions obtaining in the States, as regards working conditions and living costs, Mr. Marquam said indications ap- peared to point to a return to nor malcy, but rather slowly. Reduc- tions in the price of necessities are not keeping pace with wage reduc- tions and are, therefore working a hardship on the people generally. A certain amount of unrest and very considerable unemployment are met with all over the States and 2 large percentage of those out of work are ex-service men. Condi- tions are worse in the East than on the Pacific Coast. And Of the cities visited on the coast, Mir. Marquam found Los Angeles the most prosper ous, with no sign of hard times. San Francisco is just about holding its own, Portland is fairly prosper ous and Seattle appears to have been the hardest hit by the read justment.
 MT. Marquam says that Portland has begun to advertise plans for a world fair in 1925 and the an- nouncement is causing lot of comment in the East, where people express the belief that the Western city Is crazy to talk of such thing at this time. The optimism of Port land is more than they can under stand
 MT and Mrs. Marquam will leave for Fairbanks tomorrow.

He missed the ditch by a hairs breath, caught his own with gasp, returned to the mid dle of the broad highway and fixed his attention on certain very definite matter with which it had been more or less constantly concerned ever since he had been directed to hit it up for Greenwood.
 The road to that well-known hostel ry was usefully devious and fares were seldom worried as to how any particular driver set out to find this choicest of needles in the hay-stack of the country inns that dot the land scape of Westchester and adjacent counties as long as he brought the search to successful end somewhere this side of the bangs of hunger.
 Nevertheless, had not Mir Fremont himself a motorist of no mean eXperi- ence, been completely absorbed by the sudden discovery that he had his right arm around an entirely new world, he would have been struck in- evitably by two things First, that this was certainly not any one of the climbing roads to the Greenwood hos telry; second, that the man at the wheel knew more about losing his way in the vicinity of Manhattan and find ing it again than did the combined roadmaps of the United States and haI I allies at the time However, Mir.
