ALASKA IS MADE SEPARATE RIVERS, HARB0RS DISTRICT
Territory Removed from Jur- isdiction of Seattle by
 War Department.

An order just issued by the War
 Department creates a separate @
 Rivers and Harbors District for
 Alaska and names as District En- gineer Col. James G. Steese with Capt. C. S. Ward as district dis
 bursing officer, according to tele- graphic advices received by Capt. Ward this morning. JuneSu will
 be headquarters for the new dis trict, the order becoming effective on April l, next.
 The creation of an Alaska Riv- CTS and Harbors District means that all the improvements on rivers and harbors in the Territory will be handled by officials in the Territory who are on the ground all the time and not referred to the Seattle dis trict as has been the case for the past II or 12 years" said Capt. Ward today Tt means also that any question pertaining to naviga- tion in Alaska waters, including navigable inland waters, will be in the jurisdiction of the Alaska dis trict and hearings on such matters will be held in Alaska. For instance, the question as to whether or not fish traps furnish menace to which has been con sidered in the past in hearings in Seattle, should it arise in the fu Lo nI trict Engineer in charge of the Alaska District" said Capt. Ward.
 Capt. Ward said as far as he knew there is at this time but three Rivers and Iarbors projects in AL aska The Nome harbor and break water project is an active one which is included in current estimates; the Apoon mouth of the Yukon River in inactive but carries cer tain estimates annually for main tenance; the third one. Wrangell Narrows, is in the inceptive stage. A survey has been made there by Col. Schulz, Seattle District En- gineer who has submitted a report recommendations which are unknown here. Any future work resulting from that report will be in charge of Col. Steese.
 Alaska at one time and up until 1909 was d separate district, but in that year was attached to the Seattle district where it has re- mained until the present On April 1, it again becomes a district and will be in the Northern Pacific Di- vision under the jurisdiction of Col. James B. CaVanaugh.
 The appointment of Col. Steese as District Engineer and Capt. Ward as Disbursing officer for the Dis .rict does not alter their present status on the Alaska Road Commis- sion Col SteeGe will remain as President and Capt. Ward. Disburs- ng Officer, for the Commission.
