 May r. The delays and stupidity of the ordnance dent surpass belief The puartermaster's dept is better but bad. The commissary dept is good. There is no management whatever in the war department Against good nation we should be helpless.

STEESE FIGHTING FOR
 ROAD APPROPRIATION

Owing to the drastic cut made by the house appropriation committee in the Alaska road commission ap- propriation, for the next fiscal year. Col. James G. Steese, president of the commission, who has been in Washington since last November, will delay his return to Alaska until the end of the present session, accord. ing to advices received at commits sion headquarters in Juneau. Col. Steese is confident that the senate will deal more literally with the commission estimates than the house committee.
 Col. Steese expected the report of the committee recommending $350,- 900 for the commission next season would be adopted by the house. When the measure goes to the senate com mittee the real fight to have the original amount, $955,0OO, restored to the bill, will begin. The reduction made by the house committee, it was stated, was not the result of criticism of. the estimates of the con- mission, but was due to the "econo- my drive" being carried on which is cutting down amounts of appropria- tions for every purpose.
 Col. Steese had expected to be able to leave Washington by February 20, and arrive in Alaska about March l. It will now probably be the latter part of March before he returns here.
