COL. STEESE DISCUSSES ROAD COMMISSION ACTIVITIES AT
 MEETING SUNDAY
tContinucd from Page One

June and again in August. but nc reasonable bids were received The lowest bid received was s3 per yard for pumping about six to eigh. thous- and wards of sand from the entrance Ia the basin When one considers the values recovered from dredged ground around Nome the absurdity of this bid is manifest. even allowing for the small yardage involved However, were the price considered reasonable. there is insufficient money available to accomplish at thatp rice the minimum amount at yardage necessary to open the en- to do anything further. The dredg- ing will be readvertised next spring or else the Government will transfer barge and pump and do the work on force account. Announcement of plans will be made in due course.
 The Territorial Legislature" Col. Steese continued. appropriated money to purchase the Seward Pen insula Railway, providing the Terri torial Board and the Alaska Road Commission should jointly so recom- mend; and, provided further. that the Alaska Road Commission would agree to make an examination and report upon the property, and would agree to rehabilitate if if purcha sed and to operate it as public tram or highway under regulations to be prescribed by the Alaska Road Com mission The Commission has agreed to the conditions imposed by the legislature and is making the re- port at it's own expense. If pur- chased, the road will be fixed up and continued in public use as a pupmo- bile line. '
 Colonel Steese stated d-"that Con sress has directed that full report be submitted upon the transporta- fion situation in the Seward Penin- sula with an estimate Of cost of system of communications tying in Davidson's Landing. Taylor. Deering, and Candle to Nome: and also giving access to the coal fields in the Kug- ruk river district. These points are now connected by winter trail sys- tem, but needs tramways or roads for summer service. This report is now being prepared. It will of course, then be up to Congress to appropri- ate the necessary money if the report is approved.
 The Alaska Road Commission"

needs are such that one might as well attempt to bale out Bering Sea with mukluk as meet every demand with our present small appropriation. The getting of larger appropria- tions. so largely depends upon re. suits obtained that the real progress
 we are making is worthy of fav- orabIe advertisement in Washington.
 Criticism of our employees will always be investigated and a contin- ued efforts made to obtain the best men available for the local execution of our work.
 That We are as careful with the expenditure of government funds en- trusted to us is not fault My friend Leonard Seppala remarked one day on the trail when I stopped the dogs and invited them to eat all the snow they wanted you wouldn't do that if it were government snow <" think I would. Anyway our ap- OHeC ihduc diC uACus tA0 funds are then Alaska's and the mak- ing them go as far as possible to make transportation easier for you is the highest duty to you.
 The road Commission has no other reas for being here than to relieve with it's small appropriation the road and trail situation of Alaska. In doing this the broad and compre- hensive knowledge Of the Territory now possessed with the hope of in- creased appropriations should afford Alaskans substantial future relief.
 Surveyor General Theile. personal of Governor Bone, spoke briefly. outlining his views on the development needs of the terri tory generally and said the new gov ernor is prepared to do everything possible to assist the territory and has the full backing of the admin istration :a the furtherence of his policies anu efforts

have to explain the deficiencies of Congress to the Alaskans and then go to Washington and explain the de liciences Of the Alaskans to Congress Tn 1916." he continued, The Post
 Aid Road Law was passed. appro- priating money for the first time for road construction in the States and it's provisions were extended to Alas ka so far as the national forests are concerned. but only upon condition that Alaska should contribute a SUD- elementary amount of cooperative furds Alaska had no cooperative road law and did not get around to passing one until the spring of 1919 In the meantime the Federal money merely piled up in the hands of the Secretary of Agriculture. During the next two years Territorial money was turned over to the Agriculture Department in the ratio of about $t from the Territory to $2.50 from the Department of Agriculture. and the accumulated funds have been used up on Forestry projects. or really up- on former Alaska Road Commission projects which were turned over to use up the funds. The work is per formed by the Bureau of Uublic Roads. Alaska Road Commission funds thus released are diverted to other parts of the Territory
 "For the current season. $35,O0O of Territorial Funds and SS5.0OO.0O of Forestry Funds were expended upon eight projects in the Tongass and Chugach National Forests in the lst and 3rd divisions. This money is available only if the Territory meets the conditions of the Federal Government. These projects aggre- gate about 100 miles of wagon roads.
 The same law authorized coopera- tion with the Alaska Road Commits sion and about S1O0. .O00. .O0 of Terri torial money was turned over to the Alaska Road Commission to be ex- pended upon cooperative projects designated by the Territorial Board For the current season the Alaska Road Commission has had to expend about $5500O.O0 of Territorial funds.
 During those same two years. the remaining Territorial funds were ex- pended under the supervision of Di- visional chairmen elected by the people. except that in the 2nd divi- sion the divisional chairman was re- lieved from duty his second year and all the money applied to cooperative projects. This same Territorial law prescribes that after March 1921. the divisional chairman should be ap- pointed by the Territorial Board. As the funds appropriated by the leg

the speaker said, 'has been expend- [ ing federal funds for road and trail work in Alaska since 1905 or for l [ seasons. The work was originally started for military purposes but has long ago lost most of its military significance Much development has both preceded and followed this road and trail construction. which devel- opment has itself given rise to ad .
 litional demands for transportation
 relief. The funds provided by Con
 g'ress, though liberal upon per capita basis, have been entirely in adequate to cover the vast Territory involved. For instance. this year S appropriation was S425,O0U.0O or about S15 for every white man. wo- man and child in the Territory. In the States the appropriations since
 1a16.- the first year any money was provided by Congress. have averaged about s40.OO0. .oO0.0O or about 4Oc per head.
 However. perusal of our reports for the past two years will show that We have recommended the immediate construction of about S10.O0O. .Oo5O0 worth of road and trail work in the Territory at the rate of at least t4- half million dollars a year avail- able. it will be many years before We can make serious dent in the work recommended And the work we have recommended is only part of the work that is desired In the Payne committee report of last year" Col. Steese said. some S3O,0OO.O 900 worth of work was recommended
 He is a hopeful man indeed who counts upon Congress authorizing any such amount. If We can get a million dollars a year. we will be mighty lucky. and so will the people Of Alaska. However. it is no part O. the duty of this Board to get money from Congress; that is the function of the Governor and the Delegate. We are the agents of Congress and it is our duty to carry out it's wishes and see that the money provided is expended according to law. If no money is provided that lets us out. However. we would not be wasting our time up here unless we believed in the future of the country and were anxious to do our little part in direct ing the activities of the federal gov ernment into what we believe to be desirable channels We therefore give Congress the best technical ad- vice we can There is wide gulf between what the people think they ought to have and what there is any reasonable expectation of their get ting.

 50 fas as the Second Division is concerned. the s30.O0O of Territorial
 funds available would have produced about s1O.000 for overhead and $20.- 900 worth of hand work if handled
 by separate organization Fur thermore. the Alaska Road Commis- sion did not secure it's appropria- tion till June 3Oth. too late to ship in supplies. and make preliminary arrangements for the short seasons work. Without the cooperative agreement of last spring, therefore. the Alaska Road Commission would have been forced to close up it's Nome office and would have done little or no work this year. As it is, about $9O.000 worth of work has been ac- complished during the season. and not penny of the $3O.000 of Terri torial money has gone into overhead. office or travelling expenses. or plant. These services have all been furnish
 ed the Territory free of charge
 "The Alaska Road Commission. Col. Steese explained. "has no con- cern with the theoretical political rights involved. It's only concern is the building of as many and as good roads and trails as the available funds will permit. It's organizati tion is at the service of the Territory only so long as desired and the results justify it. The local elected com missioners have no function under the law but that of making recom- mendations to the Territorial Board This they have been given every op- portunity to do The Alaska Road Commission is doing this work at the request of the Territorial Board, as authorized by the Legislature, and is doing only such work as the Ter ritOrial Board prescribes.
 "The main difficulty" he said, "is not about where to build roads and trails nor how to build them. but is entirely question of funds. We know exactly where to build ten million dollars worth of roads and trails and have so reported to Con. gress. and we have the best road and trail men on our pay roll that there are in the Territory Efforts should therefor be concentrated upon getting more money. Furthermore. Congress does not appropriate money for spe- cific projects as they do for rivers and harbors. Congress has wisely realized the impossibility of handling road and trail work from Washing
