 rive on Next Two Boats.

Fifty more laborers are wanted al once by the Alaska Engineering Commission for work north of An. chorage. according to telegraphic ad. cises received today by Governor Thomas Riggs.

GASOLINE FROM
 KATALLA FIELD ' OF BEST GRADE
A. R. C. Using Alaska Prod ucts-Best Quality Obtain
 able for Many Years.

That Alaska gasoline and distil late now being used by the Alaska Road Commission is superior to sim liar products imported from the States for several years, is the state ment made today by Col. J, C. Got walls. engineer officer of the com mission, who returned early this morning on the Admiral Watson from a short visit to the Westward We are using Katalla gasoline and distillate in our motors and it is the best we have had in years,'' said Col Gotwals, adding, "it is very similar to the old high grade product for merly obtainable in Pennsylvania.
 Colonel Gotwals went in by the way of Cordova and Chitina leaving Juneau on the last Northwestern The commissions supplies were car ried to Cordova and Valdez on the same steamer and it is now well stocked for launching the seasons s work
 All the crews of the commission between Chitina and Richardson are on the ground. said Colonel Gotwals. There is also crew at work be tween Willow Creek and Thompson Pass On the Valdez end there are 100 men employed. A drag line ex scayator has been installed near Sour dough, north of Gulkana, and is prov ing very satisfactory, he said. North of Richardson a steam shovel, now at Whitehor.e, will be installed. The six Holt tractors working out of Chitina' and two at Valdez have proven very successful for road work and will be of material benefit to the commission in carrying out it's seasons program.
 The new section of the Richard son highway. replacing the old Key stone Canyon part of the route, is practically completed, said Colonel Gotwals. This is built along the high line and is one of the most in teresting bits of road work ever car ried out by the commission. The route from Willow Creek to Valdez will be open by July 15. The bridge across Sheep Creek. span or To feet. will be completed about the middle of this month and that across Bear Creek, a 150-foot span will be in place and ready for traf fife by July 1. This will put the route in readiness for vehicular tra vel, but snow conditions on Thomp son Pass will probably shut off trai riff until July 15.
 Colonel GotwSls expects to be in the local commission offices for sev eral days before leaving for a long trip in the Interior.

 Live m Australia

James Neill, an Alaskan pio neer, for the past four years employed at the Perseverance mine, is in the city awaiting a boat to take him to the south on the first lap of a long jour ney back to his old home in Australia
 Mir Neill was at Circle City when the Klondike was struck and was with the first stam- peders to go to the new camp. He had been in the Cassiar country previous to that time. He made two trips back to Aus tralia while mining near Daw- son, the last trip being made sixteen years ago. He expects to live there in the future.
 He has made several stakes in the north and says that he like the country fine but as he is 80 years of age feels that he should settle down.
 Quite naturally he is staying at the Zynda Hotel while in the city as he wintered at Circle City with Lockie Me Kinnon, proprietor of that hotel, before the Klondike was struck

state would then initiate all construc-

Kansas Share Federal Road
Aid Is $S,OOO,OOO Yearly.
But Amendment to Constitution
Required to Get 1t.
ROAD BILL NOW IN CONGRESS-
Government to Pay Half of Con-
struetiOn Costs, Provision.
Under State Law Kansas Can
Accept Only % Per Cent.

A new amendment to the state con-
stitution will be necessary if Kansas
is to receive approximately $4,000 900
annually under the new federal aid
road bill now pending in congress. This
is the statement OF NJ. W. Watson,
state highway engineer, who has just
received information from Washington
that a compromise between the
Phipps-DoweH and Townsend bills
probably will be passed at this session
of congress.
The present state aid" law, enacted
by the 1921 legislature, provides for
aid not to exceed $10,0 900 a mile or 25
per cent of the total cost of the road.
This is the maximum that can be
granted under the good roads amend
ment to the state constitution adopted
last fall.
Compromise Bill Considered.
The compromise bill as now drafted
provides that the national governm ent
will pay so per cent of the cost of
construction if the state pays the other
so per cent and agrees to maintain the
roads. The compromise bill main
tains the feature of the Townsend bill
providing for creation of a national
highway commission which would
have supervision over allotment of
FEDERAL AID, IN co-operdtlon with the
state commissions.
The road bill now before congress
also provides that the various state
commissions shall designate per cent
of the roads of the state as state roads
which would be eligible to receive the
combined state and federal aid. Kan
sas now has approximately $500
miles of state roads. Engineer Wat
son estimates the total would be in
creas ed to 1900 miles under the pro-
posed federal law.
