 For Aldsku Roads

SEATTLE, Dec 23.-In final efforts to obtain what are regarded as imper- atively necessary funds for the build ing of roads and trails in Alaska the coming year, Col. Steese, chairman of the Alaska Road Commission, ap- peared before the, House Committees en Appropriations today to present facts in connection with the subject, says dispatch to the Seattle Timea1 from it's Washington correspondent. The Road Commission Is asking for $1, 800 900 for it's work in Alaska, but there is every indication that Congress-, will grant no more than the S465, 900 allowed by the Budget Bureau. This is the same amount as that appropri- ated last year and is sufficient only for the maintenance of present roads. It will not permit of the construction of certain roads which have been pro- posed as feeders to the new railroad. At the same time, the correspondent points out, the Forestry Service is un- hampered in It's road-building by any lack of funds. On the contrary, It. is in fact being granted amounts greatly in excess of those given to the Road Commission. R

GROWTH OF SEA SCOUTING.

Sea scouting as an older boy activ-
ity is taking strong hold of the Boy
Scouts Of America. From December
], 1920, to July Is, 1921, there has
been an increase of 80 per cent in the
number of sea-scOut troops organ
tied. Sea scouting remains undevel-
oped In only one of the twelve dis
tricts in which the country is divided
for scouting purposes-the Texas
New Mexico division, which is natur-
ally less suited than the other local
tiles for aquatic work and play.
The summer national sea-scout
camp at Marion, Mass, was a great
success, the boys getting in some real
seafaring experience, cruising around
Buzzards bay and incidentally visit
ing many points of historic and pic
turesque interest along the beautiful
shores of the bay.
This camp was an especially inter
esting one in that it was run by the
scouts themselves, boys having
reached the highest rank in scouting
being the camp leaders, acting as
junior officers, bosn's, bosn's mates,
coxswains, etc.
