BISHOP ROWE RETURNING
 TO SEATTLE ON ALAMEDA

Bishop P. T. Rowe, of the Episcopal Church, was a through passenger n the Alameda and visited with loc~l friends while the ship was in port. He is returning from an inspection uf all the missions under his charge = the interior, which has taken him the past four months over many miles of territory.
 Leaving Cordova shortly after Easter, the Bishop went to Nenana via Seward and Anchorage. At Nenana, with the aid of natives, he built boat and barge and after loading the game with supplies, drifted down the Talana river and went up the Koyukuk river for a distance of five hundred mi'@s to St. Johns mission where the barge was unloaded. On the return trip to Nenana, the Bishop picked up tie three half breed children of Jim Hun tington, a we'll known trader in he interior, whose wife, stricken with heart trouble, died recently, and took them to the mission school at Anvik a distance of six hundred miles. The only companions of Mrs. Huntington at the time of her death were her three small children, her husband being away.
 Before putting the boat and barge away for the winter at Nenana, the bishop hauled enough logs to build the church and dormtory at Nenana. and also made Nans to build g larger barge for next yaar's work.
 Accompanying Bishop Rowe on the Alameda are two stalwart native ycuhs Johnny Fred. a young man of twcnty-one, is being sent to the Sewanae University in Tennessee, where he will prepare himself to be doctor, and will also deliver an ad dress on Alaska at the General Con- vention of the Episcopal Church which  is to be held in Portland on Septcm- Der 6. This is the lad who, when he was but eleven years old, kept camp for six weeks at the foot of Mt. Mo Kinley, while Archdeacon Stuck and party climbed the mountain. The other lad with the Bishop is but eighteen and is being sent to the Mt Herman school in Massachusetts where he will prepare himself for the ministry.
 After attending St. Andrews Broth erhood Convention which is to be held in Seattle on the 30th of this month, and the General Convention, which is to be held at Portland commencing September 6, the Bishop will be at

SHOULD BACK FUND NEED . FOR HIGHWAY

Returning last Saturday from a trip over the Richardson Highway firm Valdez to Chitina, and from Chitina to Fairbanks and back to Cordo"a, James Galen is enthusiastic over the beauties of the interior route, and the wisdom of steps to be taken for it's maintenance. MT. Galen went north with General Manager Knickerbocker, of the Alaska s. s. Company, Mrs. Knickerbocker and daughter and Gen. ,aral Freight and Passenger Agent F. Fl. Bunch and Mrs Bunch. Return ing, Mr. Galen was accompanied Dy MT. and Mrs F. A. Miller and son F. Wendell Miller, of Rockwell City, Ia.
 While the road cannot be said to be a finished automobile highway" salh MT, Galen in an interview today, "belng quite rough and in bad repair for d & tance of fifty miles between Sour dough and Paxsons, yet it is won derful trip for tourists desirous of zee ing the interior of Alaska. Both par
 ties whom I conducted were enthus- iastic over the unique scenic beauties .aathe route. Even with the very light travel over the trail this season, du" principally to lack of advertisement partly to uncertainty Of road condl- tions. the roadhouses are equipped very comfortably, are clean, provide ex- cellent food-in fact are in every way much better than might be expected. While, as I have said, the highway 's not finished, the Alaska Road Con- mission has many crews at work along the route, fast repairing the bad places. Given sufficient funds, they will have a good road ready by next season, and a finished highway by 1924 When it is remembered that the Richardson Highway was begun long before the advent of either of the Alaska Rail- ways. that it traverses a vast wilder ness through mountains, swamps and dense timber, it is really surprisi- 2 } that so much has been accomplished.
 But there is one point which I find the people of the interior not thorough lv alive to, and one that we here in Cordova must recognize promptly. That is that right now the future of the Richardson Highway is facing a very crucial period. The Alaska Road
The Cordova daily times., 1922-08-22

Commission will require liberal ap- propriations to finish this road which has been so intelligently and well be- gun. In the face of the funds whi will also be required by the Govern ment Railroad, and the policy of re- trenchment which is being followed by Congress, these appropriations are not going to be secured without some con siderable united effort. Should the appropriation for the Alaska Road Commission be curtailed during the next couple of years, the result would be a great setback in the completion of this work and might even result in the loss of the road. Conditions were never better or more favorable for 'he accomplishment of good road work than now, and good work is being done under the able direction of Col onel Gotwals, of the commission It is up to the residents of Cordova. Val dez, Fairbanks, Chitina-all th7 peo- ple of this section of Alaska, to unite and do everything possible toward hay ing at least adequate, if not liberal, ap- rropriations made during the next few years. It is my judgment that the Richardson Highway is destined to be the most important feeder for the Alaska Railroad. Therefore, we should have the help of the Alaska Engineer ing Commission, as well as the rao- ard. The highway will be highly i'm portant to the steamship companies, the Copper River Railway, as well as the Government Railway, in bringing through the country a large tourist travel which is beneficial to the whole country, through not only the morcy actually spent in the Territory, but the advertising given it and the de- velopment that will be promoted for our vast mineral and oil resources. The steamship companies and rail ways can help enormously right now by intelligent and conservative adver- Using, I believe, without disappoint- ment to a single tourist. The road is wonderfully laid out from :. scenic point of view as we'll as from that Of road material to become eventually a real automobile highway. The short interior trip from Valdez to Chitina would be a most attractive short one for tourists. This is run of l30 miles through grand mountain, lake and 5la- cier scenery all the way. The road is through good ground - hard and easy to maintain after it is once well finished. This short trip in connection with that over the Copper River & Northwestern Railway by speeder or open observation car, could not he surpassed anywhere in Alaska or else where for magnificent scenery"

WARNING

Blasting is now in progress on the line of the road being constructed along the shore of Eyak Lake. The contractors will take every precau- tion to warn the public when blast is about to be fired. Red flags will be displayed on each side of the blast in as conspicuous places as possible. The general public is asked to cooper ate for the safety of all concerned by keeping a lookout for these danger signals and by keeping considerable distance from that shore of the lake when boating.
