ROGERS BEGINS HIS ALASKA
 SERIES; PROPOSES PLAN

road construction on a wholesale scale. "The construction of good roads is by far and wide the most cardinal necessity for the upbuilding of Alaskan prosperity and the de- velopment of it's agricultural and min- eral resources. Give Alaska every thing that her enthuiasts have pro- posed, but omit sweeping program of road construction, ard the Alaskan interior will be in about the same stage of retarded development 20 years hence as TOW. Waive everything else, if necessary, but give Alaska roads, good roads, lots Of roads, and it will come into it's own more sud l. denly than its own people ever Road Commission, declaring it to be dreamed possible"
 He. praised very highly the Alaska the one bureau in the Territory that is free from red tape. He also praised Col. James e. Steese and Col. J. c. Gotwals, as wonderfully efficient, rugged, red-tapeless men.
 Climate Not Rigorous
 Alaska, he writes, is divided into three empires, Southeastern, Interior and Northern. Arctic, or Northern Alaska, he said, has polar bears, wal russes and ice fields, but these are not found in the other two empires. "Southeastern Alaska" he continued, "has an Oregon-W Washington climate due to the Japanese Current, which has the same effect from Ketchikan to Cape Spencer as it has on Puget Sound" Juneau's climate, he said, is milder than that of Cleveland, o. Tourists are advised that they can buy "any article in Alaska at about the same price that they can in the most modern department or drug store in the average Central Western city. Hotel accommodations in Jul neau, Ketchigan, Seward, Anchorage and Fairbanks, he said, are as good and more reasonably priced than in any average city of 50,000 population in the United States.
 Cause for stagnation
 MT. Rogers said that the Terri tory's tremendous resources have sometimes been unintentionally exag- gerated and that Alaska is no Alad- din's Lamp. It's resources, he adds, will compare favorably with those of any state in the Union and that no single state can boast of as great a variety of material sources of wealth
 Acknowledgement of these, he said was occasioned by mistaken conser vation practices. which would permit of no rational development of the Ter ritory. He declined to comment or the -Ballinger row "and the 13 years ago." saying it would do nc good and added: "But I do want to say that am firmly convinced that majority Of those persecuted ln Alaska in 1909 had intentions thai were every bit as honorable toward the Territory as those who were con cerned in the persecution"
 He points to a changed condition at the present time which no longe ties up the timber, oil and coal re sources, and that there is no longe to be found any animosity toward cap ital for investment.
