ROAD ENGINEER RETURNS
 FROM KUSKOKWIM REGION

Superintendent Hawley W. Sterl- ing, of the Alaska Road Commission, accompanied by Mrs. Sterling. re- turned to Nenana on the train from the south on Thursday. after an ab- sence of three months in the Kusko- kwim district. They boarded the train at Kobe station, to which point they travelled by dog team al the con- elusion Of an extensive reconnais- sance survey in the Kantishna and kuskokwim regions.
 Mir. Sterling left Nenana on Jan uary 9th last, for the purpose of conducting a reconnaissance survey with the object Of establishing a feasible route for a trail or road connecting the railroad with the kuskokwim country. @
 Berry's Landing, on the East Fork Of the Kuskokwirn, was the object i've, the route mapped leading over the newly established trail from Liz nite and by way of Glacier, on the Bearpaw river, Bartlett's camp, or Moose creek, and Telida, on the Mckinley Fork of the Kuskokwim river. The last mentioned place was reached after 9 strenuous trip over practically unknown country, the party having to break trail nearly all the way from Bartlett's. The return was made imperative because of shortage of supplies, lack of funds

While there is much that may happen between now and the first Of August .o prevent the absence from Washington Of President Hard ing, the fact that he is seriously considering a trip U Interior Alaska and has stated definitely that he will make the long journey if the termin- ation of the Congressional session will permit, is conclusive proof that MT. Harding is really interested in our Territory and ready 1o devote several weeks Of his valuable time to the study Of our problems. If he comes, the visit should result in the formulation of really constructive Alaska policy, based on first hand knowledge of conditions and ac- quaintance with the real people of the Northland-the men and women who have pioneered the way for that development which the Hard ing administration hopes to bring about by the adoption Of a liberal constructive policy.
 II will be big thing for Alas kans to be able to meet, and talk with the man, of all men, who can help them to put the Territory in its rightful place as an important part of our United States. l. will be big thing for the President to be able to go back to Washington with Q knowledge of Alaska and Alaskans which he could not acquire possibly at long range. through the agencies upon which other Presi- dents have had to depend for their Alaskan information and impres- sions. The visit will prove mutually helpful, for it will inspire confidence all around and materially shorten the distance which long has separat- ed Washington and Alaska.
 The plans Of the President, as outlined by Governor Bone, are the more gratifying to The News for the reason that they indicate de sire to delve deeply into t.e Alaska situation-Jo see all Of the Terri tory that is possible without spend ing an entire season away from the national capital. It is this evidence of thoroughness that convinces The News of the Presidents good in tentions, and encourages the belief that great good to the Territory

 On the way out to Telida from Lignite, shelter tents, with a good stove in each, were put up along the trail between Lignite and Gla- cier The first tent is IS miles out from Lignite, the second II miles beyond and the others, four in num- Der, are eight miles apart, the last being on the Bearpaw, within ten miles of the camp of the Mt Me Kinley Gold Placers, Inc, at Gla- cier. All of the tents put up are 9x9, except the one on the Toklat, which is 14x16. The distance from Lignite to Glacier is 67 miles,
 Speaking of 8 feasible winter mail route to the Kuskokwim from a point on the Alaska Railroad, as against the present route via Rainy Pass, Mir. Sterling said that he had never been over the Rainy Pass but from information gathered from various reliable sources, he thought that very much better route can be found to the kuskokwim either from Nenana. Lignite or Kobe sta ton through Diamond or Glacier, to a point l2 miles up from the mouth of Birca creek. and skirting Lake Minchumina to Telida. The divide is hardly noticeable, he says. The approximate distance from the rail road to McGrath, the principal town in the Kuskokwim region. Is 250 miles
 On the present reconnaissance, MT. Sterling says that he found the trail from Lignite to the Toklat bet ter than he had expected. The one objection to that route, in his opin- ion. is the divide between Crooked creek and the Bearpaw river, the last half mile on each side of the divide being very steep and permit ting of load of not more than 50 pounds per dog to be hauled, and with difficulty at that
 From Glacier the party swung in a southerly direction for Bartlett's, on Moose creek, to find the shortest possible route to Telida. on the Me Kinley Fork of the Kuskokwir, and thence 10 BerTy's Landing. on the East Fork. The approximate dis tance from Glacier to Telida is 95 miles. 4 trail was cut through 10 BaI1lett's, a distance of ten miles from Glacier, and the going was not so bad. but from there on to Telida trail had to be cut and broken all the way through. This route is i'm practical, Mir. Sterling says. by reason of the hilly nature of the country traversed The reconnais- sance map Of the Kuskollwim region by which he was largely guided, was found to be incorrect in several in stances. This map was compiled about 20 years ago by the Geologi- cal Survey which went through al that time. IL would be a great bene- fit to the country, Mir, Sterling says, if an accurate map were to be com piled and published.
 Both MT. and Mrs. Sterling en- joyed the trip in spite of the hard ships and inconvenience encounter ed, especially on the Moose Creek Telida trip, but they were both glad to get back to civilization. They re- turned to Fairbanks on the Sun day train. E.

Difference Appalling.
In spite Of these resem blances,
however, the difference between
the old Ku Klux Khan and the new
is appalling. One of the first
questions that presents itself is.
What is the necessity at the
present time for such an organi-
zation?"
The student of American his
tory-in view Of the abnormal po-
litical situation In the Southern
states during the Reconstruction
Period--can readily understand
how and why such an organiza-
ion should have come into exis-
tence. and its justification lies
solely IN the necessity of SONS
agency to cope with the social up
heavaI OF that time.
Public opinion in America to-
day. as reflected by the editorial
comments OF vast majority Of the
leading newspapers, is practically
unanimous in the view that there
is absolutely nothing IN cur pres
ent system Of government thai
would justify the existence of am
kind Of extra-legal Ku Klux or
ganizatIon. Every state in th'
Union has a constitution whicl
provides for the creation ant
maintenance Of Legislative. judi
| cial, and executive branches, an'
in every State these branches ar'
performing their regularly con
stituted functions. None OK then
is perfect. none of them ever viii
be. At the same time. the ma

DESTROYED or set aside unless the
same is done by white men, who,

hatred and prejudice. Where
then, is the necessity either in the
south or anywhere else in Amer
lea for this modern Ku Klux mon
strosity? From standpoint OF
necessity, neither the facts oi
history nor modern conditions Of
