Upon arrival at Juneau recently, after his trip to the Interior, Major General Charles G. Morton, com manding officer of the Ninth Corps area, made definite announcement regarding plans for the disposition of federal soldiers in Alaska. The men are to be stationed at Fort William H. Seward and Anchorage and these will be the only two posts in the Territory. For the present, however quarters at Anchorage are insufi- cient to accommodate an increased personnel and troops transferred from Gibbon and St. Michael are being cared for temporarily at Fort Seward. There is no assurance when the Anchorage post will be built, as no funds are at present available for that purpose. Detachments of troops are to be assigned to other places, one of which will be Nenana.
