EXTENSIVE ROAD WORK
 PLANNED FOR SEASON

That extensive road work by the Alaska Road Commission is planned for the coming year is shown in the present program of construction as laid out by Anton Eide, at present in charge of the work in this and the Anchorage section. MT. Eide left last evening for Anchorage to supervise the preliminary work in that section.
 According to the present plan the work in the northern section will en- brace construction on the Talkeetna- Cache creek road, which when com pleted will give the people of that district about 40 miles of highway. Wasilla comes in for 25 miles of road work, with the main artery leading to the Willow creek mining section. From the main lead feeders will be run to the Archangel and Gold Bull lion precincts of the mining section This work, it is expected, will be com pleted this summer.
 The present activities in Anchor age vicinity will be confined to road construction leading from that city to Spenard lake, which will offer the people of the upper city an excellent summer recreation ground.
 The commission has recently com pleted a suspension bridge across the Chulitna river which will enable a vast section of territory to be exploit ed, especially to the westward of the river in question. Road work of ar extensive proportion is contemplated for the Matanuska section this year
 The work to be done locally thi: year will consist mainly of gravelins on the Seward-Nash road; with tht territory backing the undertaking This, when completed, will material! increase the routes of the autoist when vacationing in the adjacent en virons, and give an outlet to th ranchers at the head of the bay.

NEW ALASKA DIRECTORY
 BE PRINTED IN OCTOBER

The Seattle branch of the R. l.. Polk & Company, Inc, the national organi- zation of directory publishers, are making plans for a new Alaska direc- tory, to replace the obsolete and inac- curate edition now in use.
 The directory will be similar in form to the directory of Port Angeles and Clallam county recently publish ed by this Company which received such favorable comment Complete lists of business firms and individuals in all cities, and towns covered will be included with an entire directory of business firms, classified according to the kind of business and sketch of each city and town, giving distances from various points and valuable data covering mail and shipping.
 It is also planned to have an illus trative writeup covering the territory its various resources, the fisheries, mining industries, timber, oils and WOOu pulp os0 '" Shi SA~ NN-~ possibilities for agriculture.
 A section of the book will be devot- ed to the wonderful scenic beauties and the big game hunting, which will have its special appeal to the tourist ands sportsman.
 In addition to the distribution thru out Alaska, this directory through the system of interchange practiced by the publishers will be placed in the directory library of every large city ln the United States; This will insure much favorable publicity for Alaska, as the numerous sketches and illus trations will be arranged so as to give the outsider comprehensive view of Alaska's many and diversified attrac- tions which will go far towards dis pelling the idea still held by some, that Alaska is only land of snow and ice.
 Representative of the Polk Com pany will leave Seattle shortly after the first of May to make system atic enumeration and survey of the territory to be covered. It is planned to have the publication ready for dls rribution about October first.
