 After Road Funds
 Political observers who have been watching the Alaska situation for sev- eral months see in the change the irI.tial move on the part of the Ad- ministration to obtain large appropri- aulons for wagon road construction in Alaska next year. Colonel Steese is endeavoring to obtain the adoption of plan whereby s10,000,00o will be made available This purpose may be accomplished by either of two methods-direct appropriation, or by including Alaska under the provisions of the Federal Highway Act. Under this law $l00000, ,000 will be available for road construction in the United States within the next two years. Under il money is allo- cated to the States on a basis of one-third for population. one third for roads already constructed and one third for area"
 No Confirmation Here
 No confirmation of the above re- port could be had here today at either the Governors office or at local headquarters of the Alaska Road Commission The dispatch as received by The Empire was the first word either had heard intlmating a change to be pending or that one was under contemplation.
 Governor Bone said he knew noth- ing of the matter and had nc com ment to make until official eonsirma- ton had been received. None of the meDoeIs of the Alaska Road Com mission are in town. Chief Clerk carlfl there, however, said no in- formation had been received at Com. mission offices.
 Both Colonel Steese and Colonel Mears have been in Washington since last December. the former in connee- tion with road appropriatio and the latter going over the railroad project with Secretary Fall and ap- bearing before Congressional com mittees holding hearings on estimates for the Alaska Railroad. Both off cials will return to Alaska within d few days. It is reported that both of them have reservations on the steamer Alameda, leaving Seattle February 24 Colonel Steese was scheduled to leave Washington today

KANATAK, Jan. 24.-We have been having miserable weather the past month. Cold, sleet, wind and rain in succession with several heavy gales. The Associated Oil company is ready to drill. buildings having been erected, the derrick up and a large number of small cottages built. The entire plant is electric lighted, with power furnished from steam boiler burning the paraffin deposited by oil seepages.
 J. J. Finnegan is expected to arrive on one of the next boats to look after his extensive interests here.
 The Standard Oil company is wait ing for new treads for its tractors. The old treads have been found un- suited to the roads here, which are a volcanic ash.
 Bob Mcintosh has completed his store building and is awaiting the big rush in the spring.
 The hotel has been finished and there is now plenty of accommodation for all who come. Prices here are as cheap as at other points on the coast to the westward.
 Gabe Santos is serving good meals to all who desire them at $1.25 a throw for the best.
 Several new buildings are planned as soon as weather conditions arc favorable.
 A. M. Barnes, manager of the Green Front, is one of the oldest of the many old timers in Kanatak. He was been in Alaska a half century, with many ups and downs.
 Russ Hermann, the Kanatak drug gust, is expected back from Anchorage on the next Starr.
 A deputy marshal is badly needed at this place, and one undoubtedly will be appointed in the spring. A pc tition is talked of to have Bob Nc Intosh appointed. Bob is an old timer and very popular here.
 Kanatak needs a wharf the worst way. The present mode of lighterins all supplies is expensive and danger ous. The proposed wharf to be erect ed this spring will solve our transpor- tation difficulties.
