 CONTINENT

WASHINGTON, May 12.-Plans for President Harding's Alaska trip were completed today. His party will leave Washington June 20, returning to the capital about September 1. The pres ident will take the water route home ward proceeding through the canal to San Juan, and Porto Rico, and will visit numerous towns en route. The presidential party will take ship from San Diego for the Panama trip.
 His first speech on the advocacy of the entrance of America into the International court will be at Saint Louis.
 President Harding stated to press representatives today that he had but one motive in making his western trip this summer, and that was to visit Alaska to obtain first hand informa- tion useful in dealing with the prob lens of that territory.
 It was said at the White House to- day that the President felt that the development of Alaska had been great ly retarded though the actions of off, cials in Washington and for that req son he looked upon the proposed visit as a step toward the development of the territory in the right way.

ROAD CONSTRUCTION
 FOR COMING SEASON

Road construction will be one of the primary developments to be enacted for the betterment of Alaska during the coming summer season, is the substance of an interview held with Col James G. Steese, shortly after his arrival in Seward yesterday.
 According to Col. Steese the Alaska Road Commission will engage in ex- tensive construction in the First and Second divisions, acting on a cooper ative basis with the Territory. Prac- tically the same constructive program as has been followed the past two years will be followed out the coming season, the territorial board approving the general plans following during that period.
 Among other matters which will be taken in charge by the Alaska Road Commission will be that of shelter cabins, an increase of fifty per cent in the amount allocated in the last appropriation being allowed for the program this season. The erection and upkeep of these cabins will be un- der the supervision of the government with the commission doing the work
 At the recent legislative session a special act was passed which allowed for the purchase of the tram road in the Tolovana mining district, leading from the Trappers cabin to Brooks, distance of fourteen miles. The Alaska Road Commission will operate this project to assist the mining men of that district.
 It was also stated that a special ap- propriation was made for the better ment of the g-Unalakleet cutoff to Norton Sound.
 The road program for this year is very promising; when the plans have been formed and carried to comple- tion the year 1928 may be said to have been one of the most progres. sive in the history of the territory. A full forty percent increase in the ap- proprpiations has been granted over that of the past period, when $7OO,OOO was apportioned for road construc- tion. The program calls for an allot- ment of $9o0,0OO.
 The Seward division has been turn ed over to the Forestry Service and the assurance is given that on the re- sumption of work this year the pres ent projects will be nearly completed, with the Alaska Road Commission working on the Seward-Nash road and the Kenai sled trail, financed by terri torial funds. Superintendent w. w. Lukens has already submitted his es- inmates for basis of fall work, which will practically complete the program for this year, and, incidentally the completion of the Seward-Kenai road.
