10000 MILES OF ROAD WERE BUILT IN U. s. 
 DURING PAST YEAR

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. -.' Ten thousand miles of road were com pleted in the United States during the last year in conjunction with Fed eral aid as part of the Government s programe of building a system of highways in this country, surpassing those of all other nations. D. The selection of the roads to com pose the system of Federal-aid high way ys,; which will reach into practi- callys. every county of the United States, is progressing rapidly, the Bureau of Public Roads of the Agri' |yculture Department states.
 The system Is being outlined in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Highway Act, which con- templates a system of highways to be built with Federal aid "such as no other nation has ever possessed land which, once built, will be con tinuously maintained in serviceable condition" 1t is declared.
 Eighteen feet will be the minimum width of roadway unless conditions justify, in which event special ap proval must be given. The system will consist of not more than 7 per cent of the total road mileage three, sevenths of which will be primary on interstate highways, and the re- mainder secondary or inter-county highways The total mileage of pri' mary and secondary roads will be approximately 1S7O00 miles.
 From the present outlook" said the Bureau, "it is thought that this program of road construction will cover a period of from 15 to 20 years. Many states will complete their mileage in much shorter time, as they have included in the system considerable mileage of improved road. They will then enlarge the Federal aid system by including ad, ditional mileage.
 "When the system is complete the total improved road mileage of the country will be far greater than the 1S7OOO miles included in the system How much greater it is hard to say
 but in all of the States the system has been outlined, keeping in mind that State roads independent of Fed eral aid will connect with it.

Secretaries Work and Hoover held public hearing at the courthouse yesterday morning. Robert S. Don aldson and John A. Clark informed Secretary Work regarding the coal situation in the Fairbanks district resulting from the suspension of mining at Suntrana which was made necessary on account of the inabil- ity of the Healy River Coal Com pany to make shipments over the damaged spur line near Healy. Col. Steese explained that the cost of repairing the coal spur bridge, which was partially destroyed by the re- cent freshet. would be approximat, ,- ly S18,000 and that he was not in clined to authorize that outlay un- til the coming of cold weather, owing to the danger of another freshet during the summer months. No definite decision was reached at the hearing but Fairbanksans are hoping that relief will be given immediately.
 Mayor Marouam brought up the question of Government ownership and after some little discussion. Secretary Work asked the mayor if he favored a central government which would permit Alaskans to govern themselves in connection with the national administration, to which the mayor replied that he was not prepared to answer at this time.
 The Indian question was also brought up by Mayor Msrquam and discussed by him ard Dr. de Ia Vergne. The central power plant  was discussed as were also the mining laws, it being suggested that mine owners being given the option of doing assessment work or paying the equivalent in cash, the money to be used in road inn provements.

from what he had been led to be- lieve he would find in Alaska.
 The Pioneer Women and ladies of Fairbanks generally were not a little disappointed and much grieved when it was announced that they would not be able to entertain Mrs. Harding in the manner they had planned. But Mrs. Harding was on the platform to say goodbye to them and to regret that she had not been able to see more of them.
 The abandonment of the trail trip proved a keen disappointment to Captain Parsons, of the Signal Corps. who had equipped an auto truck to keep the President supplied with world news during his journey to Chitina. The captain returned to tne coast by rall With the PreSl- dential party, and the truck will be shipped back to the coast with out having been put to the use in- tended.
 The President and Mrs. Harding were presented with a number of gifts during their stay in Fairbanks the principal one being a collar of moosehide decorated with nuggets and old native ivory. The collar was intended for Laddie Boy. the pet dog of the President and Mrs. Harding, and the presentation wis ibly affected the executive.

President and his party were greet ed at the depot by the members of the Commercial club committee and Mayor T. A. Marquam, and driven across the bridge, between two lines of children who waved tiny American flags as the President was driven slowly into town.

 Mrs. Harding was not permitted to leave her apartments yesterday, as the result of having overtaxed her strength the previous day, but the President was kept busy through out the day and up until the time of the departure of the train late in the afternoon, when the party turn ed their faces southward and started on their return journey to the coast over the Alaska Railroad, after hav- ing spent nearly twenty-four hours in Fairbanks.
 Both the chief executive and Mrs. Harding left Fairbanks greatly im- pressed by the agricultural and min ing industry of which Fairbanks is the center but disappointment at not being able to travel over the Richardson trail as originally plan ned. The President only gave up the trail trip when Mrs. Harding showed the effects of too much hospitality on the part of Alas kans. Her strength also had been heavily taxed by the long hours of daylight and the short periods of rest. The disappointment of the executive was made the keener by recognition of the elaborate pre- parations made along the trail by the Alaska Road Commission and owners of roadhouses where the wis itors were to have stopped.
 Secretary Wallace. Chief Forester Greeley, Speaker Gillett, H. NJ. Bain and several others of the Presidential party left Fairbanks shortly after noon yesterday. headed for Valdez, where they will rejoin the party for the return rip to the States. ... ...
