Herbert Quick in Saturday Evening Post
Readers Of history are prone to for
get how slowly our forefathers learned
to live in the wilds Sir Walter
Raleigh planted two colonies on the
Carolina coast. The first came to
starvation, and the defeated settlers
were rescued and taken back to Eng
land. The second, left for three years
without supplies, vanished from the
face of the earth.
Six out of every seven of James
towns settlers starved the first Win
ter, and half the Pilgrims in Ply
mouth did the same They seem, if
that be possible. to have been too de-
pendent on their faith in God These
settlers were helpless even while liv-
ing by waters teeming with fish. in
forests full of game, fruits and nuts,
and on fertile land from which to
grow food.

the fact that the first ten miles of the Moose Pass end of the route was talk en over from the Alaska Road Com mission and rehabilitated.
 Construction of the new road is designed to facilitate reopening some of these workings. The hills there abouts are full of gold quartz and next year at least one such mine will be in operation. The Canyon Creek De- velopment Company has spent $300,- 900 in improving it's property with the most modern mining devices and plans to spend another $15O,OOO before work is commenced next spring on a big scale.
 The road crosses slides, swamps, and washouts. On the side of noun tain it skirts the steep gravel chutes left by placer operations Another item is the muskeg, four and five feet in depth spongy moss that either has to be dug out or filled over. Cordu- roy is never used.

 Seward-kenai Lake Highway.
 On account of the Glacier Stream at Mile 5, it was decided in 1924 to re- construct the road from 3 1-2 to 5 mile. A location was run out crossing the Alaska Railroad at Mile IA, thru the McPherson homestead on a $500 foot tangent to the hill and following it to the Mile gravel pit. This work was approved by Secretary of Agriculture in May, 1925, and bids were called for in June. The contract was let to Stems & Carlson, contractors of Spokane, Wash. The engineers estimate being S65,O0OOO.
 This work consisted of clearing.

an old glacier bed. At another point there was glacially deposited clay, which is difficult to handle, as it flattens out. Two bachelor beavers in Jerome Lake provided another pro- blem, building dams which flooded the road and consistently rebuilding each time their work was dynamited.
 The Girdwood- Crow Creek project starts on the railroad and ends near the Girdwood Mining Company. This road was surfaced this year and about one-half mile of the old road on the upper end brushed out and graded up. This work was carried on all season with six men and one Cletractor and four dump wagons. The project is seven miles long and a total expendi- ture of S6,0OO was made.
 Maintenance work was accomplish. ed all season on the Cordova-Eyak Lake project on the six miles con- structed in 1920, 1921 and 1922 Clean ing ditches and redressing being the main items of work.

The contract was let to the Alaska Transfer Company of Cor dova for $11,00O in May for the con- struuction of this section. They em. ployed 12 men and two teams until about the middle of August, complet. ing their contract at that time.

The surfacing was made with two-course gravel surface 12 l feet wide The base course being six inches thick screened gravel that would pass thru a screen 1 1-2 inches and the top course of four inches that would pass thru 3-4 inch screen Work was started in July of this year and was completed this November. Maintenance on this Highway was started June first with three White trucks, one Weir grader and fifteen men. The first work done was clean ing out slides and ditches with special attention being given to drainage. Af- ter this was done, redressing or what l is more commonly known as hauling gravel was started, and about five miles of the road was surfaced. The bridges across the Resurrection River were planked to give more even rid ing surface. From Mile to Mile 8 1-4 the road has been widened with gravel to the Bureau of Public Roads standard for this Highway A total expenditure of $9,OOO.O0 was made for this maintenance.
 Quartz creek-Russian river mainte- nance work was started in June by five men living at Coopers Landing on the Kenai River.

 From Mile 20 to Mile 29, new road was constructed. Work on this sec tion was started in Auguest and 80 men were engaged on the construc- tion. It was completed this year. The approved estimate for this work was S135, ,000. The standard of construc- tion for this section is what is called by the Bureau of Public Roads, six foot standard. This means ten feet in thru cuts, eleven feet on side hills and twelve feet in fills. There will be 260 lineal feet of frame bent bridges and one 70 foot truss bridge These will be constructed this winter.
 Work on the Hope-Palmer Creek road, which starts at Hope, Alaska and runs up Resurrection Creek val ley for four miles to Palmer Creek and from there up the Palmer creek for eight miles ending near the Alas ka Minerals Company's mine, was done with five men, one Weir grader and four dump wagons.
