peak production. the offering Of so
many new creations Is further evil
derce Of the intensive competition
in the automobile world and the
never-ending struggle for the pro-

There are. however, special rea-

NEEDS OF THE WESTWARD

The people of the Westward and especially those on the Alaska Peninsula are in need of roads. The only to the east shorene for those dwelling beyond 1am Bay to Bristol Bay IS pack trai the construction of which was begun by the Alaska Road Commission which, following it's we-established and sound policy first seeks to give pack trails and conditions warrant and money permits enlarge into roads. This season the commission will continue the work of improving the trail which will assist materially but will fall far short of the requirements of large and prolific region which needs road According to Colonel Steese will require about $10000 to transform the trail into road This cannot be done this season. but in all likelihood will be considered in next years budget
 This situation calls to mind how dangerous it would be to allow road building operations in Alaska to be en- trusted to the Legislature During the session just clos ed that body voted the of $20OOO to start construc ton project paraleng the Alaska Railroad which is known not to have met the approval of the Alaska Road Commission simply for the that the region claimed to be served has by railroad and there is resource requiring road to develop for the entire dis ance This project calls for the eventual expenditure off S25O00O.
 This project was started in logrolling contest among members of the Legislature who seeking to win votes rather than benefit the Territory.
 In the of the Iamna trail, pointed out, only $1OOO0 needed to create travelway for distance of more than 200 miles, and at the same time permit of access to Alaskan markets including Seward and Anchor age for many valuable products that shipped to the States because of lack of transportation facilities any other route than Bristol Bay and around through Unimak Pass service available only in summer AsI result of this condton instead of being able purchase the necessities of life in Alaska the residents are com pelled to order from the Outside.
 It will be noted that every member of the Third Di- vision delegation to the Legislature was selected in An chOrage That is why the $5O0OO pleasure road proect put and why such conditions the Ilamna trail are allowed to exist.
 Thus will be observed that when it comes to real) and merltorOus transportation propositions the Alaska Road Commission is the agency through which they are solved while Territorial road fnd left to the mercy off the legislators are but pawns for uggey by politicians
