A. R. c. FOR 1928
ARE 100000
Steese to Leave Saturday
Go Over Them with
Washington Officers.

Estimates submitted to the
Chief of Engineers by the Alaska
Road Commission for next year
call for an appropriation of $2,-
100000, it was announced today
by Col James G. Steese, Presi-
dent. He pointed out that this
sum is also called for by the Com

adopted several years ago, which
was given the approval of the
War Department.
Col. Steese will leave here next

route TO Washington. There he
will confer with the Chief of En-
gineers regarding the various ac-
tivities1of the Commission, Rivers
and Harbors work in the Terri
tory, and appear before the Di-
rector of the Budget to give per
sonal support to the estimates
submitted
OiflS1OIl OI 4 uuuS
The estimates submitted are di-
yided into four sections. The
major portion of the money is re-
quired for repair and mainten-
ance of existing projects for
which $S50,000 is estimated as
being the sum which could be
profitably expended. The other
ssain divisions are: for the con
tlnuanee of work already launch
ed upon approved projects. $780,
900; for initiating work on APP
proved projects upon which no
work has yet been done, $550.000;
and for work upon new projects
likely to develop during the year
100000.
One special project is also car
ried by the Commission in its es-
Inmates for next year. This is
for system of protection and
control of Lowell Creek. at Sew
ard, which Ii is estimated will
cost $125.000. OF this sum, Con-
gress will be asked to appropriate
100000. The Territory has al
ready authorized the expenditure
of $4,000 from its funds, and
the town of Seward will eontri-
butte $4,000.
Goes East Early
To be in readiness should a
special session of Congress be
called early next Fall, all de-
partments in Washington are get
ting their estimates in to the
Budget much earlier than nor
NAL. For this reason. Col. Steese
has been called to Washington
much earlier than he customarily
leaves each year.
He will be there until about
October 1. providing no special
session is called for October. In
the latter event, it Is probable
he will not return until the
Road COMMISSIONS estimates have
been presented to Congressional
committees, probably after the
first of the year. He will go
from here direct to Washington
and be busy in the office OF the
Chief of Engineers for three or
four weeks. He will then take a
leave of two weeks and visit
friends and relatives in the east,
returning to Washington to ap-
pear before the Director of the
Budget in September. Should
there be no special session of
Congress he will then return
here.

Coolidge Announces His
Decision Not to Call
Early Meeting.
is UNNE C. ESS AR Y
Sufficient Money to Care
for Flood Relief Until
First of Year.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.--Pres-
ident Coolidge has abandoned any
idea of calling Il special session of
congress as a whole or of the sen
ate alone, it was officially announc
ed at the White House today.
He has decided that there is no
occasion for special session. He
believes that sufficient money to
care for flood relief will be avail
able until January |. The army en-
gineers will be unable to complete
their investigation of flood control
problems until November -.
Mr.. Coolidge is advised that the
senate will take up purely senator
ial matters, including its election
cases, as soon as the general con
gress convenes in December.
BY the time the Christmas recess
is concluded, the president expects
these matters will have been dis
posed of and that flood legislation
and PERHAPS a tax reduction bill
may have been ""SSed bv the house
for final action in the senate.
Mr.. Coolidge thinks this scheme
will work out entirely satisfactorily
thereby obviating necessity for a
special meeting.

Senator ROYAL S. Copeland of New
York state yesterday afternoon com
rIcted two-dav survey of lmpcria
Valley and of the Imperial Irriga-
ton District holdings from Andrad'
to FL Centre last night and gave an
address before members of the
Conservation Club which proved
highly interesting.
During his remarks he pointed
out three reasons why the Swing
johnson bill must be passed and he
told his audience that If lie were Il
Californian he would seek to bring
about an agreement between his
state and Arizona relative to tn"
rlocation of the water rights OF
the Colorado.
This morning Senator Copeland
met John Q. Tilson, floor leader Of
the house of representative who ar
rived here late last night on a spe-
cial trip to investigate conditions at
tie request of President Coolidge
and Congressman Phil Swing, who
accompanied Tilson to the valley.
The congressman left early this
morning to go to Andrade where
they will make tour of inspection

This was the manner in which
Senator Copeland opened his ad-
dress last night.
"Therc are just three reasons
Why the Roulder Dam measure must
be passed. he declared.
WHY Bill Should Pass
"First-Californi and it's neigh

"Third-The country must devcl.

Boulder Dam would take care of
ell of these phases and would supply

zeal electric power. You have ev-
erything in this country but water.
Your climate is wonderful. your soil
fertile and nothing stands in the
way of the development of tn"
country save the lack of water.

guard against is Encouragement
You people should not get worried
for the Boulder Dam bin will be

Lit skeptical of the passage of the

be a slow moving machine.
Realize that this is big coun-
