 Forty-five miles of siX-foot stan dard B. P. R. highway is fully com plete from the Alaska Railroad at Mile 29 down to Hope; however, there are a few slightly danger ous curves on which work will be carried forward next year, as well as the rebuilding or raising of a few bridges.

It is estimated an average of 40 men were on the payroll during the season an an approximate sum $1OO,O0O expended by the depart ment.
 All maintenance projects are now closed with the exception of the regular snow blowing which will be continued this winter on the Seward-Kenai Lake highway.
 THE 40 FOOT TRUSS bridge at the railroad crossing at Mile 3, 1-2 is being raised and we are adding a 19 foot trestle to it," Mir. Ingram said. A 19 foot trestle will also be put in at this time; material is now at hand for this improvement which will span that section of the embankment washed away last summer during the flood season.
 THE ROAD WILL BE closed at this point for almost week, MT. Ingram stated, The truss will be put in just as fast as

 tinued for he realizes it is some what of a handicap to have any portion of the much traveled high way closed down for any length of time. A pile-driver is now being erected to expedite the work.
 MT. Ingram is under the im- pression that the bridges on the radio road will either be recon structed next year or done away with then entirely and in their stead run culverts thru fills.
 NEXT YEAR IT IS POSSIBLE
 that work will go forward on the Crow creek highway and over on Afognak Island where a five mile stretch may be laid out from the old cannery site up to the govern = ment fish hatchery located on the shores of Lake Afognak. The need of road there is an urgent one as even the tractor, which has been used to pull wagon loads of supplies to the hatchery from the beach, has difficulty in getting in.
 MT. Ingram hopes the Quartz Creek road will be programmed next season; this will be 12 miles.
 DRY ROT CAUSED THE
 Bureau to close down the Kenai river bridge which also is known as Schooner Bend and also as the Russian River bridge. Repairing of this bridge was begun last sum- mer until it was accidently dis covered the apparently sound super structure was weakened throughout by dry-rot; following completion of tests to verify this cessation of work on the project was ordered.
 The Bureau has posted signs on this bridge warning the public the structure is unsafe and that anyone going over it do so at their own risk. At one end of the bridge | pil.--driver effectively blocks pas sage of vehicles but dog teams and nushers may cross if they desire It is Mir Ingrams belief that this winters SHOWS will, in all likely hood, break the bridge down While the crew was in that dis rict a survey for another bridge ite was made about 500 feet be- CIV the present crossing.

Too Much Shooting

i The manner in which Chief Of Police
Morley handled the matter of the policeman
who shot youth apparently engaged in moth
ing more serious than midnight adventure
will commend itself to the public. He charged
his own officer with manslaughter.
The increase in shooting by officers of var
ious sorts can be traced to prohibition and the
fanaticism of those who believe that the only
law in this country is the dry act.
Prohibition agents have been defended
when they have fired upon innocent persons,
always on the theory that in these days moth
ing is sacred and that dry officers should shoot
first and investigate later.
Chief Morley has shown commendable zeal
in checking real crime and his 'hard-boiled
order" against hold-ups and stick-ups has had
a salutary effect.
But there is wide difference between going
after and getting thugs and gunner who
menace life and property and shooting down
timid boys who are afraid of disgrace.
No man should accept place upon any
police force unless he is sure that he has
enough judgment to know when not to use his
gun and enough courage to use it when neces-
sary.
Promiscuous shootings by police and pro-
hibition agents have become altogether too
frequent.

Democrats "Want" Coolidge

Senator Pat Harrison, conspicuous leader among
the Democrats says that the Presidents veto of the
McNary- Haugen bill means that Coolidge will be a
candidate for denomination.
1t is not unlikely that the wish in Harrisons case
is father to the thought For it is easily understand
able that Harrison and Democrats generally would
welcome Coolidge as the opponent
Coodge's greatest single asset is his reputation
for sincerity. The public accepts him as who
says little but who means what he says. He is re-
spected for that by those who oppose his policies
Should he at the eleventh hour consent to be a
candidate that asset of sincerity would be destroyed
value up to now would be revealed as weasel words.
He Immediately would throw himself open to at
tack as an equlvocator. maker of slick phrases a
language shaver word juggler And all the structure
of admiration that has been built up result of
his firm adherence to his purpose and his respect for
the third term tradition would fall apart
We reerate our often expressed belief that, since
he made his declaration in Black Hills last August
Calvin Coolidge has had the slightest intention
of changing his mind.
Furthermore, think that he is smart enough
student of public reaction to realize the Vnerabiity
of his position IN event OF such Change.
The inexpalnable thing about the whole situation
is the child-like faith with which supposedly
shrewd politicians in his own party express them
selves as believing Coolidge would be the strongest
of all Republicans in a battle against AL Smith.
His reputation for sincerity shattered, he would be
the weakest.

Drunken Drivers

Whatever division of opinion there may be
as to the wisdom Of the present prohibition
laws, there can be none concerning the law
which says that those who drive automobiles
while drunk shall be placed in jails.
This law is not dry law nor prohibition
law, but stands on the same level as the one
which forbids the promiscuous shooting of guns
in crowds.
To many persons who wish to think through
on the question of prohibition the one argu-
ment for it's adoption in this country is the
fact that this Nation owns most Of the automo-
biles, which, under their present State of de-
velopment and wide ownership make sober
driving real necessity.
Gasoline and liquor, especially bootleg
liquor, form about as deadly combination as
the devil has ever invented.
The long list Of accidents can be traced very
largely to the fact that some driver has had
his brain twisted and turned with the modern
poisons Mat go under the name Of hootch or
whisky.
The driver who runs away from an acct
dent, an act which is felony under the law,
is more often than not drunken driver.
This is Nation of automobiles. In no
small degree it's permanent prosperity depends
upon the industry. The use by wage workers
is one of the miracles to people In other lands
and the amount of time saved in transporta-
ton, to say nothing of the incidental oppor-
tunities for pleasure and recreation, is big
factor in making the United States the out
standing industrial Nation.
A few prison sentences might serve as re-
minder to men who own automobiles that they
owe something to the general public, at least
to the extent of refraining from driving while
under the influence of liquor.
This country, literally on wheels, must be
made safe for the automobile. The drunken
driver is a menace not only to life but to every
factor Of our industrial life and the sooner he
finds himself on the penal farm the safer and
the better for those who have some decent re-
gard for the rights Of others.
