 | The Seward Chamber of Con- merce writes urging the co-op- eration of the Delegate in conl- pioting the highway that wlI, connect Seward and Moose Pass. The project has been surveyed and the field work completed and now it is hoped soon to have station work started, which would tend to relieve an acute labor situation. It is also ex- pected that the completion of the project would materially as sist in the development of agri- cultural and mineral resources On Kenaii Peninsula. The road already runs 20 miles north of Seward but there is a gap of f3 miles south of Moose Pass and the estimated cost of conStruc- ton through canyons is $70O,~ 900. When this is built, the Highway would extend 45 miles northwest of Moose Pass to Hope on Cook Inlet, and B miles south of Moose Pass, mak- ing a through Highway of 73 miles from Seward. There is available forestry money to start l this work but the project must first have the endorsement Of inistrict Forester Fl0ry, the Alas ka Road Commission and the Bureau of Public Roads.
 The Geological Survey has just completed and sent to the Delegate a copy of a new edition Of large wall map of Alaska, which has been revised and brought up to date. It is a sale publication and will prove quite valuable to those concerned.
 Ernest Walker Sawyer, of the Interior Department, brings the pleasing information to Wash iington that another meeting of the Commissioners of British Columbia -Yukon-Alaska High way will be held in Victoria sometime during the month of lOctober, to consider data of a livery interesting nature that has Ibeen collected during the past six months. This joint commis- ision consists of Hon. George iRlack, for the Yukon; J. M iWardle, Federal Parks Engineer, flor the Dominion Parks branch, and George P. Napier, for the Province, representing Canada, land E. w. Sawyer, Major Mal- colm Elliott, president of the Alaska Road Commission, and Herbert H. Rice, prominent au tomotive executive of Detroit, representing the United States | Referring to the Highway an leditorial in recent issue of the 1 Washington Post sets forth the l following very interesting and Illuminating conclusion:
 Tt was a happy choice in idced that MT. George Black, the l Speaker of the House of Con- lraons, should have been chosen as a representative on the com Imittee which is discussing the preliminaries of a British Co., llumbia- Yukon-Alaska Highway
 It is a compliment to the Yukon, which MT. Black has represent
 ed in the House of Commons fer so many years. It is a compli- Iment, as well, that one occupy ing the position he does in Par lament should have been asked
 to devote so much time when lnot actively engaged in parlia-
 mentary duties, to rendering aid towards what it is believed vii: eventually develop into a service If very high importance for this part of the Dominion.
 "Mr. Blacks ability to speak !

cannot be questioned. He has
 the confidence of the people of
 the Northland, knows it's trans
 portation needs, and is persuad-
 ed that such a highway as is
 proposed will mean increased prosperity. The presence at Victoria recently of MT. Black land the other representatives of |the Committee discussing the British Columbia Yukon High way is an earnest of another |step towards the consummation of this project"
 The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has taken up the matter l of establishing a school for the natives at Stephens Village with Charles w. Hawkesworth, Act ling Chief of the Alaska Division. 4 recent petition indicates that lthere are 27 children now in heed of tuition and MT. Hawkes. worth expresses the opinion that school is needed at this location. It seems that for 16 years the Episcopal church maintained a mission and con-
 ducted school at St. Stephens, but these have not been in ef~ feet for several years past.

 Dr. Ales Hrdliclza, Curator of Anthropology at the Smithsoni- an Institution has returned to Washington from his fifth sum- mer expedition to Alaska. On his recent trip he found skele-
 tons of persons believed to have been among the first inhabit ants of the North American con- tinent. These were found on Kodiak Island, more than 100 miles southwest of Seward. It has been established that an cient man migrating to North America from Asia took the coast route and passed down the west coast of Alaska, rather 
 than entering the interior and passing down the rivers. The Curator states that discoveries on the most recent expedition
 are sufficient to prove the coast and peninsula passage rather than the other suggested route which is to the mainland of
 Alaska and along the rivers. Dr. Hrdlicka thinks that there is no probability that the early corners established themselves in any of the places along the coast for any long period of
 time. They always acvanced to- ward the South. By not estab '
 fishing themselves permanently 1 they therefore have left scanty
 relics and other accumulationS
 to identify them. Then again, the coast has undergone many 1 changes and has been complete f
