CORDoVA.-At todays luncheon oi the Cordova Chamber oI Com .4eree the IolIowlng communication .as reau rom Aian '. raltn, while ne was enrouLe to Seattle, ana Is s,4I-expIanatory:
 Il have been talking this after noon with Charles Flory, commls- culture for Alaska, under whose supervision, as you know, the forests or Alaska are administered, and roads within these forests are con- strueted.
 Recailing a recent meeting or the Chamber of Cordoya, in which we rather thoroughly and unanimously condemned Southeastern Alaska for securing an allegedly disproportion- ate amount o1 the forest road funds or Alaska. l took the opportunity to express these same sentiments to AIT. Flory, and in particular took exception to the construction or rather reconstruction of the road to rnane from Juneau.
 while l am still convinced that CoraoYa has not received its just suare of the forest road funds, l do Ue4IeYe, after talking with MT. rlory, that We are wrong in object -ng 10 the expenditures in South eastern Alaska, and feel that if we nave any complaint at all 10 make IF ic aOaInSt exDeDditures in the henaI Peninsula district. In support or this contention 1 herewith pre- sent statistics covering expenditures uu forest roads in areas Of the 4ongass and Chugach National IoIests from the inception Of na- tIonaI forest road building up until and including June 30, 1881. These figures were given me by MT. Flory.

Illuminating Information On Road Ap-
 oropriations In ALaska' Forest Reserues

As a preface to the totals and figures, however, a few general con- clusions drawn from them may prove enllgntening: ketchikan road proJects cost more than Juneau and roads in Hyder cost nearly as much as Juneau. put the Kenai district roaas cost more than either Ket- chikan or Juneau. Out of a total of S1,347,yS4 spent on forest roads In the Chugach National forest there were S1.0S0,6S4 spent in the henai district. This large expsndi- ture was made in accordance with the national policy to build feeder roads from the Alaska Railroad but the effectiveness or soundness of this policy is open to question as very IittIe or no development has fouowed the kenai projects. AS you know, Seward is now seeking be- tween SS00,000 and S1UO,OOO,OUO Tor the completion of the road around the lake. 1t is within the realm of possibility that the con- tinuous spirit Of antagonism dis played by seward will result in the peninsula being withdrawn from the forest area. This will mean only one thing-there will be less money appropriated for Alaska forest roads and the entire forest area will sui fer. There is one other point to make. Nothing prohibits the Alaska Road Commission from building roads in national forest areas. In view of this, l feel it is extremely unwise for Cordoya to ask that any area De withdrawn from the forest and thus curtail the amount of money appropriated for forest roads.
 However, herewith, in brief, are some of the statistics made avail able to me by Mir. Flory:

Miss Betty Leveille whose marri- age to Fred Cunningham will take place at an early date was honor guest at a kitchen shower given Wednesday evening at the home of MT. and Mrs. Arnt Sorset by Miss Jean Grant and Miss Cherrie Sorset.
 Each guest received a cut-out kewpie or heart on which were directions for hiding the shower gift, and later, Miss Leveille locat- ed the many useful presents by the directions. Two guessing games further enliyened the evening. Three guests tied for the prizes in the first game, and in the cut, Miss Margaret Mccormack was the win ner. In the second contest, two guests were tied and Miss Etolin Coulter won.
