PLAN EXCAVAT|NG
ON NEW PARKWAY
Rock Creek.P0tomac Road
Work Will Start This
Fall.

The next step in improving the Rock
Creek and Potomac Parkway will be
taken in the FALL according to Lieut..
Col. U. S. Grant, Sd, director of Public
Buildings and Public Parks, who said
excavating then would be undertaken in
the valley between P street and Penn
sylvania avenue.
Procuring less than half the funds
necessary for this years work from
Congress. Col. Grant will be able to
accomplish only part Of the program
mapped out during the current fiscal
year.
The excavated earth will be placed
south of Pennsylvania avenue to X
street, where the present Improvement
ends in that area. At present, con-
struction Of new bridge across Rock
Creek Is underway at L street, but
considerable filling in of earth will be
necessary in order to lay the founda-
tion for the new roadway that will link
the parkway drive with Pennsylvania
avenue and carry it under the PennSyl-
vania Avenue and M Street Bridges.
The present plan is to take the earth
excavated from farther up the valley
the bridge at L street.
Temporary Road Considered.
Col. Grant expects that this filled-in
land will be permitted to settle during
the Winter. and it is possible that a
temporary road may be 00ss.>cted II
there are sufficient funds on hand by
next Spring.
Construction of a new bridge over
Rock Creek valley at P street by the
District Government is a factor in the
improvement of the parkway at that
point. Prov ision for the street bridge
was eliminated from the District ap-
preparation bill. so that improvement
will not go forward, and the. Rock
Creek and Potomac Parkway develop
ment is likewise waiting, due to lack of
sufficient funds.
Although the law directed that $751;
000 might be spent for improvement in
the Rock Greek and Potomac Parkway
this fiscal year, this item has been
slashed, through necessity for economy,
to $4,000.
Open to p Street.
1t is now possible to drive from the
EastWest Highway in Montgomery
County, Nd, down through Rock Creek
Valley on improved roads as far South
as P street. The Rock Creek and Poto-
mac Parkway has been improved south
ward from K street to near the Lincoln
Memorial. 1t will be two or three years
more now before the parkway can be
improved between P street and Penn
sylvania avenue, according to present
indications.

ENGLAND TO HONOR FIRST
 TEETOTALERS.

The memory of Englishmen who swore off strong drink 100 years ago example to the of mankind and thus brought to life the total abstinence movement" is being celebrated in Eng land this year. The focal point of the centenary obseryances is at Preston, where, September l 1882 the last of the pioneers signed the oath to forego spirits from that time
 They the forerunners of a host of others and, incidentally of the Prohibition amendment in the United States.
 The path of temperance was far from smooth at first Teetotalers were asked to pay extra premiums life insurance, because a non- -drinker was pre- sumed to have less chance of longevity than toper physicians branded teetotalism as suicidal and in- sane; some churches refused to allow the total abstainers to hold meetings
 The centenary celebrations include as promn- ent feature, meeting of the United Kingdom Alliance at which six special guests Dame Margaret Lloyd George, Arthur Henderson, Sir Donald Mac Lean, M P, Professor Gilbert Murray George Bern ard Shaw and viscount Snowden, are expected to sign commemorative pledge modeled upon that of the seven original pioneers.

FEDERAL POLICY TOWARD ALASKA.

If Congress would allow Alaska to govern herself, control her fisheries game, fur and other resources, it could keep its road and other appropriations and the people of the Territory would take care of them selves and WOO prosperity in their own way. They would make Alaska. desirable that the population would increase tourists would come and improve ment would be everywhere. Alaska would be good place in which to live to visit
 But long Congress keeps the lid on Alaska development and continues to run the Territory from Washington retaining the ownership and control of lands and other n atural resources, it ought to contribute to it's development The cir cumstance that there thousands of Alaskans born here and induced to come here through Gov ernment publicity and invitation, the Federal Gov ernment the owner of the lands and other re- sources, is morally bound to contribute to road building and other improvements. Otherwise the bonafide residents of the Territory will rot be able to progress if indeed, they not finally starved out of it.
 Congress ought to do one thing or the other It ought to turn Alaska to those who are here and those who would come here to develop in their way, it ought to continue building roads and otherwise contributing to the develop ment of the Territory

Here's to Success.
Anchorage Times.)

It will be great thing for Alaska if that gold saving device which Anacortes interests trying out, proves the success which its builders claim it is, The bringing in of a new gold saver is not a matter to Alaskans to become excited be- cause the years since Nome beach days have thus far failed to find any of the hundreds of experi- ments getting the results expected of them. But there always is the hope that some one will hit upon the right device to save the fine light gold and when that is done there will be great future for those sections of Alaska and the States pos sessing sand and gravel which carry that kind of gold It is estimated that the beaches along the coast of Alaska contain many millions in so-called flour gold, the recovery of which would provide lucrative employment for a large number of miners for an extended period of time

A MAJOR INDUSTRY.

The Chronicle has long insisted that with
 proper development the tourist trade in
 Alaska may become a major industry,
 that compete with growing importance
 to both fisheries and timber interests
 Canada has found it SO The Dominion
 Bureau of Statistics has just estimated that,
 during 1881, tourists spent $250776,000 in
 Canada. Commenting on the value of the
 trade, the report said, The tourist trade,
 which represents the economic disposition of
 our scenic wealth. natural facilities for sport and enjoyable and healthful cl- mate, has become one of Canadas major industries. Of our exportable commodities, only wheat and paper rank with it in importance and wheat, which until 1930 stood first, was, in 1881, lass than half the value of the tourist trade"
 That should be significant to Alaska. Not alone because our tourist attractions are comparable with those of Canada but be- cause too have the paper manufacturing resources-now totally undeveloped which the only commodity to outrank the tourist business in volume of dollars and cents.-t tKetchikan Chronicle)
 There is another very good for boosting he tourist business. It is industry that th Alaska knockers in the East-those who woult top road building and prevent industrial develop nent would not assail.
