C., on the advisability of further colonization projects in the Territory, according to wire dispatches. H. w.

He said the plans were only in the for native stage but that there was a strong possibility they might be ap- proved. If the new families aver age the same as the previous group the new colonists would number about 3,250, he said.

CONSIDERATION BEING GIVEN TO
 BIG ROAD PLAN
Three Tentative Projects for Territory Involving
 Nearly Seven Million

Indication that consideration is being given to the Alaska proposal ol $6,800,000 for roads and airports as a part of the new Public Works Relief program is seen here in wires from Washington to the Governors office asking the number of men the Territory can supply from re- lief rolls for the work. It is ex- pected that definite information will be forthcoming shortly from the national capital
 The present Alaska proposal calls for three major projects. two of which would provide for roads and include the two million dollar ex- penditure for the Fairbanks-Canad- ian line section of the International Highway and the other for some half a hundred new airports and airport improvements.
 EZRA officials estimate approxi- mately 5000 men can be furnished from the Territorial rolls, the bulk of these now being in the First and Third Divisions.
 The public works setup would call for completion of the work by July of next year and 90 per cent of the workers be taken from relief rolls Officials here have stressed the shortness of the season in Alaska and the need for early action. All ready one delay has been encoun- tered by the Alaska Road Commis- sion, which will have charge of the program, with the loss of some $4O- 900 worth of road machinery on the Denali when she went on the rocks near Ketchikan. Duplicate orders have been placed and it is expected the equipment can be replaced in a short time.

list.
Such connoisseurs of etchings and

"It is my belief that the original
homes of the first settlers form focal
point for the happenings of interest,
