HKUE ON WAY vTO VALDEZ
Col. W. P. Richardson, head of
the A'aska road commission, arriv
ed in Skagway last night on his
way from Fairbanks to Valdez.
Col. Richardson will probably leave
tomorrow jiigkJ on the Admiral
Watson for the westward. He is
stopping at the Pullen House while
hero. I
Colonel Richardson in speaking to
an Alaskan representative with re
ference to the bad condition of the
wagon road as reported by travelers
passing up and down the Klehini
river betweca Wells and the porcu
pine, said thai owing to the abnor
mal conditions that had prevailed in
Alaska during the past summer
from the melting of the vast and un
usual volume of snow that had fal
len during the previous winter and
the consequent unprecedented raises
in all the glacial streams of the
territory, it had been found impos
sible, with tiie limited appropria
tion available to properly look
Kfter the up-keep of the government
wagon roads and trails.
Col. Richardson, while admitting
hat there is a rich mineral country
lwaiting development in the region
Jack of Haines, said that so far
'"•e traffic over the 'road from there
Lis never been sufficient to justify
he heavy expenditures for road
vork that have already be^n made
11 that section. Wien ii is taken
nto consideration that inajiy more
uiportant sections in Alaska than
he one along the Klehini river
iave had to suffer j»s*leet..thjs year
ot from an unwillingness on the -
art of the road commission to do .
he work, but from a lack of the .
ecassary funds, it will at once be
<*'n that the criticisms of this <le
artment of the publis service for
pilu're in duty are hardly justified
>; the facts. ■
"Nothing would please^me better,'
sT(f Colonel Richardson, "than to <
.ve'ganljjs ^f men constantly at i
.ork in tho territory iu constructing
*nv roails and trails where needed i
nd in the repair of those already
uilt, and as soon ae there is mon- >
•y available for the Klehini river 1
oad you may rest assured that i
hat highway will be tak^ii care of." 1
