Col. James G. Steese. president of
the Alaska road commission, hopes
I to stimulate tourist travel to Alaska
J this summer and has sent to var
ious steamship companies and protn
| inent tourist agencies a circular let
j tor. of which the following is a copy:
"I desire to invito your attention
to the splendid facilities that will be
| afforded tourists for summer travel
| through the Ulterior of Alaska this
year. •
"This commission began work on
; a main military highway from Val
dez. on the South coast, to Fair
batiks, in the great Interior, in the
fall of 1905. By 1913 this road, of
j 375 miles, was passable for light au
tomobiles. Hue to the curtailed ap
propriations during the war this
route suffered great deterioration.
It has now been rehabilitated and
during the summer of 1920 some
three hundred touiis.s made the
trip from Fairbanks to Chitina, on
the Copper River railroad, 320 miles
by automobile iii three days without
any serious incoavience or discom
fort. There are comfortable road
houses at intervals alot>g the route.
"This summer. 1921, the Valdez
end of the road will be open and
tourists may expect service through
local operators from July loth to
September 15th, between Fairbanks
and either Valdez or Chitina. The
tripTnay be made in either direction
but is most attractive going out
from Fairbanks and this direction
also connects it with a down the Yu
kon trip from Whitehorse or Daw
son.

to aztempt to bring thefr automobiles [
but to use the facilities of the com-j

noUng the first singe of progress. :
The hand, holding the pen in proper
position, and the words "Palmer i
Method" adorn the upper grade pins.
The papers for the second awards
on which thay have been diligently |
working will be forwarded on the
Jefferson.
The Maauai Training Department. '
under Mr. John Aden, has been do- f
ing very creditable advanced work '
during the school year. In addition
to smaller, pieces of furniture for ;
themselves, the boys have completed j
two magazine cabinets, which have |
beeu placed in the school library. A j
table and a commodious book case. I
for the same roonr, are in the pro- 1
cess of construction. These will be

ges through passes at an elevation
of about three thousand feet, and is
not a ebnerete boulevard.
