LAKE TRAIL TO
BE CONSTRUCTED
Turner Lake to Be Opened by
Forest Service Trail to
Be Built Soon.
Construction of a first class trail
to Turner Lake Is virtually certain
to be undertaken within a few
weeks by the Forast Service ac
cording to a statement unde at
Forest Service headquarters today.
Work on the trail is expected to
begin in about 30 days and will be
completed by the middle of the
Summer.
A survey of the project has juet
been, completed by danger Harold
Smith. He reported favorably, in
{dicaflng low construction costs and
$»o obstacles to rapid completion of
the work. Two plans are under
consideration for building the trail.
The first of these calls for starting
the trail at the mouth of the creek
Which heads In the lake. This
would call for construction of about
one-half mile of trail. The second
la to build from the boat landing to
the lake, making the total length
WOtween two and one-half milea and
three miles. The cost of (he first
i« tentatively estimated at $760 and
the second about $1,600.
“I think there Is no doubt that
We will build the trail in the very
near future but It is still to be de
Olded which plan will be adopted,”
said Assistant Forester B .F. Henltz
elman today.
The work will be done by the
cretw under the foremanship of
Frank Aldrich which is now at
Windham Bay. It will complete that
project In about three or four-weeks;
and probably will be placed on thfe
Tomer Lake job at that time.

TIME EXTENSION,
CLEANUP DRIVE
Mayor Extends Cleanup and
Paintup Campaign Until
Saturday Night.
JuB.oan’3 Clean-up and Paint-up
Campaign, scheduled to end today,
has been extended until Saturday
night, according to a statement made
this morning by Mayor I. Goldstein.
"'The formal Clean-up Week is
continued at the request of the Boy
Scouts, whose splendid work during
the past week has ireen the soul of
tue enure campaign, sam ins auyjr.
'The decision to prolong the drive
to make Juneau the “Cleanest City
in Alasik^." was retched yesterday
in a conterence between Mayor Cold
stein and M. S. Whittier, acting for
the Scout organisation. The lattorj
represented that the boys, dr*pltej
the long hours they have devoted to j
the work and the energy with which
they have applied themselves, have
been unable to reach many ; not?
which are badly in need of attention
Boys Running the Show
“The Scouts are running this show
and running it mighty well,” said thf
Mayor. “If they want to keep ur
the movement, the city government
is behind them all the way and any
thing we can do to aid and cooperate
with them will be done gladly and
willingly."
Mr. Whittier believes that the
ScoiA patrols will have completed
the most pressing part of the work
by -Saturday night and have the town
In shape so that, by individual effort
on the part of clitizens It will pre
sent a picture of neatness to home
folks and visitors all sfeason—a strik
ing contrast to the coondition which
the launching of the clean-up cam
paign found it
Expect Prominent Visitors
“Civic pnido demands that we put
I on our best appearanfee and keep it
best all summer,." said the Mayor.
[“Our visitors this summer include
j persons of national and international
prominence; men who play an im
portant part in Alaska affairs. The
town's most distinguished visitor, of
course, will be President Harding
We cannot afford to welcome him
with unkempt, dirlv streets, unpalnt
ed houses and vacant lots and lawns
Jittered with tin cans and other rub
bish.
“Three of the President’s cabinet
are also on the list of prominent
visitors. Senators and Representa
tives, among whom are members of
Important Congressional committees
having to do with matters of greatest
interest to the Territory. These men
will arrive here within a few weeks
and from that time until the end of
the summer, guests of more than
local prominence will be in Juneau
almost every week, A great deal
depends upon the impression they
gain here and the most Important fac
tor In making a good impression Is
the town's physical appearance.”
Inapection Next Sunday
A close inspection of the city will
be made next 'Sunday. The Scout
patrols, accompanied by the City
Council, will leave the City Hall at
noon and visit every district. The
l'atnol having the cleanest district
will bo awarded the $10 prize offered
by the Council.
