One more step in “opening up” Alaska was to be taken when the Government began operation of river boats on the Yukon and Tanana rivers this summer, according to a bulletin from the National Geographic Society. Compilation by the Dcpamnenl of the Interior shows 855 wtomoblles in Alaska, including 403 passenger cars, 428 trucks, 2 ambulances and 2: tractors. The figures show 3364 gasoline boats in Alaska and three seaplanes. The motorcycles were negligible. Immense ice floes were blocking passage through Icy Straits, accord- ing to Capt. A. Nilsen, Superintendent of the Northwestern Fisheries plant at Dundas Bay. J. Newmarker, U. S. Steamboat Inspector for Alaska, with head- quarters at Juneau, was to leave for the Westward, going as far as the Bristol Bay district, on an annual trip of inspection of steamboats, G. W.
