5L | PAGE SIX 'GENERAL STEESE, 'OLDTIME ALASKAN, 1S JUNEAU VISITOR = Gen4 James Gordon Steese (ret.) would have you believe that he is a true dilettante, interested chief- 1y in the niceties of gracious living and preferring modern comfort to travel in a kayak under a blister- ing sun, or night on wet tundra | under a tarpaulin Since the first of three times that the Army has retired him, General Steese has revelled in such pleasures of the cosmopolite as world travel and fine food served with distinction But the Army has a way of call- ing him back for ce when a top-notch engineer is needed “They say I'm physically unfit for active duty,” said the general today in Juneau. “Maybe I a't } ace, but fight stand the rizors of pe how I'm expected there's a war.” As meticulously groomed in mu. to when as ever he was in uniform. General Steese looks the picture of the retired general. His conver rsation ! is colorful, as hundreds of cld- timers in Alaska know. “Be sure to put in plenty nf‘ “bull,’ " he said to a reporter, “then people here will know you really talked to me.” The Alaska bug first bit him in 1913, when he came to the Terri- tory on the Chisana( pronounced Shushana) Stampede in the White River country. He did not make a fortune, so went back the same year. WITH ARC ! After making a report ‘on the | proposed Alaska Railroad, Steese returned to Alaska in 1920. He| reorganized the Alaska Road Com- |, mission, of which he was p)esldem, from 1920 to 1927. During time, he also was Division En- gineer for Rivers and Harbors, rep- | resented the National Park Service | and was a member of the Terri-! S & torial Public Works Board. | While chairman of the Alaska ARE DIS Railroad and its chief engineer, in | MlSSED 1923 and 24, Steese was in charge | of President Harding’s Alaska tour.'l CLEVELAND, July 26—®—Six He took the President over the|cjeveland postal clerks reported new line to Nenana, where Hard-!(oqay that they have been sus- ing drove the golden spike at thel Tanana River bridge to open the railroad. ~ General Steese noticed | the tablet on the bridge just the | other day, and noted that the oc-‘ casicn was July 15, 1923. With ARC As Division Engineer, Wrangell Narrows, built breakwat- ers at Ketchikan, Wrangell and Nome, blasted for Port Alexander dock 1facilities, built the Govern- | ment Dock here, and a number of small boat harbors, including that at Seward. For 7'; years, he had an apartment in the old Zynda Hotel in Juneau. | Road Builder He built the military road from Fairbanks to the Yukon River at Circle, a highway completed by Ike Taylor in 1927, when the first The Tr We're going to SALMON DER! she will get $5 g ik For b Appeal CA ELLIS AIR LINES DAILY TRIPS JUNEAU TO KETCHIKAN via Petersburg and Wrangell With connections to Craig, Klawock and Hydaburg Convenient afternoon departures, at 2:30 P.

General Steese came to Alaska; this time for those ceremonies, ! making almost the same trip he| did two years ago, although, thi time, he skipped the motor jaunt to Dawson Creek. He did go to Nome, Point Barrow, Anchorage end Whitehorse, Y.
