Sommers, Territorial Highway Engineer, had received word that the Douglas road was officially a part of the National Forest Highways of Alaska. The change had been made on request and recommendation of the Territorial Board of Road Comissioners through the local district forester, Charles Flory and district engineer, M. D. Williams of the Bureau of Public Roads. After several weeks on the drydock at Puget Sound, the Coast Guard cutter Unalga was due to leave Seattle to come direct to Juneau, then leave for the westward to patrol fishing grounds. Edwin Wentworth, new local manager for the New England Fish Company, arrived to take over his office. He replaced Sam Morris, who had held the position many years, but was going to Seattle to enter the Seattle branch of the firm. Mrs. V. Dapcevich and baby daughter left St. Ann’s Hospital and Mrs. George Shaw, recuperating from an operation, also was able to go home. Maj. Malcolm Elliott, president of the Alaska Road Commission, announced that the annual meeting of field superintendents would be held here starting March 11. All but Nome and Kotzebue agents were expected. Planning to attend were Superintendents Frank Nash, Fair- banks; M. C. Edmunds, Anchorage; J. G. Shepard, Chitina, and T. H Huddleston, Valdez. Mrs J. C. McBride left for Berekley, Calif., to join her husband on his return from the East. The couple planned an extended visit with rs. McBride's sister and their return here about April 1. “Honolulu is a great place, but it would be just a little better if lit had a few of Alaska’s glaciers,” wrote Frank A.
