BORDERS IS ON LAST
LAP OF LONE JOURNEY
TELEGRAPH CREEK, B. C.,
April 2 — Ed Borders, University
of Alaska skier, who is making a
lone trip from Fairbanks to Haz
leton on skiis, hit the snow trail
again today on the last lap of his
long overland journey which fol
lows the route of the proposed
International Highway. Feeling
fit and fine, he arrived yesterday
from Atlin with his husky dog
Lindy.
The tough trail took the stu
dent two weeks to cover, half of
it to Nahlin Station. After a few
hours rsst here to took the trail
again with Lindy at his heels. He
plans to follow the old trail used
by the Klondike gold rushers in
1898. His next stop will be the
little settlement of Klappan and
from there ihe will much across
the Groundhog coal fields to con
nect with the government tele
graph trail at Blackwater Lake
near Fifth Cabin.
After crossing the Babiche
Mountains, he will follow the
Skeena River to Hazleton, 300 '
miles south of here,
Borders travels light, the only
fare used by ihim on the trip so
far is a mixture of cornmeal,
raisins and sugar, which seems
to agree with him. The big skier
gained five pounds since he left
Fairbanks almost two months
ago,
