United States and Canada for the
construction of the Pacific-Yukon
highway, Ernest Walker Sawyer,
member of the international com
mission studying the project an
nounced at the Department of In
terior upon his return from an ex
tensive trip through the Northwest.
Speaker George Black of the
House of Commons at Ottawa re
cently received a report from the j
Territory of Yukon in which the

Business men and officials of the

enthusiastic over the prospect of a
2,000 mile road from Fairbanks, Al
aska, to Seattle, Wash. |
Negotiations are centering now ,
on the route. While the Canadians ]
are studying the costs and the most <
feasible direction for the road to <
take, members of the United States i
Geological Survey, led by the Act- ]
ing Director W. C. Mendenhall, 1
are making a survey of the Alaskan j
area. i
Both the Willow Creek and the 1
Fairbanks sections are rich in gold.
The reg;on is being studied to as
certain the importance and value
of other minerals as well. From a i
geological point of view, the high- 1
way will be of great economic value 1
to Alaska. In addition to serving as ^
an artery opening up the inter- ‘
ior, it will promote greater traffic.
Alaska is a veritable paradise for
the vacationist. Its beauties are var- ;
ied and its grandeur inspiring- Once ,
accessible to the thousands of Am- j
erican tourists by a direct highway, ]
it is predicted that tourist traffic <
will expand to an extraordinary fi
gure compared with what it is to
day. A net work of continental
roads from Los Angeles, Milwaukee, :
and cities to the east and south will
serve as feeders to the Yukon sy
stem.
In addition to the great tourist
travel anticipated, the railroads and
steamships are expected to benefit
greatly by an increased shipment
of freight through Canada into
various parts of Alaska.
It is further believed that a con
siderable portion of the $300,000,
000 now spent annually in Canada
by American tourists will find its
way into Alaska over the great
highway
SURVEY VESSELS LEAVE
The USS Discoverer, Capt. Camp
bell, and the auxiliary tender
Westdahl, Captain Graham, which
arrived in Seward Saturday night
for supplies and mail, left again
Sunday at midnight for the Bar
ren Islands. The vessels are car
rying on triangulation work at
these islands under the direction
of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic
Survey.
Seldovians, by popular vote, have j
endorsed the construction of a I
new street and walk, says the i
Seldovia Herald. They also have !
ample funds in sight and with the j
aid of volunteer labor and dona- )
tions they expect the improvement
to soon be a reality.

Well of Lonliness” now available
