On his first trip to Alaska in
the interests of the Ford Motor
Company of Seattle, for which
he is the sales manager, Joseph
J. Hague, arrived in Seward Fri
day from the Interior and on Sat
urday morning departed for Moose
Pass in company with the local
4ftgent, Charles Lechner, proprie
tor of the Seward Machine Shop,
who was desirous of showing Mr.
Hague one of the finest highways
in the Territory. They returned
yesterday and Mr. Hague agreed
that it was just that, one of the
finest pieces of road construction
it has been his pleasure to ride
over while in the North.
Mr. Hague motored over the
Richardson Highway from Valdez
to Fairbanks, thence over the
new Steese Highway to Circle. He
spoke in glowing terms of admir
ation of these road systems and
of others he had journeyed over
Awhile in the Interior. The Alaska
Road Commission and the Bureau
of Public Roads are performing
wonderful road construction work,
he said which, evidently, is Alas
ka’s most crying need—more
roads.
With respect to the Moose Pass
Highway he pointed out that no
#k doubt the Bureau of Public
Roads realizes more fully than
others the need of connecting up
with Kenai and Seward and in
due time, he added, the depart
ment will do so. But the road-bed,
and the scenics in the Pass, real
ly astonished him and he com
pared the highway with dirt
roads in the states saying he had
not seen a better one anywhre.
H Saturday night Mr. Hague and
. Mr. Lechner enjoyed the hospi
tality of Mr. and Mrs. Hershey,
at the Hershey quartz mine at
Hope, which visit was keenly en
' joyed.
The present trip was occupied
in making a survey of Alaska
conditions and a visit to all Ford
agencies. At every opportunity he
conferred with company repre
sentatives and expressed himself
as being very much pleased with
sales. Particularly so with the
Seward agency which he describ
ed as probably the best equipped
in the entire Territory; this,
without any reflection on others
^9vhich he also found to be in
excellent shape to handl thier
ever-growing business.
He requested that photographs
, of the Seward Agency be forward
ed to hi min Seattle for publica
tion in the Ford Magazine.
Interesting statistics were re
vealed by Mr. Hague with’ res
