| Following a .30 day trip of inspec
tion of Richardson Highway, Yukon
Highway, the Matanuska-Wasilla
Anchorage and Mt. McKinley Park
systems, Major Malcolm Elliott,
president of the Alaska Road Com
' mission, who has returned to Jun
leau, expressed gratification over
I the results of the past season's
work. Generally speaking, he said j
all of the roads inspected are in ex
cellent condition. His trip took
him far North as Circle and to
it he Toklat River in Mt. McKinley
National Park.
INCREASE IN TRAFFIC
As a result of road betterments,
he said, there was a noticable in
crease in both local and tourist
travel in the Interior. A special
rate has been made by the Alaska
Railroad, the steamship companies
and the Copper River Railroad
whereby Interior autoists are able
I to ship their cars out over the rail
road to Valdez or Cordova and re
turn to the Interior over the Rich
ardson Highway. At one time, 13
Fairbanks cars were counted stand- !
ing before a single Valdez hotel,
i WORK ON LOWELL CREEK
j The main project at Seward at
this time is the construction of a
flume for the control of flood wat
ers of Lowell Creek to protect the
town of Seward ,railroad and other
Government property from high
water damage. This is progressing
favorably. Some delay was caused
j by a flood late in August which
l scattered materials that had been ■
assembled by the contractor.
; The wing dams to the flume have
been completed. Piling is being
driven for the flume and it is be
lieved the entire project will be fin
ished by the end of the present
year.
SURVEY AT ILIAMNA
Commenting on the reconnais
sance survey made of the proposed
Iliamna Bay-Uiamna-Lake Clark
road, Major Elliott said this is now
under consideration and its adop
tion probably will depend upon the
amount of funds which may be
available for next year’s work. Such
a road, it was pointed out, would
shorten by several hundred miles
the present route which is by water
around the end of the Alaska Pen
insula and up the river from Bris
tol Bay.
WINTER horses inside
The 21 head of horses owned by
John Hajdukovich, trader and
trapper and big game guide of the
upper Tanana country, will be
wintered in or near Fairbanks,
says the News Miner.
! The mining society of the Alaska
! College held an initiation last
week. Several neophytes were sent
; thru the paces.
